Multiplayer matches in Conker? yes the original had all kinds of multiplayer matches and the shooting was far better then any shooter wev've talked about so far. Is the single player still the same? a few changes here and there thats about all but that rock'd, but you have to deliver on the whol package.

Mass Effect 1 was published by Microsoft. Just prior to Mass Effects release Electronic Arts purchased Bioware, and EA published ME2. Since MS has some rights over Mass Effect 1, Bioware was not allowed to port ME1 to PS2. My point with Mass Effect was that third party companies can be bought out, or decide to make their game multiplatform alltogether. Although 1st party companies can be bought out too (take Bizarre Creations), but it's less common. ok

Gears of War, although 3rd party, I don't consider to be any different then Resistance for PS3. Insomniac is not a first party Sony company, they just agreed to develop Resistance for Sony. The only difference is Resistance is a Sony IP, where Gears is Epic, but I really don't see a Gears of War coming out on PS3. I put Gears of War in the same boat as 1st party exclusives, MS won't let their second best selling franchise go multiplatform. I guess this is probably more like MGS then Gears, but I still count it as a solid exclusive. not PS3 but PS4? i never count anything out and don't expect a GEARS 4 on current gen consoles which i'm sure you don't lol.

Actually, there are just as many JRPG's this gen as any prior gen, they are just more spread out. X-Box only had a FFXI port come to it, and Gamecube had 2 JRPG's (off the top of my head, Paper Mario and Tales of Symphonia). Last gen PS2 had all the JRPG's. Now this gen Wii is getting XenoBlade, Last Story, and Dragon Quest X, 360 got Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, and Infinite Undiscovery, and PS3 got Valkyria Chronicles and Demon Souls. I don't think there are particularly any less JRPG's this gen then in others. i see

I know I'm interested in a handful of PS3 exclusives, I'll admit that, but before Tales of Xillia, there wasn't anything I could live without. Heavy Rain and Valkyria Chronicles are probably the only must have PS3 titles for me. There are more must have titles on the Wii for me then PS3. 

understandable

For 360, except for Fable, all the big hyped exclusives are my types of games. Basically for me Gears, Halo, Forza, Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia (so far), and Mass Effect are much bigger games then any PS3 exclusive, and then Alan Wake, Too Human, Infinite Undiscovery, and Dance Central are about as interesting as Uncharted, GT, Resistance, etc. lol ok your not giving much to argueabout

Anyway, both systems are good, our debate has really changed. I will likely get a PS4 over a next-box simply because I'm tired of unreliable US products. 90% of the games are multiplatform anyway, I can hold out a bit for the next Forza and Halo. i agree

Your view on MS is my view on Sony for software. Last gen Sony got all the third party exclusives and really made me want a PS2. Gran Turismo was better (for the time), Twisted Metal was good, and GTA was a platform exclusive! This gen Sony has lost all their third party exclusives, and yes they have tried to make a few first party ones, but feel MS did a better job securing exclusives (1st and 3rd party). i can see that being an influence.

As for your last comment, I'm on the same boat. Nintendo rarely makes a new IP, NOA won't ever localize any great Japanese games, and a lot of their old IP's remain unaltered. I think for Nintendo home consoles I will likely skip generations, so I won't get a Wii U, but I'll get whats next. I need an updated Mario Kart at least once a decade, and some of Nintendos games are just phenominal (Fire Emblem, Donkey Kong, Metroid Prime, Smash Bros, etc). agreed

here a link to the old conker multiplayer

there maybe a few more

See I got Conker after I bought my 360, so online is dead anyway. As long as the core game is the same, I'm happy.

Still MS has butchered Rare. Look what Rare makes on 360 now, Kinect Sports, Avatars, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts? Damn MS. I mean how hard would it be to make a proper Killer Instinct game? People always argue MS has relativly few 1st party titles, and Rare has a bounty of great IP's. I mean a proper Banjo Kazooie would be nice too, 360 needs an exclusive platformer.

Also I agree with you Gears of War 4 might come out on PS4. I hope it does, so I can still continue to play the franchise. I told you Sony is a much better company then MS, and third party exclusives are becoming so rare nowdays. Mass Effect is already multiplatform, so if next gen is like this one I'll just get a nextbox after a slim redesign and many price cuts.

As for 360, I guess I'm just defending my taste. Most people here love the PS3, and it's exclusives, so you guys really don't have to defend yourselves. I always feel on this website, I have to explain why I prefer 360 over PS3 for software. People are shocked, but for the 3 genres that dominate my gaming, 360 is better. Overall I think PS3 is better, I'm just not big on Action Adventure or Platformer titles like God of War, LBP, and Ratchet. Maybe it's because I look to Nintendo for those types of games. If I were a fan of PS3 platformers, I might share the view of more people here. How we lead to this, I dunno. Guess we didn't want to debate to die.

Don't worry, I'll argue with you somewhere else. We just need a good topic to debate. We're dry here.

BTW Resistance 3 is looking awesome. They brought back a proper co-op mode.
