Resistance 2 was unveiled in the latest Game Informer.

 

[Trioptical]

Resistance 2 looks amazing! Not graphics-wise, though they're much improved over the original. What I think is going to be really awesome is the 8 player co-op campaign. It sounds really intense! Randomized level set ups and three different classes to chose from. Have you guys seen Left 4 Dead? The 8 player co-op reminds me of that, except with 8 people instead of 4.

Plus 60 player online sounds insane.

i got a ps3 but i hardly play it. only have sports games which i play with friends. we play the wii a lot more though

 

[Crimson King]

Well, I spent $20 about a week or so ago. PixelJunk Monsters is SO freaking amazing that I am glad I bought it. Highly recommended!

 

[sync]

I have a PS3 and I like it. I'm not too fond of the RRoD, and I like the games. I have MotorStorm (came with it), Ratchet and Clank, Assassin's Creed, Resistance, and Heavenly Sword. I like all of them.

Plus with FFXIII and Versus coming soon, I'm glad to be a PS3 owner. Along with SH5 and GoW3.

 

[Chill]

I'm definately excited for this year. I wouldn't count on FF making it this year but there's still to keep me busy. White Knight, Eternal Sonota, Little Big Planet and even Brawl (yeah I know it's not a PS3 game). IGN put up a 08 list for each of the systems and the Wii's almost made me cry. Half the games were ports or unnanounced. What's the point of listing games that haven't been announced yet? Especially the first party ones. Delays and Nintendo go hand in hand.

So far I own Ratchet, Uncharted and I just bought Folklore a few days ago. I'm enjoying that game a lot. I'm currently renting Warhawk but I've had it since November if that gives any indication of how much I like it.

I haven't even begun to spend money on the PSN but every week more stuff I want is being added. Echocrom is available on the JPN store but I think I'll wait for the english version. I'm also interested in PixelJunk monsters and some of the older titles like WildArms. Now if I could only find the time to play all of these games.

Rumors are going around Sony might be revealing a slimmer PS3 sometime soon, possibly at GDC later this month. They've also got a white PS3 patented on the FCC's website... I'd like to see this new slim PS3 in white, plz.

Oh and one of the guys from Square recently was quoted in Famitsu saying that the 2008 release of FFXIII was a misinterpreted quote. I think he said it might release in 2008 in the end, but come oh guys, FF games get delayed to no end.

You think it'd cost less to produce? I'm not sure about the PS2 fat and slim comparisons.

 

[bored]

Warhawk has gotten a bit dull. But I agree with Chill, Folklore is a wonderful game, that sadly has gotten little recognition. I've also been playing Turok, which IMO, is rather boring. A horrible FPS.

 

[Crimson King]

I still love Warhawk. It's one of those games I can always come back to.

Anyone got PixelJunk Monsters yet?

So as a non-PS3 owner I have to ask, how does the 60GB backwards compatibility compare to the 80GB (software only)?

I'm eventually (not soon due to money constraints and being poor out of college) going to pick one up and the BC means a lot given my massive PS2 collection.

I hear that the 60GB is better for this, but I haven't really gotten a lot of info beyond that from anyone who's actually tried it on both.

I'm asking given that Sony keeps scaling back BC more and more, and I'm confused on whether I should wait to get a new console when they do their next price cut - or whether to try and track down a used 60GB one via Craigslist or something.

There werent any limits when it came to BC before they discontinued the 60Gig.

So is any smasher getting excited for Tekken 6? I sure am >_>

 

[Crimson King]

Honestly, I play PS3 titles more than PS2 ones, but if it really matters that much to you, get the 60. I haven't a clue how the new one works.

Edit: Patapon demo for PSP will be in the store today. SCORE!

 

[S2]

New Tekken is always a good thing.

I'm still waiting for Tekken Tag Tournament 2... and I don't think its ever going to get made. My favorite Tekken memories are of playing TTT on an import PS2 back when it first came out in Japan.

Sony did good in January.

Anyone get the Pantapon demo for their PSP?

 

[bored]

I love Uncharted, there should definitely be a sequel, maybe add online multiplayer in the mix, possibly?

I also fell back in love with Lost Planet, despite how many bad ratings it got, I might just pick it up for the PS3.

 

[S2]

Bouncing off Uncharted... does anyone think that Naughty Dog is going to go back and make a next-gen Jak and Daxter game?

That's essentially what the makers of Ratchet did - created a new IP and then created a sequel to Ratchet, with Resistance 2 being in the works.

Oh well, I'm just hoping that Jak doesn't completely fall off the radar. Or that Naughty sells the license. I'm not sure if they sold or lost the license to Crash Bandicoot... but man, that series sucked #%$ when it went to a different dev. Sad, it really was one of the highpoints of platformers on PS1.

 

[bored]

I hope and pray this is true... But I don't know..
http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3home&thread.id=121386

It seems plausible

 

[Crimson King]

Hmm, that's quite intriguing. I am really looking forward to Home. So much so, I'd probably throw money at it.

Definately agree with that last part. Universal ruinged the Spyro series as well. I'm sure you can look forward to a Jak sequel as the devs said something about using the Uncharted engine for Jak. I like the series as well so I hope to hear something on it soon.

I read the link and I hope that's true. Home is long overdue for a release.

 

[AltF4]

Kotaku said that FF13 is delayed yet again, perhaps until 2010! That sucks. If there was one game that would have made me buy (or rent, but most likely borrow from a friend) a PS3 it would have been that.

But luckily, by 2010 my scheme of global domination will have come to fruition. So I can just order a PS3 to the palace, I suppose.

 

[S2]

FF13 had better be jaw-dropping amazing for how long the wait for it is. The trailers look good, but that doesn't really indicate how the final product is going to be. I'm really excited about the game, but I've seen plenty of games that didn't live up to their hype.

My interest in FF was renewed by 12, which I was not excited about until I got a chance to play a demo... then preordered the game within the next day.

Does anyone know if 13 is using the same type of battle system as 12, or a similar one (as in no-cutaways for battles and enemies on the map)?

 

[bored]

Wow... 2010.. that sucks, on second thought, no. Because I don't really care for FF games.... I just sure hope that Home will be released soon.

 

[Crimson King]

FF13 will still be a huge seller no matter when it comes out because it has Final Fantasy in the title.

Also, Sony hit 10.5 million recently which is pretty inline with their 11 million goal by March. An analyst said that Sony is selling much faster than the 360 did in the same time span, but that is meaningless. In reality, Blu-Ray destroying HD-DVD helped boost it, and will continue to do so.

Lair control patch supposedly is making it a whole new game. AWESOME!

 

[Trioptical]

Don't believe the hype. (or whatever)

I bought Lair, beat it, and the motion controls were the only thing that made Lair even interesting to play. If they just switch it to analog without fixing the targeting (among other things), Lair will still garner the mediocre reviews if reviewed again.

 

[bored]

So, is anyone getting GTA IV for PS3? I was going to get it for the 360 so I could get the DLC.

I am so excited.

 

[Crimson King]

I am. No DLC has been announced, but it's pretty idiotic for them to have DLC on one console and not the other.

 

[Cashed]

The thing is Microsoft payed 50 million dollars for the DLC. If 50 million dollars doesn't get them exclusive content, then holy **** wasted money.

 

[bored]

Hmm, I guess thats logical. Maybe they will make some new DLC , exclusive only to the PS3 version.

 

[Chill]

PS3 get's it's own version of Battalion Wars:

I'm interested.

 

[Crimson King]

This is just awesome.

I'm really interested in Haze, doesn't look much like another generic FPS. I love how it's based around this drug like stuff called Nectar and how it affects them.

 

[gangstajuice656]

PS3 is better than Xbox 360!! Bu not Wii!!

 

[gangstajuice656]

brawl is way to good for the Xbox 360 & the PS3!! (Sorry for double posting!!)....

 

[Crimson King]

So, I just realized I have A LOT to pre-order.

After getting Brawl, I am pre-ordering Force Unleashed, then when I get that Pre-ordering GTA4. Once receiving that, I am pre-ordering MGS4 to get the pre-order package which comes with a recap DVD + MGO Beta. Once getting that, I am pre-ordering Spore. Sigh...

 

[SpitFire15]

Hey, I got a PS3 last Christmas and was able to get an internet connection with it, but ever since a few weeks ago my access point was suddenly gone so I had tried to make a new connection. I turned the firewall off, entered all my IP/DNS/DCHP numbers, entered the WEP key, and even turned the router (2WIRE 2700HG-S) off and on a couple of times. I keep getting a connection error and I don't know how to fix it. Can someone please help me with this?

 

[bored]

....

So anyways, HAZE is shaping up to be a really good looking FPS. Wow, not generic...
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32587.html

I can honestly say I'm more excited for this game than any other, more than MGS4, yes I said it.
