Two amazing games on PS3 in January, LBP2 and ME2

Hideo_Kojima4961d ago

LBP 2 BETA is really cool.
The emitor hat allows you to through anything you want from your head as quickly as you want and as far as you want.

Fire, Electricity or even tanks and buildings.

deafwing4961d ago

damn .. I will loose sleep on this game :(

PixlSheX4961d ago (Edited 4961d ago )

Capture the flag! FPS! RPG! Micro Machines! Zone of enders! Geometry wars! OMG THIS IS ALREADY THE BEST GAME I'VE EVER SEEN! I can't believe it can recreate all those amazing games!

otacon684961d ago

So much awesomness. Shame we have to wait till january...

OneSneakyMofo4961d ago

Stupid of Sony and/or Mm to push this back. It would've won GotY hands down. Oh well, more polish = better game for us.

redDevil874961d ago

maybe the BETA was more successful than they thought it would be. Look at the levels people are creating, why would you stop now? They're probably doing and finding things MM would never have thought of.

Plus they might be implementing some of the glitches into the game i.e. the layer glitch which led to the FPS mode.

Hideo_Kojima4961d ago

I think the BETA found a lot of bugs and a lot of new possibilities were shown to the developers.

On my first day I found 3 bugs in about 2 hours.

Also like you said all this new ideas may have given them even more ideas so they wanted to implement more features into the game.

All that takes a lot more time than I think they had planned

despair4961d ago

I rather they finish the game proper and fix any bugs or make any improvements than it being a contender or winner for a useless and pointless "Game of the Year".

house4961d ago

get goty next year for 2011 and it most likely will. it was kinda a smart move to finish the game fix bugs but not only that but gt 5 is one of sonys biggest games so its better that lbp got moved so it has its own room to shine.
on topic damn these levels are just insane and this is just the beta

redDevil874961d ago (Edited 4961d ago )

They made capture the flag! 0__0 thats frickin crazy

I always wanted a micro machines on the PS3... and now i have one :D

NBT914961d ago

No you don't, you have a fairly boring top down racer with next to none of the fun, the Micro Machines games actually had. The same goes to just about anything that's been made so far.

That FPS Viatnam level for example, it's no where near as good and fun to play as an actual FPS Game (except maybe Haze :D).
Impressive that people can make this stuff sure, but I just don't see the point in playing recreations of racers when there are very good ones available. I guess what i'm trying to say is: LBP has allways impressed me, but I just find it boring to actually play.

I don't use this term much, I try not to but I consider this game over hyped / over rated. Anyone care to tell me: why should I play a bad recreation of Pac Man in LBP(2?) when I can play the better original version?

HeroXIV4961d ago

LBP RPG is the best thing I've seen so far. It's just insane how much creativity the LBP community has, it makes me a bit jealous actually.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies1d 2h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken21h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 13h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 13h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt1d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken21h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 19h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d 18h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 18h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies1d 7h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
