We have seen games that have blown us away and games that have failed miserably. Next Gen means games should be better than ever, yet most of these games still haven’t lived up to the words ‘Next Gen’. Read more after the break.
One of the biggest disappointments is ‘Home’. Home is being delayed constantly and leaving Sony fans with only more disappointing news to add on to the pile. It has been rumored that Sony is spending over 40 million dollars on Home - but will that money be worth it? Sony stated, “When it does get released it will be worth the wait.” Sony has already released the beta version of Home in Europe and America recently. Only through invite, so unless you got a email, you will just have to wait until the full version gets released worldwide.
Haze was supposed to be an amazing game with next gen gameplay and graphics but as we all know Haze was over hyped. From the makers of the TimeSplitters series, Free Radical has proved they should continue making games for the PlayStation 2 and not the PlayStation 3. Lets just hope Time Splitters 4 doesn’t follow in the foot steps as Haze. Well, at least it won’t be using the Haze engine.
As you all know, Lair went through a harsh time with reviews mainly because of the control setup. The graphics were really well done and the game play was quite fun - yet the controls were aggravating. Factor 5 admitted defeat and listened to the feedback. They released a patch that allows you to fly with the analog sticks. The reviewers wouldn’t review the game again as it was too late for another review, but I’m guessing it would of done a lot better. Lets just hope the next Factor 5 game will be an improved version of Lair.
Firmware 2.40 has given us power to access the XMB while playing a game. It also added the trophy system and allowed users to enjoy their music while playing games. Unfortunately, current games do not support this feature and will require a patch. Many games will begin to support trophies and some will not. But the firmware didn’t come without any problems. When it was first available to download, many were experiencing problems. Sony said ‘There will be replacements to all PlayStation 3 owners who are experiencing these problems’. It took Sony a week to get the Firmware update back on the servers. This new firmware, 2.41, added a new platinum trophy and a 4th tab to user profiles. With more improvements promised in future firmware updates, we can expect thing can only get better
