Sony Talks The Last Guardian, Demon's Souls, And The Vita Launch

2011 was one of Sony's best year's in terms of first-party software releases. The company put many titles, such as LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3, Uncharted 3, and Infamous 2. Sony also released its newest handheld, the PlayStation Vita, in late December in Japan. The Vita's launch in North America and Europe later this month. Game Informer talked to the president of Sony's Worldwide studios Shuhei Yoshida about what the company learned from the Vita's Japanese launch and the mistakes they hope to correct this year.

[DA_SHREDDER]

The only reason Gears 3 sold so well is cause it's theoretically the game that started this gen. Gears 1 was a game 360 fanboys always threw in the face of PS owners. Funny thing about that game is was totally overrated, just like every game that sells well on the system. Not that other games don't sell well, but from my point of view, it just seems the lack of decent amount of quality games only gives 360 owners alot less choices, and they make the best judgement they can. Then on the other hand you have PS owners that get games like God of War, Twisted Metal, Motorstorm, Killzone, inFamous, LBP, ect ect.

Sony's portfolio is so huge and caters to so many different gamers that Sony spreads themselves out thin. All the money they could be spending on marketing on one game, they just make a new game. It's a brilliant idea, cause in the long run, it will be Playstation that has the most AAA exclusive content, and when gamers mature enough, they will grow up and see the grass really is greener on the other side.

[Ghost250]

wrong its dumb idea from a business standpoint cause sony cannibalizes themselves by releasing too many exclusives instead of marketing them thats why they dont sell like exclusives on the 360 does.

[jc48573]

sony doesn't like to rely too much on marketing. they like their customers to spread the word. Marketing is a double edge system because it can immediately turn some people off. It's just safe to build interest even if it's a slow process. I tried Gears and Halo, nothing special really, then I learned my lesson not to listen to the ads again. I want more options to be honest and there's gotta be a few exclusives out there that catches my eye. Gears or Halo is simply not my kind of thing. Marketing really works, but it comes at a price.

Sony's way of doing business is geared more towards longevity, while Microsoft is almost the complete opposite. Now, just imagine if Sony followed the same strategy, how will it affect the market and the gaming community? It ain't going to be pretty I tell ya.

@jc48573

"sony doesn't like to rely too much on marketing. they like their customers to spread the word"

Seems like it's not working :/

Marketing is what sells products, you think Apple took over the casuals by letting them "spread the word" hell no man, it's was their big-@ss ad campaigns and a made-up rivalry against Windows for marketing purposes (search Apple/Mac vs PC)

you have very few exceptions of successful word of mouth marketing, for example Demon Soul had a limited release in Asia, but people from the West started to import it because they really like it, I remember a tiny group in a forum really hyped for it and then it started to spread all over different forums and all that led to it's release in the West, but it only works once in a wild

IF Sony market well their games they'll see more sales, it's simple as that, last time they pushed a game hard, U3 was released a week before COD which is the biggest franchise this generation and that alone affect its sales, so next time they should consider when it's good for a game to be released as well

[darthv72]

Something doesnt quite fit with your first part. Seems to me I recall sony heavily getting into the marketing game when the PS first came out. Seems only right because they were new but they did it in such a way that even sega and nintendo couldnt slow down the momentum their marketing division had built up.

I can understand that is generally how you build up a following but unless you remain committed to ensuring the following doesnt wander then it can go either way.

They were strong in both the ps1 and 2 gens with constant publicity in commercials and tv and especially movies. That is in part to sony pictures being under the same umbrella as their gaming division. Self advertising and for free no less.

Either they got hit with a serious set of rules this gen by the powers that be (owners of the company) or they got too fat and happy and said their name was all they needed to make it a 3peat. Their marketing is nothing like it once was. I think they genuinely know it but unsure of what to do next. MS has been pulling that marketing rug right from under them as they try to stand up.

They need to do more than rely on the word of mouth and get their head in the game.

@shredder. Saying something is overrated is subjective. It shows opinion instead of fact.

For example. We can all agree that a basketball is round. We can not all agree that a game is good to play. One is factual one is subjective.

[jc48573]

@sikbeta

I understand what you mean and the Demon's Souls was just a missed opportunity for Sony, but in the end, Demon's Souls is catered more towards the hardcore. I really don't think it will sell more than COD, but yea, a bit of marketing from Sony might have driven more sales.

I agree with you on U3 as well that they picked the wrong time to release the game, but I actually have a different take on it. We all know CoD games sell like hot cakes, so it makes sense to make sure your game is not being released anywhere near the release date of CoD, but is that a good thing? No, there are times you want to compete because you want the customers to know that they have options.

Sony wants to provide "options," so they're not making all this exclusives for no reason. Well, sometimes they do.

[Silver_Faux]

So many new IP's Sony is looking at a long term plan. Just think about next gen, how many exclusives they will have.

[trouble_bubble]

@Ghost
LMAO! Yeah, and BestBuy cannibalizes itself by selling DVDs alongside BluRay, McDonalds cannibalizes itself by selling salads alongside Big Macs. Money is money.

What is it about the Borg-like collective of not having choice that's so appealing? About buying the same thing over and over again since 2001? Why is it so important that everyone on some peeps' friendslists buy these games day one? If you don't like Gears or Halo, are you out of the club, lol?

"- too many exclusives instead of marketing them thats why they dont sell like exclusives on the 360 does."

LOL! Nevermind that Deadly Premonition, Metro 2033, Alan Wake, Forza 4, Crackdown 2, Conker, Too Human, Infinite Undiscovery, NinetyNineNights, EarthDefenseForce, Perfect Dark Zero, Prey, Beautiful Katamari, Rumble Roses XX, Viva Pinata, Ace Combat 6 etc were all left on the vine to die. Keep chanting "360 exclusives sell more" while all those 360 exclusives continue to rot in bargain bins at the expense of Halo 4 monopolizing MS' entire budget.

[TheCopyNinja]

"Sell like exclusives on the 360 does" What exclusives?

[gaden_malak]

"Seems like it's not working"

Umm yes it is.

PS3 and 360 have around equal share in top 20/30 sold exclusives.

[CarlitoBrigante]

How many exclusives does 360 have? Outside Gaylo and Tears of War they dont have any exclusives, thats why 360 owners only have to choose between 2 or 3 games

[h311rais3r]

Uh how is gears over rated? It's the only game of its kind. No game plays like gears. The ONLY unique ps exclusive is lbp. The rest are comparable to every other game in its genre. Gears started this gen and each game has been better than the last. Ps3 exclusives are good but I dot know a single person who replays them other than metal gear solid 4. Me and my friends on weekends get a case o beer and try to beat horde as fast as we can IN SPLIT SCREEN. Im sorry ur an ignorant fanboy And can't have fun with anything but ur playstation. U want overrated? Uncharted. A great game on playstation which I have beaten over 8 times is mgs4. As for ur theory with when gamers grow up? How many ps3 exclusives actually sell well? On the playstation? Uncharted for one just barely passed 1 million. Get off ur non existent high horse and just accept 360 exclusives are great just like ps3 exclusives. Fanboys r a plague.

[BiggCMan]

No game plays like Gears of War? Wtf are you smoking? It's like any third person shooter out there, only with less color, and more blood and gore.

[Solid_Snake37]

And sterroids

[Ult iMate]

>>Fanboys r a plague.
And you are the perfect example of one, lol.

[creatchee]

Gears was overrated? Really?

Oh, because YOU say so, it's true.

And I'm tired of the exclusive argument too. Sony has more, and yes they're of decent to high quality, but there are more multiplats every year than exclusives. In general, people buy and play them more. So honestly, exclusives only matter to people who own one console and fanboys (which are not the same thing).

If you can, buy both. I did, and I don't have to hate on either camp, not that I would anyway.

[ZippyZapper]

Strange how you diss Gears when Uncharted is just a clone of Gears and Tomb Raider.

"and when gamers mature enough, they will grow up and see the grass really is greener on the other side." Pure desperation. Why don't you just go out on the street and beg people to buy a PS3?

[Solid_Snake37]

Oh thats why TR is doing so well nowadays isn't ?

[trouble_bubble]

"-when Uncharted is just a clone of Gears and Tomb Raider."

Omg. You can always tell when someone -just- started playing games in 2006.

Gears of War:
*post apocalyptic
*advanced weaponry
*alien underdweller mutant bads
*steroid marines talking to their ears
*no jump button
*can't climb/hang/swing
*no fistfight system
*reload QTE
*broken online in part 2
*in development at the -same time- as Uncharted.

Yeeeeeeeah. I can really see where the cloning took place. Katherine Marlowe really owes a lot to RAAM. I've often mistook Anya's floating head jack-bot in Gears 2 with Chloe in Uncharted 2 as well.

Meanwhile back on earth...

[undisputed]

You didn't play Uncharted so how can you sit there and call it a Tomb Raider clone? What's the matter, did the truth hurt so much?

[Jazz4108]

When this gen is over and SONY goes bankrupt I realy hope the ps3 fans get out of gaming as most of them have been the most biased and uninformed people I have ever seen. You can own both consoles and enjoy both without trashing the other as they both have there good points. And by the way the only God in my life is Jesus's father and he doesn't have anything to do with sony.

[CarlitoBrigante]

Lol Tears of War is a clone of Kill.Switch with a big FKin tank moving around, its highly overrated

[Psychonaughty]

"Funny thing about that game is was totally overrated, just like every game that sells well on the system" Seriously grow up fanboy.

[RedDead]

I have a Wii, and Ps3, a decent Pc and a 360. I made it a point that I got Gears 3 over almost every other game last year. Bar, Skyrim(a mistake) and dark souls. That was it, Gears, Skyrim and Dark souls above everything else.

Why? Because it's a great game. Gears 1 was also a great game. Damn N4g's populace is so shi*

[CarlitoBrigante]

Geow3 is overrated, Gears 1 was good but ever since then the series went down, shitty annoying characters and lame story.

Skyrim is overrated too, I put 100 hours into it, its good but not the best.

The best games of last year was LBP2, Yakuza 4, Portal 2, Uncharted 3 and Batman AC.

[undisputed]

Well said skyblue and shredder. I especially agree with you skyblue. Now, exclusives don't matter. Now it's about sales.

[SephirothX21]

Gears 1 wasn't overrated imo. It was an original fresh experience with great multiplayer and it came out in 2006. A lot of games copied Gears 1. If you have a PS3, you shouldn't be bothered about how little exclusives the 360 has. TBH, there are so many great multi games that exclusives are not really needed. I still haven't played BioShock 2, AC Brotherhood, AC Revelations, Dark Souls, Batman AA, Batman AC, Dead Space 1, Dead Space 2, The Orange Box, The Witcher, Dragon Age 2, Borderlands and loads more. If new games didn't come out for the next three years, I still wouldn't be stuck for something to play. I've both PS3 and 360 and a high end pc but with just one of them, I would never be in want of more games because there are far too many great games that I've yet to play. I suppose it depends how much time you have on your hands. However, the PS3 does offer you more variety because it has more exclusives and that's why its my favourite console. Well free online also. Though I don't think there is reason enough for a financially constrained gamer who has one console, to buy the other.

[DigitalRaptor]

"If you have a PS3, you shouldn't be bothered about how little exclusives the 360 has".

If you were on here back in 2007, you would know why people are. Back then it was exclusives that mattered and 'PS3 had no games'. Exclusives have always mattered. Now, it's sales and financial success that drives most of the 360 fanboy's arguments and you see them defending having less choice as gamers. MANY of the best games last gen weren't hugely successful. Is Microsoft's worrying focus subliminally leaking down to their consumers? Kinda looks like it!

I actually can't believe most of the points that come from 360 fanboys these days. They somehow can discredit the plethora of PS3 exclusives as being irrelevant for not selling well (even though the number of fans per game is respectable and relevant, even if not completely successful) and then continue to praise M$ for their direction in providing less core exclusives and their growing focus on what appears to be crappy, casual, on-rails based Kinect games that they probably don't or won't even play. Unless they have no choice, which is certainly possible. They defend a successful multi billion dollar company who, despite gaining billions per year on XBL subscriptions, refuse to expand their studios to make more IPs and diverse exclusive games for their user base. They refuse to respect their consumers by giving them basic choice in the way of playing games that they already own. Relying on 3rd pary business only gets you so far, and once the competition also has this support, which you can see is already happening, you have to have a LOT to differentiate your brand. Third party buyouts don't cut it!

[SephirothX21]

I agree that its better to have more variety but clearly sales indicate how much people care about a particular game and there is no escaping that fact. Sony are not in this business to make people happy. There in it to make money and therefore their games need to sell. I own both console but people who only own a 360 who have no interest in getting a PS3 clearly do not see PS3 exclusives as a good enough reason to spend the money. I think the reason for that is because there is enough multiplatform games for them to play on 360 that they don't need a PS3. My point is that what console is better doesn't matter in your opinion or mine doesn't matter, sales indicate what console the majority prefer and I use the word "indicate". Though if you have one console and are happy with it, why should you care about how bad a console that you don't have is? It's childish going around saying that your property is better than other people's.

[lelo2play]

Sony have great exclusives like God of War's, Uncharted's, Killzone's, Infamous, etc, but they also have a great amount of exclusives that are below average, which nobody gives a crap (beside fanatical fanboys).

In spite of all this, I'm of the opinion that the best games this generation are multiplatform games: Bioshock's, Mass Effect's, Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption, GTA's, Batman's, Portal's, Fallout's, Assassin's Creed's, Bayonetta, Dead Space's, Deus Ex, etc.

... and the games i'm expecting the most this year are mostly multilatform: Max Payne 3, GTA5, Bioshock, Mass Effect 3, Tomb Raider, Diablo 3, Metro, Borderlands 2, etc.

Multiplatform games are ruling this generation... witch is good for every console/PC owner.

[Kos-Mos]

The only reason gears sold well is because it`s a mediocre game made for teens or adults with teen-brains.
The majority is never right.
Amen

[Armyless]

"Sony owns the Demon’s Souls IP. What are you going to do with it?"

"We never sell our IPs. Well, I should never say never, but it’s not our business. Our business is to grow our IP and we love Demon’s Souls. FromSoftware is a very important business partner, so we’ll see."

Hey now!!!

[fluffydelusions]

Hm but didn't they sell Crash Bandicoot?

[ShAkKa]

It wasn't their IP, it was ND's.

[Silver_Faux]

Most interesting part of the article!

[zeddy]

i never knew sony owned the demons souls ip. i thought dark souls was the prequel.

[Fylus]

Yup Sony owns it. And Dark Souls is the Spiritual Successor. Not a... prequel? Or sequal. Whatever. Dark Souls has no relation to Demon's Souls besides combat, difficulty, and a few Easter eggs.

[-Alpha]

More Demon's Souls! Now that 360 fans got a taste of the Souls series, Sony would be smart to make Demon's Souls 2 for PS4 to have as a system seller.

It's by far one of the best new IPs this gen.

Not sure how I feel with an American heading Japan studios.

[BiggCMan]

FUCK YES!!! And you never answered me on PSN the other day D:

[Philaroni]

He might have been playing with his sister.

[BiggCMan]

One could reeeeeally get the wrong idea from that :O

[-Alpha]

Lol. My sister sucks at everything that isn't CoD, and now she has her own friends on PSN so she doesn't like split-screening. Otherwise I was playing Dark Souls multiplayer.

I'll check my inbox soon -_-

BTW, any of you getting Twisted Metal?

[2v1]

I CAN ONLY HOPE SOMBODY AT SONY READ YOUR COMMENT

[Moncole]

Isn't Dark Souls the sequeal to Demon Souls? Since its the Souls series. I think the next one will be called Dead Souls or somthing.

Off topic, anyone also seeing old articles poping up?

[BiggCMan]

Dark Souls is not a sequel in the typical sense of the word. It has nothing to do with Demon's Souls story wise, although 1 character does make a second appearance, it still has no ties to Demon's Souls. So a proper sequel is still possible, with a continuing story of some kind.

[SweatyFlorida]

Dark Souls is a spiritual successor, not a sequel. The game has nothing to do with DeS's story or have any of the characters or settings (mostly).

As for the "Dead Souls"...lol, don't believe every little rumor/speculation you hear. People have made plenty of "what the next souls game should be called" threads on countless websites. Some good ones were Dragon Souls, and my own creation: Sweaty Souls! xD

[Armyless]

LOL I'm from Florida too, and I'll also vote for "Sweaty Souls" LMAO!!

[GribbleGrunger]

the next Souls game is going to be a 360 exclusive and it's called: R Souls. you heard it here first

[BiggCMan]

HELL YES I'M GETTING TWISTED METAL!!! Reserved mine just yesterday actually, BIGGEST fan ever since it started nearly 20 years ago!!

[creatchee]

Twisted Metal is boss! The demo made me fall in love with it all over again. Can't wait until Tuesday!

[-Alpha]

I'll see you online then!

[RememberThe357]

About the Santa Monica guy heading the Japan studio: You can't really blame Yoshida. Japanese console development is stuck and it can't seem to move forward. Western development on the other hand seems to be constantly improving and changing. Japanese development needs a kick start and if no one there is going to do they need to find someone who will. That sounds like exactly what Yoshida did; bring in the guy who started Sony's most productive studio. That sounds like a great idea to me.

[sarshelyam]

One has nothing to do with the other...FROM Software created Demon's Souls, not SCEJ (they only own the IP and are its publisher in that region).

That said, what difference does it make WHO is running the studio. Frankly, American developers have a different way of running things that, arguably, has kept this industry afloat. If anything, this can rejuvenate an older way of developing games, a more traditional way that needed a little extra...something!

[n4gisatroll]

Actually SCEJ and FS made Demons Souls jointly. That's why Sony owns the IP.

[mayberry]

This really has cleared things up concerning team ICO'S status! Makes me feel better that we will "eventually" see LAST GUARDIAN! <quoted> " Ueda-san has never left the team. It’s a change of his work status from being an employee to working as a contract. We discussed and made it more clear about his role and his creative input and how he works, but he hasn’t change his presences, he comes to the office. It’s being talked about as he left the game, but that never happened."

[Philaroni]

You know, Demon Souls should have a PS Vita version made. From Software to my knowledge has never made a handheld game. A game like Demon Souls on the Vita would help not only push it in Japan, but the hardcore US and EU followers of the game would be very interested in playing it as well.

[Oldman100]

Demon Souls on the Vita would be killer!

[-Alpha]

That would be money. I always feel that the handhelds are great for Japanese games and the Souls series has gotten some great exposure.

[Knight_Cid]

you all dont know anything about japan

Ports and enhanced remakes rarely if ever sell more, and they never move units unless the name is mario or ff or dq or pokemon

so while its ok in kindergarten, in the real world that would never happen

[Philaroni]

I was not talking about Demon Souls it self of course, it would be a new game and a new experience. They could call it Shadow Souls or something. I'm sure they could make good use of the touch screen and even use the two cams for a boss fight that is in augmented reality. Or jerking the device to the left or right to roll quickly.

[SweatyFlorida]

I'd prefer they work on a Demon Souls Sequel for PS4 rather than porting every good game that the PS3 has to Vita.

I suppose a Demon's souls port would be nice down the line, but would rather have From Software work on a sequel, and have some other dev worry about the port. I'd just hope the handheld would be sufficient to deal with some of DeS's problems/difficulty. I fell off enough ledges on the PS3 version lol

[Philaroni]

Ya like I said above it would have to be a new game not a port. I did not word my first comment very well. Also Dark Souls needs to get PS Move support that would be sick.

[Half-Mafia]

The Vita is meant to be very easy for developers to port there PS3 games onto the Vita.

I would really like if alot of PS3 games also just had a Vita version.

I hope the Jak & Daxter HD collection comes to the Vita.

[sarshelyam]

FROM has done plenty of handheld games including many entries in their Armored Core franchise, a couple from their King's Field series, Tenchu and plenty of others

[Knight_Cid]

"Especially games made in Japan since the majority of them aren’t relevant to markets outside of Japan."

And most western games are generic piles of crap

BUT last gen when you cared about arc the lad and dark cloud

you were number 1 in the console market. Now your dead last

so what does that say?

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Give it a rest

[Knight_Cid]

I wont because hes being insulting.

[2v1]

It’s easy to say, “Yeah, let’s make three games a year.” But game development is dynamic. You cannot plan to do that. You already have to have a certain number of games in the pipeline hoping they hit in a certain year. We love working on new IPs. It’s really hard to predict when these games get finished.

this people love games too, no just money

[zero_cool]

Bring on the next souls game & give it remote play functionality functions between playstation 3 & playstation vita such as cross game save transferring & cross play!

Cheers Gamers & Happy Gaming!

[HellzAssassin]

The things I would do for a cross platform play between PSV and PS3...

[Rage_S90]

That was a good read. Yoshida seems like a cool and honest guy.

[Edward75]

Good read, and like many I thought was very honest. He makes great points about the awesome exclusive games from Sony, but he also tells about the mistake with demon souls, and Sony's biggest problem.... Slacking on the marketing. Great products, horrible marketing. For Sony to be better with Vita and in the future, pick up the marketing aspect guys! Xbox lives of of marketing and do it well. Many of the PS3 exclusives would do so much better if presented to people more, and if shown more often. Hopefully higher ups at Sony learn from their mistakes and can make profits along the line of Microsoft. That way the console war will even up a bit, and give us gamers more options, more top games, and companies can take bigger risks that could pay off for all gamers.

[gigreen]

So, basically there's a possibility for Demon's Souls II. That would be Awesome.

[Jason143]

I missed the hub layout in dark souls. Demons souls will always be my fav rpg ever. The first statue better be land of the giants if they make 2 :)

[gigreen]

I missed it at first but then the open world aspect grew on me. Even to the point that I wouldn't wanna abandon it in future souls titles.

Firelink Shrine is like a Nexus lite for me ;)

[HellzAssassin]

Agreed...
Actually, I'm ashamed to admit I hadn't completed Dark Souls... a bit disappointed in the game. >_<
Demon's Souls is still by far one of my top favourite PS3 games (next to NGS2)...

[-Gespenst-]

Shuhei Yoshida looks like a benevolent Kim Jong Il.

[Genecalypse]

The way they talk about The Last Guardian..sounds like itll come out in 2015 or something..i dont know..what the hell is going on with that game!?

[Half-Mafia]

I never knew Sony owned the Demon's Souls IP. He pretty much confirmed that there will be a Demon's Souls 2.

[josephayal]

PS3 Exclusives are the best , can't wait for my PS-VITA this month

[younglj01]

Why so many people want Demons Souls on the PS4.I would like too see it on my PS3.People Sony only just started really releasing tons of games a year.Look at how few games is really using the PS3 tech fully.Thats why I'm waiting on R* Agent.I'm looking too see 3rd Party support like the PS2 days.

Why so many people want this gen too end but I dont even know why.I would love too see an Bungie,DICE,Respawn Ent. or EA make some exclusive game before next gen starts.That way the can have more input into the next PS4.Think about ND,GG,MM,SM,Bungie,Dice,& SP all working with Sony.

Also they can start making Vita games and work with the remote feature.Then think about Sony and all those different developers working on an PS4 and Vita 2 bundle pack in the future.People this gen is far from over if more people start thinking outside the box.

And if you dont believe me try playing Starhawk.

[TopDudeMan]

A demon's souls 2 would be an awesome launch title if it hit PS4. It'd sell millions because of the fact it'd be a launch title exclusive and if they set up a bundle it'd do wonders for the franchise.

Also (while not really my genre) I have to say I wasn't all that impressed with the starhawk beta.

[younglj01]

At first i wasnt impress with Starhawk either.Until I deployed an jetpack then hopped into a razor.Rushed toward the enemy base jump out hit my jet pack land on the flag jupm back in the razor and won the game with a couple of seconds left.

All of that took place in 45 secs best 45 secs in gaming that I have had....

[Jason143]

Saw it coming when I saw no mh at launch.

[TopDudeMan]

I think sony's downfall in 2011 (IMO) is they released too many awesome games and most people could not afford to buy all of them at launch.

[phntom]

Since when the profits from exclusive games is important for us players? Seriously, it's totally useless to say that the 360's exclusives sell more than the PS3's.

What's important is the development of GOOD GAMES, and for that I am grateful to Sony, for delivering a bunch of great exclusives.

[izumo_lee]

I enjoy listening/reading what Shuhei Yoshida-san has to say cause he has honest answers. They know they messed up with the whole Demon's Souls publishing & he admitted to Sony's faults.

It is good to know the 'TRUTH' about Ueda-san that he is still a big part of the Last Guardian that Sony is committed to seeing his vision through no matter how long it will take.

One of the main reasons i have stayed with Sony for the past 15+ years is that they always deliver variety in all their titles. There is something for everyone to enjoy from little kids to hardcore guys like us. Sure sales is important but a lot of press releases from Sony especially Shuhei Yoshida-san they are more focused in delivering experiences. I love niche JRPGs & Sony are not afraid to release these games on their console & i thank them for that.

[SAE]

Gears 1 is amazing , it's fun to play , but the sequels are sucks to me , i dunno why i didn't enjoy them like gears 1 , it's not like i got bored of gears 1 , i still enjoy it , so im blaming the sequels not me , for the sales , let sony take care of them selfs , it's not like you get the money ...

no need to fight each other for stupid things , real gamers wouldn't say it's over rated or anything because he didn't enjoy it , they will just play as many games as possible because they love to try all the games they see , they like to experience different type of games , to enjoy not to fight for which is better and which is not , each game have it's own idea

just enjoy the games and let the fanboys fight each other and waste there times to prove stupid things :P ..

you like the game then good , you don't like it give your opinion and go to other games , just enjoy playing :)
