Only from the Sony shill on Slashdot. I don't think anyone else cares.

Also you should listen to the podcast(s) from ign where one developer from warhawk was there to answer questions and whatnot, and I must say this that as a developer that guy is awesome, I sure wouldn't mind having his mentality developing for a Nintendo system.
Special Note: If anyone one hasn't noticed GP has been on a bitching spree, beware, those claws are not sharp but they still do damage...heil to the borg queen.

Actually Caliban check out ebgame's release schedule, it is coming out this week. Also I think I'll pass on having horribly generic Sony developers working for Nintendo. Heck even 1up.com said that the game wasn't even $40 worth, and you know how pro Sony they are.

Haha, from what I've read the game isn't really even a full game it is more of a budget title (Heck it is priced that way), so I have a feeling the reviews vary because they are rating it on cost vs benefit. Still odd that the official playstation magazine is the one to give it the lowest score! Anyway I will probably get it because of the price, maybe I can get some quick fun out of it (Wouldn't be too hard to get more fun out of Warhawk then I did out of Resistance). Then again with all the truly great games coming out for most of the systems (Excluding PS3) I may just want to move on.

The PS3 gives me this Atari 5200 vibe. It's the followup to a huge console but no one cares and the older console seems to remain more popular. All the big "Playstation brand" games since the PS3 came out are all on the PS2.

Ouch a scathing critique by Ian that is directed at Sony not Nintendo! woohoo.

It seems to be more of a Battlefield wannabe or a budget Battlefield. The Battlefield series has become quite good lately (Not to mention the mod community does amazing things with it).

Actually GP, the US Playstation site has it at September 4th, and what I based my first reply was on the delay that was anounced by Factor 5/Sony themselves where they delayed to the 4th of September and that anouncement was weeks ago.
Whether he is a generic developer or not I cannot say, but what I can say is that you didn't even give a him a chance by hearing what he has to say or what is his gaming philosophy is.
I couldn't care less on what 1Up says, when they fail to be objective in regards to Nintendo games they fail too for the other systems, then they are made of fail altogether.
People still bought the $59.99US Shadowrun for the 360...and Warhawk has way more content than Shadowrun has had since its release.
Just to make sure that anyone that reads this and thinks that I'm some Sony fanboy, I don't own a PS3, I got a PS2-slim this year, and when I get a PS3 I will also get a 360...so there, I'm no Sony fanboy.

This is what you said: "Nintendo does not need some rinky dink guy who gave a good presentation on Warhawk or gaming philosophy".
Way to twist it, eh.

Nintendo already has enough of a good gaming mentality, don't need to pollute it with a mainstream guy! So stop twisting my words by saying I twisted your words which were twisted.
Oh yeah it is pretty interesting, the game is only 800mbs, that is pretty small for a game now days. Heck most demos are around that! Oh well I'm downloading it as we speak.

Basically it sounds to me like a game that just combines good airborne, tank, and land battle together in a multiplayer experience...but with little to no variety.
I am beginning to think that graphics and online gameplay has the ability to blind reviewers into believing anything is great.
However, the Wii always gets knocked around...even good games...for not having great graphics or online.
But after the high reviews I expect Battalion Wars 2 to be getting high scores.

Well I would recommend buying it online unless you really want the headset, for 39.99 I think it is worth it. Just expect a fun, yet limited experience.

I can see it being fun that way, also I agree totally with the controls. Wii has spoiled me to traditional analog controls, where aiming has been harder than ever to get used to with the analog sticks.

Thanks. Yeah I'm thinking I'll get the hard copy, as I do need a headset... but any Blue-Tooth headset works right? I'll order it online if I can find another headset for cheaper I guess.

Update:
Ouch IGN gives a scathing review of Lair, a 4.9/10
Post by: Ceric on August 30, 2007, 03:14:06 PM
I will also say that 800MB is small for a PS3 game where the demos seem to be around a gig.
Edit: Wow that review makes it sound like it stuck everything else and through the gameplay out the window. Which gave it the low score.
Post by: UERD on August 30, 2007, 03:19:15 PM
Also, it looks like Sony has found a good use for all those not-exactly-flying-off-the-shelves PS3s, as well as saving themselves a lot of money.
