sonarus5972d ago

mlb the show is the best baseball game and it has been for a couple of yrs now. mlb 2k9 might come close though we will jst have to see. I was quite dissapointed with the last version seemed almost like a ps2 port to me

Darkiewonder5972d ago

lawlz. that's why the reviewers gave it such a low score. and the people behind the game said it themselves. :3

olLANDSHARKlo5972d ago

Great game, all that needs to be fixed are the extra base hits and the laggy online play and you have the best baseball game ever. I bought a ps3 just to play this game.

SSCOOLCHEA5972d ago

I cant wait for this game . With all those other great games i have on my ps3 . i still managed to find time to play this one. Kudos to sony for keeping this baseball game going. the 2k series sucks ass .( yes I bought a copy last year and played for 2 weeks until the show came out )

Maddens Raiders5972d ago (Edited 5972d ago )

I just wish they would add in behind-the-scenes- footage of punk trainers shooting up Major Leaguers in the buttocks with Winstrol (blurred out of course) That would be a show! 8D

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 Flare5340d ago (Edited 5340d 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

Nick2120045340d 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.

Rigmaster5340d 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.

Nick2120045340d ago

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

FlatulentGhost5340d 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.

ZBlacktt5340d 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.

ZBlacktt5339d ago

Done tastefully, not fanboyish. Good read.

G3TDOWN5339d ago

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

What's new ?

ZBlacktt5339d ago (Edited 5339d 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.

TrevorPhillips5340d ago

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

Nick2120045340d ago

Thanks man. Glad to hear you liked the interview.

thereapersson5340d 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.

chisox1005340d 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

theroadtoruin5340d ago

@Nick212004 i was just talkin about that the other day

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.

Fallout 3 wins GOTY: GameStooge Awards

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.

Best Game of 2008: Fallout 3
Best PC Game of 2008: Fallout 3
Best Xbox 360 Game of 2008: Fallout 3
Best PlayStation 3 Game of 2008: LittleBigPlanet
Best PlayStation 2 Game of 2008: Persona 4
Best Wii Game of 2008: No More Heroes
Best Nintendo DS Game of 2008: Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Fallout 3 is an amazing game. Can't wait to get this on the 360 with the exclusive DLC.

MegaMohsi5587d ago

not exclusive to the 360 seeing as how I'm gonna be playing it on my PC.

Graphics Whore5587d ago

You really think it's going to be just exclusive? It's timed at most.

PS360WII5587d ago

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

JonahFalcon5587d ago
