Gears of War 2 most certainly has Split-screen multiplayer.

Not online...

It does, but no guests. Both users must both have gold accounts.

And just so you know, Uncharted 1 outsold Left 4 Dead

Was Left4Dead bundled as heavily as Uncharted?

Not to my knowledge. In case you were wondering, according to NPD, Uncharted sold between 500k and 750k in the USA, so a minimum of 550k in NA, so at most 450k copies were bundled, which would put it below L4D, which also has time on its side

Alan wake is the only decent game in that list that appeals to me, but that's just because I'm a horror gamer, other than that I think the ps3 definitely has the upper hand on all of those games

oh and also , gt5 wont sell systems? are you serious!? if that game can't then no other game will



In 2006, 2007, 2008 MS always had the advantage game wise, but somehow still had to drop their prices last year to outsell the PS3.

You are using the game excuse when it's not such a clear advantage anymore, The PS3 has so many good games coming up as well, so good luck with your damage control.

He meant to say he DOESNT WANT IT to sell systems.

How dare the PS3 do well, its just not fair!

@ zizzla, you mean I can play with my friend, who is sitting next to me, in an online game? I didn't know 1 had that. The only game that I have played with that is Warhawk, though I think UT 3 had it as well.

Halo 3 lets you play 4 player split screen online.  And you can have guests.

Actually that does make sense, I remember thinking that Halo's menus were set up in a way to make playing in a local party as easy as possible, in every aspect of the game, though this feature is something that I have never used, or really heard much about apart from Warhawk



This is a horrible thread. You really don't need to get upset about Sony. They've done some amazing things these last years, and I suspect this is going to kick off another huge push from Sony. There's no reason why you cannot be happy, MS will never stop giving you all good games. You didn't need to start a list war about it.

Just be happy about gaming. Zealotry is silly.



In all due fairness to Left 4 Dead it did have stiff competition on the console during the time frame it launched. The game had to face the likes of Gears of War 2, Fable 2, and Fallout 3. While the likes of Uncharted didn't really have that level of competition on its respective platform.

Yes the reaction is overblown. However I have no real problem with that either. Kicking around the members of the Sony Defense Forces has been less then rewarding over the past year. They kind of rolled over and played dead. This development has reinvigorated the stupidity. They are going to rush head long right back into the meat grinder for another go. Seemingly having forgotten what happened last time.

They aren't even appreciating the fact that the PS3 is now old hat for gaming enthusiasts. It is not the hot shit it once was where die hard platform fans had to have it, and were forced to wait to buy it until it reached a cheaper price. There isn't anyone on the fence anymore as far as I can tell. Nobody just sits on a fence for three years waiting for a console to reach a magical price. They either ponied up to the higher price, went elsewhere, or went to do something else.

The lower price will help, but your not going to see a super massive spike like you saw in the past. You are going to see a twenty or thirty percent increase in sales, and that isn't necessarily going to leap frog the 360 for Sony. I think it will just be a few thousand units difference per week until the holiday season. Where the 360 really just picks up massive steam. Remember that December is really about North America.

It seems plausible, but this year is a LOT harder for left 4 dead with MW2 and ODST, on the 360 side, ps3 will obviously outsell 360, just not as much as people are expecting.



But war... war never changes
