I'm not saying LBP will revolutionize games, but it's cool, and like Kairon is getting at...stuff that PC has always had can still make a splash on consoles and seem "new" to jerks like me that don't care for PC gaming.

Anyway, on Heavenly Sword, I never expected much from this game.  All the early previews were kind of so-so and...I don't know....there just wasn't any reason to expect a lot from it.  Lair, I had higher expectations for, because at least Factor 5 has been known to make some great games in the past.  Heavenly Sword, I don't even know who the developer was.

Firstly, LBP will be significantly more complex then most games with level editors.  Especially those on the commodore 64.

Secondly, mods for PC games are quite complicated for the average gamer, so they aren't a direct comparison...

Did you all just ignore my little to no barriers to entry comment or do you just like to make yourselves look smarter?  LBP is a beautifully done game with a beautiful concept behind it.  In many ways it is similar in my mind to Spore.  Both games are promising a ton.  If they deliver on those promises they will be unbelievable.  The thing is it can be easy to be skeptical.  I wish people wouldn't be so quick to try and hate on a game that isn't on a Nintendo platform.

What is LBP offering tons of? Build your own levels and purty physics?

I didn't read all the comments about you guys talking about LBP. (which i think willbe good, and is a very big shame Nintendo didnt get it)

I just wanted to say that this thread was in no means a thread to bash PS3, the Wii is doing a good enough job by itself. (let alone the almight DS)

I thought Heavenly Sword would be an awesome game, and I'll admit most of that was based off the gorgeous graphics, I used the (obviously flawed) logic, if they put that much time into the graphics then they'll also put a lot of time into making it an amazingly gameplay experience. Gameplay without graphics isn't totally acceptable (look at the graphical effort of MP:3), but passable as Pale mentioned in some games. Graphics without gameplay is worthless, someone said that they'd watch an anime or manga/comic book about Heavenly Sword, and I agree, that's really all it's worth; watching.

From me, the described repitiveness would have earned the game a 3. WTF is the point of playing the same game over and over?

Didn't a square game or something, called Bouncer suffer from a similar fate? Amazing visuals (for the time) but not much else.

I'm all the more surprised at these negative reactions because they've put so much effort into their cinematic portions. I think they even hired Andy Serkis, of Gollum and King Kong fame, to motion capture and voice act their evil emperor. That guy is AWESOME!

I really don't blame them, they seen how the MGS games are all about watching instead of playing, so they thought they'd do the same.

The game will sell well on visuals though won't it? Anyone got any predictions? Maybe... 1 million worldwide eventually?

I have no doubt the game will sell, with the slim pickings of the PS3 any game of decent quality that isn't a port will more than likely sell well. It is like consoles around launch, games that wouldn't sell otherwise get good sales because of there not being much choice. Out of all 3 consoles PS3's lineup is quite pathetic for the holidays when it comes to exclusives, so decent sales would not surprise me for games like Lair, Heavenly and maybe Warhawk.

Well, they've got Uncharted and Rachet. There's plenty of hope left for the PS3's Holiday lineup outside of HeavenlyLairHawk.

Ratchet? I don't think so, that series has been going downhill for years now. Uncharted, maybe, but I wouldn't give your hopes up, it isn't like Naughty Dog is a consistent developer. Neither games are the Calibur of a Bioshock, Halo, SMG, or Smash Brothers.

Did you just admit that Halo is a high calibre game GP?

Yes because it is a title that is going to generate alot of excitement. Ratchet and Clank along with Uncharted not only teeter on suffering in gameplay, but will not be nearly as big as the games I mentioned hype wise.

Uncharted could be. They just need to market that as the first truly next-gen adventure game.

They could do commercials where the guy's got sass, talks the tv audience, cracks some jokes, and roundhouse kicks a bad guy. Sell it as the closest thing to indiana jones you'll ever live.
