^I remember seeing MASSIVE ads campaign by Sony when GoW2 was released, I think Sony will do just the same this time. You will probably see some gameplay in the ads too.

On a related topic, LO is having a HUGE campaign here in Canada, but showed NO gameplay, for all people know, it could be a Dynasty Warrior kind of game. lol, sometimes Gears of War ad trailer should be avoided.

They allready started , and yes , there is gameplay in it ( thanks god :D ) .

 

davygee : I agree , Sony is pushing this game allready , and it will push sistems to . The only games that I think are also sistem sellers are : Crisis Core , KH : BBS , Monster Hunter ( in Japan ) , GTA LCS/VCS and Dissidia if it will be good . Honorable mentions are going for Portable Ops and all the EA sports games , because the PSP is the best handheld for sports games IMO ;)


 I disagree bitterly, DS has a lot of quality sports games as well. Feast your eyes on those babies.

 ( Pleae , if your post was sarcastick dont minde my answer :P ) I know that it has many great Sports games , but just looking at sales and reviews , you will know that its not the strongest point of the DS . The best example is the flop of PES 08 on the DS , and the success of it on the PSP . I know that the DS has some great sports games ( hell , I even liked how Fifa Street 2 worked on it ) but IMO the PSP is better in that cattegory : 

 

    Metacritics :

    Fifa 08 : PSP : 79              DS : 78 ( OK , not a big difference I agree :P ) 

   Madden 08 : PSP : 75        DS : 71

   PES 06 : PSP : 81              DS : 63

   MLB 07 : ( IGN ) PSP : 59       DS : 30  

    NFS Carbon : PSP : 73         DS : 70

    Fifa Street 2 : PSP : 58        DS : 43

lol, honestly, if you want to compare games. PSP games get higher scores over DS in most categories. Other than possibly platformer and puzzle games.

Oh ... so you where actually mocking it :P I didnt observed ( stupid me ) . Well for sports games is understandable , because in sports what people really want is realism . The DS on the other hand is great for 2D games , especially minigame collections and puzzle games ( and yes sidescroolers to ) .

well, the Castlevania game looks a lot better on PSP (mixture of 2D and some 3D element), Puzzle Quest looks A LOT better on PSP than DS's counter part.

Honestly, the only thing I use my DS for is Elite Beat and FFXII (RPGs), but when Crisis Core come out, I might trade in my DS.

I know what you mean . I bought one in January 4 , and bought for it 7 games ( MKDS , MPH , NSMB , FF3 , LoZ:PH , Brain Training , Sonic A ) and I sold them all last week . I just cant keep my interest in them . Afther playing during the first week all time long , I quickly went back to Logans Shadow and The Warriors .

I know that the DS is a quality handheld , its great , just that it cant win me ( and Ive tried for the second time ) .

Also , I like 3D platformers more ( Daxter , Ratchet ) more than 2D :? And I love the other high-end games like Wipeout , Syphonfilter , MGS , Pursuit Force , Tekken etc.

NOTE for bashers : I like the DS , just that I cant kill my old tastes and habits , so before attacking me that Im bashing the DS ... well read this :P

Woohoo, downloadable demo at the store!!

Developers are really doing a good job of giving demos lately.



hunter_alien on 22 February 2008

Yep ... and this will help probably sales to :)

Wow, I'm buying this game for sure, the demo was the best game I've ever played on PSP.



kingofwale on 22 February 2008

I heard Patapon is selling at a discounted price? 30 missions and about 14 hours of gameplay (according to IGN video review), Wow, I'm getting that too.

7-10 hours for an experienced GoW fan. It's not as long, but it's in Uncharted/Gears of War area.

I've never really played GoW series, so it will probably take me about 12-14 hours.
