hehe cant argue with the first line :D UC2 is for me one of the best games of all time

I don't think those franchises need to be canned..ESPECAILLY Infamous!most of them need reboots with a fresh start

Resistance, haven't played the new one yet but will soon...but from what i have seenthey have taken the right path. this game should be a shooter with a strong story and Survival Horror..

Infamous...it's doing just fine. consider the type of game it is and it is selling really well..and the quality has been top notch..Infamous 2 > Infamous 1 in almost every possible way

Killzone..this is tricky..i love K3 MP..but the SP needs to be worked on..a LOT! the pacing was horrible in KZ3..it was jumping all over the place...the game needs a strong SP and a great marketing campaign.

LBP..you are right tbh..i think this game should stick to Vita for a while..but don't want another LBP for a long long time on the home console.

I am really interested in seeing the next GOW..i guess they would keep Kratos but my hope is they would make a NEW GOW series. new lead, new setting etc. and im a HUGE fan of the series..and actually one of the few who likes Kratos

 

PS: you know what..actually thinking about it..you are right about KZ..they should can it and make GG make a new IP. fresh start. a more likebale cast of characters etc.

I don't get the mindset behind these thoughts, to be frank. Why can successful properties? The three sequels in question aren't even finished on the market. You can have/create new IPs without killing off previous ones.

well the only franchise i personally would like to see stopped is Killzone and im a HUGE fan of KZ3. they should at least stop that series for now or do a complete reboot of the story. LBP shouldn't be canned but we don't need another LBP for a long long time cuz of the nature of the game. but then again MM is working on a new IP so that won't be an issue

pressure from xbox shooters? like which shooters exactly...

Obviously Gears of War.

 

And I always new there was something special about Uncharted


i dont find gears of war that interesting.. looks like a clunky slow game with guys on steriods lol

whether you like it or not isn't the point. when I first played uncharted (I can't remember if it was 1 or 2) I remember thinking early on the guys that made it had obviously played GEARs. The influence undeniable but I don't see why that's such a bad thing. It was obvious from the get go that UNCHARTED wasn't exactly original. It came out at a time where it appeared as if sony had lost their exclusives so they needed something that could compete with the original ips coming out for the competition...and hey it worked.

I'm curious..what parts showed influence exactly?

lol, im just messin with you, its rather clear he hasnt played it

not really a surprise; i'm sure Naughty Dog saw what Epic Games did with Gears and took influence from it for Uncharted's gameplay mechanics

I wouldn't mind a break from stuff like Killzone or Resistance either, but you guys said to "can" them.

i dont think R should be canned tho....it jsut needs a new/current direction to it. will get back to u on that one once i play R3 :D

So they sold out to be like Xbox.. I knew it. I knew first party titles always felt and look liked Xbox titles

Is this serious?

Surely letting a great game's mechanics influence some of your decision isn't a bad thing?

Umm, Sony had plenty of their own "gritty shooters" like Killzone and Resistance before Uncharted was released. Halo wasn't really that "gritty" and realistic, and Gears had only been out less than a year before Uncharted came out.

How about just saying that it was influenced by the direction most first/third person shooters had been going in since the early 00's and the fact that they had become the dominant genre of the current generation?
