The PS3 is a power house, but don't worry BABOONS you monkeys still have the power shack...AHAHAHHAHHA

Resistance didn't do so good against Gears now did it! :D

Shaka2K65921d ago

Resistance,cod4 (best on PS3) and UT3 destroy any shooter on the x360 ever.

And now we got Haze,Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 for 2008,
the xbug 3rd60 cant even compete againts PS3 on what the are best at playing shooters lmao.

'Another exciting shooter that Sony was able to pick up timed exclusivity for,'

They don't even know that its a full exclusive?

Fat Bastard5921d ago

Dude, it is too a full exclusive. There was a rumor that it would go to 360 but when the devs announced one of the delays, they also said that it would be a complete PS3 exclusive.

InMyOpinion5921d ago

How can they show anything when 3 out of the 5 FPS's mentioned in the article aren't even released yet? The games do look good but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

cain1415921d ago

They may not be out yet, but one can reasonably predict that sequels will sell at least around the same as the predecessor.

It still is a good showing of games that are coming. I still haven't purchased my PS3, but these games make me want to even more.

TheExecutive5921d ago

i agree, we shouldnt get ahead of ourselves but I can almost guarantee (with as much certainty as I have ever had about a sequel) that R2 will kick some major a$$. I could be totally wrong, but I highly doubt it.

Killzone 2 isnt just a game for sony; its an experiment. They really do have A TON of resources pouring into this game. Insomniac and many other studios have been noted as pitching in effort for this game. It seems as though they are really trying to figure out what their hardware can and cannot do. So, from Sony's perspective, if Killzone2 flops they will still get quite a bit out of it. I will bet anyone that many tools that are being used in Killzone2 will be distributed among the various 1st party studios of Sony.

From a gamers perspective, if Killzone2 flops I am gonna be really pissed.

On to Haze. This game is either going to make it or it isnt. Its either going to be a 'good' game (as in NOT great) or its going to be an average fps with a different twist. My vote is on the latter. Its going to be another Turok (but look much better).

Honeal2g5921d ago

i think they need to make a fps controller.... a controller designed for fps cause the analog sticks arent design for that. are there any 3rd person controllers that? never thought about it

jackdoe5921d ago (Edited 5921d ago )

@Executive
Many of the techniques generated by Guerilla for KZ2 have already reared their heads in PS3 development. Uncharted had great self-shadowing, a product of Guerilla R&D. KZ2 will at least be a technical showcase for what the PS3 can do. As for Haze, I have virtually no anticipation for the game. None of the showings have impressed me. You are right about Resistance 2 though. It will kick major ass. KZ2 is a big unknown. The original KZ and Shellshock Nam were not exactly gems. KZ Liberation was pretty good so there is hope for KZ2 yet.
@Honeal2g: I have no issues with the PS3 controller and FPSs. I managed to play CoD 4 on the PS3 and 360 without having to adjust to either controller. It just plays that well on both pads.

TheExecutive5921d ago

@Jack

I didnt know that Uncharted had some of GG R&D. Thats good news and even strengthens my point about it being more than just a game.

As for the pad... I would like them to switch the D-pad with the left analog stick. I think that would be a definite step in the right direction.

jackdoe5921d ago

@Executive: Forgot to mention. The 360 pad does work on the PS3. The PS3 recognizes it as a controller for some games. The joys of having a USB controller port.

gonzopia5921d ago

@Honeal2g
I like the PS3 controller much better than the 360 controller for one major reason - the symmetry. I find the offset analog sticks more difficult to use (in FPS games).

dragunrising5921d ago

Kontrolfreek is making a fps add on for 360 controllers. ( http://www.kontrolfreek.com... Perhaps they will make a peripheral for PS3 controllers as well. I think there was something about kontrolfreek in news a couple of days ago... :-p

HeartlesskizZ5921d ago

If you think the PS3 sixaxis is not for FPS at all then why not jump in for a game in COD4 so I can prove you wrong....

BloodySinner5921d ago

Why don't you disable the aim assist and say that again?

sonarus5921d ago

honestly speakin the ps3 controller is fine. The difference between the two controllers in an fps is simply too small granted the 360 controller may be tighter but playing against someone who is accustomed to the ps3 controller if you believe you can beat him because you have a 360 controller as advantage you are simply fooling yourself. The bottom line is ps3 has great shooters and maybe it would play better on 360 controller, however the greatness of the game easily overshadows the minimal advantage the 360 controller has

If Halo hadn't become so ridiculously successful, it's possible that the industry wouldn't have started exploring the genre as much as it has. I guess Halo is good for something ;)

RecSpec5921d ago

Then again if Medal of Honor hadn't been so successful we wouldn't be swimming in WWII titles either.

rofldings5921d ago

Halo? There have been "ridiculously successful" FPSs before Halo, and most were A LOT better.

Relin5921d ago

Yeah, I'm certainly not saying that everything in the FPS genre is great, but Halo was one of the first console FPSs to prove how viable the genre is for non-PC gamers. I've never really been enamored of the series, but it's hard to deny the vast impact it's made on the course of the industry.

Relin5921d ago

Sure, some shooters have been popular, but Halo's popularity extends well beyond any others. Why is that, when its not that good of a game? I dunno, I've never bought a Halo game and probably never will, but it's a reality the industry is dealing with.

beavis4play5921d ago

DOOM showed the industry how much popularity the FPS has- not halo.

Kleptic5921d ago

It seems everyone is missing the point with halo...

Halo was one of the first extremely successful console first person shooters...While Goldeneye was also a huge commercial success, it had control qualities that counldn't be easily replicated...

the Halo 'epiphany' is what started all of what console shooters play like now...and it also did little things to make it work...like the change in pace, the not 'switching' to a grenade to throw it, the melee attacks...Halo started a trend that made devs realize that the console market has tons of room for shooters...the basic control scheme is easily shared across both consoles right now, but the pacing can be all over the place...play UT3 w/ a controller compared to Halo 3...its like night and day in terms of speed...but they both work fine...

if Halo was the first fps you ever played...you probably hold it very closely at the top of your favorite game lists...but it is very true that the franchise would have most likely been washed away had it been a PC only game...while I am glad some of the stuff stuck in the genre, I definitely feel the franchise is entirely overrated...

Skizelli5920d ago (Edited 5920d ago )

Halo's one of those games that kept its mechanics simple: guns, grenades and melee. And by doing so, it made for some fun gameplay. A lot of FPS incorporate those latter two mechanics into their games, but how many totally rely on them, let alone make it work? In Halo, grenades and melee are just as important and effective as guns. I always say that if you weren't around during Halo 1, enjoying the game with a group of friends over linked Xbox's before the days of Halo via Xbox Live, then you just won't understand Halo. It's that simple. Halo has never tried to be the "best" in terms of innovative gameplay, but Bungie did a great job at keeping the multiplayer fun, which is what games should be all about. Why bother hating on a game that you don't find fun? Others obviously do, hence its success. If anything, you should be happy that there are such games. I'm sure everyone has their own "Halo" of sorts.

Why MW 2019 is still the best looking Call of Duty to date

MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.

MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.

That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.

I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro50d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7250d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_50d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga50d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2350d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200050d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin50d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole50d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix50d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198950d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198950d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
