Forums - Gaming - Valve: 360 community "HEAD AND SHOULDERS above PS3"

I'd accept that the 360 in US and UK has a slightly stronger community, however this has nothing to do with features or anything IMHO, Live's slightly better party capabilties notwithstanding, but the nature of the games that are most popular on 360 and remain popular - i.e. Halo 3, CoD4 and Gears.

However, it's pretty clear to me as a casual MP player than CoD4, KZ2, etc. have near enough as strong a community on PS3 as anything on 360, just that overall there seems to be less focus from PS3 owners on online vs offline, something that may explain why many SP orientated titles sell better on PS3 WW currently despite smaller install base - or at least that's how it feels to me.

This probably is a response to 'ole Randy, but its equally flawed IMHO. L4D2 isn't on PS3 because the Source tech hasn't been properly ported to the PS3 nor optimized for it, and Valve don't want to bother right now as it readily supports PC and 360, nothing to do with how the title would play on the PS3 if it was properly ported.

Personally, playing on PC with mods and free content like Crash Course vs paying, I'd say it's the PC platform that's head and shoulders ahead - but he clearly doesn't want to say that, mindful of the transition from PC to consoles of many gamers.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Failve !


.... Lame ? Maybe.. But it works.

Regardless. Get episode 3 out already and stop talking smack.



Check out my game about moles ^

i don't see the "head and shoulders" this man is talking about....ps3 and psn are just as good as 360 and xbox live.

@ Bubbles

Actually I think the quality difference between the two played a bigger role in how sales went there. The 360 version was vastly superior.

the 360 version wasn't vastly superior, actually the textures looked better on PS3, but i contribute the low sales the Uncharted 2, people would pick that over the other.

I've played both my friend, the only advantage the PS3 had was textures. Everything else was in 360's favor. I don't make claims like that without some experience, or check the Lens of Truth.

I'm sorry i don't like the Lens of Truth, and damn CGI do you buy every game or did you rent it. Besides, are they really that noticable.

No, didn't buy either version but have two friends that bought the two versions, and I spent a considerable amount of time with PS3 version. Visually, it is ahead. Performance, however, is in complete favor of the Xbox 360

Performance? In what way, do you really notice the screen tearing, and the load times are they that hard to handle? I just don't get this stuff anymore, I hate camparisons they are all crap. I don't need a comparison to tell me which to get. When I play a game i don't sit there with a Lens and look at every mess up. I'll get the one i want. But I don't have that game because it doesn't appeal to me.



Oh boy, putting caps in the title really DOES work!



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Good thing I made my comment while it was still on the first page, lol.



Lol.  Awesome.

Valve PR meeting:

Speaker A: "We can't use the PS3-is-too-hard excuse anymore, because everybody and their grandma writes good PS3 versions of their games now"
Speaker B: "We need to think of something else. Something insulting, so we can keep the M$ greenbacks flowing in."
Speaker A: "How about 'PSN users suck compared to XBLA users'? We'll veil it somewhat... don't use those words exactly"
Speaker B: "Good call! Cha-ching! Was that this mornings MS money delivery?"

Just hypothetical, of course. =)
