August 14 Madden 2008

August 21 GRAW 2

August 28 Warhawk

September 4 Heavenly Swofd


maybe its just me. but none of these ps3 games caught my interest. in my opinion they're rather weak. i dont think the ps3 is worth $499 yet. I'll wait for metal gear solid 4, then ill buy a ps3.


 are you kidding me. Warhawk is the greatest multiplayer game I've played in ages. It kills the battlefield franchise.

Wow, heavenly sword doesnt catch your attention thats a first.

 


It doesn't catch mine either.

I completely understand why some people aren't interested in some of the Wii games. That's fine, it's cool. But why is it that many PS3 seem to be unable to even fathom that some of us really, honestly don't care about Heavenly Sword/Lair etc? It's like you think I'm saying that because I'm a Wii fan and I just want to stick up for my console.

I honestly, genuinely have no interest. Seriously. For real. No joke. I know you're not the only one to behave this way, Leo -- I'm responding to your post specifically, but you're not the lone person who says things like: "Wow how can you not be interested in [random PS3 game]."

Here's a method that may help some of you understand: do you care about Zack and Wiki? Super Mario Galaxy? Wii Health? Wii Music? I bet in several of those cases, your answer is "no, of course not." Now, simply imagine I feel the same way, but about many of the PS3 games.

How could someone not care about Heavenly Sword? Or Warhawk? Or Lair? Answer: The same way you are able to not care about Wii Fit or Brain Age or Wii Sports.

Final note: I am not saying that you should believe like I do, Leo (or anyone). I'm not asking for you to like the same games I like, I'm just asking for you to accept that many of us really, genuinely aren't interested in many of the PS3 titles, and that we really, genuinely enjoy many of the Wii titles instead. We are not all sitting in secret envy of the PS3's greatness.

Thats just how fans are, Bodhesatva. For example, at e3 when Mario Galaxy was shown and confirmed for a November 12 launch... Imagin someone saying, "I have no intrest in a kiddy game like Mario." You're most likely gonna think there's something wrong with that person.



How much does a PS3 game like Heavenly Sword cost to make? I want to know how much they have to sell to make their money back. After Ninja Gaiden's performance, you have to wonder if they will delay Heavenly sword a little closer till Christmas to maximize sales.

I agree with you, Grand, that's why I wanted to emphasize that I wasn't really picking Leo-j out: lots of people do it. However, I'm hoping that putting it in a simple perspective will help people understand where others are coming from.

Namco Bandai (an actual developer) and Lazard (a market analyst) put the number of copies between 500,000-600,000 for the average PS3 game, but Heavenly Sword may be higher than that, as its development costs were quite high, I understand.

Behaving it what manner? It just seems that most people that I know seem interested in heavenly sword, I didnt say How can someone not care about heavenly sword, I just said how can it no catch your attention, Wii sports is an awsome game that I have played, and why wouldnt I be interested in mario galaxy if sunshine was my favorite mario game? Wii fit would catch most people's attention as well as heavenly sword, but I am just a kid, how can you expect me to behave in such a mature manner as you do yourself sir?

plus ninja gaiden was a port.. all they had to do was enhance the graphics... they didnt have to build it from the ground up..

500,000 * 60 = 30 million. Not every game costs 30 mil to make.

Gears for example cost under 15 million. Using the Unreal Engine 3 helped minimize costs. This is why everyone wants it.
