It's the lack of content for the PS3 that is hurting the platform most, and that is something that Sony, has not yet done enough to offset. Several of the Playstation's most recognized exclusive game franchises aren't due out until mid to late 2008

There will be around 60 games avalible by Christmas not to mention the stuff on the PSN store, how is that a lack of content?

I think he meant "good" content...

Darth Koth · 10-22-2007, 02:46 PM

wow some people are hard to please, the PS3's first year has been way better than the other two, theres plenty to enjoy

RickyP · 10-22-2007, 02:59 PM

I'm not denying (nor am I stating the opposite) that the PS3's first year had a better lineup than the 360's, but there still isn't anything completely "worth-wild" available (on either console for that matter)

I can see Warhawk shaping up to be a killer-app after all the bugs are fixed though.

Darth Koth · 10-22-2007, 06:21 PM

I think (imo) that Warhawk is a little overrated, its certainly fun, but killer app? I don't know

dillonthebunny · 10-23-2007, 12:08 PM

i think it could be a killer app, just needs tweaking.. a lot. but i think it has potential.

Ben D. · 10-23-2007, 12:46 PM

For what it is, Warhawk is crazy fun. Sure, it could use some tweaking, but what online multiplayer game didn't when it first came out?

i was saying to DK today that i probably had the worst online sesh ever on WH.. a guy called Booby brown was team killing everyone relentlessly, every game i went in to, eventually he would turn up and just kill his own. you had people also waiting for the big guns, so instead of finding their own, they would rather blow up their team mates in order to get said piece of equipment. its things like this that should be addressed first in the tweak dept as well as fun aspects.
you need a fair system, maybe even police it like RFOM. this could be a nice reason to buy a PS3 and a copy of WarHawk, but it will only be as good as they make it. I think dropships are a good idea, but theres other things they need to concentrate on first (like stats etc..lol)
personally, i think this time next year, i would like to think that WarHawk will be incredible and way different from what we see today, it could be.. lets hope they do it.

The other day i played a few online games of Battlefield Modern combat2 on the ps3 (ps2 game).. and dare i say it.. i had forgotten how good it is. now, if the next installement is as good if not better, WarHawk is in REAL trouble. best they sort these tweaks out now and get that fan base in.

I would like to think there is a WH fan base, but i played ROFM the other day too, i hadnt played that since getting WH, it was great. but how many like me have done the same, not played RFOM since getting WH?

staying loyal to a game is what sells games, and console imo. WarHawk being a Sony only game 'could' be a PS3 seller if tweaked right, same as RFOM, but like RFOM.. where are the new map packs? if they come out.. how many would still buy them ( i know i would, but im not talking about me) if they released a new pack tomorrow?

personally i think loyalty is what sells consoles, and games loyal to that console is what does it. think of all those Socom lovers out there.. I know many many people waiting for MGS, Final Fantasy and GT5 to hit the PS3 before they buy one.

the PS3 has these games coming, but why not start with what we have? RFOM and WH are two games that could be incredible and will sell consoles in their own right if they do the right thing.

...oops, i think i may of derailed the topic somewhat, sorry.. i'll shut up.

For the record, they are creating Arbiters for Warhawk that should stop this kind of silly abuse.
