-.- The only thing that I find annoying about this is their whole '' this could ONLY be done on the PS3" thing.that just sucks.. but the game looks really awesome.

yay

I wonder what will turn out better, this or Prototype?
SJSchmidt93on May 13, 2009 at 7:03 p.m.
Nice. Gettin' this one for sure.

@PlasticCow: If they are using the Cell cores and more than 8GB for data, then he is correct. It wouldn't be possible to do it anywhere else.

This looks so much better than Prototype and makes me want a PS3

yoyo

alsnuts2on May 13, 2009 at 7:11 p.m.
Ok my only question is, could this be on any system other than PS3?
TwoOneFiveon May 13, 2009 at 7:21 p.m.
i'm so glad i've been looking forward to this more than prototype because its totally clear now which one is superior. that other delayed piece of crap can't match this match kind of pure gameplay.

Hell Yeah!

I'm a PS3 boy myself, but I find it so funny how the first two minutes of this video is the Sucker Punch people basically sucking off the Playstation 3.
giyanks22on May 13, 2009 at 7:33 p.m.
I'd consider buying a PS3 for this game...if i could afford it.

Time to dust off the ol'  PS3. Really liked the Sly Cooper series. I have confidence that this will be a quality product as well.

This game is the reason I own a PS3.

Sad, but whatever.

Damn this game keeps getting more and more interesting

PS3 PS3 PS3 PS3 PS3.  PS3 PS3 PS3 PS3, PS3 PS3.  PS3 PS3.  PS3 PS3 PS3 PS3 PS3 PS3.  PS3 PS3, PS3 PS3 PS3 PS3.  PS3.

That is the first half of the video... Thankfully it gets better after that.

if the cell processor is being used (which it clearly is) and obviously this would not fit on one 360 disc. Yes. Truly this could only be done on the PS3. Get used to it xbots.

Really excited about this game.  Have it preordered.
