@prem ass

All you need is a 60GB BC PS3 and upgrade the HDD to 160 GB. Unlike the 360 Sony allows its users to install readily availabe HDD.

At least we are getting a demo, so we can play it 1st hand.
This game had a lot of hype, and was being consider one of the top PS3 games this year. (joystiq alone wrote a lot of stories about it, even if 90% of those where delays news)
I will play it tommorrow and I am thinking of comparing it to Frontlines and see how it plays (I loved Frontlines for some odd reason).

I never understood the hype. I never saw a single preview that showed anything unique at all.

What hype? Negative hype? Everytime ANY news item about this game was posted here it was bashed endlessly.

In summary after reading the above comments:

This game is 'meh'.

really looking forward to dl'ing the demo and determining for myself how this game is....although it sounds like it's in my "rental" category rather than "purchase"....

Don't get me wrong, I love Ratchet and Clank, but do we really *need* any more of them? I mean, 5 console titles and 2 portables is an awful lot. I certainly wouldn't mind if Insomniac would take a break from the R&C series as well as Resistance and do something totally different. I have the feeling that if they don't keep pigeonholing themselves they could do something really mindblowing.

Between Haze, Resistance 2 and Killzone 2, as well as even MGS4, I'd say Sony is really 'shooting' themselves in the foot.

I dont think its unreasonable to say nobody in the history of ever has been a PlayStation fan based on the FPS genre. The genre barely existed on consoles in the PS1 and PS2 days.. it dominated PC gaming and by all rights still should.

You're not delivering the genres which made us fans and you continue to pile on garbage nobody wants.. and exclusively to the platform no less. Then when nobody buys it, it reflects poorly both on the platform and its enthusiasts.

FPS will continue to be enjoyed by online enthusiasts, but its pretty clear where online enthusiasts belong, and its NOT on PlayStation... Meanwhile real Sony fanboys are all sitting at home waiting for that first real reason we bought a PS3 to begin with to show up. A year and a half after the system launch and almost 3 years after its announcement, we still cant even see any gameplay.

I want Resistance 2 and MGS4 for sure. And I'm hopeful for KZ2. I think the biggest problem, as far as games go, is the distinct lack of RPGs. That's always been a strong point of the PS platform.

Gee wilikers, whats with all these automobile thingies around here. We had horses and buggies when I was a kid and everything was fine!

If FPS are selling as many units as they appear to be for all the consoles, then why should they not be allowed on the PS3? You may like them only on PC, but millions of people's wallets disagree.

I would say the PS3 is shooting itself in the foot if it doesn't allow a genre because it sells and some fanatics think that somehow hurts other genre games being made. (I play FPS on my PS3, just like I play some RPG's on my 360.)

Well said.
I don't like the PS3, and have a 360 (Low rank me, I dare you), but that comment was exactly waht made me go from PS2 to Xbox and then 360. I wanted GOOD FPSes, Half-Life 2, Call of Ctulhu and Doom3 especially. (No, my computer CANNOT play Doom, get over it.) And now the 360 has more games that I LIKE (I'm not trolling, I'm just stating my opinion). For ME the Xbox was a better system. The only game I kind of want is MGS4, but I thought that MGS3 was rubbish.
Hope it works out for you PS3ers.

you know i agree with you there. ive always been a Playstation fan and i never really played FPS's until PS3. and thats just to fill the void of the games im really waiting for. i mean i play RPG's, Platformers, Action/Adventure, and Simulation Drivers on Playstation, but never FPS's. and in saying that, im still waiting on Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Gran Turismo 5 (full game), Jak & Daxter, etc. those are why i bought my PS3 and the only games that are from those genres that ive played are Ratchet & Clank and Heavenly Sword (great games btw).

they need to get back to what made the previous Playstations honestly and stop trying to feed off of Microsoft and Nintendo's success, since Sony has been very successful in the past anyway.

Well, that's your opinion. Though most FPS's I own are on 360, I also like the ones I have on PS3. Resistance was pretty good, and I'm anxious to see R2 and even Killzone 2, depsite the fact that I didnt really enjoy the first KZ. I think that Playstation needs to broaden it's scope, and that way it can appeal to more instead of just it's core crowd. Though we need more Ratchet and Clanks and such for sure.

@BST

I do love those R&C games though. IMO, they're the best, and sadly one of the last, platformers around these days. And Resistance is the something different from them. What are you wanting them to do? Puzzles games? RPGs? What?

I agree. And when I say more ratchet and clank, I just mean more games to that level of excellence in that genre.

No reason why we can't have both.

WTF are you talking about? That is a bunch of BS. Resistance is an awesome game, it delivered in every sense as a FPS.

MGS4 is not an FPS and its been on the PS since the PS1 and i love the PS1 coz of that game, so i don't see why it is on your list.

Developers should be allowed to make any game they want. Sony is not the developer for all the games that come out for the PS3, not even for half or a third of them. Its probably was not sony the one that develop most of the games you love.. Your comment makes no sense. I dont see how this is sonys fault.

I like FPS and i like the PS3, why the h*ll shouldn't i be able to get them?

I agree w/ koehler83 on everything except for the Sony shooting themselves comment. I think Sony has been doing well so far this year. Yeah, HOME and KZ2 was delayed but I think its for the better. I mean, they have in store for this year. The 360 IS the premiere console for FPSs but I dont knock Sony for trying to compete. I'd have a Elite by now if it wasnt for the liability issue. Maybe NG2 will may make me "jump in". Bottom-line, Both systems are weak in certain game genres and I applaud BOTH companies for trying outside their comfort zone.

By the way, if you really own a PS3 and still dont have a reason why, then maybe you should do yourself a favor and sell it. I knew my reason even before I bought mine. $600 is/was hunk a change. If you have the $$$ to blow on something and keep it for no reason at all, then good job for you...

I played it. It isn't bad, per se....its just incredibly mediocre. The first RFOM kindof looked like an xbox1 game in HD....this just looks like an xbox1 game. Perfect dark's 2 jungle levels are easily better looking than the entirety of Haze's jungle.

Not to mention how horribly boring the weapons are.

Noshino and Fidlious

Where are you? Come defend you coveted Haze!

:O

Remember all that talk about FreeRadical and Timesplitters? Guess those videos I sent to Noshino of Halo3 looking better than Haze WERE indeed correct. Still gonna try to see first hand but according to mostly I dunno...*everyone* the game looks horrible.

Its official, fernando admitted all wii games suck

"I'm just saying what other PS3 fanboys are saying. The game runs at 576p, the voice acting is bad and the game is generic,"
So by this checklist, all wii games belong to the garbage bin
lets check out the wii games:
480p
non-existent or no voice acting in any games
generic 10-15 year old gameplay - Super marios smash, mario kart, same generic gameplay as with pervious tiltes. - again same gameplay. Same holds true for Zelda, Metroid and Super mario world - with some improvement in control due to the controller (which holds true for PS3 incidentally as you can use kbm) but otherwise ZERO change in gameplay.

Played the game. Started off good but thats about it. Its not too long, you go and find a dying pilot and its just not all that good. The graphics and the voicework sucked and the overall feel is just very blah. Oh well, I think it will still sell because it plays so similar to halo3, no joke.

No buy and no rent for me. On the bright side my kids like it. lol

I just noticed, the guy who voices Carpenter sounds awfully similar to the VA for Rohn in LAIR.

I would care at all if these was :
A) Coming for the Xbox 360
and even more if it:
B)Included the MasterC.

But still,if it was:
A)Coming for the Xbox 360
I would care,something atleast,and that "care" could grow if the game seems good,enough to buy it.
