Massive game by itself with 50 levels and boss fights too. Then there is the level creator, HUGE game!

So, why do so many SONY haters say that this game will fail, when the game is obviously way more than a level creator?

A lot of people are on the fence. Thus, the first itteration won't sell like a Resistance 2, but rather more like a Resistance 1. However, if the game is good, it could be the start of a great, Mario challenging franchise for Sony.

Didn't know it had a valid single player campaign. The thing to be careful with there is making sure you make that campaign magnificant. At least a few reviewers and a lot of gamers will focus on that campaign as a major part of the game, "Like what happened with SSE in Brawl" but even more pronounced, since it's not clear that the game is focused on multiplayer or breadth of content.

Reviewers will have to review this game as much based on potential and expectations as they will what comes in the retail package. Thus, it is almost assured the beneift of the doubt, and great ratings. Especially since a lot of reviewers would feel like hypocrits for giving the game a bad score after all their hype.

Reviewers need to be mindful of overhype, however. It could result in some dissapointed fans, as well as give the game a bad internet reputation, like Assassin's Creed. However, the fact that it is a Playstation exclusive means there is already more going for it than AC. Being a playstation exclusive, a large amount of the internet won't be able to play it, and most PS3 owners, like reviewers, have already decided to like this game, and like Halo 3, even if a game has glaring flaws, the fanbase is very hesitant to flame exclusives. Lost Odyssey, for instance, is probably the most "over-rated by users" game I've ever played.

However, with reviewers feeling obliged to give the game great scores not matter what, we no longer have an unbiased source to tell the truth about this game, if it's the best game ever, or a dissapointment, for the first time in a long time, each gamer will have to figure that out for themselves.

That, in and of itself, is something to be proud of.

Those are not restrictions. They are mistakes (or Konami being retarded, but that's another story...) M$'s restrictions on XBL content however, are far reaching and potentially stifiling to devs. I mean, WTH would you put a 150MB limit on XBLA games? SSHD is 300MB and that came out 13 months ago. Also, their restrictions on UGC shafted UT3 fans just recently. I don't think it will be their downfall, but it is defintely not a good thing.

PS3 will smash the X360 in console sales. My thread name also helps the downfall of X360. LoL

Classy.

Somewhat on topic: I wonder how may developers will jump on board to create levels. I'd like this game to take off for that very reason.
