I was talking with someone today about this. What I like about IGN is that they have PS3 team, xbox team, Nintendo team. PS3 team guys clearly game on PS3 and like PS. As it should be.
While on most other sites 95% if the guys are xbox guys, and don't have connection with PS history. For example I was listening to IWalls today on GT. It was predictable I knew they were going to dismiss it, second guess it, mock it. In all honesty they do that with all Sony exclusives (did same crap with GOWA last week).
Every big site should hire a couple of guys that game on PS3 and care about PS like IGN PS3 guys do. It's really sad how GT is atm. Geoff is the only nice guy over there, but then he kinda doesn't work for GT
I'm pretty sure all I said was I didn't understand why it took Sony this long to make their own version of Super Smash Bros, and that I don't think it's going to do anywhere near the sales (I said successful, but that's my word for sales) as Smash Bros. Back in Sony's heyday at the height of PS2's dominance, a counter to Melee might have had a chance to overshadow Smash. Sony's been knocked off the pedestal this generation, and it's not likely PASBR can match Melee or Brawl's numbers.
Also, Nintendo has more iconic, well-known characters to the average person than Sony. I said I wasn't discrediting Sony - there is a lot of history and lot of great characters they can throw into this game -but they don't have as much mainstream character appeal that Nintendo's characters have. Plus, a lot of the iconic games I associate with PS1 and PS2 were that were exclusives then are now multi-platform. I'd still like to see them in this game somehow. As soon as I start seeing more of the PS1-era characters, I'll probably start getting more excited for this.
Plus, if you watched the first take videos, it was said that it's way too early to draw any real conclusions about this game's quality, and we didn't have near enough time with it. Not sure where you also get the impression I'm an "XBOX" guy, either.
