As far as PS3 shooters are concerned i'm liking what i'm seeing with KZ2's multiplayer. Doubt it will be halo or COD4 though.

You do realize the PS3 also has COD4?  One of the coolest things in that vid, if you click it, is when the guy calls in air support via a flash grenade.  Details like that, make this game seem pretty damn epic. We'll see though, if it combines what I like about COD4, Resistance, and Team Fortress 2- I'll have a new mp favorite.

 

Yes I realize that COD4 is on the PS3, but the experience is better on the 360 hands down.

 

No its not :

PS3 controller ftw. I guess if you are used to it, it's a none issue. I've heard of people with problems playing fps on ps consoles.. but never experienced issues myself.

 

You couldn't be anymore wrong. Anyone who was good on a PS3 would be ten times better while gaming FPS style on a 360. The 360 controller aligns the X, Y axis much better than the PS3 does with the analog stick formation. If you play the games back to back on both systems you'll realize that the 360 controller gives you ease of motion on FPS or racing games, where as on the PS3 you have side by side controls for moving and crosshair. Also the 360 provides a back trigger. Microsoft obviously did more research than sony on the ergonomics of the controllers.

Obviously PS3 is better for fighter games. Thats the only games 360 owners complain about, because the PS3 controller is superior when it comes to that. It has a much better directional pad than the 360. The 360 triggers also allow you to feel like you're actually pulling the trigger of a gun while the controller shakes, The PS3 controller cannot provide this either. Also just to let you know one of the reasons FPS (multiplat) games were inferior on the PS2 was because of the controller, and Sony now goes making their top games FPS and don't even change the controller? Thats really stupid.

Strengths of the 360 controller (when played multiplat): FPS, Racing, Sports.

Strengths of the PS3 controller (Same): Fighting games and any game involving major use of the directional pad. 

The are pretty much equal with everything else. Sony should've changed the controller concept to pave the way for their next generation of games. The Six Axis is useless and you know it.
