Sony: PS3 'purchase intent' nearly doubled since Kevin Butler campaign

Like all responsible journalists worth their salt, we're inherently distrustful of advertising and the incredible power it wields over us -- err, rather consumers. But we feel like you deserve to know that there's a special place in our coldly detached hearts for pretend PS3 pitchman Kevin Butler. And we're apparently not alone.

According to what SCEA marketing boss Peter Dille told the MI6 marketing conference in San Francisco last week, purchasing intent for the PS3 is up 36 percent since the "It Only Does Everything" campaign started last year. Now, does the price drop that accompanied the campaign figure into that? Of course. But according to IGN, Dille added, "we know from research that consumers are more educated as well."

It looks like Kevin doesn't need to sweat Craig any longer.

Oh boy, lets see.

Metal Gear Solid 4
Uncharted 1 & 2
Bioshock 1 & 2
Fallout 3
Modern Warfare 2 (to play online with people)
   or
Battlefield 2 (if you want a more realistic game)
God of War (the collection)
Heavy Rain (if you want a more cinematic game experience)
GTA 4
Street Fighter 4 (from what I hear)

There's more, I'm sure. But these will keep you busy for a while

So I downloaded and played the demo for Just Cause 2 and was not impressed with the game at all.

Does the demo just suck compared to the final retail version that's out right now?

The game got pretty good reviews from the usual gaming websites.

[h1]Call of Duty 7, according to dev[/h1]You may not realise it, but there’s a lot of juicy information aboutthe as-yet-unnamed 7th title in the Call of Duty series sitting ontheir official forums. Specifically, Treyarch dev Vahn (real name DavidVonderhaar – he’s the Multiplayer Design Director for the upcoming CoDgame) has posted several tidbits in a thread on killstreak rewards forthe forthcoming Call of Duty game – while some of this representspersonal opinion, some of what he has to say may well represent theshape that their game is beginning to take.
The main message that he wants to stress is that Treyarch do listento their community to the point that they read every single suggestionthat is put to them. It seems we can expect to see a much more roundedgame than Modern Warfare 2, as many posters on the Treyarch boards havecalled on the devs to learn from Infinity Ward’s mistakes and Vahn hasexpressed his agreement on more than one occasion.

In terms of actual game details, here’s a synopsis of what we can deduce from Vahn’s posts:

• While they’ve tried having custom killstreaks for each class, thatseemed to complicate the ‘purity and speed’ of Create a Class.
• Consequently, it’s fair to assume that customizable killstreaks are all but confirmed.
• At this stage in development, killstreaks stack and carry over if you die, but do not contribute to further killstreaks (hence eliminating the ‘camping for killstreaks’ problem of Modern Warfare 2).
• Treyarch are not fans of Commando, the extended melee range perk in Modern Warfare 2, and it is unlikely to return.
• They’ve tried a ‘manned’ version of the Sentry Gun killstreak, but weren’t fans.
• We may well see a return to pistols as the only available sidearm,or perhaps a choice between pistols and launchers. Vahn and many of theteam are not fans of shotguns and machine pistols as secondary weapons– it gives a player ‘too much firepower’.
• The knife may well become a secondary weapon – although Vahn didn’t want to say too much.
• Finally, don’t expect the nuke to return as a killstreak. Vahn says they are not fans of a game-ending killstreak

COD7 is based on Vietnam right?

Yeah, the demo could have been better.  What kinda turned me away was the desert settling, it was way too barren and void for a demo.  Had the demo started in the city or something, I would probably have a different opinion about the game.
