HAY GUYS

I am not buying a console for 600€ (it might be 500 in former Soviet Republics, I dunno) to play games that could be played on PS2. This entire "a game doesn't need good graphics to be good" discussion is bullshit, at least as far next generation consoles are concerned. PS3 offers HD possibilities, so the developers should use those possibilities. I mean, this is like driving a F1 race with an oldtimer.

While that does make sense, I think they're putting it on a next gen system because basicly all companies begin to abandone the previous gen consoles after a certain point regardless of whether the console could handle the game or not. Heck we're lucky we're still getting PS2 games because no one is making X-Box or Gamecube games for crap.

On another note, if I did get a PS3 this game would be the only reason. I don't care about Final Fantasy 13 or Metal Gear Solid 4. Anything else I want is available on the 360.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I would probably buy some other games as well, but without a game I care about as much as this. I just wouldn't have the motivation given I have many reasons to have hatred of Sony as of late.

I'll be amazed if this game gets released with those screen shots as gameplay footage on the PS3 with no PS2 version.

I understand that, but as history has taught us developers abandone systems. They didn't exactly stick around for the NES when the SNES came out, or any other system down the line prior to this for that matter. You know why PS2 is the best selling system of all time? People who grew up with video games kept playing them, there are simply more gamers in the world now then ever before.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
