You guys are a little too confrontational about this stuff. Drake's fortune is a good game, now name another that's a PS3 exclusive....

Let's see... how about Resistance: Fall of Man? How about MotorStorm? How about Unreal Tournament 3? And that's just from my library, there are more out there.

Then there's a whole host of great multiplatform games, some of which (like DiRT and Call of Duty 4) are noticeably better on the PS3.

I put it rather nicely on the last thread that devolved into this ignorant chest thumping. Don't be that guy that gets so wound up in a corporate rivalry that you miss out on the whole picture. There are advantages to both systems, they will both be around a LONG time, and both will have plenty of outstanding exclusive games. Buy both, be happy, and stop being a shill for one side just because somewhere deep down inside you have a sense of inadequacy that forces you downplay one system because you can only afford one or the other.

You're the one who came in with the tried and true troll comment that there aren't any good PS3 games. What did you expect?

As far as downplaying, I own both a 60GB PS3 and a 360 Elite, so I can assure you any preference has nothing to do with jealousy and everything to do with experience.

I originally had CoD4 for the PS3, then I got it for the 360 to play with friends online, they look exactly the same, I don't know why you would say it's "noticably better" when it is the exact same game on 2 different systems. For you to say that it's noticably better only shows that you either haven't seen it on both, or you are nuts.

UT3 is multiplatform, at least the 360 version comes out in May. Motorstorm is decent. Not something to rush out and buy a console over though. I'll definately give you Resistance though, forgot about that one. OK so now we are up to 2 games.

All this stuff about whether or not the PS3 has decent games is off topic. Let's get back on topic, please. To wit, the PS3 DualShock 3 controller. Otherwise, move along to another thread.

No, the texture detail is a bit higher and the lighting is better; you look at them on a really nice HDTV and you can tell the difference. Even Infinity Ward themselves noted before release that the PS3 version did a little better on the T&L. Not to mention you can play with up to 24 people over PSN, whereas COD 4 over Live maxes out at only 18. A T&L difference that you can see and six more players qualifies as better AFAIC.

Well if the only thing we're going to go by is personal opinion, then the only good games the 360 has are Dead Rising, BioShock, Mass Effect, and Gears of War. It needs some decent exclusives too, that's only two per year, and all but one of those are either already on the PC or headed to it.

Anyway, I've said my peace and I'll leave it there. As Peter said, this is getting derailed.

Oh, come on. The developers of the title clearly don't know as much about it as Giddyup knows, nobody does.

This is a huge misconception about the Wii-mote and the SIXAXIS. There aren't any gyroscopes inside, these devices use accelerometers. There is a huge difference between the two. There is no such thing as a cost-effective, solid-state gyroscope that would be used in a $50-60 video game controller.

Well my last post was deleted by the thought police, but if you can point out where IW actually said that the graphics were better on the PS3, it's news to me. What I saw that they said was different. I could have missed it but from what I saw, that is not what they said. Care to prove me wrong?

It appears you have me confused with Frost7. As it was his comment about Infinity Ward that I was referring to. But why go after him when you can come after me instead? ;)

However, while spending my time scouring YouTube in hopes of finding one out of the large number of interviews with Infinity Ward developers sounds like a hole heck of a lot of fun. I think that I'll take a pass. Thanks for the opportunity to turn down your challenge. Perhaps you'd like to reply to the person suggesting it in the first place. :D


Ahhh, RHCP B,S,S,M UTB.

As I mentioned, I did and the post was deleted by the mods. This forum apperently frowns upon the free flow of conversational debate.

"RHCP B,S,S,M UTB"

Quite obviously calling me a troll again. If I bother you so much, stop butting yourself into the conversation with your sarcastic quips, especially if you are too lame to actually make any effort to back them up.

I didn't even respond to you before, I responded to Frost7. So, I didn't "butt in" to your conversation. If I feel like "feeding you" then I will respond to you directly.

Glad to see you got the reference. Why should I stop? Do you have a problem with being the new resident UTB denizen? That's a shame. Typical behavior patterns get typical labels.

I expect this will be deleted for being an off-topic response to more of the same kind of aggressive "conversational debate" about your opinions. Again, I'll pass on the childish goading. Thanks.

Actually, what's going to happen is that this thread is going to be locked, because it's obvious you kids can't behave. Keep it up and you'll both be invited to take it somewhere else.
