Well the game took iirc 2 full years to complete. They did work on KZ: Liberation between that. Don't forget that they became a kind of R&D sector to Sony's First and Second parties. Yes they had time to experiment, but most of it was building one of the most solid engines available (don't deny it fanboys it's true, though CryEngine 2 is obviously superior.) It's like the God of War Guys (Sony Santa Monica). They've spent the last 4 or so years working on the GOWIII engine while producing GOWII.

That and GG have been thanked in many Sony games (Uncharted and Resistance 2 have a shout out, and I think LBP does as well) for tech help.

They could be right, it may be easier to develop if you are focused and know what you want to do, BUT you need to be able to adapt to using SPU's for everything rather than the main PPU. The SPU's are more powerful than I think some people imagine.

Not surprising, but maybe this is Sony's attempt at cutting into DSi sales? I know they are not competing platforms but still, the PSTwo is still a cashcow for Sony. (I'm also amazed at how friggin small they made it, and the newest one has an internal powersupply to boot)..

Kinda surprised we haven't actually seen proof of a PS3 drop, but I'm assuming Sony wants every last PS3 sale if they're dropping the price, though apparently Sony collected stocklists for all PS3 sku's, (meaning they need to know how much cash they are going to credit very soon) so that might be a hint.

What the hell did I just watch?

Only thing remotely important about this was 11-10-09.

So apparently one of the Sony Santa Monica guys said that parts of the game are so violent and gory they can't legally place unedited footage of it in the internet. The trailer from last month as edited. DO WANT

Anyway, if they can get the game running at 1080P and 60fps then huge props to them. Santa Monica Studios and Naughty Dog are some of the best coders in the industry IMO.

If they can get this and Uncharted 2 out for the Christmas season, then (along with a price drop we know is coming) Sony should have a nice Christmas themselves.

I doubt they would've said that there would be a price drop, bad business.

Going by the internal sony memo leaked a couple months ago that turned out to be almost entirely true.

The only thing we haven't seen come true is the price drop and this would be a good time and sku to drop the price on, (especially bundling with two of the PS3's better games)

I disagree. Get them to play the original games and then get them to buy the sequels. They'll make more money off the sequels than selling the Greatest Hits games.

Also, Resistance 1>>>>>>>>Resistance 2.

The worst thing out of all this? People will still pay for the raised price even though there is a cheaper, and in my opinion, better option in the 360 Arcade and even Pro.

And while the capitalist side of me sees why they are doing this, common sense comes in and says Nintendo is being greedy. I mean seriously, with all the money they've made and continue to make on the Wii, there really is no need for this. They are a large, billion dollar corporation, making people looking for something to do (since entertainment items tend to do better in bad economic climate) that is relatively inexpensive and can last a long time pay MORE is wrong on many levels.

Do complicated calculus problems.

Has everything you need to know about the badge ones. There are other 'perk' ones, like not getting negative points in 8 games, getting 10% of body count kills, getting 10 sniper kills in a round 8 times. Those unlock more ammo, more grenades, and 5x zoom respectively. Getting 10 headshots, 10 melee kills, getting 10 pistol kills (all X8 times) unlock more points, and the pistol one unlocks the magnum I think, which is a 2 hit pistol. And finally mission ones that once maxed out give you more points for every time you successfully carry out a mission.

Oh and to know where you stand, go to statistics in game or go to: http://killzone.com/kz/performance_medalsribbons.psml?kz_user_id=(your id)
and insert your id where it says your id and it will give you all the stats you've compiled since playing.

Hope that helps.

"they do one hell of a good job distracting them. Making it simple for you and your teammates to kill 'em off. Not joking. It sounds like it'd be easy to just ignore 'em, but once they hit you once, it's pretty hard to."

If that's the case, then they shouldn't have made it a ribbon to get 5 air support kills a round X 8 because it's beyond retarded.
