SCEA Prepping “AAA FPS” Exclusive For PlayStation 3?

You know what we need? Another totally bad-ass FPS like Killzone 2 . …oh, knock it off, FPS haters; I'm just trying to get people psyched for this mystery project.

As found by GameGuru , it seems that SCEA Outsource and Project Manager Su-Cheng Wu's LinkedIn profile has spilled the beans on a hot new FPS exclusively for the PlayStation 3. If you look under "Currently" (i.e., what he is currently doing in the workplace), it says: "Producing all human character faces for a coming soon AAA FPS PS3 title." We have no idea what this might be, but we immediately return our thoughts to the stellar Killzone 2 , which launched earlier this year to widespread critical acclaim and far-reaching gamer popularity. It was a step forward in the world of FPSs and we'd love to see Sony take another step and solidify the PS3's position as the leader of the genre. Of course, there have been plenty of promising FPSs this generation that have fallen well short of expectations ('cough' Haze 'cough'), so there's no guarantee that this project will be another KZ2. We're just being hopeful and optimistic, if you don't mind.

So in the future, we'll see if we can locate any information on this mystery "AAA FPS" that is currently in development.

Has Sony gone berserk!?
They're killing the industry, they should relax a bit with all these exclusives(sarcasm)
I'm calling the cops, this a straight homicide on Xbox 360 and Wii.

too true, we need more alternate titles. a decent racing arcade would be good. theres been nothing decent since burnout.

what i would really enjoy would be some interesting titles, heavy rain and unchrtd2 spring 2 mind.

You don't want another FPS but you want an interesting title like Uncharted 2?

That's a classic.

Not to worry I fully agree with you. I am a bit disenchanted with all the FPS games myself. I would much rather have more RPGs and games like that.

Cripes!…..I thought "FPS haters" were just a myth like Bigfoot, but lo and behold here you all are!…..and I don't have a camera on me.

Modern 3D gaming was pioneered by FPSers. Does all this FPS hate have to do with the fact that the wretched 360's most popular game is a FPS? Come on guys, a good FPS is a blast!…literally.

hezzron73 is right… if it weren't for id Games and their making of Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM, in the 90s, the 3D gaming world would not be the way it is today.

Well, I don't HATE FPS, I can enjoy the really good ones as much as the next guy, and they are good for gaming with friends, but yeah the distate for them isn't due to 360, its due to the oversaturation and simplicity of them. We want depth. Point and shoot only takes you so far.

fps to me are like chocolate fudge Sundays,their great but it doesn't mean that I want to eat 20 of them.

Some of the biggest selling and critically acclaimed games on the PS3 are FPSs, and some are games that have their roots in FPSs like TPSs and sandbox games like inFamous and GTA. Heck, even some of the more recent RPGs that have been good have taken on a more FPS style, like Fallout 3 and Oblivion.

The old RPG genre is full of poorly written, laughably voice acted crap, that are FF and Pokemon wannabes that get mediocre reviews at best.

Don't get me wrong, all game genres have their duds and everyone is allowed to have their preferences. It just seems unfair to knock all FPSs just for being what they are.

One thing I prefer TPS over FPS is that you can see the main character in action.

LegendaryWolfeh

but which one makes you feel more like you are the character? some people play games to want to act as the character, Mirror's Edge was a great game becuz of that. but anywayz, i don't care, lol how bout just give every game the option of FP and TP? lol

LimitedVertigo

Good idea in concept legend but when games allow for the switch from FP to TP both styles are hindered.

Nynja

What I'd like to see is a game that gives you the option to play in true FPS or TPS. I believe the MMOFPS "The Agency" will offer this.

I'm flexible, I enjoy both. Some games do belong in FPS mode (i.e.: Red Faction). Damn the guy who decided to change the game. Ruined it for me. I remember when the Geo-Mod first came out. It was a game changer, now it's just like every other destructible enviro game. See Far Cry 2, which I loved.

True limited, unless when they give you the options to choose between tp or fp, they give you fully new controls and fully new motions. i mean if it's a ps3 exclusive they could made it ;D give it like kz2 controls. it felt like a tps but was a fps

@Nynja, didn't Fallout 3 offer this? You could zoom the camera in and out of your character, so you can play the game entirely in FP or TP mode. I prefer third-person over first-person any day, so I always had it set to the TP view.

WorldEndsWithMe

Yes Big6, but for my part at least, the third person was lacking. Because first person was the main mode, putting it in third caused your character to behave as if he/she were independent of the world around him. There was nothing remotely realistic about his movement like in, say Uncharted.

in fallout 3 i remember being able to put it in 3rd person view and manipulate the camera so it would sit any where i wanted and distance over the shoulder or totally behind. i played mostly in first person as it pulled me into the game more. it also was unrealistic looking when the character walks.

I like Killzone 2 very much, but I do not want another one. Give me something solid and fresh.

Keep in mind that MAG may be the title for the current project he is on. Which would be fresh, hopefully solid.

It's a FPS on a console, that's the problem.

I don't think high quantity of FPS's on the PS3 is the problem. It's the fact that there is not enough quality ones.

Oh settle down Vertigo, the consolers like their FPSes too.
