I wonder if all the gore will get it banned in Australia? Dark Sector being banned was a joke....Conan was worse.

MURKERR5830d ago (Edited 5830d ago )

wana see who would win out of that and mgs4!

ukilnme5830d ago

The Sony "Faithful" are doing the comparisons. It's not like every 360 owner will buy NG2 or that every PS3 owner is going to buy MGS4. 360 fans that want NG2 will buy it just like PS3 fans that want MGS4 will buy it regardless of the release date.

sticky doja5830d ago

And I doubt I will buy MGS4 but will probably get NG2. MGS4 will probably be great but if it is like the previous 3 then I can probably rent it once and beat it. Now if I rent it and MGS online is really fun then it might be a purchase for me.

zslash5830d ago

How did this get approved? Should be noted that NG II hits US on June 3, EUROPE gets it June 6.

Itachi5830d ago

your comment is stupid

if its like the other three well it is called metal gear solid 4

keep trying to big up NG2 XBOT

Timesplitter145830d ago (Edited 5830d ago )

I hope you're joking... Do you seriously WONDER which one will win?
MGS4 is like... the finest game to ever come out in history, and NG2 is a good action game. Action games like Devil May Cry and NG are dying, or at least losing popularity very fast due to their linearity.

Just look at what happened yesterday. In Canada, the 4000 PS3 + MGS4 bundles were sold out in 3 minutes. And there's a console in there. Imagine how the game alone will sell.

sticky doja5830d ago

I know the game will be great, because I loved the previous 3. But the previous 3 were also short and didn't have much replay to me, I did buy MGS2 on launch day but did not buy the other 2, rented and beat them all (other than the GC exclusives). I never played any of them past the first time I beat them although they were very fun games indeed and MGS4 looks to be the best one yet.

You can call me a bot all you want but I have all 3 consoles. Add me to your friends list if you dont believe me, my PSN ID is the exact same as my name on here, and my Xbox live gamertag.

Are 360 games region free? If yes then you can always import.

gaminoz5830d ago

No, only some 360 games are region free, unlike PS3. It depends on the publisher. For example all EA games are region locked while most Ubisoft games are region free...

Zhuk5830d ago

God of War III hasnt got a chance against NG2

Bathyj5830d ago

You're kidding aren't ya. I like Ninja Gaiden (even thou Tenchu is the only real Ninja game) but God of War 1 is better than NG.

BTW did they ever get this game up to 1080p @ 60fps like they did on PS3. I dont know and I was just wondering.

tweaker5830d ago

Are you serious? It's more like the opposite.

Ace Ventura5830d ago

I think he's joking. No one even cares about this game.

And God of War III will smash it into pieces. No really. It will.

The Dark Knight5830d ago (Edited 5830d ago )

how this guy has more bubbles than me is beyond me i love ninja gaiden but

God of war 3 will rip off ryus head and use it to turn things to stone:)

Bathyj5830d ago

Thats the scary thing Ace. Hes not joking, he actually believes it. He's like one of these terrorist who thinks god is on his side and he will get 72 virgins when he dies.

Why would you want 72 virgins anyway? Any bloke would trade them for 2 or 3 girls that know what they're doing.

TheMART5830d ago

@ Bathyj

Zhuk is fun, if you can't see that in all his comments you need to lighten up.

Plus what's up with all the silly comments always from Sony fans about a game like NG2, "well I know which game I'll buy 6 days later".

WHO FREAKING CARES???

Two totally different games, its a 360 game, and NG2 might be the better game. I feel sorry for all you PS3 fanboys that need to hype MGS4 so much.

BTW: I have a Dutch game magazine here, with a big preview of the game, because the reporter was invited by Konami in Japan. He played to the complete game in a few days. This is what Hideo Kojima had to say about the game itself: "About the graphics and the scale of the maps I am not so pleased. I wanted bigger maps and more possibilities, destructive gameplay so to say. Three years ago when we showed the trailer at the TGS, we had lots of ideas, but when we started developing the game, we hit many walls/barriers, partly also because of the limitations of the Cell CPU." and "We have made progress, but instead of the ten steps we wanted to make, we just made three...". That doesn't sound too promissing to me there!

I'll be enjoying NG2 this summer. Only reason to maybe look to get a PS3 is Little Big Planet if you ask me this year. Resistance 2 will be cut in two by a chainsaw in November.

Phil Harrison Mklll5830d ago

Ninja Gaiden game was boring this will be to

callahan095830d ago

You are the biggest joke I've ever seen.

I've looked through your comment history. You might as well be a Microsoft employee if you're not already.

How you continually manage to get agrees and how you still have the standard number of bubbles is a testament to how pathetic the internet is, filled with cajoling fanboys of all kinds at all directions. You are the king of all trolls. Where there's a Playstation mentioned, you're right there to talk up your precious Xbox 360 and denounce all things Sony.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5830d ago

God of War is a Ninja Gaiden clone with a fixed camera, I know I have all of these games.

callahan095830d ago

No, not really. God of War has a different style to its puzzles, it has a totally different visual flair, as you say it has a much better camera, it's much more fast paced and cinematic, it has even more action, and it has a much different theme & story.

The games aren't exactly the most different in the world, but they're not even close to "clones" of each other, either.

Alpha_Gamer5830d ago

"it's much more fast paced and cinematic" You have obviously NEVER played ninja gaiden for XBOX. I own god of war 1 and 2, and ninja gaiden. I can say for a fact that:
Ninja Gaiden combat>>>>>> >>>>>>>> ;>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>God of war combat. Sorry.
however, god of war still has a good story, learning curve, and a better fun factor (due to the level of difficulty of NG).
"hevenly sword with more blood.".....*shakes head*
Learn to compare games without being a fanboy.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5830d ago

I know many PS3 fans in another gaming forum I go to, that say when they play NGS the combat alone is light years ahead of DMC or God of War. Now I know I'm an Xbox fan, but I own a PS2 and I have played every GOW, DMC and NGB. NG is the only one of those where you can actualy make combos, and the combo's in just 2 if NG's weapons, equal to that of all the weapons in GOW or DMC. My brother and I used to play this so much, we would take a God of War break every other day. We played it so much we had eyeball flashes of NG when we tried to sleep. Now the story of GOW is by far much more detailed and entertaining, and the wall climbing sequences are fun, and GOW2 atleast had counter moves. DMC 3 is far better than DMC4, W?TF would they let us play Dante in the 2nd half of the game?

callahan095830d ago

Look, it's my opinion that God of War games are more fun than Ninja Gaiden games. I prefer the cinematic qualities in God of War 2 vastly over Ninja Gaiden, admittedly it's been a while since I've played the first God of War, so I guess what I'm talking about is more of a comparison of Ninja Gaiden to God or War 2, but my point still stands that I think the pacing and puzzle-solving, action, combat abilities, story, and cinematic qualities of the God of War universe are more impressive and fun to me than playing through Ninja Gaiden.

But what the real issue is, here, is that this dude shouldn't have even brought up God of War 3. What's the point in it? First of all, you're comparing a 2008 game to a 2009 game, that's on a different platform. He's just a troll that likes to do this all the time. 99% of his comments incorporate an attack on the PS3, and for what? Just to be a troll, that's all.

Kleptic5830d ago

jason...god of war is NG clone?...

you fecking kids are unbelievable...both are action platformers you tard kart...and both were not the first in the genre...if anything most of these types of games are MGS clones, or Crash bandicoot clones, or Mario 64 clones...those were some of the first 3d action games...(MGS1 being the first fixed camera with first person view options, etc.)...

God of War started the mini-game boss battle crap...it didn't 'clone' itself from any action games any more than any others...NG was a great game made by an insanely annoying and arrogant ashole, whom before just made perverted fighting games w/ bizarre sports spin-offs, yet still is under the impression that he is as awesome as Kojima...whatever...

both will be totally different, yet great...leave it at that...

JasonPC360PS3Wii5830d ago

MGS? that has guns, these have swords. God Damn your f**king stupid Kleptic, how does MGS fall in this category? It's a stealth action game. Go suck a Sony d!ck dude, make sure you take the other one out of your mouth first. What next, you going to compare the Barbi game to Half Life?

Tmac5830d ago

Again, Jason 360 demonstrating his stupidity for the world to laugh at.

sleepbox5830d ago

Wanna know the difference between GoW and NG series? NG requires skill to play, not just pretty button mashes to impress typical idiotic hollow PS owners.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5830d ago

"again" Tmac is on a stalking spree, freaking psycho. What you going to say "look he is chasing my comments down" when all I did was look at my own comments? I don't even comment under you or, single you out accept for this here, you always mention me by name. You just you live for following me around like a lonely droid shadow. Watch, I bet Tmacs comments will be calling me paranoid, or it's me stalking him. F**ker is so psychotic he doesn't even know he is doing it.

i aint bying a 360 for this game....im waiting till gears of war 2 comes out before i get a 360, but till then its all about MGS4 in june =D

Sayai jin5830d ago

You know there are several othe AAA games on the 360 and thus a reasons to buy one. One being Gears 1. You want to go head and get your skills up before the second one. Man, TBH every nigt I play online it is super evertime becuase of the game and the group of people I play with. Back on topic, Wow, I will be getting this on the 6th and MGS4 a few das later.

Sayai jin5830d ago

Wow, this site has been spiraling down for some time. I made an unbiased comment about the 360 and get diagree. I could have added the PS3 has AAA titles too( which it does, but I did not since this a 360 article. Why are people diagreeing with me, becuase they read one positive line about a console they do not like, in this case the 360. I have a message for ya, Stop hating and start gaming.

7h3ultim8p005830d ago

You didn't just get a disagree. You got 8 lol. Apparently you are not entitled to a mind that contradicts the Sony fanboy's reality.

Bathyj5830d ago

Do you think June is a ploy to dampen MGS4 sales or just a coincidence?

Anyway, I know which one I'm getting.

gaminoz5830d ago

That's a good point...It could be. I think there has been a lot more hype about MGS4 but now that might change...

predator5830d ago

both games will sell amazing as they are both on different consoles, like me who has both consoles i will buy both on release i expect most people to do the same really

shine13965830d ago

I reckon this might sell a bit...I really don't know why it hasn't been hyped up more....I have a nagging feeling that GTA sales are going to pick up in the run up to MGS4, and this will end up being the number 3 selling title behind gta4. at least beat mario kart...

edit: Just realised that I'd seen this being sold with an official bundle. That might push it a bit...

thewhoopimen5830d ago

I don't think its just hype for MGS4... there is more game content than NG2 u know...

ukilnme5830d ago (Edited 5830d ago )

What's your point? I know which one I'm getting in June too. I see the Sony "Faithful" just can't stop with the trolling of 360 news.

Edit: Oh yeah right, the release date is just another MS conspiracy. Give me a break.

DarkOcelet2996d ago

I almost got the Lost Planet 2 one, but that get no One in the Leaderboards was effed up.

Many of those trophies are just time consuming, if we are going to talk some seriously hard platinum trophies, put MGS4 in there.

I will never forget the day i got that Big Boss Emblem.

Complete the game in less than 5 hours
Use no continues
Use no health items
Kill no enemies
No alert phases
No special items
Complete the game on The Boss Extreme

One of my proudest trophies :)

skcej2995d ago

yeah the Lost Planet 2 one was pretty ridiculous with the amount of time you had to put in but when I researched the list I found a lot of people saying that the Nom de Guerres were really annoying/ quite tricky to get. I did think about putting MGS 4, maybe it should have got an honorable mention. Impressive trophy to have though dude! :)

kotaku772995d ago (Edited 2995d ago )

Yeah! specially when you got to play over and over MGS4, when you could be playing, idk, MGS3 or any other game

FallenAngel19842996d ago

I'm only one Trophy away from getting the Platinum in MGS4, but unfortunately it has to be that damn Songs of the Battlefield one that requires me to get all the emblems. It's such an eyesore to be so close only to be set up against such a daunting task

Are AAA Games Too Easy?

From Software thinks differently

bacrec13299d ago (Edited 3299d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773299d ago (Edited 3299d ago )

So do I. Unfortunately, it doesn't sell so it doesn't get made. At least it doesn't sell 5-10 million like Assassin's Creed, And all the others. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've ever played, and it ruins other games b/c it expects better of you. It wants you to play it for awhile, instead of moving on to the next big thing a week later.

It's goal is to consume you, and not just your time, but your patience and your will, and it promises, unlike other games, to reward you for that time w/ actual satisfaction.

breakpad3299d ago

eeh ?? have you heard bloodborne or Souls games ? ..no if the develeopers dont seek wide casual acceptance (aka all kids must play the game) no ... are not easy

bouzebbal3299d ago (Edited 3299d ago )

i think western games are getting much easier than ever.
japanese are the only ones who dose difficulty. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Souls, Bloodborne raise the level.

johndoe112113299d ago

Why? That makes no bloody sense. Most games have varying levels of difficulty, if you are someone who likes to be constantly punished and frustrated while playing a game simply start off playing the game on it's hardest difficulty. Why the hell should they make all games with only one level of frustrating difficulty, to pander to a select few who have nothing better to do than spend 10 hours trying to pass one level?

This argument makes no sense and since bloodborne released people act like they've forgotten about difficulty settings. People saying all games should be difficult and punishing are selfish and inconsiderate and don't give a damn about anyone else's time or preferences. if gamers want to spend over a month trying to finish every game then they should not complain when only 5 or 6 games get released every year. It's a senseless foolish expectation.

rawrock3299d ago

From Soft makes Souls games hard the wrong way. Slow clunky controls and questionable mechanics and design. Anybody can make a game where you die a lot. It takes more talent to make a game with a good difficulty balance and smooth gameplay. I have not played Bloodborne but at least it looks to be step up in gameplay over the Souls games.

3299d ago
freshslicepizza3299d ago

from software became a aaa developer based on expanding its fanbase who often felt neglected to play games where if you die you suffer for it. the first demons souls game was not marketed as a aaa game, it grew from word of mouth and they managed to fill an area that was being ignored.

lots of aaa games are made easy and that makes sense since they want the barriers of people to play them to be as wide as possible. the more accessible the more will play is what they are thinking because aaa games cost a hell of a lot more money to make now than they did 30 years ago.

AngelicIceDiamond3299d ago

The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.

joab7773299d ago

It's because they know that you won't be playing long. Only certain games get played over a period of time longer than 2 weeks. They just want your money, and want you to finish it. And they know that if you get the Souls reputation, you are screwed.

700p3299d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3299d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3299d ago

I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.

KryptoniteTail3299d ago

Too hard, actually. Well, not "hard" but complicated, with long boring tutorials, and unbalanced sections and they try your patience with collectathons, bulls*** missions and try to make up for it with half hearted multiplayey and/or bitchy trophies.

I prefer more indies these days. AAA can still be the best around but most are boring rehashes and DLC fests.
