Once again, I hoped for the best with PS3, and only bought a 360 to tide me over to see if the PS3 would do as well as I expected. But the coffin is closing, and it doesn't look good. We might only be in round 6 of the heavyweight bout but sony's eyes are swollen shut and can't seem to get off the ropes. There's still time, but they better get someone to make them a decent game.
With PS2, they had the better game lineup with the weaker system, but they got the headstart on xbox. This time it's the exact opposite.

As pointed out in another thread PS3 has sold more since it's existence then the 360 did in the same time frame.

Have you seen the new one coming out on 360 and PS3?

Force Unleashed?

It looks freakin amazing.

http://au.ps3.ign.com/articles/770/770782p1.html

after watching the videos on the technology they use, I think Force Unleashed has become the most anticipated game for me.
It is just something beyond conventional gaming.

lol, you're delusional. Even if the PS3 ends up better, at this current moment it's not even close. Ps3 doesn't even have one good game out. Nobody owns one. What exactly does it have going for it at the moment? Anything at all?
Like I said, I'd love to become a believer, but it just isn't happening.

No Gunny, haven't seen anything on that one. I'll have to look it up.

Resistence is a good game.

VF and Tekken aren't too bad either.
PS3 has released a few games that have gotten good ratings.

But remember the 360 only had oblivion until Gears of War came out.

The Gloat

True. But Gears isn't even 360's big title that everyone was anticipating. Sony should've kept the exclusives to Grand Theft Auto, because that helped a lot in the past.
That Star Wars game looks great from what we can see so far. All the detail in movements is a good sign of things to come.

GTA is one of the most over-hyped games around anyway (especially San Andreas)

Force Unleashed looks different, and I think it has potential. The action did not look as intense as something like gears of war. So the key will be the story. It may have to hold all this force fighting together.

Yes, but they haven't yet. I do think that we'll start seeing great games for the PS3 soon. But as of right now, the PS3 isn't in a position to own anyone. Plus, don't forget that the 360 is getting a few good games of it's own too.

Toly
03-08-2007, 10:18 AM
Nobody owns one.

So everybody owns a 360 and nobody owns a PS3, which means that nobody owns a Wii... interesting thought.

But Gears isn't even 360's big title that everyone was anticipating.

Gears and Oblivion were the two most anticipated titles for the 360 since the console's launch as far as I'm concerned.

Well, at least it's mildly entertaining to see you fight over which gaming console is better, when it really doesn't matter. Both will stay until the time their successors are released. I mean it's not like MS or Sony are going to admit defeat, close up shop and sell all their exclusive licenses to the counterpart.

Besides, if everybody just realised that the PC is the superior platform, you wouldn't have to worry whether certain games would be restricted to certain platforms :ha: (hehe, couldn't resist)

Gunny
03-09-2007, 07:47 PM
PC is no doubt superior, I just hate installing, upgrading and using a mouse/keyboard to play games.

It's just easier to pop in a game, press start and your done.

It's not about what console is better, it's about the games. It always has been.

People who fight over which console is better are usually the ones who already own a console. It's a way of reassuring themselves that they made the right choice, I guess.

Do you read what I wrote? Or do you just read what you want to. I said when PS3 releases their games, it won't even be close. Most people are not buying a PS3 until the games they want come out, and when that happens I bet you PS3 will dominate the sales against 360.

Im talking bout games like Castlevania, Devil May Cry 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Grand Turismo 5, GTA 4, Metal Gear 4, Resident Evil 5, and more.

The point I am trying to make is people are waiting for said games to come out, before they buy there ps3.

The Gloat
03-10-2007, 06:31 PM
Resident Evil will be available for all. GTA 4 will be available for all. Castlevania? If sony is banking on Castlevania, they are in fact doomed. Final Fantasy still has a cult of players, but not enough to help fight off a far better lineup. Metal Gear might just suck as bad as the last one. Grand Tourismo's last game sucked too, and GT's are a dime a dozen these days. See: Forza, Project Gotham, etc. Not much else you can do for a realistic racing game.


And yes, we all know that the PC is superior, but FAR less convenient.

I will jump in and say that 360 is winning the War right now. GRAW 2 - Gears (biggest selling game in 06), soon Guitar hero 2 and Halo 3. Let me just say that Halo 3 will probably sell more than any other game in history. Where I work, we have about 20 gamers. 15 own 360's, 4 PS3's and 1 Wii.

Gunny
03-18-2007, 07:10 PM
I don't think any game will ever touch Mario for most game sold ever.

And to sell the most ever it actually has to sell more than 4 million consoles first.

ammotroop
03-19-2007, 04:56 PM
Ok, Gunny, let me re-phrase my statement. It will probably sell more games in the first MONTH than any other game released. I understand what you are saying about Mario... my whole statement is that this game is going to be off the CHAIN, and everyone who owns a 360 will probably buy one. Halo is the main reason people go to 360.

i have an x-box and my favourite game on that isn't even announced for the 360 and I am not that big of a fan of FPS which it seems that a lot of 'i can't wait for this game' is a FPS.

I like them I just find them all the same.

I think the Wii is a nice change up from normal pad gaming, but id take a PS3 or #60 over it(I have a 360, advanced package version, and I love it), but i think the nod goes to 360 between 360a dn Ps3, but not by alot, thats just my take

There were sci-fi shooters before Halo. This looks like it'll blow the previous Halos out of the water, and actually seeing footage for Halo 3, it looks like it'll blow Halo 3 out of the water as well.

Halo's considered the GOAT. Many people bought the 1st gen xbox for Halo alone, and many bought the 360 just because of Halo 3. Yeah, it's pretty hard to blow Halo out of the water. :)

Well people are stupid. Halo 1 was the most dull, repetitive game I've ever played and didn't add a single new thing to the gaming industry. Only cool or fun thing about the game was racing the buggies.

"Fractured" looks a little lame at this point. While I appreciate what I assume to be a serious physics engine, I don't see how it can drive a game in of itself. It would probably be popular with the online crowd, at least for a while.

You're right Gunny, they do. Well, maybe not MGS, but many ps owners think GodofWar/2 are the best. It's a simple game, and the new Conan game will be just as good as it is, but to say it's not that impressive because of that would just be wrong, wouldn't it?

you're opinion, think whatever you want.

but God of War actually has a good storyline, can't say the same for Halo.

Halo is only popular because of it's online. If it didn't have that it would be just a mediocre shooter.

Same with Gears from what I hear.

I played through multiple games with no online heaps of times. I played through Final Fantasy VII 8 times.

WRONG!! The casual gamers are not the ones that spend hours playing online. There are a lot more who play games for their offline abilities than online. Unfortunately the "hardcore" gamers are also the most vocal, so as a developer you have to walk a thin line between satisfying the loud minority or the silent majority. Give either side too much and the game will fail.
