First gen looks awesome with R:FOM, Motorstorm, upcoming LAIR and Heavenly Sword.

So, when does the second gen of gaming start for the PS3....  Is MGS4, KillZone and FFXIII will be considered Second Gen titles for the PS3 or they still be First Gen titles for the PS3?

Ressistance and Motorstorm don't look THAT good, I really know they can do better... the PS3 right now it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Heavenly Sword and Lair are second Gen, first gen never used streaming textures like RFOM. Lair will be the first to stream hence second gen. First Gen are all the games released now. Starting from Lair and Heavenly with it's Ninja Theory HDR we are at second Gen.

You think so.. But I  thought that it depend on the system life span as well and the PS3 going to be out for only 7-8 months by the time LAIR and Heavenly Sword comes out.  Isn't LAIR and Heavenly Sword still considered First Gen and MGS4 and KillZone will be considered Second Gen

It's techniques used to create the games and life span and release dates. Heavenly Sword uses Ninja Theory HDR and Lair uses streamed textures ala Gears of War hence it's already one generation ahead of games like Ninja Gaiden Sigma and RFOM. Ninja Gaiden would be 1st gen action adventure and Heavenly Sowrd would be 2nd Gen, Blazing Angels would be first gen Flight Sim Action and Lair would be second gen Flight Sim action. RFOM would be 1st gen FPS and Killzone would be 2nd gen FPS.

Killzone will start the next gen. It's the game that is going to allow Sony to state "checkmate." Oh, it'll be longer than six hours also.

I think MGS 4, Killzone 2 and Heavenly Sword can be considered as second wave. Second wave basically is not just about graphical improvements but also a new generation of game-play. Game-play which wasn't capable from the last gen and games like MGS 4, Heavenly Sword, LAIR etc... certainly has the potential to be delivere that. Also, as someone already mentioned, a game that can increase the sales of the system can be consider as a second wave.

i duno. I still think Heavenly Sword and Lair are going to be First Gen mainly because the PS3 hasn't been out for long. 2nd gen for 360 started after Gears of War, aprrox 1 year later... System seller. I'm assuming after KZ2 its 2nd gen from there

Doesn't second gen go by it's first full circle of a year? Second gen would be 2008 wouldn't it?
