Forums - Sony - Will The PS3 Rule Each Genre?

they need more jrpg. they only have versus exclusive... and likely be the highest selling exclusive jrpg this gen.

but fighers (since all the games are multiplayer), racing(GT5), action adventure are theirs. (too many of those to number).

FPS = i will leave it to taste, i like kz2 multiplayer more than halo multiplayer.

and i like resistance class co op more than gears co op.

  • Action Adventure (Wii) -- What does the PS3 or Xbox 360 currently have that can compre to Twilight Princess?  True, TP isn't the best Zelda, but it's still an incredible game.  Aside from that, it also have Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Zack & Wiki.  Digging a little deeper the Wii also has gems like Madworld, No More Heroes and even technically has RE4 (and the best version at that).
  • Platformer (Wii/DS) -- To say any other platformer this gen beats Super Mario Galaxy or New Super Mario Bros. is just foolish.  It isn't foolish to say you like some other game better, but it is foolish to say there are better platformers than those two games this gen.
  • Racing (PS3/Wii) -- depends on your taste really I think.  If you like the sim games, PS3 for GT.  If you like just fun racing, Wii gets it for Mario Kart Wii and ExciteBots.
  • Fighting (Wii) -- what exclusive fighting games do the 360 or Wii have?  I doubt either of them has anything that compres to Brawl.  Brawl is probably the most complete game I've ever seen.
  • Shooter (360) -- the 360 isn't called the shooter box for nothing.  No matter what kind of shooter you like, the 360 has the best of it.  The Wii may control better, but the 360 just has the better shooters.  The PS3 also has some good shooters, but its exclusives don't do much to compare to the 360's exclusives and usually feel like they're playing catchup gameplay wise.
  • RPG (DS/360) -- RPG's work best on handheld consoles and the DS has 'em.  The PS3 and 360 have those crazy big budget ones, but how many of those actually turned out to be really good?  I'm sure for everyone you list someone else could easily list 2 really good DS RPG's.  If I had to pick a home console, the 360 has the edge because of things like Fable 2 and Mass Effect.


Racing games is not a genre any more than walking games is a genre. we of course split walking games into various 'subgenres' like fighters, rpgs, action adventure. All sorts of games in which you walk.

As for the Motorstorm thing - sure

Re 360 vs PS3 shooters - The 360 has more popular exclusives so I gave it first. I don't really care either way though.

Wii Rpgs came from Japan suddenly
FFCC - TCB
DQX
MHG
MH3
ToG
ToS:DotNW
Fire Emblem
Muramasa
Kizuna
Opoona
FFCC - EoT
Pokemon battle revolution
Fragile
Arc Rise Fantasia

 

Edit: Actually, RPG's should be split up into two; WRPGs and JRPGs. I'm not trying to claim that the Wii has better WRPGs than other consoles



it probably won't rule the average, mundane things you can do in everyday life and probably do genre.



Feels lacking in the jRPG department... also exclusive fighters...

I can.. kinda understand it being above the PS3 with these (although quantity=/=quality, some of these suck)... but above X360? no way. The 360 has more in quality and quantity, so no.

I'll keep it simple. The list is both extremely biased and extremely extreme. I don't see how anyone can disagree with that, no matter where your personal opinion on the subject lies.

No, but I'm basing it on footage I saw from each, along with reviews. As I said, the X360 has more and better ones.

 



Why does that article call Left 4 Dead an action/adventure game, and not an FPS? Seems like a pretty weak attempt to dilute the 360's first class shooter library and push the PS3 ahead. Gears isn't first person, but it would also fit better with the FPS category than action/adventure.
