Very Very good! SONY stacks up extremely well against M$ exclusives and in some respects even downright spanks the 360 lineup. And that is honestly the truth



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!

I've always found it interesting how there are people who will play a variety of different genres, and then claim there aren't many games from a certain publisher or studio that interest them. This generation, Sony has developed or published a large number of great games from dozens of different genres. They've published great shooters (Uncharted 1 and 2, Killzone 2), great action games (inFamous, Heavenly Sword), great RPGs (Demon's Souls, Folklore), great platformers (LittleBigPlanet, Ratchet), great sports games (MLB The Show, Hot Shots Golf), great racing games (Motorstorm, Gran Turismo), and a variety of other titles of varying quality and genres.

For those too lazy to read, you can't really say that you enjoy a variety of games and then also claim that Sony doesn't have anything you'd be interested in. Nintendo still has better games, but Sony is also easily one of the greatest publishers of the generation.

This thread should not be opinion based..

I don't mean to pick on you but this is a really stupid statement.  Of course it should be opinion based, that's exactly what Gilgamesh is asking for.  Without opinion we would all just be playing Metascores and GTA IV is the best game this gen.

I personally, generally have a preference for Nintendo first party games above all others as a feel they tend to have a certainly intangible quality that many other developers can't achieve, or at least achieve as often.  However I am a gamer first and foremost and enjoy top quality games from any developer, Sony included, and their best games are in the same league as Nintendo's.

When people have never even looked at sony's first party achievements, it makes them look incredibly biased, and that includes every single poster in this thread.

So how should this thread be run then?  Sit people down and force them to play Sony games and then force them to give an 'honest' assessment of the quality of the games.  The opinions might be ill-informed but the purpose of this thread is to get people's opinions.

Furthermore you don't know that these people have never tried Sony games and if these people have never played Sony games that is still a failing on Sony's part, either in marketing or in making games that appeal to these people.   Similarly if Nintendo's 'kiddy-centric' design philosophy or Microsoft's FPS-centric ethos turn you off or prevent you from enjoying their games, that's their fault. Making high quality games is only part of the equation.

This is the first gen where sony is actually making the best games for their platform. PS1 and PS2 were amazing systems because of 3rd party efforts. If Sony was to be compared to nintendo (hell even sega during PS1/ early ps2 days) with first party efforts, they would have been laughed out of the room.

As far as PS3, sony is finally making solid quality games that I would like to play.
The problem is that so are microsoft and Nintendo. And there is just so much spare time...

I couldn't have said it better myself.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Nintendo by far is the best in first party.

Sony comes next

+1 great reply and thanks for your very well balanced statement.  I could not agree more.

My nod goes to Sony simply because they give a little something for everyone and they don't just do 3-4 good games a year, they do many more than that.

They are pretty much at the point of Nintendo where their games alone would easily warrant a purchase of their console and if anyone thinks otherwise I would think they are crazy.

 

Not to get into list wars but if you can't find something here, well...

ModNation Racers

Gran Turismo 5

White Knight Chronicles

Heavy Rain

God of War 3

Move Titles

The Last Guardian

M.A.G.

 

That is just a few and these are all pretty much 2010 titles. Can you figure out just how many different genres there are as well as how many of these appeal to age groups ranging from under 10 to over the age of 30?



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

Yea, Sony has published a ridiculously wide range of games this generation, and I think a lot of people don't give them enough credit.  Including some very unique games on the PSP/PSN (Patapon, Locoroco, Flower, Echochrome), Sony has dabbled in just about every genre and kind of game imaginable.

I'm impressed by what they have offered, and I'm impressed by the variety of their games, but they doesn't appeal to me in the way Nintendo's games does.
