VERY NICE!! I can't wait to try it with Move after seeing the iWaggle3D video posted the other day. It is FULLY customizable, the deadzone the sensitivity and more.

CONVERT THE UNBELIEVERS!

Krypto4859d ago

It's like January 2009 all over again... I can't wait!!!!!!!! I'm sooo excited and I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it. LOL

RedDead4859d ago

So...Can EU users download and play it too? With a Us account of course.

jidery4859d ago (Edited 4859d ago )

You will simply see two windows on top of each other with a thin line between them that are slighty off center from each other. The TV can't process that data

ikkeweer4859d ago

@RedDeadDestroyer
Wishing for that aswell, but it's a European Studio (Amsterdam) and I think KZ2 was released in europe first so I don't expect they'll forget us.

Burning_Finger4859d ago

sucks to be poor. :P No 3D for me. :(

StarScream4Ever4859d ago

3D is a fad to me. Don't want to risk my eye just for popups.

GiggMan4859d ago

To each his own... Me personally I can't wait to try this masterpiece in 3D. It's part of the reason I picked up a 3D TV in the first place, the other being I found a great deal and wanted to upgrade my older LG...

Istanbull4859d ago

Maybe you're too poor to buy a 3D tv, I will enjoy this in full stereoscopic 3D!

Klepto4859d ago

@IstanBull

Wow way to be an asshole. Not everyone likes 3D, personally I think if you pay the insane prices for 3D TV's that even in 2D mode don't look as good as a regular LCD or plasma you're foolish.

blackpanther254859d ago (Edited 4859d ago )

@giggman i found a good deal on 3d plasma tv as well only cost me $1300 and it came with two glasses and cloudy monster vs aliens 3d blueray

@edge
I agree with you on some points, but don't knock it until you try it(regarding 3D FPS killzone). When the demo comes and I test it, that is when i will know whether or not it is good for FPS.

edgeofblade4859d ago

3DTV is a fad, or at least the promotion of 3D as being a TV seller. 3D is going to be one of those things that TVs just "have". Like an ethernet jack or a wireless RF remote. It's going to become a non-feature before long... and the average person will finally afford it.

At the same time, do you really want to play an FPS in 3D? Is there a setting for left- or right-sighted, or is the crosshair just going to float between your eyes and you just have to eyeball it? Or is it going to jerk around like a laser, projected on your target?

I'm ok with 3D for certain applications. Racing games? Go right ahead. FPS? Not on your life.

GiggMan4859d ago

@Edge... I will find all that out on Feb 2nd. I'm not knocking it until I try it, which is what most people should do.

StarScream4Ever4859d ago

Really guys? Not all of us wanted a 3DTV in the first place. It's just not that big of the deal to me. I find it a distraction more when playing competitive fps.

edgeofblade4859d ago

@GiggMan: Respectfully, I'll only get to try this if I see it in Best Buy. I've seen the current state of 3D and I don't think it's all that good. I did 3D nearly 5 years ago on my PC with shutter glasses, and the technology hasn't come very far. In fact, it hasn't moved a step. If I were to buy a 3DTV in the next 5 years, it would be one of Vizio's 22 inch passive 3D panels. I might be able to swallow THAT.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow1d 22h ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1821d 2h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie17h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 4h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 2h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 2h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii13h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno11h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
