That's why you can only carry a couple of weapons at any given time. That's why your health regenerates automatically. ...wait. That doesn't make sense. Sony is to blame. Ever since they've entered the home console arena, they have worked hard to change the perception of the market by manipulating game journalists. Today the Playstation brand is the golden standard in gaming (at least in Europe and most of the world) and most websites will tell you in their editorials and articles that all consoles should strive to be like the PS3. First person shooters didn't mature, but Killzone 2 was put on a pedestal to become the standard for the genre. That's the point where things started to go downhill. In the last few years we've repeatedly had news claiming that the money is on consoles and that the PC isn't worth it anymore. This lines up perfectly with what Sony wants, full control over gaming. They realized that they don't have a chance to get the major American talent on their console, so they focused on the other big thing: The Japanese talent. However, that was predominantly working on the SNES, so they did everything they could to build the perception which consoles was the way to go, along with the obvious moneyhats of course. Feel free to write this off as a silly conspiracy theory. |
It works, what can I say?
Tease.
