Well, coming from a developer which contributed to the finest sports game I've ever played running 1080p native + 60 fps, I believe every word he's got to say.

Shadow Flare5342d ago (Edited 5342d ago )

Yeah....if there's anyone out there who still thinks bluray does nothing for gaming, read this interview and then sit in a corner and dwell.

"The fact that the PS3 is bluray supported is HUGE. The 25gb single layer and 50gb dual layer was one of the best things to happen to our game"

And just a reminder:

Gran Turismo 5: 1000 cars
Forza 3: 400 cars

So yeah.....bluray is a bit handy

Nick2120045342d ago

I couldn't agree with you anymore. I would love the NFL license to expire for EA Sports and see what Sony can do with a football game on the PS3.

Rigmaster5342d ago

"if there's anyone out there who still thinks bluray does nothing for gaming"

There really isn't anyone who actually believes that damage control meme.

No one would be making such an asinine claim if this wasn't the first generation to have a console with less storage space than a previous gen.

Nick2120045342d ago

According to the Senior Producer, Blu-ray makes game development MUCH easier.

FlatulentGhost5342d ago

I really didn't understand why people always talked so highly of The Show. Just thought is was another sports game, just with PS3 level graphics.

I decided to try the demo just to finally see what people were talking about. I was absolutely blown away by how good the game is. It was really quite a shock at what a good time I had. I don't play sports games and the last one I played had to be back in the Genesis days.

Even though I don't see myself playing The Show very much if I get it with the mind boggling number of other PS3 games coming out, will probably pick it up when it drops more in price just for the sake of how much it impressed me.

ZBlacktt5342d ago

@ Shadow Flare

FXIII 1 blu-ray, or 4 to 5 DVD's :D

MGS4, KZ2, UnCharted 1 and 2, Heavy Rain, etc, etc. Not possible as stated on the other console.

ZBlacktt5342d ago

Done tastefully, not fanboyish. Good read.

G3TDOWN5342d ago

didn't you guys learn it from Killzone 2, uncharted and MGS4 ?

What's new ?

ZBlacktt5342d ago (Edited 5342d ago )

G3TDOWN

I guess what's new is you can now add MLB 09 to your list of Dev's to talk about it. Point is, it's Dev's talking about "their" titles. Which as far as were considered. We could read it all day long. :D Makes ya proud to own such a machine.

nice interview, the game is looking great and I know there is more power on the PS3 that they can pull out.

Nick2120045342d ago

Thanks man. Glad to hear you liked the interview.

thereapersson5342d ago

If not THE greatest.

MLB: The Show is simply a must-have for ANY baseball fan.

This isn't opinion, it's hands-down a fact.

chisox1005342d ago

Sony could make an NFL franchise right now if they wanted. 2K sports has an exclusive hold on the baseball franchise rights but since The Show is not 3rd party it can be made, same with an nfl title

theroadtoruin5342d ago

@Nick212004 i was just talkin about that the other day

Feature: Toughest Platinum PS3 trophies

BANGBANGTECH wrote; If you're thriving for a gaming challenge there are a few PS3 platinum trophies to collect which might have you pulling your hair out long before you are done…

Trophy support was added in a PS3 firmware update (2.40) in July 2008 and since the start of 2009 they have been compulsory in all full length PS3 releases. Whilst some players are driven by the thought of hoarding trophies, others are content to use them as a way of tracking accomplishments on a bronze, silver, gold and platinum scale.

On many occasions, even after beating the last boss in a game you might have only acquired a mere 10% of the trophies.

Most games are designed to be challenging but there there are a few that really standout when it comes to nabbing those elusive platinum trophies.

If you want your monies worth from a game and its platinum reward, you might want to take a look at ...

Batman: Arkam Asylum platinum was hard?

andron5163d ago (Edited 5163d ago )

Some had problems with the challenges, so I guess it's a bit individual what people struggle with.

I find trophies that make you finish games in a certain time period highly annoying. Take GTA IV for example, who are going to complete it twice just for a trophy...

Dave13515161d ago (Edited 5161d ago )

They forgot battlfield bad company 1, i have 36 days (864 hours)of playing time and yet to get it

NotSoSilentBob5162d ago

My vote goes to warhawk or Disgaea3 for the simple fact you have to grind so much in both of those games.

unrealgamer585161d ago

warhawk plat isn't hard just time consuming

Pillage055161d ago

I got the Killzone 2 plat. It would be about a 1000 times easier if it weren't for Radec on the hardest difficulty (well not radec but his waves of minions...I still have nightmares about that level. I think I calculated by my deaths before and after that it took me about 200-250 trys to beat the last level on the hardest difficulty and only around 50 for the rest of the game..on all modes) And the online rank trophy. How did GG think that was a good idea?

Also the R2 isn't very hard. Most people just complain about the 10k kills one cause they don't like grinding trophies. I will admit that it is the only trophy I am short (3.5k to go lol) but its only because none of my friends ever played online so I stop playing relatively soon

Sarevok5161d ago

You got skills. I only have 37% of them and I have about...15 days worth of online play(16k kills and 14k deaths)

Studio-YaMi5161d ago

Are worthless!

unless you're just a show-off or think you're cool by getting them,it gives no good reason to get them!

they should have made this worthwhile...I mean like having extra weapons or infinite lives or stuff like that as a trophy bonus...not just : KILLER TROPHY ...ok what can I do with this;KILLER TROPHY ?

nothing;
and the same goes to XBOX achievements !

Automat5161d ago

games in themselves are pretty worthless! What do you get in real life for finishing a game on hard?

This Week in PlayStation – March 5th

PlayStation LifeStyle: "A common stereotype about gamers is their short attention span. As announcements for new games and hardware come and go it is easy to lose sight of the momentous events that shaped the gaming world. This Week in PlayStation highlights Sony's rich video game heritage which dates back into the 1980's.

Step back in time with us as we put the spotlight on events big and small that have significantly altered the gaming culture."

This is a weekly feature. Every Friday this will go live.

DaTruth5168d ago

Yeah, staring at a screen for 5 hours straight is the mark of a poor attention span!

Who writes this crap???

DoucheVader5168d ago

@ DaTruth

Yes a screen that is constantly changing images so much so that each game has an epileptic seizure warning. Or in other words, optimized for an attention deficit audience.

DoucheVader5168d ago

Don't forget to thank the editor! :) LOL

T3mpr1x5168d ago

Hard to believe only ten years ago we were just barely coming into the PlayStation 2 era...I was also only 11 years old HAH!

PlayStation Vice-President of Epic Footage Kevin Butler: An Appreciation

TechLand: This post was supposed to be about MAG, the ambitiously-huge 256-player first-person shooter that came out today. But after watching the commercial for it, I realized I first needed to give props to the sardonic genius known as Kevin Butler. Generally, he's the spokesperson you see in all of the PlayStation 3 commercials.
