That's one expensive remote.
Nice set up. I have something similar: a 40" LCDTV with a PC and PS3 hooked up. I have it all on a large desk in my room. We have a larger 51" TV in the living room that I bring the PS3 down when we have guests that would like to game (I have two sets of PS3 wires, making it really easy).
Great post Krayzie Bone. Multi-platform gaming is the way to go. For me, I'm primarily a PC gamer, but I got a PS3 as a "sidekick" because of it's great exclusives. 360 seemed redundant for me since a lot of their exclusives are also on PC which left very few that appealed to me to justify a purchase (plus the yearly fee didn't help). The Wii isn't in HD so that's a big turnoff for me.
However, that doesn't mean I don't respect the other ...
For me, the first rig I made was to play BF1942 and the fantastic Desert Combat Mod (which heavily influenced BF2). A few years later, I made my first upgrade so I could play Half Life 2 and BF2 maxed out. Those two games alone made me a PC gamer for life.
Oh, funny thing, like your post mentioned, I started as a console gamer. First one was a Genesis, then the PSone and later a PS2. Once I got into PC gaming in '02, though, I started playing the consoles less, so I held ...
Why not have both? System requirements aren't that hard to figure out plus you can use controllers on a PC. I like having a gaming PC and a PS3, so I have access to plenty of great games. Having just one platform is too limiting to me. Everyone who can afford it should own two: a console plus gaming PC or two consoles.
I love having a gaming PC and a console (PS3). That way, I get the best of both worlds.
And the excellent Vietnam expansion sealed the deal.
And I believe Captain Hindsight found out from Captain Obvious.
I respect your choice and see the logic in it: having both consoles covers a lot of bases. For me, just substitute a PC for your 360 and we're about the same. It's only that I prefer shooters (and RTS) on the PC due to, in my opinion, superior controls offered by a keyboard/mouse. I also have to admit that the better graphics, higher resolutions and frame rates are a great bonus. So, I do most my gaming on the PC, but I also really enjoy the PS3 exclusives and 2011 looks like a great ...
@Hozi89, I do see the appeal of the Move and it could be a possible purchase for me in the future. However, I don't like how it's implemented in the games you mention (MAG, KZ3). I like the aim to stay centered and the camera to move with the cursor (like standard FPS, TPS games). It looks really weird to me when the cursor can move around the screen without the camera moving and how you have to move it to the side of screen to get the camera to move. Looks very disorienting to me. If...
You're right about advertising....$500 million can make a difference. Sony rather invest that kind of money in 1st party studios and great exclusives. Look at the incredible PS3 line-up for 2011 (it's going to hurt alot of people's wallets). I know which one I'd rather support. Hint: I went with the games.
I agree digitalivan and have to add big "who cares"? Motion gaming has absolutely no appeal to me and could care less on who is winning. Never bought a Wii and never will. Why would I buy a motion control setup now? I'm primarily a PC gamer because I like the precision that a keyboard/mouse gives you (the better graphics, resolution and frame rates are also a definite plus). I also own a PS3, but the standard DS controller is superior to the Move in my view. Of the three, I thin...
I'm primarily a PC gamer and I'd have to say not much of a fanboy. Sure, there are some PC elitist, but the majority of PC gamers just love games. Frankly, we don't really care who "wins" the console war; we're more fanboys of games and the developers who make them. For some, it's Betheseda, or Bioware, or whoever your favorite game maker is. For me, it's DICE, because I think they make some of the MP games around.
I do own a PS3, but that...
I agree and here's a great quote from the article: "It’s really hard to imagine that I’m going to play a future edition of Medal of Honor, or Call of Duty, or Battlefield, hiding behind my couch, making a gun out of my finger. I’ve tried driving with gesture-based controls; I don’t really like it."
My thoughts exactly. Gesture-based controls are just too inaccurate for core games. That's why I stick with my controller for console games and keyboard/mouse for...
This is a great quote from the article: "Also, I own several consoles and PC’s. Both have their place; Racing, Beat ‘em Up, Arcade Games, Anything without in-depth game play: Console / Controller is superior. Strategy, FPS, RPG, anything with in-depth game play: PC with Mouse & Keyboard is vastly preferred."
That's just about exactly how I am. I have a gaming PC and a PS3 and believe it's the best of both worlds. I'd get a 360, but I think it's r...
The article didn't say Kinect was directly responsible, but rather that the combination of the cheap drive that the 360 uses plus the jumping around that Kinect games encourage may cause the disc scratching.
Nah, I like women in bathing suits, but hate motion controls.
I guess you have a type of gun (the Portal gun), but where is the shooter part other than opening up portals? I always considered Portal as more of puzzle game than FPS. Maybe, they could have used one of the "honorable mentions" instead. Anyways, Battlefield 3 will be at the top of my anticipated list, but there looks to be lots of good FPS's to look forward to in 2011.
I game on the PC and PS3, so I like getting my online gaming free on both....like it's supposed to be. I considered getting a 360, but I do most of my gaming on the PC. Most of the 360 exclusives and multi-plats are on also on PC, so I have those covered. I believe the PS3 has better and more diverse lineup of exclusives, plus they are truly exclusive. So, for me, it didn't make much sense to pay $50-60 a year to play a few games on the 360. If you are a PC gamer looking for a console...
"hundreds of titles in developement we will soon see in late spring". Really delusional if you think there are hundreds of titles in development let alone releasing by late spring. You'd be lucky to see a dozen new Kinect games released in the entire year....and probably not any worth playing. I have yet to see a Kinect game that I'd want to play.
