Out of the 4, GTA4 looks the most cack in my opinion ¬_¬ I just couldn't get my head around how boring it looked. Chances are I'll get it anyway, so I might as well stop moaning about it.

Ads on top of ads? It's all too weird, I mean don't you get ad revenue for running the video clips which are in essence ads? Putting pop up ads over these video ads is a bit much, especially when the parent page also has so many ads.

I'm definitely getting all 4, but if anything, that Brutal Legend trailer got me even more excited than I already was. I cannot wait.

Totally called squad-based gameplay for Lost and the Damned.

Props to Rockstar for using Sepultura's music in their video.

No idea what the bitching is about... I thought it looked fantastic. Mind you, I watched it at 1080p on my PS3, not in this little browser window.
Which reminds me... I wonder if it really does run at 1080p, like they hinted it would in 2007? They might have faked it for the trailer, but it's possible. That would be crazy.

That's what I'm thinking. I don't think they normally put game trailers up at higher than their gameplay resolution.

GoW3 was a bit of a letdown. Uncharted 2 looks great. The writing for Uncharted looks as good as ever. Perhaps that comes from Amy Hennig.
It's still tough to tell what is gameplay most of these videos.

I gotta agree with Vegeta. I saw God of War III, and thought it was Nintendo Wii. *Snickers*

I think Kratos looks pretty good. I mean, compared to his previous outings he looks great, but the ringing endorsement that Jaffe gave the collective internets doesn't really match up so far. But who knows, less games have improved twice over graphically as time goes on till their release from the first showing. Besides, if it plays great, it doesn't matter how weak it looks, the PSP version proved that.

But the PSP version actually looked better than the PS2 ones.

For the hundredth time. What Jaffe saw was NOT the same as what was shown in the video at the VGAs.
What Sony showed was based on what THEY had released to the press. Not what Jaffe had seen. He went out on his own to say that the visuals are awesome something he probably shouldn't have because he blew the surprise. If you had never heard what the man said then you'd hardly be disappointed in the video, You'd simply say "hey, it looks good, I hope it gets better." but the thing is because of what Jaffe said you all got your hopes up and the video that sony showed didn't live up to the HYPE that YOU set up in your own minds.
On the other hand because of what he said you should understand for a fact that it's going to look better by the time it's on the shelves. Why would sony show an only "okay" trailer for the game? because "Okay" was all you were supposed to suspect until they were ready to unleash the final version. Look at how much Killzone 2 has advanced, don't you think another first party title will benefit from that kind of development research?

GOW 3 Oh my god...Wall runs? Yes Please...Cerberus Gloves? Yes Please...Though the graphics weren't as great as I wanted them to be...Still that game looks good and it shows what Sony Santa Monica actually did with the PS2....So I expect it to look great but not like what they did with the PS2......And Uncharted is gonna be awesome...

Yeah God of War III does not impress me at all.
Serious sony fanboys you're grasping at straws here.

Lord don't act like you expected it to impress you in the first place, recently you've been moaning a lot about sony fanboys, but there is this screaming aura around you telling everyone you're just as annoying as those fanboys, every time I see you comment on something, its about what you're not impressed by. What exactly impresses you is the question I have in mind, cos the last thing you wrote about virtual bowling being sad just blew common sense out of the window. If you have any credibility left, explain to us what impresses you, what do you expect from ANY game for that matter?

U still there Maverick?
If you are hypocrite go look at the liveblog article (if it can be called that) that Justin did during the VGAs.
To make it short I was expecting something amazing that would knock the socks off me and make me even remotely jealous of ps3 owners.
But that didn't happen.
And frankly I don't buy this bullshit that sony sheep like noshino are trying to sell that this is an "early build". Early build my ass. That's Jaffe trying to save face. This is probably what he saw and probably him trying his hardest to hype up the game.
As of now I'm on the fence regarding the game. Since this is the last one I can just as easily watch the cutscenes on Youtube to find out what happens to go to a board on the web dedicated to it get a detailed plot explanation.
At this point I see no reason to get a ps3 save for Final Fantasy XIII Versus.

The only one full of bullshit is you. Nobody cares that you don't like PS3, that's not the issue here, no matter how incredible the game was you wouldn't get one, fullstop, stop trying to convince yourself you're unbiased, you're a fanboy, end of, anyone who likes one console and hates on another is a fanboy, that doesn't mean a person who buys one console because they prefer it is a fanboy, but it's obvious you are a fanboy, there isn't a single PS3 game you like. So when you come in every single PS3 article and rant on about how it doesn't impress you, what the hell does? Why even make that statement unless you're looking for attention, I give you some attention by slamming your retarded comment and you attack me back like as if you weren't expecting it. Lol
Heck, you're doing it again, off you go to the uncharted article and say it doesn't impress you. You're a clown. I can't take you seriously.

God of War III is going to be the exclusive that truly establishes the PS3.
All the other previous games won't even count.

Its rare when I watch a trailer with no gameplay in it and want to play it.. but that uncharted trailer makes me want to know how he got in that situation or what happens next.

Damn! that was some old-school Sepultura on that GTA IV: LatD video. I might have to buy the 360 version of GTA 4, although I already have it on PS3. Not just for that song, but this DLC looks like it will kick some ass.
