this is very cool if it is true.

Silverwolf6328d ago

I'm really looking forward to this game.

MissAubrey6328d ago

but yeah Im not looking forward to this game at all. Im looking forward to that Naughty Dog game.

OC_MurphysLaw6328d ago

Ok, does anyone else find it a little odd that there has been zero hype around this game of late? I mean Motorstorm is set to release soon too and its been getting mad,crazy hype from Sony and the press. This game however really hasn't had the same kind of push. Maybe its just me....but it really does seem like this game has been kinda pushed to the back of the line by Sony. You would think if it really was that great of a game they would be pushing this one just as hard as Motorstorm to show how they have a number of impressive/great games just around the corner.

Sony can't afford to let sleeper hits come along right now....any good game needs to be hyped by them right?

OC_MurphysLaw6328d ago

Nope...they don't have 10 million consoles sold. Do they need to boost the PS3 sales already? YUP! Do most analysts agree that more games will help? YUP!

So why again aren't they trying to get this game out into the public eye and hype it up?

DJ6328d ago

Motorstorm had a lot to prove, while Heavenly Sword was impressing journalists from day one. It's barely mid-January, so there's still a lot of time. There is such a thing as advertising too early.

And didn't we hear that this title was coming out a bit later than March 6th?

OC_MurphysLaw6328d ago

I understand what you are saying. And from an individual publishers view yes you correct. Having another game overshadow yours is not ideal.

However, from Sony's vantage having multiple great games comging out on top of one another is very beneficial for the PS3.

Sony needs and wants their game library to fill out as fast as possible with quality based on the mediocre overall perception of launch games (RFOM being the exception). Not too mention they need great games in multiple genre's. If MS and HS were both racing games then I would say you have a point but they aren't. There is no reason why they couldn't/can't promote both at the same time.

Hey DJ : "Because having multiple games overshadow each other is not a good thing". Yeah sure, its like Warner bros not putting any tv ads for their next blockbuster because they don't want that Paramount movie to get a awful box-office.

All game publishers want to make money. Give it time, you'll get the hype like any other big budget.

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-ro66d ago

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

darthv7266d 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_66d ago

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

Profchaos65d ago (Edited 65d 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

seanpitt2365d 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!

Iceball200066d ago

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

Father__Merrin66d ago

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

InUrFoxHole66d ago

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

Marcus Fenix66d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198966d ago

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

1Victor66d ago (Edited 66d 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 😱

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

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds569d ago (Edited 569d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno569d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya568d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020568d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds568d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya568d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman568d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran568d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
