The only thing available during the 1st year on the 360 that was worth a console purchase was Gears. The AAA titles for the 360 are coming just before it's second birthday... talk about a wait.
You can't honestly expect AAA PS3 games after the first few months! That's just utterly insane. The newly released 360 games have been in development since before the PS3 was even released, what do you expect from the PS3? lol You want a miracle game cannon that fires AAA titles from th...
I appreciate what you're trying to point out but I disagree. I'll explain why I disagree because I think that's only right. It may be a long reply but please take the time to read as I have taken the time to reply in detail...
"The PS3 costs the most but provides the least usability."
Really?
Can I watch HD movies on a 360 out of the box? No I can't.
Can I use bluetooth devices on the 360 (Like standard bluetooth headsets)? No I can't, they have ...
Just hope this game gets a proper review, unlike the hype fuelled review of Bioshock. E.g Halo 3 is better than Bioshock but no game can get an 11 so there's a review that was rather screwed up.
R&C looks awesome. I may just have to get this at some point. Dunno if it'll be a first day purchase for me as I have many other games to get stuck into over the coming months and don't have the sort of money to throw out freely on games.
R&C will get good reviews...
You mean the art style right?
R&C doesn't have Halo graphics... in fact I think R&C looks better than Halo 3 due to the ambient background graphics going on while playing. It looks good up close too, but there's always something going on in the background that looks amazing and makes the game look all the better.
There's a difference in comparing art styles (e.g cartoon, realistic, cell-shaded) and the graphics (e.g HD res, texture quality, animation deta...
Rockstar will have a 'Gone Gold' announcement in late March with the game released in April.
The PS3 will get some 'city expansion' downloadable content in September and the 360 will get the new episodes by the end of June.
I can do it too... this time travel business.
Since the PS3 has a removable/replacable HDD you could theoretically have an infinite number of different SKU's.
I expect the card readers to go, the wifi will stay since it's cheap to implement and it's a 1up on the 360. The USB slots will remain the same since they're also cheap to include.
The BC will be severely cut though and I think this will be the biggest difference in terms of value, "Do you want to play PS2 games on your PS3? Get the more expensive...
The 360 blockbusters are arriving two years after release. The PS3 and Wii haven't been out for more than a year, in a year's time we'll be seeing the PS3 pumping out the blockbusters like KZ2 FFXIII and GT5 (I also expect LBP to make a huge impact on the industry) and the 360 has nothing to counter those.
So you see this is a double edged sword, the 360 has just released it's best titles (possibly the best of its lifetime) and the PS3 will release its best titles next year, co...
lol Bloodmask continues the 'MGS4 coming to 360' rumour marathon with a picture.
"I guess Ratchet and Clank will also be a 6 since its graphics are even more "toony" than Halo's."
The graphics rating isn't based off of how realistic it looks, but how good it looks.
If you've actually seen R&C you'll notice that in the background there is always stuff going on, and it makes the game look ace. The overall look of R&C is awesome, it's very polished graphically. Best looking game of its genre, I haven't seen another pl...
I can't wait for this game! It's a must buy for me!
GotY candidate too in my eyes. Best FPS this year? Looks likely... The realism, the graphics, the multiplayer, the situation, the overall idea of the story and what you're involved in makes this game the best in its field imo.
Bring on November!
Here we go again guys, Halo's name preceeds it and as much as I want it to be congratulated for it's in-game merits rather than because it's 'supposed to be the best game ever' I seriouly doubt I'll read or hear anything new about this game's features other than "It looks kinda good, sounds fantastic and the MP is a thing of greatness", that'll be the overused line for the coming few weeks.
10/10 yet they say it looks like a HD version of Halo 2... If it doesn't look ...
Mars I prefer variety in the gaming industry. If a console has to rely on one type of game (Shooters) and in particular one game (Halo 3), then I'm sorry but that console is a one trick pony in my book.
At least Heavenly Sword and Lair have offered something new for the gamers. The 360 is living in the FPS and 3rdPS world and it's a world I'd rather not get stuck into. I've played enough shooters thanks, I want variety and the PS3 is the only console that offers gamers that. Ni...
This coming from a PS3 guy so no real system bias:
I'm guessing that Halo 3 will be better than Metroid also.
If Halo 3's soundtrack is as good as suggested then I think it should be congratulated for it. For example, Bioshock's audio is something that people have overlooked in reviews saying it's a graphical phenom when in fact it's the audio that makes the game good.
As for crowning Halo 3 GOTY before we even get the ball rolling on this year's holiday releases is a sign of the sheer magnitude of how much this game means to people. While I have a PS3 and won't be playing Halo 3 (neve...
Anyone know if Skate is 60Hz only?
PAL and 50Hz in the UK are standard. While I do have a TV that supports 60Hz I was just wondering if it worked at 50, since it'll be B&W for me otherwise...
Sony know they can earn a megaton from us in Europe with the conversion rate so I don't think they'll drop the price just yet.
While I fully agree with you Hizzy, I don't think we'll see a price drop in Europe yet, unfortunately...
"This is why I feel sorry for ps3 owners. They have a 1st gen blu-ray player in their ps3, but 3rd gen blu-ray players are coming out now. Since the ps3 drive is internal, theres nothing you can do about it."
You're getting caught up on the movie aspect. Since the games are on Blu-Ray too it doesn't matter whether the standalone players move on technologically because blu-ray games (up to 50GB) can still be made for the first PS3's.
So feeling sorry fo...
MS have shot themselves in the foot here. What they're basically saying is that this gen ends after the holiday season...
Microsoft will claim they've won after this holiday season so that if Sony sell more PS3's after another year, MS can say, 'Ok you've won this year but we won last year', that's just sad.
MS have jumped the gun big time by mouthing off about winning the 'war'. The 360 has been out for 2 years worldwide, while the PS3 has only been available f...
You've missed out the fact that Sony couldn't implement the rumble they wanted because of a rather large problem with Immersion and the courts and what not.
"What stopped them adding this in development? Thats the question someone should be sticking to them."
Well there's your answer AndrewR. They couldn't legally do it. However, they can now because the case has been settled, so they've immediately gone to work on the rumble.
Personally,...
...by the time TS4 is released the PS3 will have entered it's exponential phase of growth, that being next year. The 360's second year has already shown a large growth in the unit sales from the previous year, the same thing will happen to the PS3.
If you disagree with me about the PS3 becoming more popular you're somewhat deluded because its popularity is already growing and after the price drop and new SKU the popularity will rise right through into late 2008, by that time th...
