Awesome. I buy. I wonder if there's anything like in the old Ratchet games where weapons passed into the sequels?

Hmm, maybe my detailed 'Ask PS Fanboy' question has already been technically answered...

The Demo for Braid plays alright, theres some 'wow' moments in unexpected gameplay such as jumping down a hole, stomping on a enemy stealing its key and reversing time to get back up with the key! Its crazy, but reminds me of the Dizzy games more than Mario, but the price is a bit steep for the relatively small game it is even for a indie dev.

Also, Uncharted is amazing, not just the graphics, but its a solid non-stop rollercoaster of a game with some of the best characters and narrative I have ever witnessed with a controller. Its like the best bits of God of War+Gears of War+Assassins Creed+Jak2+Tomb Raider. It just looks great, because its made by a great developer.

I welcome any game with good rep on my main platform of choice with open arms but get a bit miffed when Its already available on another at a cheaper price and been out for a good while; unless it happens to be a port of 'Earth Defence Force 2017'. But saying that, I did invest in BOTH consoles, but PS3 being my favorite because of the vast library of franchises and world renowned developers SCE own, also trust in the brand.

One word, A plural.
KIDS.

KIDS wanting next gen console, parents buying next gen console for next gen game that's creative and will keep all the family happy and have security that there's no violence as they let the kids play it and possibly join in for fun.
The visuals are like a cult kids TV show like Bagpuss, Paddington Bear, Magic Roundabout; The soundtrack sounds similar to 'Jet Set Radio', Stephen Fry (narrator on Kipper the Dog and other kids TV shows) is narrating parts of the game; no doubt the game will be a killer app.
This coupled with the Platinum R&C= a system that has genres and games all the family can play whilst using as a media hub.
PS3 units will be shifted if the advertising campaign is clear enough to the public.

I remember when you could play a game like this on the Rollcage games.

Are you called Stacey? Or isn't that your name...

But does it play a little bit like Serious Sam? That's what I'm asking, we need some frantic 'shoot don't think' FPSs on the system.

Cool. Can't wait to see this in action, how can I see about acquiring this then?
Year of the PS3 indeed, still needs Jak though.

Ah, yeah. True on that point, but I'm afraid I don't care for RPGs and can't really understand why people associate the PS brand with RPGs.

The Playstation was more suited for racing games, action/adventure, shoot 'em ups, party games and the introduction of new game genres, I never once saw it as a RPG machine; at least not in the UK anyway.
Exactly, RPGs are elsewhere, but there is currently a distinct lack of quality 3D/2.5D action/platform games on any current console, (except Ratchet and Clank on PS3) so I'd ideally like to see more of the action/adventure games re-released on PSN so I can play them on my PSP on the go or just at home on the PS3 until new titles and IP's are possibly made on the PS3.

You could say LBP would sort out that lack, but as cool as the game will be, it won't give me my fix from games with art design, soundtrack and story like Croc, Crash Bandicoot, Medievil (2), Wild 9, MDK, Jak...which genre has a distinct lack of games on ANY platform this gen.

This is a classic...what do you mean?
I'd like all the platform games, puzzle games and party games released from PSones era, but seriously, there really is enough RPG's in the world at the moment, if not too many.
This is a good start! I wonder if this has anything to do with Threespeech's vote recently?
