Forums - Sony - What Sony needs to do to endear people to their first person shooters

Mensrea on 30 January 2013

Good thread. IMO Sony makes some excellent shooters. I don't know why they haven't broken out more.

Resistance has a wonderful setting, and great arcadey play. I loved Resistance 3, and I wish this franchise had received the success it deserved to merit more games.

I haven't played Killzone, but it looks gorgeous, and I've heard good things. I will defiantly buy Mercenary.

Sony IMO is the only company making FPS that are unique these days. Resistance is no COD, and it knows that. I've heard the same of resistance. I love that.

I can't argue that, but COD is still fun and competitive on the PS3. I wish I had bought it on the 360 but it was sold out. The online is just as healthy.


The online is just as healthy.. yes I agree. But the comunication is lacking and the skill of the average player is.. how would I put this.. in easy mode as compared to XBL. 

No. 


Have you tried both? I have, I agree. I go to my mates house all the time and we play cod (even though I don't really like it.) and it's much easier on the ps3.

So then tell me what makes Xbox so much more difficult?

Some just don't get it anymore, but the sales show that the superior days of the Xbox 360's sales dominating shooters are over. Sony has an audience ready to buy those types of games but just aren't pushing them to that group of people. They are there because COD sells between 10-12 million on the PS3 alone.


Halo 4, did you see it? Not sure how that isn't dominant.

Skill of the average player, did you read before you posted? You're previous one makes it seem as though you didn't. It's only our personal experiences, no need to get all defensive. You can't say no to someones opinion.

Yes I can because that would make it my opinion on his opinion. Does he have some sort of evidence to prove his point or is he just going off of personal experience? Because I could get a ton of my friends who play on both Xbox and PS3 to say that PS3 players are more skilled than Xbox players, doesn't make it true. Unless he has something to back it up it's, as you said, his opinion.

Guys let's not turn this into which console has better skilled players. This is always going to be a personal opinion and has nothing to do with this topic. People replied to a Wh1pL4shL1ve claim that people on PS3 lack skill. This was based on nothing more than heresay and anecdotal experiences. I am not sure how can you prove things like that. Even a mass study with all the player data won't be conclusive enough.

I said it was from personal experience, again, did you read before you posted? Getting your friends to post online about this would be quite sad....
