Sony needs and answer to Alan Wake. I'm a huge fan of survival horror, and I just don't know what exclusives the PS3 has to match up to something like the new Alan Wake franchise.

LoL, see what I did there? It's hard to compare one game to another strictly in by genre.

There are plenty of beat em ups that are multiplat, and could be as good as GoW is. Bayonetta comes to mind. DMC4 was great, and there is also the new Castlevania coming out that looks very close to GoW and is made by Kojima. I'm sure there will be a DMC5 this gen, and also that Dante's Inferno game looks good.

My point is, you can't judge a libraries diversity stricly on exclusive content. There are PLENTY of beat em up games coming out on the 360 that make the library better, and much more diverse, without needing a particular exclusive in that genre to "be complete."

i think N3 was a much better hack and slash than the god of war games.

I am quite surprised someone liked that game. Looked great but didn't really enjoyed playing it.  I hope the second one will improve a lot.

Sony has provided the games, in fact they've provided more than Microsoft has. It's up to YOU if you enjoy them, choose to play them etc, etc...

As an owner of ALL of the current gen consoles I'm here to tell ya, everyone has provided a great experience this gen. Gamers either choose to recognize that, or turn a blind eye to it.

This wasn't meant to insult you selnor, but rather inform you that your last post was shocking to me.


I understand where your coming from. Not to shore what you mean by more games. There isnt a grewat deal I would be willing to pay currently £400 for a PS3 to play. Already Ive nearly finished MGS4, finished KZ2 and finished Resistance 2. I wouldn't mind trying VC that looks good, and probably my most wanted game on the PS3.

But if I personally look at the PS3 line up right now, I have to ask myself. If I spend £400 on a Ps3 + more for some games am I gonna play them. Or am I likely to continue playing: Halo3, Race Pro, Gear Of War 2 and Tales Of Vesperia ( Games I'm currently playing, finally TOV is out in UK ) And to be honest once Forza 3 hits I probably won't touch anything else for about 5 months, and that is no exaggeration.

I think the PS3 has some good games, but not good enough to warrant the cost against it's playtime. Thatas a point you seem to miss from my previous post. I cant buy as many JRPG's for the PS3, or Racing games or fighting games. I have become a cult follower if you like of Halo and WRPG's have become so good that they are now my prominent form of RPG.

Although Sony has more studios, I think their games have been eclipsed this gen if KZ2, and Res2 are anything to go by. Like I said M$ have made it pretty easy not to adopt over till late this gen for PS3 for me.

PS: Heavy Rain and Forza both look awesome. Although it was GT5's trailer that was thought to be CGI from the beginning =P

Here is the answer :

Edit: No, this game isn't developed by Microsoft Games, but why I need God Of War 3 if I have Dante's Inferno?



I wonder if they'll do sequels? Purgatorio will be pretty sweet with the seven trials. Paradiso could actually be really cool if it was really trippy. I mean imagine fighting God in a setting like you saw in FFVII's final boss:

If all you got out of Sony's studios is Resistance and Killzone 2, like I said, it's YOU who have chosen to turn the blind eye, not Sony's studios under delivering.

I know theres more buddy, but it all comes back to do I pay for £400 for them? R&C? Uncharted was good by the way really enjoyed that. Uncharted 2 also looks good, but it's releasing when Forza 3 is out. Even 360 exclusives are gonna struggle alongside that. LBP doesnt interest me. Heavy Rain looks awesome to. Because I own a 360 I have to weigh up if it's right for me to spend out at this time for a PS3. Like I said M$ are making it more than plausible for me to wait.

If they hadn't mess up the launch and first year of PS3, I wouldn't have waited. But in that itme M$ have kept my 360 constantly being played. And that is a massive part as to why I and the majority ( not all ) of my friends haven't got a PS3.

It's not that I have been blind, it's that the alternatives on the opposing platform have more tha filled the void.

My original post that started us chatting was more a retaliation to an out an out statement that M$ have nothing against Sony's exclusives. Where I made the point, M$ have more than enough that has kept me from buying a PS3 yet.

In actuality, I have a lot of respect for selnor,  if I offended him in any way, I apologize. We just tend to disagree sometimes, it happens.


LOL. ;)

I agree with CGI. In actual fact  respect CGI alot. You can actually have a conversation with him. :)

I know for a fact I could sit down and enjoy PS3 or 360 with CGI. I think it would be a blast. And he likes great graphics like me. ;) 

EDIT: I also am big enough to know that sometimes I can get drawn into fanboy wars ( even at 26 years old  ). But I actually dont care for any company, LOL. I really must peg myself sometimes. :)



Lol lets all be friends and join the loyalty free gamer's club!!!! =), =), =), =], =\, =/, =[, =(

Fuck it, it's boring if you don't be fanboy. Imagine trying to watch a sports match without any fans.

I salute you CGI and Selnor. You guys are the electrons and protons that keeps everything in the world together.
