I also get a little 'giddy' about all the new baseball games which always seem to arrive at the same time. This year I was particularly excited with the prospect of Sony's MLB 08: The Show for the Playstation 3. The screen shots and videos that were released in the weeks leading up to the release of the game seemed too good to be true. The graphics and gameplay looked fantastic. This year was looking like a rebound year for the franchise as MLB 07: The Show was somewhat of a disappointment. Did MLB 08: The Show for the PS3 live up to my expectations? Let's find out."
The MLB: The Show franchise exclusively on PlayStation platforms, has driven baseball simulators to the next level with the most realistic and detailed games from the sport. Today TheGamerAccess.com is glad to announce that they have one of the Senior Producers of MLB 09: The Show with them to answer some of their questions.
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.
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
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.
"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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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
Professional sports have dealt with doping from track & field, to cycling, baseball, pro football, wrestling, boxing, and just about any sport you can think of. Taking that information and looking at many of athletes that have existed in the gaming world has resulted in suspicions that maybe some of these digital athletes were doping like A-Rod and the real players.
Without further ado, here are 10 game characters suspected of using "power ups" to enhance their game.
Marcus and Dom are Defiantly Injecting
All be it Each other
But them two Butch Gears are Defiantly Injecting
yeah. They do look like they are on roids.
I was laughing my ass off when i saw Mario in there
It won GameStooge's Best RPG of 2008, Best Xbox 360 Game of 2008, and Best PC Game of 2008, and it captures the overall prize. There are so many factors that made Fallout 3 so special: the look of the game, making even a post-apocalyptic desert beautiful; the theme and setting; the storyline and voice acting; the VATS system and action; the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. and Karma roleplaying game elements; from beginning to end, Fallout 3 felt like an event. Kudos for Bethesda, who have the unenviable task of trying to one-up their own creation.

Fallout 3 is an amazing game. Can't wait to get this on the 360 with the exclusive DLC.
Fallout 3 certainly should get GOTY! Awesome game with so much to do and good replay value.
Homicide I also can't wait to get that DLC :) 3 in the next 3 months! Though for PC you could also get the GECK dlc which is a map editor and sounds pretty dang sweet but I don't have a gaming PC anyways
