Now, you can hype your multiplayer Resistance sequel all you want (what, it does have a single player part??? Really? All i keep hearing about is the 60 players online, and i see some old gen screens - Black Looked way better...). Bioshock Has arrived, and there will be another GRETA proof, that PS3 fans are not in position to honor such a GREAT release (Half Life anyone?) even if its out 16 months later.
I'm really sorry to say it, but, Bioshock PS3, has no luck...

I have no problems with you presenting your opinion on Bioshock, but keep the not-so-stealthy trolling on Resistance out of the thread.  Stay on topic, and be respectful.


 All I was trying to say is that the Hype machine of games such as Resistance (which we don't know how it will like) is gonna cost Bioshock (which doesn't need hype cause we all know EXACTLY how it looks like, and it looks like one of the greatest games of this generation)  big time . And unfortunately that is the plain truth. (As for Resistance, you can replace the title with any other pre-over-hyped game that will be released this time of the year)

And why exactly am I not respectful? To whom?

since when was too many shooters a bad thing?

am i a retard here?



I also wonder how all those PS3 fans that put down Bioshock will feel now.

Killzone 2 will be poor, doesn't matter when it is released.

what was COD4 then?generic beautiful FPS

no one knows about the quality of the game ,so don't start the flame with going off topic.
this tread is about management decisions not quality of KZ2,,,you made your point when you said they have no faith in the game,,no one repsonded you and now you came back for 1 more round of KZ2 bashing,,,,why do you insist on bashing KZ2?stop trolling.

Cuz if he didn't, he would have nothing else to do. He might be right, he has a strong track record of being right.

 

  • GTA 4 will be better on the 360 then the PS3
  • Bioshock will never come to the PS3
  • I will write an article "why you should want a PS3" within a month (that was a lot more then a month ago)

 

His predictions are never wrong. So we can take comfort in knowing Starcraft has spoken, and so the truth has been reviled.

According to game rankings, the Xbox 360 version of GTAIV IS better, even though it has had more reviews to bring it down, and despite the fact that it hasn't got DLC yet, which you will recall I stipulated was a requirement for it's being superior.

You are correct in your assertion that I didn't believe Bioshock would come to the PS3. Turns out it will, 18 months after I played it on the Xbox 360.

As for the article, I got banned the day it was agreed I'd post it remember?

 

 Stopped reading right there, are we talking about the same gamerankings that magically took some reviews away from Zelda OOT? Also aggregate reviews are garbage, unless you really trust huge and reliable sites such as Lawrence, Console Game World, Action Trip, Gametrailers (yeah I went there), etc...

Wha? Bioshock was released on the 21st of August in the US and 24th for PAL territories, the word has been that Bioshock for the PS3 is slated for Fall of 08... I'm not sure where you pulled 18 months from?

 Out of his ass

They can't have that much faith in the game.


Yea, that's why Nintendo pushed back SSBB. They didn't have much faith in the game. (that's sarcasm, just so you know)

They pushed it back because KZ2 has great potential. It is very unique in it's game play (a level can last an hour), and due to the work going into the visuals, of all the PS3 exclusives, it probably would get the most benefit from the delay.

And with the game you said would never come to the PS3 hitting this holiday season, it's a wise move ;)

 

First up, do you really believe, other than going on the word of the developer in the interview (the same that said KZ1 would be awesome) that this game will have a "level" that takes an hour to complete. That's nonsense, perhaps a string of levels under the banner of a "chapter", but forcing the player to sit there for at least an hour is insane and will not be taken well by gamers (they may play for hours, but they want the option to opt out whenever).

Also, what part of this game is unique:

Cover system: Yep they combined what Gears perfected and what CoD's been doing for years (leaning behind walls/cover) by doing a cover system that locks you onto a piece of cover while still being in First person. HIGHLY original.

Grey post-apocalyptic world: Not even going to touch that one.

First person: Being able to fire from the hip AND down the scope. WOAH that's never been done before!

Generic Sci-fi story: Holy crap two warring factions! and you get to play as JUST ONE PERSON in this game!?! oh wait, Masterchief was one person? (and even then Halo's story was taken from multiple places)

Enemies: I've only seen two types thus far, bland generic grunt soldiers and big daddy imitations with machine guns (and alot less cooler). If there are actually any more, it only goes to show how bland and predictable these soldiers are.

Please people, graphics doesn't equal good game, so stop looking at the video's of KZ2 and labelling this as a AAA title. If you were actually paying attention to the video's, you'd notice that the enemy AI is so stupid that they don't even react to being shot at, also highly original in games.

 

KZ2 was delayed because:

1) Needed more time to develop to fix up things critcised in previews

2) They don't want to compete against Gears 2 and Resistance 2.

The difference is, CoD4 did it amazingly, wheras there is just as great chance KZ2 will do it poorly as there is it will do it well. 


 No, the difference is CoD4 was on your love machine, and KZ2 is only on the PS3.

If KZ2 was exclusive to the 360, you would be whacking off to every screenshot you could find. Every 360 exclusive you love, and every PS3 exclusive you take issue with.

Hell, even MGS4, a game you can't find a reason to bash, you bash it's market.

Why don't you just stick to the 360 forums, and let people who actually care about the PS3 talk about it.

This weeding though your negative bullshit every time I want to discuss something about the PS3 is getting fucking old. 



Ahh, another thread where everyone states that KZ will be utter crap based on... mostly nothing, really. I think I should start counting them and start a thread where we can really have a go and see who can complain the most about unreleased games!

Well we have nothing to prove the opposite either...

Well until I play a game, all I ever have to go on is what other people say. Most of them who has sat in front of KZ2 and played it, have left with a positive experience.

As for the AI, yea, it sucks. They are in the process of outsourcing a developer to work in the AI (probably a contributing reason why it's delayed).

As for a unique game, let's not kid ourselves. When FPS's are what we are talking about, eye-candy is what's important. Your fooling yourself if you think visuals are secondary in this genre.

Graphics is what has driven FPS's from day one. There has been very little new in the genre for 15 years. The first UT is basically the same experience as Halo 3. You run around and shoot people. It's hard to advance a basic concept. Bioshock has been praised as one of the best ever at it, and at its core, it's no different then doom. It just looks a hell of a lot better.

KZ tries with very long levels (that I assume you can save at any point), stunning visuals, a ton of environment effects going on in the background, no hud, mission objectives through NPC interaction, and incorporating every "fun" element from other FPS's.

Weather it makes it good or not, that combination is unique.
