the first stuntman game was impossible to finish.

That's why I sold the game back then because it was too darn difficult. According to the developer Stuntman Ignition is more user friendly. I hope the PS3 version will release, it looks like an interesting game.

Stuntman: Ignition actually looks really good, and it'll suck if it gets delayed for the PS3.

They can't afford for so many "medium" range third party games to get delayed at this point.

@ legend

Yup...Bod got me right.
The PS1 had a FLOOD of crap.
But a FLOOD also is good because every single inch of space you take up, means one less slot for the competition.
The PS2 had a FLOOD of crap.

The N64... had a game every three months... one good one bad one good one bad. It was seriously collecting dust because there was only a handful of games to play at certain times.

The Wii...
I think I'll pass on Meet the Robinson's and Happy Feet.
But I still believe there have been some very good titles released thus far, moreso then its predecessors. KGB is right on the account that Nintendo cannot solely rely on 1st Party games any longer.
The crap coming out that is "Ninjabread man" and others will surely stink up the joint, but I bet if we took a poll right now and asked, how many BAD games would you say there are for the PS2?

Right after that ask everyone, who won the last generation?

I'm not saying its right, I'm saying it works.



Predictions For Last Full Week of Sales in 2010)

And the "Dreamcast Effect" begins.

I'm willing to bet that this won't be the first cancellation we hear about for the PS3 in the next few months.

wat? http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=Wii®1=All&cons2=PS3®2=All&cons3=DC®3=All&align=1


Well nice try, leo, but the problem in your link is that Vgcharts seems to only have Japan data for Dreamcast so this shows worlwide wii and ps3 sales vs only japan dreamcast sales...

gitanil on 13 August 2007

I don't understand why they are canceling PS3 games. I mean the cost of simply porting from 360 will no doubt be recovered by whatever sales it gets.



Consoles I Own: NES, SNES, N64, GC, GBA, DS, X360, Wii

WiteoutKing on 13 August 2007

But that's the big question, gitanil. Will it recover the cost? The install base on the PS3 is only 4 million strong, making up the development costs by tweaking the game code to work with the PS3 (it's more than a traditional port job) requires a large percentage of the install base to jump on. Developers are nervous (and rightly so) about taking the risk on a system that is selling hardware poorly, and software even worse.

It just rumors concerning "bad" games, dont worry
If GTA4 is cancelled on PS3
THEN
you will have to worry.

(It is still sad to see report/delay/cancellation, I hope it will spread on all PS3 games ...)

Time to Work !

Dodece on 13 August 2007

Sony might not want to admit it, but their console is at a critical juncture right now. The next four months will determine the fate of the PS3 console. They have to hit a certain level of sales. Not just in all markets combined, but each market distinctly.

Every title delayed, and every title cancelled is a loss of sales for Sony. When titles get packed together you lose the overall trend. Having one game each week stimulates sales better then three empty weeks, and one week with four games in it.

I am not liking the trend. Both Microsoft and Sony have seen some slips however those go unseen on the 360 for the most part. While on the PS3 they instantly get noticed. Even if they are rumors the fact that many see them as plausible is not a good thing. This is like a self fulfilling expectation, and it only reinforces the perception.
