Off Topic: Careful.. you might get a talking bird in here flaming you for having your own opinions...

On Topic: My favorite thing about LBP is that its Sony's biggest game this fall and yet its a game that doesn't need the power of Cell and that could of been done on any other next gen system..

I find that ironic

 

Yet it is in fact being put out as a PS3 exclusive. The diversity of upcoming PS3 games, including LBP and PSN games like Fat Princess, along with Home, and lots of Playstation Eye projects, none of which need teh Cell so to speak, is exciting. Is Media Molecule 2nd party? Dunno.

Ironic only if your assumption was that Sony is some one-trick pony putting out only power-intensive FPSs games and the propaganda to go along with it. See PS1 and PS2 for a refutation of the assumption. MS more fits that bill, if you minus the RPGs they've bought recently.

Now would that be propaganda from the MS camp or the Sony camp? Cause Sony's jumped on the FPS bandwagon and left RPG's behind.

And it still ironic that its games such as you mentioned that might save the Cell powered PS3 this Holiday..

 

 

It doesn't need saving, sorry; some great combination of games can make it really catch fire, though.

Sony has never made and published many RPGs, huh?  There's a recent PS2 RPG that they published that was supposedly great.  I think they published Legend of Dragoon.  SOE should get hopping at bringing MMORPGs to PS3, utilizing the bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse capabilities.

I fail to credit the existence of the FPS 'bandwagon' at all.  Resistance was planned early by Insomniac.  Killzone 2 has been in the works for a while (long while).  SOCOM is an old franchise that's predictably seeing another iteration.  And then there's MAG, which is pretty different in its own way, but maybe its announcement in the midst of the releases of the other games is creating a 'bandwagon' in people's minds.

The 360 purchased-RPG bandwagon, however, is real though less-mentioned of late on these boards.
