OMG! LittleBigPlanet! That 2 is my most wanted game!

BTW: Anybody else feel like Sony trhemselves wrote speech for the Naughty Dog' s Uncharted presentation?

ORIGINAL: Bishonen

has had another name change, and is currently being referred to as Folklore on all the big sites....

The name was changed to Folks Soul: The Lost Folklore, but in the trailers it just says Folklore.

I wish they' d make up their minds.

Either way, it looks badass.

...actually, Folks Soul appears to be what the game will be titled in Japan...

By far the most surprising game at Sony' s San Diego press event this week was the RPG Folklore. Previously known as Monster Kingdom: Unknown Realm, and bizarrely titled Folks Soul in Japan (thank-freaking-goodness they changed the name for the U.S.), it' s a pleasant surprise from the folks who brought us Genji.

Either way, it looks badass.

...hell yeah!

Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank and Folklore just topped my most wanted list.

Uncharted looks unbelievable.

Either way, it looks badass.

U know what else looks badass?

Uncharted!

Know I now some people are gonna say it only looks O.K, but for some reason I fell in love with it!

BTW: Why was no MGS4 shown?

Edit:

Oh, and Ratchent and Clank is also my Most Wanted game, but I really didn' t think Folklore looked that sprecial.

Still, the Ps3 is shaping up to become mighty fine... IMO

BTW: Why was no MGS4 shown?

...because it' s been delayed until 2008..

@ Uncharted... it looks good... ..just not really my thing because the shooting sections look like a poor man' s Resi 4, and the main protagonist should be a big boobed English hottie called Lara Croft

Aww, I think he' s cool! In a Bruce Campbell kinda way!

did you guys just forget White knight ??

a mighty fine rpg by Factor 5.

how about heavy rain ?

some games just got forgotten, the ps3 is shaping up to be a badass motherfucker

To add to what Abasoufiane said, do you think that these games shown are now pushing the PS3 ahead of the 360 graphically and in gameplay?

To add to what Abasoufiane said, do you think that these games shown are now pushing the PS3 ahead of the 360 graphically and in gameplay?

Dunno about that, I just think theese games looks cool as hell, and more My Kind of game, than most on the 360.

I think Mass Effect on the 360 is probably one of the most techically advanced console games though (not sure), and seems like it has the gameplay to match.

how about heavy rain ?

Dunno if I remember correctly, but wasn' t this later announceed for the 360 as well?
Still, it' s also one I' m keeping an eye on.

Socom looks promising.

It' s got less to do with the consoles themselves and more to do with developer skill.

The whole power argument thing is pointless.

Socom PS3 sounds terrible. Online only, and there' s no tactics required in successful multiplayer, and if there should be, it' s terribly applied. Socom' s multiplayer was good, but GRAW tops their formula. Not to mention it' s being farmed out, which is incredibly bad news in my opinion.

I couldn' t care less about Socom after reading that, but I do want to know what Zipper is working on.

Warhawk looks promising, although I' m still disappointed they killed campaign.

Ratchet & Clank is going to be amazing, no doubt about that.

Uncharted has been on my list for quite some time now. I posted a slew of photos a while back & I' ve been following it since then.

I guess I' m the only one who thinks uncharted looks really, really boring.
Ratchet and Clank looks fun though, even if it doesn' t really have that next-gen feeling.
LittleBigPlanet looks very promising but we all know that.

I love how SONY put out this the same day Halo3 beta is out,yeah you really succed well to take off the hype sony,lol.

Like 25 of my 30 friends online now is playing halo3.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

...some other updates you might of missed:

TN' s Latest batch of ∑ screens









Three new Dark Sector screens







...and DANTE makes his playable debut in DMC4 (go into the sites movie section for a teaser)

Currently accepting Article & Review requests

I' m liking everything I' ve seen about Dark Sector, except for how brightly lit it is. They need to bring that way down.

Uncharted looks great, but they need to fix the sub par shooting, i hate the way he the enemies barely react to the shots fired, if you shoot them in the leg they should fall to the ground, not fly backwards. The animations looks great but Drake himself looks a little floaty, like gravity dosent apply, he moves too fast while climbing.

Thankfully they have a few months left and can easily fix those issues. Apart from that it looks fantanstic.

LittleBigPlanet, looks ace. as always.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Like 25 of my 30 friends online now is playing halo3.

So all of the people on your Xbox 360 friends list are playing on the Xbox 360? Not exactly what I call startling results dude.

Just seen the lastest Videos of Uncharted and Lair.

Just like ive always said (and been ridiculed for by 360 fans before). .Once they start to hack into the Cell hardware, PS3 games will look and Run the shit!!

Technically, probably the most impressive console games ive seen.


VF5 looks too dam good in motion though. (watching brother play it in the background)

Currently playing:
Korg DS 10 (ds) /  Metal Slug 7 (ds)
Rhythm Heaven (ds) /  Fire Emblem (ds)
Super Stardust HD (psn) /  Virtua Fighter 5 (360)
FSX (P

Once they start to hack into the Cell hardware, PS3 games will look and Run the shit!!

They' ll look nice, but the 360 will still always trump it for texture quality.(comparing max possible clarity, not lazy developer clarity)

This is definately going to be an interesting holiday season though. Depending on if the MGS rumors are true, and Killzone' s release and score, my purchase date for a PS3 is going to be quite shaky.

I Don' t agree with the ' clarity' statement TBH. AA is ' rounded off' textures, making them look less sharp...

PS3 is more raw PC-style. Infact my PS3' s out-put looks alot shaper than my former 360. HDMI, kills it TBH..

Tell that to the developers of every PS3 game so far because many don' t have much in the way of AA and yet the texture quality is still worse.

It depends on your display, but yeah, HDMI is better than component.

I' d argue that VGA on 360 has the same sharpness advantage over component too.

Yeah, i used VGA on my 360 and it certainly looked better than default component visuals.


I thought HDMI was overhyped but was soo suprized by the difference in clarity it offered over both Compnent and VGA.

Hopefully the Elite' s HDMI output is on par to show a true 100%, uninterrupted, digital output.. the difference in picture is worth getting another 360 in ' Elite' Form...

360 fans are gona Buzz playing classic 360 games through HMDI. GOW OMFG..

WHAT?

ARE YOU GUYS KIDDING THAT GAME ISN' T THE BEST LOOKING CONSOLE GAME FFS.

OMG,WTF?!
DID YOU EVEN SEE THE GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE OF UNCHARTED.

YES IT LOOKS GOOD BUT COME ONE.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

I think it looks boring. Okay, the environments look kinda sweet but the gameplay didn' t look very interesting. It better have one hell of a story if I' m going to be interested. And the animations they boast so much about looked lame IMO.

The best thing about Unchartered are the cinematics, the gameplay elements look
boring, the in-game animation is far worse than the cinematics (where the
animation is startlingly impressive). The enemies look lame, they don' t even look
like they are thinking.

The main character looks like that guy that left Naughty Dog.

I thought Heavenly Sword was going to be a definite purchase, but, after seeing
the new footage, where the enemies look boring and enjoy standing around
waiting for her to cleave through their " sacred genitals" , I think Sigma will
keep me more than entertained, as well as God of War 2, which are both better.

Screw it.... So is DMC4.

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.
