(Funny enough this pressure didn't apply to the launch price or date of the PS3 either). I assume this mandate would have came down before either the 360 or PS3 released, so it's wild to me that Sony felt that pressure having a PS2 that was completely dominating the Xbox and Gamecube. Which fits with the drastic art direction shift in games across all of Sony's studios pre-PS3 and makes much more sense considering the release timelines for all involved to boot.īesides wasn't it already established Epic and ND both cited Killswitch as inspiration for Gears and Uncharted long ago? The article writer pushes the idea Gears of War is the reason for sure (for some reason), but their source for the article (Former ND staffer) doesn't mention Gears at all, just "the success of gritty Xbox shooters leading to Sony pushing for more visually realistic games" prior to PS3 coming out. doesn't really read like it had anything to do with Gears of War as much as it did Halo and similar games on OG Xbox that were always more popular there than they were on PS2(Presumably the likes of Tom Clancy branded titles and such). but by the time it released it was a standard fixed camera SH game with the usual trappings of the franchise.Įeeeh. When first shown it was a Resi 4 type over-the-shoulder third person game with a different art direction from typical SH titles. Silent Hill Origins on PSP started out very differently iirc.
