PS3 screenshots: HOLY FUCK

[A Black Falcon]

Sony kind of just did.

By adding another $600 model on top, though, they just shuffled the prices... the old $500 model is gone, the $600 model is $500, and there's a new $600 model. While technically prices on each model did go down, the prices are still $500 and $600... exactly as they were before. :)

When I get one the only FPS I can think of that I want is Halo 3. Other games will be the rpgs, banjo, viva pinata, mass effect, too human, and so on.

I agree. I'm just pointing out the facts.

Yes, of course you're pretty much right. If I got a 360 I can't imagine getting many FPSes and I'm sure I'd find stuff to get... really, the biggest problem there is that half of the best games (including almost all of the FPSes) are also available on the PC, and the PC versions are better. But still, the focus of attention and press and reviews (as you said, the top quality games...) on the FPSes means a lot both quality-wise and game selection wise. The 360 will have many, MANY more FPSes.

I think so, it has stat building. RPG Adventure if you want to further specify.

Microsoft is bankrolling: Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Infinite Undiscovery, and Fable 2 for sure. It could probably be safely assumed they'll finance Blue Dragon 2 and the Mistwalker MMO as well, so MS is paying for 6 out of 14 known RPGs.

It's been an on-going trend over the last two years that Japanese developers are beginning to think of the video game market globally. They stand to make far more sales by including the U.S. and Europe in their audience.

True, and that, along with MS'es money, is obviously why the 360 has Japanese RPGs. Still, most Japanese developers do the same thing as developers here and focus on platforms popular in their region.

It is an RPG, very much so. Now, that doesn't mean that it's a CONVENTIONAL RPG by any means, but it is an RPG.

But don't you slash on the screen to attack and stuff? How much is there to the game? I don't know all that much about it really, but it doesn't sound that complex... or interesting...

FFCC Wii has promise, though.

An awesome game is what it is.

Oh yeah that really helps remind me what it is... :)

Anything that doesn't play like Fallout isn't an RPG. NMA and RPG Codex told me so.

Hah... :)

The RPG genre's definition is definitely ridiculously broad, but I'd make it a little wider than that... :)

(though by Fallout standards Fallout 3 sure doesn't look like an RPG, not that I expected anything different)

What matters is where those numbers are coming from.

A lot of sources, I think...
