AHh yeah, I get what you're saying. It makes logical sense. Resistance 2 looks great tho eh? an that's had no more than a year's dev time. Haha, still the whole "more time =  better project" :P Hmm, what do you suppose is the best time set for developing? 1 Year might be too short but.... I really hate waiting 3-4 years for a game and anything beyond that is insane.

Yeah, R2 looks great but some stuff looks like its in the early stages of development, looks good, but with time could be a LOT better.

Well since each project of theres gets around 2 years or so, they need 3 instead.

So a game comes out on January 1st of 08. Then their next game would come out on Jabuary 1st of 09. That is how it USUALLY would work, right?

Well, how about a game comes out on Jan 1 08, the next one comes out Fall of 08 (ie November). Making it a game per year, but one game comes out early in the year, the next late in the year, the next in the middle of the year, and then back to in the beginning of the year again, a great cycle..

Game A = February 2008
Game B = November 2009
Game C = July 2010
Game D = February 2011

And so on.

Wtf, what a big ass typo lol, here is what I meant;

Game A = February 2008
Game B = November 2009
Game C = August 2011
Game D = May 2013

So the same time between each game, but the month has to change. One game every other year would be good, but in the beginning/end of each year, so it won't seem like such a HUGE gap.

18 months between each game would be perfect, instead of a year, a year and a half. Although I see why they would NOT want this, because they want their games to come out in he holidays, basically.

imagine if john carmack had spent 30 years making doom, it'd be awesome!

nevermind that he'd have to rehaul it every few years and start from scratch to match the emerging technology, more time = more better!

Exactly, just imagine what they could do if you gave them three years.

I want them to make a game every other year. Summer of 09, new game, summer of 11, new game, etc. Or at least a year and a HALF between each game..

I want a real R&C sequel.

More time doesn't necessarily dictate a better game. Insomniac has a working engine and they know how to work efficiently which is why we see so many releases.

More time does, really, mean a better game. The stuff they have now? Major polish could be done.
"

So an un polished game is better then a polished one?

I am going to stop arguing with you here, Insomniac are my favorite developers out there, and you are being to defensive. The fact just IS that the games quality will not be as good as it could be because they rely on releasing a new game every year.

It's a fact; period.

Jesus... no is talking about 30 years for a game, genius.

They launch a game every year, ONE game PER YEAR is horrible for a developer because it decreases the quality and advancement in a game. I am saying make it a year and half between each game, instead of a year.
"

so, platnum hits are 30$ and affective as of right now?

Ok? I know they have separate teams, but the quality of their games are not as good as it could be if they had more time. This is fact, how are you arguing on that point?

They shouldn't release a game per year, it just makes the quality and advancement of the game less.

Resistance, defintly.

*sigh*

This is worthless, how can one deny this? They do NOT have two huge separate teams on each game, how you make it out to be. Again, one game every OTHER year would make the titles be SO much better, seriously.

This is fact, deal with it. I am not saying the games are not good right now, as I own every Insomniac game that has been put out (except the PS1 titles), I am saying they could do a lot better if they don't worry about getting a game out every holiday. Quality > Quantity. I would happily wait 3/4 of a year longer for their games.

Go with Sigma if you want some great single player action and an action game.
Go Resistance if you want a shooter and a great online game. It can also serve as a prep for Resistance 2, if you plan on getting that.

"*sigh*

then you're going to be thrilled with duke nukem forever.

idiot.

I'll be dead by then!

I need games now!

Resistance all the way!  You get a great game & multiplayer to boot.  Ninja Gaiden is a great game but in my honest opinion Resistance is the way to go...

I like Resistance more after playing NGS in a rental, but I'm going to get NGS as soon as I see it for 30 bucks.

I would get Resistance, it will be useful to know the background and characters of the story when the 2nd comes out.  Plus it has alot more replay value

Get Resistance. You can prepare for Resistance 2. =)

I've never understood the theory of playing game 1 to prepare for game 2.

you're just going to get burnt out on it.

I disagree, its for the story. Just like watching the first movie before watching the second; makes sense.

resistance's story is told terribly.

that's like watching die hard to prepare for die hard 2. its unnecessary.

Resistance

id say fall of man its a good game  i recomend it altho  sigma is a good game  fall of man is a game  that every one who has a ps3 should atleast try:P

Depends if you prefer the action hack 'n slash genre more than FPS.

Resistance. Ninja Gaiden Sigma sucks donkey balls.

You are correct sir."

How much are the PS3 Greatest Hits? I'm getting a PS3 in a few weeks and wanted to stock up on games right when I got it. I'm hoping they are keeping with the 19.99 price of the PS2 GH and not jumping it up to 29.99 like 360 did with their Platinum Hits which kind of pissed me.

"And don't call me an idiot. :)
"

But if you want one or the other; go for Resitance. It will keep your interest untill you want R2.

"Sentry said:

But he's right, you are an idiot.
On topic, you can get either of these games dirt cheap used. I got a pristine used copy of Resistance for like 17$. Even though I haven't played Ninja Gaiden.. I would recommend Resistance."

Just note what color their names are.. :\

Mmm, I see. I've got mine in blue, I constantly wonder if I should switch it, it just attracts tars.
