Stop trying to make sense, the fanboys will kill you for it. the DS is king, and we all know it, but tis nice to see a competitor in the handheld area. There are some really good games for the system, but hater hate, that's what they do.

Maybe the trolls are the people that mention Halo 3 on every PS3 article. Let's get more info on the game before we jump to conclusions.

New games this week: Madden '08 edition

Aug 13th 2007 9:49AM (Joystiq)
Funny how the same people that are hating on Madden, or any other sports game for that matter, are waiting to buy Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3. This will be the 3rd Call of Duty in 3 years. Just like Madden. And how many Ghost Recons have there been already? Shooter fans are no different than sports fans. If you disagree, then peep the MS holiday lineup. Madden 08, GTA4(late), Halo 3, COD4, NBA2K8, NBALive08, and Bioshock and Mass Effect. Only 2 games mentioned are not a sequel or in the series. Not saying Madden is always good, but don't hate on those of us who like sports games.

Rockstar to develop brand new franchise exclusively for PlayStation 3

Jul 28th 2007 10:52AM (Joystiq)
Why does ever PS3 thread turn into this? If you have no interest in the PS3 or its games, then don't post on its threads. Yes, everyone has a right to their opinions, but by now we all know where you stand on the PS3/360. This was about Sony getting a new IP from Rockstar. As for Rockstar, they know they can't be a one trick pony forever, so it only makes sense to try to create a new franchise. I cannot judge it cause I have no idea what the game is. None of us do. But to bash it or to elevate it at this point is stupid. My opinion is that new IP is always a good thing. Halo was new IP on the Xbox, and it set the bar for that console and console shooters. God of War set the bar for the hack and slash, along with Ninja Gaiden. Will this new IP set the bar, I don't know.

Today's good things in small packages video: LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

@ aylera: You make an excellent point about retail sales,I do believe it would do this game good to be both a download as well as a retail purchase. And do not discount word of mouth and advertising. I really think Sony knows its got a potentially huge hit on its hands, and will push it really hard. And since the word of mouth on this is overwhelmingly positive, it will snowball. This is the Youtube generation, and I'm sure that the levels that will be made will be mindblowing.

Personally, I think this game loks amazing. We need more stuff like this, and I really think it will sell millions. How many times have he read the statement "this will make me buy a PS3". When see peole say that this can't get them to spend 500, well, what would? For some, it takes many games to get them to purchase a system. For others its one game. Its true that established franchises sell systems, but all franchises were new at some point. How many copies did the 1st Halo sell? Every game has a starting point, and Little Big Planet looks hot. My wife saw it and wanted to play it. The gaming press that has touched it/seen it is loving it. And with all the people that are creative here, the number of user made content will be staggering. I understand that there is a lot of Sony hate, some warranted, some not, but a great game is a great game, regardless of platform. and despite what you think, Sony systems tend to have a broad variety of games, that's why they sell well. Yes, 500 is high, but something tells me the Ps3will be 399 by the time LBP ships next year.

SCEE says no more 60GB PlayStation 3 in US after July [Update]

Jul 13th 2007 10:12AM (Joystiq)
Read between the lines fellas. Sony has a mass of 60gb stock with the non rumble sixaxis that they have to clear out. Sell it for 499, stop making it, then just go to one sku, the 80 gb one with the new rumble controller for 499.99. If he came out and said all that, then no one would buy the current 60gb version with a rumble-less controller. But, the 80gb version will not have the EE in it, so you have a choice to make. The 80 when it comes out will be 499.99.

The Political Game: Winners & losers in Manhunt 2 meltdown

Jun 22nd 2007 12:40PM (Joystiq)
People need to stop hiding behind choice here. I am not for censorship, but damn, are there limits to anything anymore? I appluad the decision, and hope that Rockstar learns something from it. as a new parent, my views on things has changed a little bit. Reminds me of the time a job I worked at fired my friend because he was racist. He hated white people. Now, some would say that its the public choice to eat there anyway even if he was working, but the owner did not want that crap in his/her establishment, and so he canned him. The point is, yes, the public needs to have a right to choose what they buy, but some crap just shouldn't be made in the 1st place. What happened to standards? It's obvious Rockstar made the game so over the top violent, cause look, everyone's talking about it.

Sony San Diego making three simple solid PSN titles

Jun 21st 2007 1:29PM (Joystiq)
The fact is, there are different titles that attract gamers to a system, be it the AAA games, or the not so big games. Wii sports made many people want the Wii, and although the 250 price did not hurt, the game itself is what got their attention. For many, that one game is Halo, for others it may be the variety of low cost original games on the PSN. I have friends that are Guitar Hero junlies that bought a system just for that one game, 90 bucks and all. i for one am all for the downloadablr games as long as the price is okay. The hardware cost is high, but at 60 bucks for a reg game, the initial investment of hardware is nothing compared to what you pay by the time you buy 4-5 games.
