All shooters look the same to me and therefore are all generic except one, I partially blame Unreal due to their whoring of their Engine. the one I'm talking about is Halo because that game is so freaking bright, so bright it reminds me of that banned Porygon episode of Pokemon.
And lol at the "amazing for a week", you really don't use the PSN a lot do you? I thought I would be using Singstar only at parties, but it seems like every two days I'm checking up on what the Singstar community has uploaded so I can laugh my carp off. LittleBigPlanet is all about UGC, I dunno but I thought people used Youtube and flickr for more then a week.
I think what he was getting at is that building your own levels in LBP is going to become stale quickly because it appears that levels can be very detailed, and that turning to downloadable UGC will only remedy that problem for so long.
I feel the same way. I think the game looks and sounds great on paper, I'm just not sure if its going to hold my interest for that long. It reminds me of The Forge in Halo 3 -- something you get really excited about before release and during the launch week and then something you gradually care less and less about. While I realize the level editor in LBP is MUCH more complex and detailed than The Forge in Halo 3, that doesn't change the fact its the same concept dressed up in a different package.
i actually agree. lbp looks OMG GOTY for the first week, then it loses its touch just after repetitive play. still looks great and original however.
when you say shooter, all of them are well, shooters all revolving around the same concept. to shoot! its up to the game to deliver something new. gears is respectable for that, the cover system, and a great tps, only a few of those out there such as socom.
also about killzone 2 and blues post, i think killzone is fps defining. i say its the next cod4 and will set standards. the graphics are just so advanced, that when you turn, it blurs according to how fast you turn, and the dust particles and lighting are just beautiful to look at. neogaf has a thread with a bunch of .gifs. which are so beautiful .
GOTY 09 nominees: Resident evil 5, final fantasy 13, ff versus, killzone 2, god of war 3 ( if it makes it), infamous, heavy rain. all contenders, oh and cant forget the psp kingdom hearts game.
remember the best 5 game of all time
1. Kingdom Hearts
2. Kingdom Hearts 2
3. Kingdom Hearts CoM
4. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days
5. Kingdom Hearts birth by sleep
