But thats not what the complaint was about, people were complaining that Sony is making too many FPS games when they have only made 3 and have a 4th on the way early next year. The PS3 needs another high quality FPS, cause the vast majority of those million 3rd party FPS games are terrible and cant even compare to the 3 that Sony released. |
Four out of how many first/second party titles? The fact is the FPS genre is currently the most represented genre by Sony's studios on the ps3, and when you factor in TPS games like Socom, the overall shooter genre is rather overpopulated, ESPECIALLY compared to other genres. What happened to the plethora of platformers Sony used to pump out? Ape Escape? Jak & Daxter? Sly Cooper? Where are the RPGs? We only have two decent ones this gen, and neither have come to the West yet, compared to three RPGs from Level 5 alone last gen, plus other gems like Wild Arms and the Legend of Legaia.
Sony wanted to compete with Microsoft on the shooter front this gen, and while I absolutely *love* Killzone 2 (Resistance not so much), I feel they ended up overcompensating in this area (though I suppose Resistance was more a decision on Insomniac's part than Sony's). They've sacrificed the diversity they enjoyed last gen for shooter after shooter after shooter.
And honestly, out of all their shooter offerings, the only really good one is Killzone 2, which stands out due to its slick style, badass enemy designs, and robust online. However, I hear MAG is virtually lag-less (my manager played it at the GameStop manager's conference), so maybe that'll prove successful too.
