The only game that has a chance is Darksiders. http://www.darksidersthegam...
Who decided that Ninjas fight mythological beasts and what not? This is why I don't like Ninja Gaiden and won't like this one. The world and environments are all wrong for Ninjas.
What happened to Ninjas assanitating, er people, and fighting Kung Fu dudes?
For fighting mythological beasts, etc. I'll wait for Darksiders.
The cheapest config I can put together that's worth having is $794
That's the base unit for $499 plus 2.1GHz 800Mhz CPU, Wireless N (why bother without it, it's for living room), Wireless Keyboard/Mouse.
I kept the standard 1G RAM (only because I have extra DDR 2 laying around) and 160G Hard Disk.
I would use it primarily for Media Center Recording and Living room web browsing. But at these prices, I'll keep waiting for PS3's Play TV and keep using my de...
Threads like this are making me want to go rent it just to see who's really full of S*#*
I bought the first one in the bargain bin - Platinum Hit. Didn't know it was so good. I would have paid full price if I knew it was as good as it turned out to be. Sucks until you figure out how to make your weapons last and I could live without the timerz and poor save mechanics.
It's my favorite game on Xbox. Even over Gears. (this doesn't not count XBLA Games)
I was never able to shoot down the Helicopter and get that Achievement though.
I'll buy DR2 on PS3 (as long as it has trophies) and I would also buy DR1 for a second time to complete it on PS3.
After seeing the Kratos and Nariko downloadable sackboys, LBP will do well. I'll get it just to get all the downloadable sackboys. Will it be a monster hit? That depends on the gameplay. But it will be a success based on hype, uniqueness, and cool factor alone.
I blogged about why the PS3 should do a Dark Knight edition with the Bluray when its available. Got lukewarm response, thought there might be interest in PS3 camp knowing MS may already be on it. Of course, they can never bundle the Bluray...
You're right, the price drop alone won't have the brutal impact. The combinaton of $199 Xbox and Gears on Nov 7. may.
Basically, RRoD will be a non-factor and soon forgotten, Bluray is being marginalized, and a loud clumsy console with no HD Audio/Video is still commanding the next-gen. That's brutal. Again, this is assuming Sony has no response. I don't think it has to be price, they need games. If Sony has no significant response between the September price drop and Nov. 7, I...
We're talking next-gen consoles. I don't consider Wii a next-gen console. And you're right, I don't feel that the next-gen exclusives MGS and Gran Turismo (Prologue, for now) have the impact on the industry that GOW and Halo do.
Alex, I am not denything that the PS3 has great games. When I say the only exclusives that matter, I'm referring to the industry as a whole. Uncharted, MGS, Killzone, Resistance, are great games, but they're not the events that Halo and GOW are. If MS acquired any of those titles on Xbox, only Sony would care. MGS coming over would make noise for about a week. If Sony got Halo or GOW, it would rock the industry. That's what I mean when I say the only exclusives left that really matter are GOW...
Sorry but, MGS isn't in the same league as GOW and Halo on next-gen platforms. Not talking the game itself, but it's impact on all aspects of the industry and it relates to the current generation of gaming. In fact, nothing currently on the PS3 is in the league of GOW and Halo, not MGS, not Uncharted, nothing. That's my opinion.
I wouldn't call them Lazy. Development costs money. Everyone isn't EA. Why wouldn't developers use tools that are easier to use and utilize skills that can also be used on other platforms?
Microsoft excels at developer tools and supporting developers. It appears Sony does not. As it becomes more profitable, more developers will invest in learning the PS3 architecture and how to code for it well. Unfortunately, all that investment can only see an ROI once. Sony sales. Whereas de...
I'm getting Geometry Wars 2 on XBLA. Then I'll think about Soul Calibur. I'll prolly get it once the Yoda/Vader DLC is finalized. If PS3 version has trophy support, I'll buy it on PS3 or else it's 360.
I think the PS3 is more starved for good games right now so its sales should be more brisk on good new games
Hmmm, in that big long list I'm only interested in:
God of War III
Valkyria Chronicles
Heavenly Sword (2)
Wipeout HD (forgot that one)
That's a little better than Xbox:
Gears of War 2
Dead Rising (2)
Most of the games I want are now multiplatform so it's more a matter of which console do I want to invest in. With Bluray, I'll probably by most cross platform games for the PS3.

You know that is an excellent post. The cultural differences in business may be why Sony, having the upper hand and all the weapons, just can seem to knock MS out when they're clearly on the ropes. They just don't have that ... mmmmpphh.
I mean put it in perspective, PS3 has Bluray, HD Audio, and when developers feel like doing the wor, better graphics. Yet Xbox is still the kin...
>>Ummm...psn does have geometry wars, Its call Super Stardust, and is >>way more challenging than Geometry Wars
::grin::
StarDust (I own it) is not Geometry wars. StarDust is technically superior with regards to sound and graphics. But gameplay ... we'll just have to disagree on that one.
Why is buying great games for your platform sad? That's smart. Dude, if Sony would get Geometry Wars on PSN I'd buy it in a sec. I'd rather have it on PS3 and get trophies than on XBLA with Achievements. But ...
Microsoft is simply better at business than Sony right now. Sony needs to get a business backbone. Sony is conducting business like the company is made up of senior citizens, while Microsoft is Kickin' A## and taking names.
First off let me say I think PS3 has the superior hardware and more potential. But that hasn't been realized yet. I'm still waiting for Wipeout HD ...
"MS has Too Human, Gears2, Banjo, Ninja Gaiden."
Those are on the same line bu tnot in the same leagues. Gears 2 will rule 2008 and early 2009 (if RE5 doesn't deliver, it will rule well into 2009). Gears is still the definitive next-gen game. KZ2 and Resistance simply aren't in Gears' league. The PS3 has ...
Ninja (Yeah!), fighting (I'm all yours), Aliens (huh? You lost me). I guess it's just me, but there's something wrong with Ninjas fighting aliens.
Give me a Ninja in more of a Prince of Persia environment and I'm in.
