I know a lot of PS3 fanboys will just complement this game whether it looks good or not and will exaggerate to high heaven and 360 fanboys will just bash it for no good reason. Speaking objectively as an owner of both consoles, to say this game looks absolutely incredible would be an understatement. I played the demo today and really enjoyed it but looking at these scenes certainly shows that the developer has even surpassed the visual quality of the demo. This game certainly has the potentia...

I like the Halo franchise and believe that Reach will be a great game. Reach does look better than the previous games and it does seem to have a lot of improvements over its predecessors. Who knows, it may beat K2 on gameplay. One thing is for sure though, it won't touch K2 in the graphics department. It is an impossibility because the 360 just doesn't have the processing power. I'm not mad about graphics but K2 is amazing in that field and to say Reach looks better is just b...
San Andreas Stories for PSP2. It certainly won't be for DS2 with the bad sales of Chinatown Wars.
What's in this guy's pipe? This has always been an issue for the 360. It plagues the 360 and its the main reason why there are no towns in FF13. Due to FF13 being multiplatform, the player won't be able to go back to earlier parts in the game because the dvd9 can't hold all the data. Look at Lost Odyssey. It came out two years ago and needed four discs. This has always been an issue with the 360. Its not just now that we are seeing it. ME2 needs two discs. FF13 needs 3 discs and good old Lost...
Some people may not agree with me but I think this game is bigger than Uncharted 2 when it comes to making people buy a PS3. The reason is that Uncharted 2 has direct competition in the form of Gears of War on the 360. Now I know Uncharted is better than Gears but it isn't as unique as Heavy Rain. You see, the 360 has nothing to compete with Heavy Rain. Alan Wake is a different game to Heavy Rain. It is not direct competition. There is no other game on any other platform that is directly in t...

You say Halo 3 won? It came out in 2007. Killzone 2 came out in 2009. As we go further this generation, games are reviewed harder because more is expected of them. K2 may not have the average of Halo 3 but overall, its a better game in my opinion. Halo 3 was a great game but even Modern Warfare hammered it in 2007 when it came to critical acclaim. I do expect Reach to give Killzone 2 a run for its money and it might well surpass it. It can't surpass it on graphics but like I sai...
I said it before and I'll say it again. I don't see hacking the PS3 as being a worth while thing to do. Here's why. Firstly, blank blu ray media are too expensive. Secondly, PS3 games are too big to download. Thirdly, you'd have to buy another PS3 for online use. Fourthly, it probably involves a lot of complexity to perform the hack and a risk of destroying the console. Fifthly, all multiplatform games can be acquired for free much easier on the 360 which only leaves an incentive for exclusiv...
This game may as well be considered a PS3 exclusive because it appears to be so much better on the PS3. I have both consoles and even though I can get games for free on the 360, I'm definitely getting this on PS3. I've always played FF games on Playstation consoles and this is not going to be any different. I know it started on Nintendo but the Playstation had the best iterations undoubtedly. Xbox and FF just don't match and it wouldn't feel right playing it on the 360, even if it played and ...
I'm from Ireland and I see so many people on gumtree.ie wanting to trade their 360s for ps3s. A lot of them want blu ray players but most of them want exclusives and free online. The PS3 got off to a poor start this generation but it is now officially the premium console and the console true gamers should own. The console has eventually achieved what Sony planned it to achieve and M$ better act fast because the PS3 has become one tough motherfu*ker to compete with.
MW2 is not a tactical multiplayer shooter. Team matches don't feel like team matches because players are all over the map and it isn't realistic and there is no method in the madness. Halo 3's multiplayer was at least tactical in team matches. Anyway, this game is best played on the PS3 seen as people are not playing with modded games online. I could easily mod my 360 and download a hacked version of mw2 and be invincible online but what's the point? Its no fun without a challenge. Plus I'd b...
XII didn't have a world map but its a fairly open game. To have a fully open world map like FFVIII, sacrifices might have to be made in terms of detail and believability. Abstract people like myself won't mind it though. Having an airship like the old days will be cool. Let's hope this stays exclusive to PS3 for the game to be fully realised and for the PS3 to be fully utilised.
@Bungie
Do you honestly think that Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 are not titles that Halo Reach needs to compete with? Interesting how you include Crysis and not any PS3 exclusives. The answer is simple, Halo Reach cannot and will not come close to Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2 in graphics. It may beat them in every other aspect but not in graphics. The 360 simply hasn't the hardware capabilities and Bungie can't magically change that with software. Gameplay is by far the most important featur...
Halo Reach can't match Killzone 2 in graphics on the 360. The 360's hardware isn't going to magically improve by the time Reach is out. If Bungie want to beat K2, they need to improve and innovate; gameplay, competitive multi-player, level design, co-op play and a.i. Quite simply, they need to make the game more fun to play than K2. They have done great work considering the 360's hardware limitations but how could they possibly make a game on par with K2 without a processor like the cell and ...
Due to the size of most ps3 games, its not feasible to hack it for piracy. If one had a 1tb hard disk, well then you could simply rip all games and play them for free but you would still need to rent them. The 360 is the better option for hacking. Speaking of which,I'm flashing my drive right now. Simple ideology. Buy your games for PS3, get them for free on xbox 360. Microsoft has the most to lose but I can assure you, I don't need sleeping pills to sleep.
This does not look good for SE. They have really gone down hill since FF12. The PS3 version will obviously look superior to the 360 version. The dogs on the street know that. Who do SE think their fooling? 360 fanboys like Bungie? Probably. I could get this for free on the 360 if I wanted but I'll be playing the superior PS3 version. Though after the mediocre Japanese reviews, I can't say I'm that hyped.
The more I see of and hear about this game, the more I like it. I really think this game will make or break the chances of the xbox 360's success this year. The 360 has got off to a great start with ME2 but it needs Halo Reach to deliver because the PS3's exclusives last year were nothing short of amazing. I think Bungie have what it takes to make this game bigger and better than any shooter on the market, not just in sales but in quality. What's annoying about Halo 3 is the stupid little kid...
Kane and Lynce 1.5: Revenge on the Fatty Who Shared His Opinion. That or Counter Strike 2. Both are equally likely

You can't deny that the PSN isn't a great service and that the fact its free is a bonus for the console and an attraction for gamers. Sure, xbox live is better but not by a long shot. I've been on live since 2004 and I know first hand that the difference between it and PSN is not worth $60 a year. I still pay it but PSN provides nearly everything xbox live does. Anyway, you say that COD is more competitve on xbox live. I disagree. From my experience, the gamers are more ski...
If you want to chat to your friends, go meet them in the damn pub! /jk
I don't use the cross party chat on the 360 a whole lot but it is cool. If PSN gets it, xbox live will really seem like a waste of money. There are three reasons I still play the 360. Free games, gamerscore and exclusives. Though I changed to PS3 a while ago. CGC can be funny sometimes and very useful. I once was playing L4D online and was in a party with my team players who I didn't know very well. I sucked at L4D b...
Gears is a great franchise and Microsoft need to keep it exclusive because they simply can't afford not to imo. As an owner of both systems, I think the PS3 has better exclusives but the 360 has some decent exclusives too. Seen as the PS3 has been on a rampage the last year, the 360 needs to fight back quickly or it will be in trouble competitively speaking. I see more and more people trying to swap their 360s for PS3s online and it shows the increase in popularity for the PS3. The 360 can't ...
