RUMORS...

- Saint's Row to be PS3 launch title
- New Prince of Persia for next-gen consoles
- Crysis sequel/spin-off to next-gen consoles
- Luigi's Mansion sequel for Wii
- Free Virtual Console games to be packaged with select Wii launch titles
- Dumbed-down Halo to launch with Microsoft's inevitable handheld
- The next Elder Scrolls game is scheduled to ship next summer

There's some good stuff to chew on there. Ninety-Nine Nights and Deep Labyrinth bomb, a new Elder Scrolls soon, Okami rocks our faces off. So chew, people. CHEW!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was expecting solid 8s and perhaps a 9 from one of the reviewers. Hopefully it's not a trend but an exception. Now I need to play the demo to be able to decide.

Take one 360, add some chopped PS3, stir in some Wii, a sprinkling of DS Lite. Enjoy :)

Yep and Prey getting a score of 6.5 is surprising, it's nothing revolutionary but it's solid. Nothing less than a 7 imo, and I myself would give it a 7.5. N3 seems about right though.

If average scores from other publications come out and they are pretty much the same, I'd definetely have to play the demo to make a decision.

What?
I'd put my house on that not being true. I can't say 100% but I'm pretty sure I'd have heard.

As for Dead Rising, I do sometimes wonder how long these people play the game. It's designed so that it's not possible to do everything within one run of "72" hours. Hence, each playthrough is largely going to be different.

The Kameo reviews were a case in point....I'm not saying it was *the* greatest game but I got a solid 30 hours out of that and the elementals side of things was intelligently put together. If I had time, I'd probably do the campaign again. However most reviewers seemed to bash through the story mode in 6 hours and leave it at that. Sure it's short and I bet they made cuts for launch but they missed the point.

Same goes for Dead Rising, play the demo. It's not for everyone but I found it a lot of fun.

The Saints Row devs mentioned requiring to take advantage off the PS3s 7 SPE's to get the same performance with Saints Row, so I'm betting its valid.

That DR demo will prove once in for all whether this is the Night of the Walking Dead or the Land of the Dead of Zombie games.

It's not that their opinion matters more than mine, it's simply that I many times do agree with reviewers, not necesserely EGM though.

So you played the demo? or a preview version?

And I do agree that many times these people don't play the games that much. Many reviewers thought Riddick was too short and lowered the score for that, and I thought it was fine and offered very good replay value (finding cigarrette packets, etc)

Maybe not a launch title, but I wouldn't cross out it being on the PS3. I wish I hadn't thrown out that old issue of Play (or Edge, some English mag). And how am I supposed to know how many SPEs the thing has? Do I look like Acert .

Why is that? Madden for PS3 obviously won't be out till launch, neither will Splinter Cell, or alot of other multiplatform titles. I think that the cost of developing games is too high for devs to release exclusives. If I were a publisher I'd be willing to eat the cost of re-releasing a game on another console without mass publicity than thinking of those units which were not shipped to stores.

I don't work for Volition, so I'm not absolutely sure either way. But I wouldn't be surprised.

You've got a point. No idea about launch, but I think it might be seen on PS3 sometime. We can only wait and see. Moving onto other rumors.
- New Prince of Persia for next-gen consoles
- Crysis sequel/spin-off to next-gen consoles
- Free Virtual Console games to be packaged with select Wii launch titles
- Dumbed-down Halo to launch with Microsoft's inevitable handheld
- The next Elder Scrolls game is scheduled to ship next summer
I'd like to see a new Prince of Persia. Maybe it'd be less hand holding and more action based. I never liked the tutorial based action sequences. I liked God of War's hands-on combo combat way more.

Crysis spin-off, I can see that happening after Far Cry Instincts. Aslong as its got the same cool designs and awesome engine, I'll be happy.

Free Virtual Console games, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask with Twilight Princess :D? I'd save hundreds! I wanna believe in the Wii.

I didn't think the Zune would do much gaming. I'd probably take alot more interest in one if it had Halo Lite.

Elder Scrolls V? Next year? Why, when the last ones went so long in between releases. I haven't even beaten IV yet .

I don't give a damn about reviews. I already pre-ordered the game and I'm excited to play Dead Rising.

After what 1UP did to Kameo, I will never trust these pathetic journalists again.

EGM said that they were the leaders in giving games harsh reviews. So companies dont even want EGM to rate their games because they are so harsh.

I work for one of the ratings boards and I've played a preview version. Once it gets announced on our website I'll post some proper impressions. Hopefully that's tomorrow, maybe saturday.

I've not seen anything on the demo so I don't know what it will be. However, if they do it right, they'll add a couple of missions and give you a small area of the mall to play around in, kinda like Saint's Row.

My point really was it's an individual kind of game, you'll either love all the wacky stuff you can do or get bored quickly. Personally I love the humour and sheer variety of methods used to despatch litterally thousands of zombies. There will be reviewers who just don't appreciate that, or don't get it, hence you're better off playing the demo rather than worrying about review scores

It's not down to Violition, it's down to THQ, the publisher. That in itself should give you a clue. THQ have been notoriously careful about next-gen development and they were last generation as well. To date, we've only seen The Outfit from them on 360 and soon, Saint's Row.

Given the frame rate issues that have plagued this game for months, I don't see how they will have had time to ramp up PS3 development and get a working game out in November, not with the cross platform differences. There just wouldn't be the install base for it to pay off either.

I don't rule out seeing it at some point, but I would say it's far more likely to make an appearence on PC. It would certainly not make sense to launch a PS3 port of a year old 360 game late next year with GTAIV on the horizon, so they've got a very limited window to get it out and make the sales. I don't think I've seen any PS3 stuff from THQ yet, though there might be some out there.

Unlikely.
