PlayStation 3 to regain footing this year, Motorstorm 2 release, secret game in the works |
Ó
Sony's PlayStation 3 may have started off with not-so-good standing in the gaming industry, but the shiny black console looks like it's starting to regain its footing, and 2008 may very well become the Year of the PS3. This was according to BBC's Darren Waters in his blog, dot.life.Several major Sony PS3 titles are slated to be released soon, with the highly anticipated Unreal Tournament 3 recently released in the UK. Unreal Tournament 3 will no doubt be a big thing, judging by Epic Games vice president Mark Rein's enthusiastic remark: "We've surpassed what Halo 3 offered."
Epic Games' FPS isn't the only big thing in store for PlayStation 3 fans, of course. Motorstorm 2, which will be released in the upcoming holidays, will finally include four-player split-screen multiplayer mode. Resistance 2, another much-awaited title, will have online multiplayer gameplay that can accommodate as much as 60 players.
Waters was also shown a secret PS3 game currently in development during the GDC 2008 event. While he wasn't at liberty to reveal any pertinent information about this Sony PS3 title, his words indicated how big the game will be:
If the footage I was shown truly is "in game," as told to me by the Sony PR people, then we could be on the brink of a step change in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion.

I've been playing Unreal Tournament 3 for months now.
Also, MS2 has 4player splitscreen? Why couldn't we get even two SS in teh first?
This is nice news. I like read this a second ago on the gametailers forums though lol. Cant wait to find out what this game is, I'm just wondering what kind of game is it?
it was released 4 days ago down here and i just got yesterday. fast paced. textures and graphics more than i expected since it IS in a larger scale compared to GOW1
Rein had nothing to compare with Halo 3 since it is dated hence being similar to Halo2 PC where reviewers state it as dated. The only benchmark of Halo3 is its marketing and $ale$.
oh the agony of more games both a must buy-£0.00
Gears of war 1 and 2 for the ps3 anybody? :>
OR, a spin off of halo, Haelo 3? :>
I bet it's going to be whatever the Heavenly Sword Ninja Theory people are working on. Their website got updated with some strange thing which doesn't look like a sequel to Heavenly Sword. It looks like a new series possibly.
gears 1 and 2 for ps3? the story of gears was kinda lame the only good part of gears was the gameplay so its not gears 1 and 2, and ps3 doesnt need gears anyways we'll get better games.
halo 3 spinoff? no we don't need halo either halo didn't have that great of a story line it was pretty generic in my eyes...
its called a TOTALLY ORIGINAL GAME.. looks like sony has been working on something for awhile and i can't wait to see what it is
whats up with all the microsoft games Kev? Obviously its not one of those because the guy wouldnt be "speachless". We already saw how Gears of war 2 and 1 are like and halo (from what I'm hearing and what I see) really isnt that great.
Its a new game.
Thanks! ;)
Is it ok for me to keep hope alive for a Legend of Dragoon prequel on the PS3, since we never saw one on the PS2? ;x
hey, hey, i don't want to get the sexbox 360 fanboys riled up lol
k since mreverdred said someting about the new ninja theory website thing, maybe the new game will be: Heavenly God of the Sword of War, a game where boy meets girl :>
ps3 ftw, resistance 2 with 60 players will rape the next gears of war even though its 3rd person :>
but its gonna be hard to choose between r2 and kz 2 :(
Every time someone from a general news site/magazine/newspaper has the privilege of seeing a secret game few others have seen, it's suddenly the greatest thing ever.
I prefer to wait until we read the views of GAMING journalists who can give a more measured opinion, and better still, wait until the game is first shown before getting excited over it (since there are fantastic looking 'secret' games in developement for PS3 AND 360).
Still, this should prove to be a VERY strong year for the PS3. :)
GAMING journalists sucks, they are biased. The ones who can tell you how a game is is yourself. Rent the game and see if you like it. Thats why i hate reviewers, they don't know what the hell they are talking about.
I play games i don't read BS reviews. One gamers disappointment is another Gold mine.
We are talking about a game which is probably still a long way off, one which we haven't heard about or seen, and so how can I play it to decide about it?
And it's funny you say gaming journalists sucks and yet you're happy to quote them whenever it suits you Stealth! (recently you were mentioning 1UPs view about how DMC4 plays better on the PS3 compared to the 360!). So don't give me that arguement please.
If you take the views of a number of game journalists together (not just one), then this gives us a FAR better idea of what a game is like than some guy from the BBC/NBC/Sky News etc.
"If you take the views of a number of game journalists together (not just one), then this gives us a FAR better idea of what a game is like than some guy from the BBC/NBC/Sky News etc"
-> Correction: views of a number of gaming journalists, preferably from several websites, not just one. If you look at only one website, like GameSpot, then you are bound to think most PS3 exclusives are not that great. GS is, in my opinion , not completely impartial, but rather unfairly biased in MS's favour. Why this is, I don't know. It may be financial incentives, it may be something else entirely.
Reason: Gamespot is, in my opinion, way too critical of all PS3 games and way too lenient of all 360 games. One example - Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank and other reviews - they will nitpick at the slightest drawbacks and not just nitpick but will blow them up so that these drawbacks are used as a reason for lowering the overall game score, while for games for Mass Effect, which have drawbacks relating to loading times, etc., they will note that the game is superb "in spite" of this, and will overlook these drawbacks in rating games for the 360. That, to me, is clearly biased.
So I do agree with Stealth's opinion that SOME gaming journalists are biased. However, I agree with your opinion too - you just have to have a large enough cross-section of gaming reviews from a multitude of gaming websites, not just one.
' but its gonna be hard to choose between r2 and kz 2 :( '
eemm NO. I'll be buying both! I suggest you do the same amigo!
"-> Correction: views of a number of gaming journalists, preferably from several websites, not just one."
That's what I'm saying.
The point I'm making is that just like reviews, the more you read from many sources, the better the overall view you will have (that's what I always do). This applies both to previews and reviews. And since bias can never be eliminated totally, this approach helps to even out any bias, just like review scores on Gamerankings and Metacritic.
But just the same, for gaming, I would take the comments of a gaming journalist over someone from a general news organisation every time.
So for Stealth to make a generalisation that gaming journalists suck and they are biased is foolish and hypocritical, especially since Stealth often quotes comments from those same so-called 'biased' gaming journalists to support his views here on QJ.
i honestly cant wait for crysis to get ported to ps3. (if it does) there have been talks and rumours about it, but all i can do is wait.
as for the secret game. it could be the fps series thats supposed to rival (and surpass) halo. sony mentioned it a whiiiile back when ps3 first came out. and they werent talking about resistance.
IMO i think resistance sucked. and i love fps's. i love halo but not as much as the hype. i think call of duty 4 is the best still and will be for a while.
xbox is tearing itself apart even though it has a great games library, but wait til ps3's betters, i cant wait. there both going to be worthy. which is why i have both.
