- Guerrilla Games mentioned that Killzone 2 for PlayStation 3 will have downloadable levels from the PlayStation Store, there are presently 120 staffs working on the project. Killzone 2 will be translated into 20 different languages.

Come on. They still haven't released the game and they admit that it will be less? For fuck's sake!

It sounds like the Kiziko hands-on was with a much farther along version of Motorstorm than the kiosk demo. I tried to like it, I really did, but the demo just isn't fun. Pretty and detailed, sure, and I figured the framerate would be improved between now and the final release, but the racing just didn't strike me as very good at all. It felt like the gameplay fell on the wrong side of feeling like being barely in control and actually not being in control, thanks to all the air-time where all you can do is sit back and watch as your car hurtles uncontrollably forward.

The MotorStorm demo I saw was definitely total crap regarding the fps (max 25 and dropping to jerky slowmotion at times), but to me, the gameplay physics were really promising and the game looked like it could be very good if they fix the frame rate...

Yeah it's a more recent build. From the first page of the article:

Although different demos of the game have been doing the rounds via download onto owners' systems, and at demo kiosks at stores in Japan and America, some of the feedback has been mixed and it's abundantly clear to us that the near-final product we've played benefits from a lot of perfecting.

[GeeZa]

That's pretty cool actually if it keeps improving. If they can up the fps and keep it solid then Motorstorm will definitely be worth looking at. I still believe this type of game is all about the sensation of speed and carnage.

Well, hurrah for that, I say. Having another strong platform can only be a good thing.

And that copy states the game will be less where?

will have downloadable levels from the PlayStation Store

Part of the development time at the moment is being spent on stuff you wont get with your first lot of money, but will instead be sold to you later

me thinks.

True and they are hardly alone in that respect. Oblivion & PGR3 to name but two that have already done it.

All the next gen consoles support additional content so we'd better get used to it. Ninty have already hinted there will be additional Zelda content and I'd be surprised if they weren't already working on it.

[Flabio]

A stated intention to release downloadable content does not automatically mean it's being worked on now.

But which is it? Unless they tell us, we'll never know.

My point is that there is nothing that says something along the lines of:
"We're only going to give you half the content of a PS2 game and sell you the rest for even more money".
anywhere at all. Yet, the implication is made that this is actual FACT* and that Sony are TEH EVIL.

This thread is full of all sort of negative, groundless, digs at PS3 and I know this is a minor one compared to others but it annoys me none the less. Sure PS3 isn't perfect, but lying / blatantly misrepresenting in order to make it look worse is a bit, well... why would you do such a thing, why?!!



* internet fact

[Marius]

I thought that was pretty clear...we are Nintendo's bitches

[[Feeblez]]

Yes. This thread has got VERY boring!

Props for the Father Ted pic, but the evidence is Sony, amongst others are doing this sort of thing.
Look at Sonys plans for the GT games,even ignoreing money aspexs, is it really fun to "buy" new cars rather then earn them?

Its not Sonys fault exactly either, they are merely trying to claw a method of paying for the uber-expensive costs of games these days.
Its kinda like the videogame version of built-in-obsolence.

Microsofts "Degradable MMORPG" content idea is hardly better....


Of course, we dont know, Sony might not be doing this.
But theres also a chance of Sega releasing a portable Dreamcast

Ninty have already hinted there will be additional Zelda content and I'd be surprised if they weren't already working on it.

....As for the mention of Zelda add-ons, Im doughtfull.
If it was planed as a Wii-title from the ground up, there might be an add-on, (like the 64DD had planned).I dont think they had the time or the will to be "hocks" into this cube-wii game however.
Zelda isnt the easiet game in the world to insert stuff into.

Also, the rumour seemed to come from nowhere but a few fans...cant even find a quote by Nintendo that even remotely hints.
