Trico (Ico 3, SotC 2)

[maximaz]

This is the reason I will probably buy a PS3. I loved Team Ico's previous games, especially SotC, and this looks like Ico and SotC had a baby. Could be more original but I have no doubts it will be fantastic.

BTW, notice the arrows in the beast, there must be actual encounters with human(oid) creatures.

That possum bird better not die.

If he dies I am going to cry.

 

[rcorporon]

That looks amazing. I can't wait.

Their first two games were brilliant.

 

[Brother None]

Puppies!

Never played a team Ico game. I'd love to, they all look awesome, but if they can't be arsed to put it out on PC I can't be arsed to bother with it. Too bad.

Where's that tune from again? Tres cliche.

 

[Mutoes]

Big fan of SotC myself too so ill propably like this one too. If this is similar to ico, ill guess the idea is to get that big monster to follow you to diificult places... hard to say for sure.

This will probably end up as one of the few games I will actually buy this or next year.

I always have had a weakness for games that try to be different and I bought SotC not long after it came out.
Still need to finish that.

No PC version? No, thank you.

 

[k9wazere]

well, psthree might not be too far away.

sold my 360 shortly after buying it, and i'm getting a pretty strong urge to pick up a slimline ps3 if they release it at a reasonable price.

the biggest problem with the ps3 has always been the weak games line-up, but hopefully they'll get some classics out sooner or later.

 

[Bal-Sagoth]

No PC version? No, thank you.

Yuck, thankfully there is no chance what so ever of a PC version. That would be absolutely terrible.

Really?

I admit, it was a very real issue in the first year the PS3 was released but at this point that dog don't hunt.

Granted there might not be anything you personally would want to play but in general the PS3 library is hardly weak. It has its share of great AA-AAAA games this gen.

Now if we could just get God of War III out I will feel complete.

 

[The Dutch Ghost]

So k9wazere, what made you sell your 360?

 

[Brother None]

No console wars here guys thank you.

Because...?

Just my Sony fanboyism, no other reason.

Team ICO is up there with Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Polyphony Digital,Guerrilla Games,Santa Monica Studio, Sucker Punch,etc. of coveted exclusive Sony developers.

One of the big things Sony has going for it is its first and second party support. Losing any of the above mentioned studios would be quite the blow to the PS3 that it definitely does not need right now.

So honestly that's it? You freely admit these are great games yet you're happier to see people like me miss out on the experience wholesale than to see your precious bunch of electronics hurt?

Man console wars are stupid.

I'm glad I have no compulsion whatsoever to play any of that other skat, be it MGS4 or Killzone 2. If those're your flagship titles, no wonder the console is sinking into the murky depths.

PS: not a console war post

The picture is not meant to be taken seriously.

And yes, that is the main reason. The PS3 needs its exclusives at the moment, it is one of the main selling points for the system. Without those it would be one less reason to buy a PS3 over a 360.

To be honest, the exclusives were the only reason I did it as well. Blu-Ray does not interest me that much and the other little features I do not use. Free online is nice but that is about it.

The PS3 may be in third but it is not going anywhere that is for sure. I am very excited about this year for the exclusive line up. Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, inFAMOUS, MAG, God of War III, GT5, FFXIII Versus, and so on.
Not to mention all the multiplats coming out this year.

GT5 and GoW III could very well be spring next year though.

Anyways, back on topic for me.


From what I read on Neogaf and other places this is supposed to be year old footage. Lets keep our fingers crossed they will have something new to show at E3. It would be sure to make huge waves along with the gameplay on God of War III and (hopefully) Heavy Rain that is supposed to be shown.

So k9wazere, what made you sell your 360?

1. Not being interested (at the time) in any of the up-coming releases.
2. Noise.
3. Knowing that the failure rate was about 30%.

The person I sold it to got the red ring of death shortly afterwards. Fortunately I had given him the receipt, and he was able to get a replacement.

The noise was a real deal breaker imho.

MGS4 is worth buying a PS3 for alone.

However, I'll be waiting for system prices to fall before I (inevitably) pick one up.

Briefling scanning through that list I'm not sure I'd describe many of them as AAA games, however...

It depends on your definition for AAA and if you want to use multiplats in the argument as well. Going by SW standards the PS3 has about 2-3 less than the 360 atm but it also has the only AAAAE this gen (MGS4) so it evens out.

Of course this will not end well to keep talking about so as recommended before I will bow out of the console wars arguments.

I do agree however that you should wait and watch for the price drop. Maybe something will be said at E3.

Gay anime puppies. How lovely. Can you set them on fire?

How is MGS4 not just another AAA title? It hasn't sold more or been received better than the top AAA title of this gen (GTA IV, if you can't guess)

Also also, everything I hear about MGS4 pegs it as absolute crap. I wasn't surprised to hear as much and have no interest in the game anyway, but your claim is that it's...good?

As I said in that same post it is going by "SW" standards. Which means System Wars which in turn almost means going by Gamespot scores. MGS4 is the only AAAAE this gen going by that score system. GTA4 was AAAA on GS as well but it was not AAAAE so that is void for the argument.

As far as you hearing everyone say its absolute crap...

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/metalgearsolid4gunsofthepatriots

It has a Metacritic average of 94 with 81 reviews and recieved numerous awards from various websites including Game of the Year on Gamespot.

Of course none of that matters, Half-Life is praised by all yet it bored me to tears and Too Human was considered a horrid flop by dozens of reviewers but I actually enjoyed it somewhat.

That is where opinion and what not comes into play. Personally for me MGS4 is one of the most stunning and brilliant games I have ever played and I would have bought a $600 launch price PS3 for it alone.
