March, then May....Will September just be another bust month?

Well, the new update sure got my spirits high about being able to play my PS3 like a Wii Virtual Console, but I'm still concerned about Blu-Ray games coming out. Love NG:Sigma and can't wait for it in June. Obviously, July will be awesome cause we get Lair. Plus, this month rocks cause of Super Rub-a-Dub and Calling All Cars.

But September....

Look, I don't mean to be negative here, but you know, how many more times are we going to get a month hyped up for nothing? May, hmmmm, Lair and Heavenly Sword right? That was the word like, 3 weeks ago! And now it's all about September when we supposedly get Heavenly Sword, RC:Tools of Destruction, Warhawk and Killzone 2. What do you think? Will September pull through for us or will we just be dissapointed again?

i think that getting too excited will only make things worst like what happened in march and the whole Motorstorm thing, where the games we thought were going to AAA turn out to be just another game. I think if the Devs need more time should take it and stop putting dates out there messign with our heads. think about it, if they had waited to release motorstorm and just add the features that everybody has come to expect out of an arcade racer then it would have been better. even if they did that and not try to go the extra mile it would have been cool. Instead we got a ONE mode game with future updates for $60. They should of sold the game for lessstinkeyb

I've taken a lot of heat on this board for sharing that same opinion about the value-lacking Motorstorm that I guess was supposed to be one of the PS3's big titles? Anyways, I know Lair won't dissapoint like that....I hope.....

I agree that games should be released with as many featuers as possible. However, March was certainly not a "bust" month for me. I got Oblivion, and I really like what I've played of Motorstorm, although I don't have it. Splinter Cell and NBA Street came out. Armored Core 4 is also a good game if you liked the previous entries. Those games were a lot better than getting...well nothing on other consoles.

For me, May is Spider-man 3, June is GRAW 2 and/or Rainbow Six, July is LAIR (s*** yeah), and August is my birthday so I probably won't even be playing games. Then comes September...

I don't understand where people get the hype for Killzone... Didn't the first one suck?RoganSarine

The Killzone hype is just people who liked the trailer a few years ago. I have zero hype for it currently.

Personally, I am psyched for Heavenly Sword, and I will definitely have to pick up Warhawk.  Rachet and Clank is neither here nor there for me.

Im not holding my breath for anything from the PS3,  would have already died trying

I lost count of how many times the publishers announced a date to just throw it forward several months as in a vicious cycle.

Yeah maybe we will be getting something arond September but I doubt it will be the Burst month for PS3. You can quote me on this since I would love to be wrong.

Who the hell cares about september its still the middle of april. How about may, june, and july? What the hell is coming out soon?

Same here played the first one and it sucked. I have higher hopes for Lair and the other new games coming out. 

I think things will get alot clearer in July when E3 kicks in.Funglip

E3 is in July? Man that sucks. I was hoping to get new info on new games coming out in may. 

i'm not sure if that will be THE month but there's news and games and little things here and there adding up slowly but surely that is helping the PS3 solidify itself in this new generation. i think June is going to be big too. The PS2 and PS1 had the same issues where the library wasn't up to par just yet so it's nothing new and it didn't stop sony from becoming the front runner in the last two gens.

based on that i really don't think this gen will be any different. almost like it's just a matter of time.

i think lairs going to be an awesome game no doubt, the only problem is that it has no online play or multiplayer so some replay value is gone there. i dont know how much fun its gonna be after you beat it. Hopefully, theres unlockables and stuff like that after you beat it.

agreed 

Motorstorm wasn't bust!! :cry:

But Lair, is it definite for July?

Warhawk, The Darkness, MGS4, Killzone, RESIDENT EVIL!!!!

 My thoughts exactly, sept. is a long ways away, why do we have to wait that long to play good games on the PS3, all the games that we saw and couldn't wait to play on the PS3 like Lair, warhawk, killzone 2, MGS4, DMC4, Tekken 6, we have to wait through a whole season to get to play at least 1 of these games, sony doesn't have the best interest of gamers if thats the case.  I'm starting to giveup on my ps3 and wish I never bought the thing right now, what a waste of time.

... and money.

I'm just going to wait and see if all those games will be out in september.The one im truly waiting for is Heavenly Sword.I will not gets my hopes up just yet i will just have to wait and see what happend.

Motorstorm wasn't bust!! :cry:

But Lair, is it definite for July?

DanC1989

yea its 100% definite and it looks amazing so far. Btw, september is the release of Home so that alone could single handedly throw Halo 3 to it's knees lol. Jk, it probably will expose XBL more as being a money harvester than a reliable service. 

I'm itching to get my hands on Lair. After seeing the gameplay footage with that HUGE serpentine sea monster, I was sold.

After July, I could care less until the holidays. PS3 will have a solid year overall regardless of when the big games like Warhawk & Ratchet & Clank come out. But if MGS4 actually releases in 2007, I officially declare it the Greatest Gaming Year Ever. MGS4, GTA4 and Halo 3 coming out within months of each other would suck up more free-time than I can imagine.

Look at the lineup coming. If September isn't the month then I don't know what will be.  

March and May where hyped?, to be honest I had no idea about it, so far I only know about september because some unoficial blog post somewhere.

So why does september deserve all that hype, for what I've learned hype can only lead to disaster

Same here. I never heard March and May being hyped. It was all about this holiday season from all I've heard.

Sony had a lot of sources saying Lair and Heavenly Sword were both coming out in May, hence the hype.....but NOOOOOOO! Don't you just love lies and delays?

Motorstorm isn't just another game. It's a great game. Gamespot seems to be the only place reviewing it that gave it anything lower than 85%. I usually trust GS's reviews, but that one was weak. Don't listen to "MOTORSTORM :LOL: THAT GAME SUCKED GS GAVE IT 79 LMAO", they've never even seen it, let alone played it.

EGM/1UP gave the game at 7/7/9, but it was shane and it was a sony game.

But this game is the reason i wanna buy a ps3, that **** was fun at the kiosc

I didn't hear any hype for March or May either. I'm starting to wonder why you're making this stuff up. 

Btw, the whole "I used to be a Sony fanboy" schtick isn't really convincing to anyone with more than a dozen brain cells.

It really is a great game. There is nothing wrong with it. Even the "lack of modes" just feels like a reason they chose to attack it once you actually play the game. Completing all the tickets takes quite a while. It's better than linear racers where you have three courses. "Now, go through the same course.. but backwards! Then do the same course... with one detour! Now do the same course... as a time trial!" 7.9 is the type of score wannabe racers like NFS get. It really isn't fair. I bought the game, played it, thought whooo, this is fun. Then I went online, checked gamespot, saw the 7.9 and almost immediately liked it less. I shook it off, but those reviews really do affect you if you let them. The simple fact is that Motorstorm is great. Everything there is in place. Great graphics, physics, a very stable frame rate, lots of sick-looking unlockable vehicles, a well-realized tilt function, great course designs, high production values, free online, good music... I would have liked to see 2 player splitscreen, but thats really all I feel its missing. The online is great for MP anyway. I usually put a lot of faith in GS's reviews, in the PS2/Xbox era I could buy a game blind if GS gave it an 8+ and it was my genre of choice... now I'm being a lot more careful.
