Key of Solomon sounds interesting and to some extent that Green Knight thing but I'm having a hard time imagining what he looks like though I know all green but how do they make it look nice.
A Ninja game and a Zombie Game sweet I always wanted to see Sony with it's own exclusive retail Zombie and Ninja exclusive assuming these are retail of course. I mean 360 has L4D2 and Ninja Blade even though the latter was mediocre it was still an exclusive Ninja game, the Wii has Tenchu for their Ninja game and one of my favorite Survival Horror games Fatal Frame.
And after reading Michelle Franklin's page the Ninja Game and the Green Knight will be RPG's :).
I think in FFVIII they had something called Solomon's ring which was needed to summon the GF Doomtrain not sure really it's been ages since I played FF8
Could any of these be disc based? It seems like one studio doing 4 games is excessive, unless they are small PSN titles, but the synopsis seems like full retail games.. Intresting to say the least..What studios are in Montreal? Ubi, Starbreeze?
@Beast_Master - You rarely see RPGs on PSN, so they'll probably be disc based. Regarding the devs in Montreal, there are quite a lot, DC Studios, Eidos, Ubisoft, EA, A2M and a lot of other smaller studios as well.
I dont know what to say. But is that all? PLEASE, ps2 had 6000 games why should I get excited about 4 more games? xbox360 and wii have hundreds more games. Why should I get excited about 4 new games? Let me know some details see a video tell me it is a turn based rpg with summon spells. But four new games, ohy ohy owe owe!
I wonder if it will be using the five parts that are within 'The lesser Key of solomon.' I would get some ideas about how the game may turn out, but after seeing what a developer could do with Dante's Inferno I feel like I would be way off...
Hell yeah! just keep them exclusives coming Sony and i won't have a reason to buy "downgraded" third party junk ever again (with the exception of the Fifa franchise). I have slowly moved to exclusives for i believe they push my ps3 to it's limits.
Modern Warefare 2 Street fighter IV Assasins Creed Fight Night Borderlands Rage Fallout Fear 2 Dead Space Mirrors Edge ... There are too many to mention
Bucky-it doesn't make him a fanboy when you consider that most of us are on a budget, does it? You could easily get a game a month exclusive to PS3 and not have the cash to splurge on the third party titles AND you might get a few of those when you can/on the other platforms. Fact is there's going to be a shedload of games from now til the end of April2010 as far as I can tell.
Most of the games you mention are already out in any case and as you say there are too many to mention. I can barely afford the games I think are essential let alone those I just like the look of-and if, like me, you play on multiple platforms the choice over the nest eight months is astounding. I think a lot of folk are going to be trading and renting far more than in the past and electing new ways of deciding what to buy for keeps. Maybe you prefer to know your console is being pushed as hard as possible(and in the PS3's case you'd still have a great variety of games to play)OR you want those games you feel will give you the most playtime.
Certaonly, I've rented ODST and NGS2 this month when I'd usually have been preordered and paid up! It isn't even busy yet! Next up iy's R&C, U2, and Demon's souls exclusively for PS3 and BL as a multi-I can't buy them all! I'm starting to thank both T10 and Activision for acting in ways which makes it hard for me to justify getting their games!
Anyway, many people buy their PS3 because of the strong first and second party games that you don't get to play elsewhere-the same as you might choose a 360 because you like the pad/your mates game on one etc. Just because you prioritise one over the other doesn't make you a fanboy if you have both time and money restraints lie the vast majority of us do. I doubt, even with money and time little object you'd manage to play EVERYTHING you fancied these days in any case.
It's hard but I can dig any of the options people might take-when there's only so many hours in the day and pounds in our pockets. Plus,if you only have a PS3 I can see it as fair enough to feel you're getting your moneys worth from the purchase-and, imo, the exclusives would generally be the best place to begin even if there are amazing games all over the place right now.
If you are on a budget, sure, you can buy whatever you want but this isn't the case with Dutch or the point he was trying to make.
"You could easily get a game a month exclusive to PS3" Thats not true. How many exclusives have Sony released in 2 years? More than 24? I think not. Let's say they have, will each of those games be better than all multiplats? Highly unlikely.
Let's not kid ourselves. Sony has a couple of very good exclusives but not nearly enough to give up all multiplats, that's just silly.
By the end of this year Sony will have released 6 to 8 exclusives. That is more than enough for most gamers. Not everyone buys more than 1 game a month.
Besides what's it to you if he is happy with just exclusive?
My policy is that usually buy the exclusives I like first, then I allocate a budget for the top tier multiplats. if I don't have enough cash then I drop the multiplats until they get cheaper later.
If it comes down to me having to choose between a ps3 exclusive and a very popular multiplat game I'd go for the exclusive. It's no secret that exclusives tend to be better. Especially ps3 exclusives. Out of the 18 games I have for my ps3 only 4 are multiplat.
I own couple of those multi (that are already out of course) you've mentioned and play some that I don't at friends house, none of those title really impresses me after seeing the difference between ps3 in house games against a third party. I buy exclusives only, I still have fun with with the first uncharted more than any multi-platform games I have :batman AA or GTA4. And since sony is bringing in house game at least one a month I have no time for multi-platforms. anyway all that is to say I've given up on multi-platforms this gen,sure there will be exceptions(tekken 6 I'm a fan of the series and brutal legend) but most of those will only be rent or borrow.
Please oh please, if Sony make a 1st party Tenchu rip off I will be so happy. Tenchu is the only real ninja game. Ninjas dont run and gun, they're Stealth Assassins. The premise is solid, the production values just never got there.
If will finally be a Tenchu game done to AAA standards, Uncarted quality animation and Killzone quality lighting, not to mention huge levels, completely open, not linear, seamless interior to exterior of course, and much improved AI.
I miss playing Tenchu myself but it says it's going to be a JRPG or as in Ms. Franklin's page an RPG for Japan so something tells me it won't be stealth oriented.
a true next-gen tenchu game would be like assasin creed but darker ( at night ) it would be nice but they need ( sony ) a VERY good game designer for this game to not be a flop ...
Except have undoubtedly the best game lineup of the current gen, the superior version of 90% of multiplatform games, exclusive DLC on the biggest titles, by far the best online service, the best software sales, and Netflix.
"best game lineup" - Ehhh... "superior multiplats" - They're not so superior when the human eye can't tell the difference. "exclusive DLC" - Because that's so much better than exclusive games that come out of that exclusive DLC, huh? *Agent* "best software sales" - That may be true. But some publishers say that they make a better, if not an equal revenue with the PS3 than the 360. "best online service" - It's great, but not worth the money. All it has is party chat and cross game invites over the PSN. "Netflix" - ...lol
@Pirateogta - wow your just reaching for anything with that load of crap bs. Must be hard on you when all you get is halo spin offs, or a overpriced 5 hour long DLC. lol at least you have a heater.
360 It only does:Inferior 640p exclusives.... over priced P2P online....XBOX is not even a brand even mentioning in the like of Sony nor Nintendo....EVERYTHING!
Keep giving us exclusives Sony, keep giving us the superior gaming experience.
Im glad they actually put some brains into their work, not like M$ wich only do a single-side campaing without a new graphic engine of a two years old game, and then stick it trough your a$$ full price as if the motherfvckers made something really amazing, i mean, for god's sake, they did not gave ANYTHING worth of $59, and still there were 2 million of stupid mogoloids who paid full price for that DLC.
Completely uncalled for? Yeah, it is. But I'm bored, so I thought I would throw that in there. But, I need to do something about not getting banned. This should work:
I recently got a PS3 slim. The only exclusive I own is Resistance 2 which is an awesome game btw. I'm about to get Uncharted and Killzone 2. As awesome as resistance 2 is, I just feel that it's not enough to abandon multiplats. I had just as much fun if not more with COD 4, RE5, Red Alert 3, ect. And the graphics of Resistance 2 is on par what I've seen in most multiplatform games.
Because there are good PS3 exlcusives doesn't mean that multiplatform games are bad. Calling mutliplat games "downgraded junk" is just silly imo. At the end of the day, you're only shooting yourself in the foot. Sales of these "third party junk" is funding Sony's console so you guys should think this through
and Key of Solomon... mmmh cool
i need more INFO, but Key of Salomon the name alone is Epic^^
BTW the Key of salomon was needed in Final Fantsay VIII, if i remember right lol
I wonder if it will be using the five parts that are within 'The lesser Key of solomon.' I would get some ideas about how the game may turn out, but after seeing what a developer could do with Dante's Inferno I feel like I would be way off...
Wow sounds intriguing.
Key of Solomon sounds like a good disc release whereas Sir Gawain and the Green Knight sounds like a good PSN releas.
Hopefully the Zombie survival is a good and scary title... and Ninja RPG... just sounds too awesome to keep an eye on.
Sound Great
Hell yeah! just keep them exclusives coming Sony and i won't have a reason to buy "downgraded" third party junk ever again (with the exception of the Fifa franchise). I have slowly moved to exclusives for i believe they push my ps3 to it's limits.
