Yea...I cheated ^_^

As for why Sony decided to pick up Guerilla games. I guess they saw something I didn't. While its true that Killzone and Nam 67 were garbage, Killzone Liberation was quality and Killzone 2 looks extremely promising so it looks like Sony's bet paid off. Picking up unproven developers is probably the cheapest way to secure lasting exclusives. When one negotiates with Epic for its latest fps, one is negotiating for a small, expensive window of exclusivity. But developers such as Level 5 (who is now one of the most respected jrpg developers in the business despite a shaky start with DC1), Media Molecule (Littlebigplanet looks amazing), thatgamecompany (Flow was unlike anything I have ever played, and I haved played games for 29 years) and Ninja Theory (Heavenly Sword looks hot, even though it draws quite a bit from God of War) didn't have the world beating down their door, so the terms were undoubtedly more favorable to Sony.

I understand that...Its just...Why are they doing it again is all? Another Killzone Hype up and everything. You saw how Resistence was...Why not try to give them a bit more time and everything. Maybe hire outside the company for a script or something. Use some of your Sony Muscle. Even now with Killzone 2...about all they proved is that it looked pretty. Not much else. The thing is...a game does not have to be highly innovate or ground breaking. Why is it Halo is looked at as the best? Polish, balance, etc. It is just the complete package to speak. It is an extremely well developed game. Dragon Quest is another example...It is pretty much everything wrong and generic with JRPGs. Yet it was just extremely well done. It was classical to speak.

I do understand the idea as you said of picking up the lower studios. Simple...They are cheap. About all you have to do is fund them lol. Alot easier to manage and push around to speak.

But I could see that as a fault also...The fact that they can not really change. Its kind of why Im not really excited for Rachet and Clank even though I own the last two. Its because that I own the last two...I know its going be a great graphical jump. But on gameplay side...Im expecting more of the same like the last 3 were. I know what to expect pretty much. Its kind of the reason why I never cared for Naughty dog...To be honest. Darke's Forture is the first game of thier Im actually excited for it.

He's now an EA tool.

"LOL PS3 SUX STILL NOT $399!"

It could be worse...He could be a Sony Tool:o

[QUOTE="Carnageheart"]Wow. Resistance must have been Insomniac's training wheels. I love the Ratchet series and I'll be there on day 1 for Future. I hope more weapons equal the disco ball in creativity.CarnageHeart

Cool. I expect Resistance 2 will be extremely easy on the eyes. If they focus more on big battlefields and beef up the weapon and enemy variety (I know Insomniac doesn't want to go overboard with the weapons, but they could go a little crazier) then Resistance's campaign mode could really become something really special.

See this is what I never understood...Why Killzone? Why waste so much money and time on them? You have Zipper, Insomanic, and maybe a thrid party. Why them? Instead of trying to force an annual release out of them yearly. Why not give them a larger budget, more time, and everything else to really get something great there. Instead of forcing that annual release out of them. Doesn't really make any sense banking on Killzone when you have two developers yourself who actually made quality games before for your system.

Nooo! You win this time, oh but I will be back with a vengance. :P

EDIT: I am just going to paste what I wrote in the other thread:

Out of nowhere Castlevania SOTN hit the PSN today, for whatever reason it costs $10 rather than the normal $6 for PS1 games. I have an original copy of the game so I dont need it but if for whatever reason you never played it do so. Also this version will allow you to play it on your PSP, so its SOTN handheld as well.

Also updated are GT5 videos, Ratchet trailer, Infamous Trailer, Heavnly Sword making off video.

If you have a EU account you get a Darkness demo.

fathoms_basic

It could cost $40 and still be worth every effing penny. ;)

Before the XBLA version and it being on Castlevania X...it would cost 50 ^_^

The original Ratchet is one of my favorite platformers ever, so I'm definitely interested in this one. I mean they're all really good, but every one since the first has kind of felt like an expansion pack. The original just blew me away though.

Its kind of like GRAW 2 was...They have that annual Release feeling to it...Its kind of why Im not really excited for it. Its a must buy when you get your PS3...But its not like you havent played it before is all. Its like Madden...you know what to expect.

I'm buying it for the PC, where it belongs. Heil68

QFT...People love them Consule Timed Exculsives lol

[QUOTE="Dencore"]

As for the laws restricting foreigners I'm just curious how you know that. I'm not saying you are lieing or over-exaggerating, I'm just curious since it sparks my intrest.

[smerlus

I lived in Japan for two years and there are stores, restaraunts, bars and the such that have signs outside of their doors that boldly say Americans Not Allowed. they aren't rampant and they are usually by military bases, but they still exist

Actually its pretty easy...Look at thier sports. Only 1 or 2 Foreigners allowed on thier professional teams or something like that. And in school...the last one I remember reading about was on one of thier big relay race they for it(Something like that, do not remember directly). It was like...A Foreign student can not run the first part of the race and you can only have one foriegn student per team. Some stupid rule because I guess an African Transfer student from the sound of it blew everyone away in the race...(Im not jking about this either...That was the excuse pretty much)

Disgaea 3...PS2. Why in heck would they honest make it a PS3 exculsive?

SSBB on 360...I so want it on a system with good online. I do not want to leave it to chance with the Wii is all...They may have good online or it could suck. Atleast with live I will know it will be solid
