Which Multiplayer action games are you picking up for PS3 2010 Poll

[Fujit]

Well as the title mentions, which action multiplayer games are you gonna pick up the coming days/months ?

As the huge Alien  (original franchise) fan I am, I'm gonna pick up AvP 3 and if released Aliens: Colonial Marines  .
Playing marine campaign in the AvP 2 game was really scary when it came out. Colonial marines is stripping away everything with AvP series except the marine side, to make it a really good experience.

But, since that game has no definite release date I will have to go with AvP 3 for the moment, interspecies multiplayer is gonna kick butt 

I've tried the MAG beta and it was okay, it was limited to 64 people, so I did not get the full 256 player experience, which can change my opinion for this game.

Played the Lost Planet 2 COOP beta with a friend and it was really good. Just waiting for reviews on this one.

And to what game is possible (likely) replacing MW2, Bad Company 2. This game has had some good videos up on the net, but since I have not personally played anything from this game I can't say that much. But trailer looks good tho 

And lastly on my list for multiplayer games is, Bioshock 2 (story is probably excellent tho), they are introducing a multiplayer component for the second installment of this franchise. How will pan out?  we will know next month.

So vote people, for which one/ones you are going to pick up and why. And if your not picking up anything from the list I made, then what are you picking up and why? Hype up your choice and make me and others interested in that game 

And for those of you who do not know what I am talking about  , here are some videos  :

I'm a sort of 'none of the above' person, Fujit.

[Fujit]

Then Rik, you are missing out on some good entertainment 

[Rik]

I've never been a gamer, despite having written one for Acorn in 1984. I guess I'm too interested in photography to devote the time to it.

[Fujit]

Photography is a cool too 

As long as everybody is happy 

[Rik]

We are.

[Supanova]

Not a console fan but I will be picking up BFBC2 for the PC. Me and my clan are hoping it will come to the rescue in wake of the complete and utter disaster that is MW2.

Yea, MW2 really dropped the ball with akimbo 1887 with a effective killrange of 50 meters (one shot kill) 

Bad company 2, seems (from the videos) to be better then MW2, but its hard to tell beforehand how it is going to be.
Console is great for third person game IMO, like the stickcontroller. Also the PS3 is a good media center with its Blu ray and streaming capabilities

Thats what mine is used for

[Stevescat]

Rik, what type of game did you write for the acorn? Was it your idea or were you the programmer? Was it published? When do you think we might see an Xbox port? 

[Rik]

It was a variant on the Lisa program, Steve, which had two characters in it who could be personalised to produce different types of conversation, you could create more than two, but only two could be active. I was just the programmer, it was thought up by a guy from the OU, and it was called Talkback. There's no chance of it being ported I don't think, apart from anything else, we had to slow it down to run on the Beeb.

[Stevescat]

Don't suppose you still have a working acorn do you Rik, because there's a copy of Talkback going for £4.99 on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TALKBACK,ACORN-ELECTRON,COMPLETE_W0QQitemZ160394475174QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxq20100113?IMSfp=TL100113232002r36476

[Rik]

You'll even find a credit for me on the pack - I insisted.

[Stevescat]

Not tempted then Rik, for old time's sake?

[Rik]

I've got a copy somewhere, and I did convert it to run on a 286, but I've long since lost that version.

[Supanova]

Someone mentioned Bioshock 2 earlier in the thread, well it's on this weekends special offer on steam. Pre-order for £26.99 for anyone who prefers steam to disks.

[Fujit]

Yea, I am no steam user (don't like the setup they are running). I like to have the physical disc of whatever movie or game I purchase, i case of harddrive failures and such.


And by the way, do anybody see the poll options or ? Cause nobody has been voting, and I'm wondering if there is a glitch of some sort hehehehe

[Simon]

No glitch, just the sound of creaking bones.

I am not a console fan either, I prefer the PC as it is far superior on a high spec system and I have several FPS games for the PC on order with Amazon awaiting release.

Crysis 2
Max Payne 3
Metro 2033
Medal of Honor (but that is not due until October.

Hehehehe, yea might be that.

Yea, I'm quite the opposite. I like to use my PC for strategy games, and my PS3 for everything else  . I used to be a PC only kinda guy, but to keep updating my rig just so the latest game would flow perfectly took a toll on my wallet, so I picked up the PS3, just to try it out and it turned out great.

Yea, the games are abit more expensive on the console, but it all balances out when I don't need to keep my rig top notch. Tho, a occasional upgrade here and there does happen ( I do like building my rigs  )

[Supanova]

I signed in for the early PC beta of Battlefield Bad Company 2 with play.com (£26.99). Should be getting access tomorrow and I am raaaaather excited. This will be my first battlefield game and it looks extremely good from the gameplay videos I have seen so far.

I'll post back with first impressions as soon as I obtain them  

[Lona]

The first game I played on a Playstation 1 was 3D Lemmings.

I had completed all the lemmings on pc so it was great doing the 3D version on the Playstation.

[Fujit]

Yea, the lemmings games could be addictive   , "....Have to save them all............", but I never heard of the 3D version until now

This would be your first Battlefield game,..............you should really try out Battlefield 2 our if you can get your hands on Battlefield 1942 (original). These games were so great, until (as usual) the cheaters started clogging up the servers. I hope Bad company 2 will live up to those previous games (weren't a fan of battlefield 2142 i think it was?)

But no new battlefield games intro can beat the original, that intro got me all pumped up before every game

I'm surprised you've never heard of it.  It was one of the first games for playstation 1.
