warhawk wasn't a ps3 launch title, it came later, and was terrible.

only ps3 launch exclusives i can remember off the top of my head are motorstorm and heavenly sword. not sure if resistance was at launch or not.

i personally think resistance is much better than killzone.

Yeah that's it warhawk was the only game I played mp for a bit and I bought resistance with the system too which I think I just got tired of after some time. But the gameplay was pretty cool I guess I wasn't all that into alien games like that but now I don't seem to care.

 

[cmdrdredd]

Never played kill zone but I probably should try it. I forgot, the ps3 had the same issue, I think heavenly sword and that multiplayer game with flying machines were release games. I played the crap out of that multiplayer game I can't think of it. Heavenly sword I didn't even touch.

Heavenly sword was pretty cool for an launch game IMO. Kind of like god of war light edition heh.

Anyway...most launches aren't all that spectacular anyhow. This is better than last gen IMO.

Eh, I thought Heavenly Sword was more like God of War: Bad game edition. But to each his own I suppose.

Yeah, the launch titles for this gen are much better this time around. I still think what Sony has announced is rather weak.

Yeah kind of. Not sure what games I'll buy with the system besides watch dogs. The witness looks good. There's also the cia agent game they showed. Looked good.

So I watched that demo of the eyetoy2 thing with the controller and I thnk there are some elements of that a kid would absolutely love. Could you see them playing a game like Endless Ocean but they are actually in the sea interacting with the sea life?

I'll just stop there because my other thoughts (un kid related) are not so clean.

Sept 9 1995 9:05am I walked out of a Software Etc with a PS1, two controllers, two mem cards, and games Toshinden and Kileak. Both pretty terrible. I dont remember if Jumping Flash or whatever was launch or not.

While it turned out just fine and ended up a RPG gold mine, curiously the game I bought it for didn't arrive until years until Arc the Lad collection.

Was so high on JRPGs from SNES, and saw screen shots of Arc the Lad from a EGM article and knew I need a PS1. Esp when Square signed on with PS and not N64.

I ended up installing a PIC 12C508 programmed to circumvent region/copy protection and playing an import version :awe:

Oh I still have that SCPH-1001 with the 12C508 still inside

jumping flash fucking owns. i was cleaning out a room last few weekends ago and found my PIC programmer. used to make and install modchips when i was 15/16 years old or so. made a killing!

Yeah it was pretty crazy. I know it was one of my first games I just don't recall if it was a launch game or not.

And god those long boxes were terrible!

 

[purbeast0]

nah it wasn't a launch game. but the demo disc that came with psx had a demo of jumping flash on it.

You bite your tongue, Heavenly Sword was a really good game.

 

[AMDZen]

Not sure why a hot God of War character is a bad thing but some people have zero taste

 

[Anubis]

it was not bad, it was just over hyped to all hell

Honestly, I'd take Knack and Killzone over anything MS is releasing day one. I hate dead rising, not really a fan of racing games any longer and Killer Instinct doesn't grab my attention.

*shrug* My tastes as a gamer have changed since the launch of last gen for sure. I said before that I would have been interested in KI a few years ago. Now I am burnt out on fighters. SSF4:AE, Tekken Tag 2, SF x Tekken, MK, Injustice, KOF, Skullgirls, BlazBlue, Mvc3...just too many for me.

 

[sze5003]

There was a list earlier. I'll see if I can post it when I get home.

Killer Instinct is the only thing that makes me even look twice in the Xbone's direction. I didn't look that direction for long though. No way an old fighting game can sway all the crap MS has pushed down our throats.

I have ZERO, I repeat ZERO interest in Kinect MS. ZERO.

Nor am I interested in PS EYE

Those games also look amazing to me. The more I see of knack, the funner it looks. And I actually like killzone. It may not be halo, but it is a lot of fun. This one looks so cool because of the different settings. The forest looked beautiful in the demo at E3.

That is understandable. I didn't like Killzone or inFamous on the PS3, so I have no interest on the PS4. Knack really didn't look like something I'd want either, at least not bad enough to buy it at release. MS showcased games I like more.

 

[American Gunner]

I have a question for your guys, and I hope this doesn't turn in to an ugly war. I hear a lot of Xbox guys claiming that with the set up of the XB1, that it will be future proof and will end up making it the better system in the long run. I understand they have the cloud and all that jazz, but I guess I just don't see how it could make it so that one day the ps4 is an inferior product to the xbox. Anyone have a take on this? And not just "Xbox sucks and they are idiots", some actual input on the subject.

From what I've seen of this Killzone, it's completely different. It's been described as Killzone Meets Crysis in terms of the environments and allowing you to complete objectives at your leisure and not so linear(not necessarily open world). I really didn't like Killzone that much at first myself. It's not really the type of FPS game that grabs you and keeps you playing like Halo. It's kind of an acquired taste I suppose

I like Mark Cerny's previous work and he is working on Knack. That's about the only reason I'm looking at it.

Sony is building a cloud type network for the PS4. Their plans involve being able to instantly play streamed downloads and having every full title on PSN available for a timed full version demo.

Persistent worlds etc require dedicated servers, like MMOs have. WHere when you aren't playing, things change. Drive Club on PS4 has something like this. The game takes place 24/7 and there are new challenges and such added even when you are offline. Destiny is also similar to this style of game. When you aren't there, your friends can be etc.

Is that what you mean? Cause there is no way to overcome hardware limitations or memory constraints simply from being connected to the internet. So like in the future if someone developes an engine, say CryEngine 4 that uses 8GB of VRAM and runs at 60fps on a GTX 970 @ 4k resolution, there's no way to make a console handle it just from being online. The limitations are still in the hardware. Initially this limitation as I call it (being locked in hardware with no upgrade path) won't mean squat. Further out though, who knows what developers could be working on that they again have to scale down to the hardware?

Yeah, I guess that kind of fits what I was asking. I heard on another board a bunch of people talking about how the cloud will "future proof" the console, and in a few years the cloud would make the xbox more powerful than the ps4. It all sounded really fishy to me, so I thought I would ask since I am not the most tech saavy person around.

just remember, the majority of the people mentioning "the cloud" have no idea wtf it really even is, other than a buzzword they have been hearing for a few years now.

What was that dragon game that was a ps3 release that was absolutely killed.

I need to play heavenly sword. It's still shrink wrapped...
