Here's a few facts. Any game will be better if it's exclusive to any platform. You can work out gameplay issues and performance issues to tune the performance to be the best it can be on the system. That is a fact.

Second, just as many devs have said that it's significantly harder to port for the PS3. Liken it to climbing. Sure you'll have 5 people that can climb everest, but you'll have 20 that never get close, and some that die horribly on the way. Does that make the 50 or so t...

When DVD's came out they had about 1/5th the market. A lot of third and second world countries are just industrializing and opening up a crap ton of market share.

I'm sure if you took the two starts and divided them by the number of potential electronic customers blu-ray would be getting crushed right now.

So DD is going to fail because it's alternative (DD) is far superior to it?

DD isn't synonymous with the 360. The 360 isn't even the device that's probably going to do much for DD. Look to M$'s next console/future PCs/new devices for a device that'll bring DD to the forefront.

It would go to both consoles. You don't really need too much to branch from a PC to a 360, so it's only logical that they would extend to both the 360 and PS3.

There's also little motivation outside of sony paying them to go exclusive to PS3. 360 sells more software, and is easier to port to from a PC. It would be kind of stupid for them to put extra resources into a PS3 version and NOT do a 360 version.

not especially. The 360 version doesn't have as warm a tint to it, but the colors aren't "washed out".

I took the 360 version of the picture into gimp, and changed one setting. I turned down the green/magenta balance to -21, and the colors are EXACTLY the same, with one major exception. The 360 version is quite a bit more detailed than the PS3 version.

edit: I'm trying to attatch the images, but it's not working. Gimme a minute to host them.

don't do it in front of a black tarp. if you must hang something, use a white sheet or something that won't look as much like you nailed a tarp to a wall.

And practice more. You could probably cut out 25% of the time if you practiced on your delivery.

Also, I don't care about you, I care about games. Voiceovers will do you better in the long run. Get some gameplay movies off the internet or video capture some, go into moviemaker (free) and do ur show that way.

Star Wars the force unleashed looks better on almost every level(visual style, graphics, physics, gameplay, animation, AI) imo, and that's a multi-platform game.

Long development times are hurting a bunch of PS3 exclusives. This doesn't look nearly as exceptional as it would have if it were released even 6 months ago, Killzone 2 would have been a graphical benchmark if it were released at launch, but they've both had to develop far longer than they anticipated.

This game looks a lot more like a shooter than a stealth game. In past ones you could use a lot of shooter strategy and elements if you were really good, but it looks like it got bumped up to a core part of the gameplay in this one.

Also, the colors are bad. They need to do something to make the bad guys stand out a little from the background. I'm not saying make them bright red, but just up their saturation or make their average color a little bit darker. Light gray/gray on gray...

That's not necessarily a good thing. Designing a game to work in every shooter genre can hurt it a lot in the long run. It's hard to do good level/game design when you don't know how each person is going to go through the level. You could make a level that would be absolutely amazing if you snuck through it, but then it'll lack for people that want to run and gun through it.

This demo was too short to really say anything about the game (and the guy playing it wasn't doing a good ...

Look at retailers. There aren't Sony/M$ bundles, but there are retail bundles EVERYWHERE pretty much.

they say there is less pop in, and the lighting is different. That is not enough at all to warrant it "running and looking better on the PS3".

That's about the same as saying a car is better than another car because one has dirt on the wheels.

Didn't we already know it's easier to port from PS3>360 than the other way around? A lot of devs have started doing PS3 first because of that. I'm not sure when they started doing it that way, but I think it was sometime in the last year when the majority switched over.

Doing PS3 first makes a smaller disparity between the games. From the developer/consumer POV, that's 2 games that are good, or one good game and one game plagued with bugs/performance issues.

any game would be a lot better if it were exclusive to any system. Every multiplatform game REGARDLESS of what systems it's put on will suffer from this.

I've heard the PS3 version has sold out many places, but there were also a lot fewer PS3 versions of the game shipped to europe. Those are both factors that need to be taken into account. One says it's selling a lot, and the other puts a cap on the number of sales they could have had.

So which wins, fast sales that cap quickly, or decent sales that don't have a significant cap?

Not arguing for either side.

I certainly hope you don't think we actually think that.

It would take more than 17 minutes just to kill all the pigeons.

It did outsell during the month SSBB came out, and it wasn't unexpected. Look at NPD for every month leading up to it and 360 was still well on top taking in nearly 50% of the total amount spent on video games in almost every month.

I never said 360's were better, I never said PS3's were bad. I said yours weren't perfect, and 360's are comparable.

"so you have 5 decent/good - good/great IPs coming this year. 360 has at least 5 (fable 2, NG2, Too Human, Halo Wars, and Gears 2). They both have good lineups. learn to deal with that fact."

"THEY BOTH HAVE GOOD LINEUPS. LEARN TO DEAL WITH THAT FACT"

from my first reply.

what adjective would you rather I call it? purple?

and Killzone will be overshadowed. It's competing with resistance, which is stupid timing on sony's part. That's just for exclusives too. It'll still have to compete with other non-exclusive FPS's that are getting released at the same time.

Resistance wasn't a phenomenal game, and I don't see much reason for the sequel to be anything groundbreaking. I think it'll be fun, and probably better than KZ2, but it won't gen...
