Ok, i' m over Sony' s bullshit and illusions and now that we' re 2 and a half months away from launch i' m getting that tingling sensation i get with every new console launch (or maybe it' s just the curry i ate earlier...
)
Forget launch unit figures and allocations. Forget the possibility of very few launch titles. Forget that the console isn' t yet being manufactured. Forget the price. Forget the rubbish rumble-free pad. Forget Nintendo' s Wii, ...and definately forget Microsoft' s Xbox 360. Sony are launching another Playstation and with it " True HD gaming" .
There are 19 potential launch tiles:
(exclusives marked in bold)
-
Bladestorm: Hundred Years War - Call of Duty 3
-
Fatal Inertia -
Full Auto 2 -
Genji 2 -
Lair - Madden NFL 2007
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance
-
MotorStorm - NBA Live 2007
- NBA 07
- Need for Speed: Carbon
- Rainbow Six: Vegas
-
Resistance: Fall of Man - Sonic the Hedgehog
- Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007
- Tony Hawk' s Project 8
-
Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom -
Warhawk ...and should they all make launch there are 7 (nevermind which) that would definately be worth buying, but 4 of those are multi-platform games i' ll probably buy on 360.
Unless the machine is delayed again, in 10 weeks time (or there abouts) the machine will be released and if you' re lucky and manage to pre-order early on, you' ll be playing at least a couple of the games listed above.
With TGS (September 22-24) coming the gaming world will (should) get a very good idea of what the first generation of PS3 games will be like as a whole. My guess is that it' ll be super, and it' s only 3 weeks away!!!
In closing i' d like to invite you all to forgive and then promptly forget Sony' s slip-ups and childlike behaviour that we' ve been witness to in the past 12 months. The Sony Playstation 3 is coming and we need to greet it with open arms.
It may be fat. It may be ugly. It may not even be a games console first and foremost. It may cost more than a months rent. *It may even be capped. But it' s a Playstation and that' s something we can count on.
4D cometh! *The PSP is capped as 222MHz when the processor can actually run at 333MHz. It was capped because they were prone to overheating. PS3 could be the same. There' s nothing substantial to base it on but it' s possible.
