You'll Think Sony Fans would get the Point...

[Final]

OK, I found out on the 1up boards i was looking around on th playstation 3 thread where i was hit with this Link. Why The PS3 Will Rock

So Im like Ok read with an Open Mind but some of the things in there is Just Bullshit.. here's a Copy & paste.

The real reason behind all the hubbub is that for the first time in ten years of being on top Sony appears vulnerable, and Microsoft and Nintendo fanboys are relishing every second. Appearances can be deceiving.

PS3


1) The PS3 games at E3 may not have looked leaps and bounds above what's on the 360, but there are months of development time left, titles like Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, and Resistance: Fall of Man already look fantastic.

2) The only 360 game I saw on the show floor that really impressed me and that made me want a 360 was Gears of War. At the Sony booth I had fun with Motorstorm, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword and Resistance: Fall of Man, heck just days after E3 I found myself wishing I could get my hands on them again. I felt no such pining for most of the 360 games, Crackdown? Shadow Run? Saints Row? Please.

3) Nintendo isn't a threat (no offense), they've successfully targeted a different demographic and aim to coexist with Sony and Microsoft, that's why the "PSWii" and "Wii60" avatars are so popular all of a sudden. While the Wii is going to be fun, there are certain epic experiences you just won't be able to get on it.


4) The controller will be a hit, I know because I've held it. For all this talk of innovation the fact is most of us still play games the same way, with a standard controller (why do you think Ninty's releasing a "shell" for the WiiMote?) Many would agree that the Dual Shock design is perfect, which is why there was such a big ruckus when the boomerang pad was shown, why break what 'aint broke right? Sony's new controller keeps all the best bits of the old Dual Shock while infusing added functionality and control via the L2, R2 trigger buttons and tilt sensitivity. And all this noise about Sony copying Nintendo? Who really cares, Sony "copied" the analog stick and rumble feature from the N64 controller and implemented a better solution, who's to say the same won't be the case here?

PS3 Controller

5) Sony has the most powerful hardware. Sorry Microsoft fanboys but it's true, and even you know it, right now you're going through the same denial Sony fanboys went through when the original Xbox specs were announced. The evidence might not be so apparent just now, but it will become so in the future, this first generation of launch titles is looking just as good, if not a little better than the second generation of 360 titles. That says something.

PS3

6) You'll get used to the price, and realise it's probably worth it. Considering what you get in the package, a blu-ray player, 60GB hard drive, the ability to run Linux and homebrew, wifi, memory card slots, a fully fledged media centre and the most powerful gaming machine ever to grace God's green earth, $600 really isn't that steep.

7) Sony still has the biggest guns. There's just no challenging Sony's lineup, let's quickly run though a list of titles that traditionally debut on Sony hardware:

Onimusha: We haven't heard a peep yet, but you can bet it's in development and if it's predecessors are anything to go by, it'll blow us away.Devil May Cry

Devil May Cry: Personally, I say to hell with all the rumors, this one's coming to the PS3 first and it'll most likely stay there. DMC was notably absent at E3, and now we know why. Come the Tokyo Game Show we'll get our hands on a playable build of this delightfully devilish dish.

Ratchet and Clank: The short clip we've seen looks amazing, Insomniac are witches, and they've cast a spell on us.

Jak and Daxter: Naughty Dog are capable of doing things with Sony hardware that would make you swear the team thinks in binary. Rumors abound of an MMO set in the Jak universe, the idea of a Massively Multiplayer Online Adventure Platformer has me bouncing off the walls.Gran Turismo

Gran Turismo: It has to be emphasised that you haven't seen a single frame of GT5. What was shown at E3 was GT4 running in 1080p. PGR what?

God of War: It's coming, it has to be... and it will make you its manslave. Can you even fathom how amazing it'll be fighting a giant kracken in high resolution, blood spurting and scales glistening as twin blades cut arcs of death through the frigid air? Can you?

Silent Hill: Think back to the first time Silent Hill mentally scarred you. God Of War

Final Fantasy: You will be ownt.

Kingdom Hearts: Considering how good these games looked on the PS2 hardware,

Shadow of the Colossus: You didn't play Shadow, you experienced it

Metal Gear Solid: Kojima's MGS games have always resonated with emotional and philosophical depth, the technical and visual artistry on display knows no peer. Plus they' re damn cool.

Castlevania: Symphony of The Night, but real this time. Let's see it Konami.

SOCOM: With the power of the PS3 behind them, Zipper will finally be able to deliver a SOCOM experience that runs smoothly,Shadow of the Colossus looks great and delivers depth of gameplay we all know and love.

Wipeout: I'd be surprised if we didn't hear something about a Wipeout game coming to PS3 very soon and considering how much fun Wipeout pure was, a next gen Wipeout is a civic responsibility.

Lair: Have you seen this game!? No one knows exactly what it's about, but holy aunt Jemima does it looks tasty!

Soul Reaver: Probably the most intricate and detailed story ever written for a videogame, the Soul Reaver series needs a PS3 entry. There's no evidence of a new game in the works but it would kick much buttock to wander the landscape of Nosgoth powered by the PS3...oh, oh, Nosgoth Online!
Soul Reaver
Killzone: Conspicuously absent at E3, rumor has it Sony didn't want to take the focus off Resistance: Fall of Man. When next we see Killzone, it'll be big, very big

Bottom line is that E3 was only the tip of the PlayStation iceberg and it focused mainly on launch window titles and new IP's, Sony's saving the big guns, and it won't be long before we start seeing and hearing more from them.

First Off, First Quote says
") The PS3 games at E3 may not have looked leaps and bounds above what's on the 360, but there are months of development time left, titles like Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, and Resistance: Fall of Man already look fantastic.".

With All the Hype Sony did about how a Graphical powerhouse it would be your telling me I still couldnt tell the difference at E3, Xbox 360 games Looked like that/Better At Launch, PDZ,PGR,DOA(if you still consider it launch), kameo, And All those Games they mentioned got Pushed back no longer in the Launch Window so what REALLY good sony? All Xbox 360 games currently are STILL first Gen Titles.

Second point is
"2) The only 360 game I saw on the show floor that really impressed me and that made me want a 360 was Gears of War. At the Sony booth I had fun with Motorstorm, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword and Resistance: Fall of Man, heck just days after E3 I found myself wishing I could get my hands on them again. I felt no such pining for most of the 360 games, Crackdown? Shadow Run? Saints Row? Please."


Uh, Just Gears of War? Not even mass Effect, Huxley, Bioshock,ect.? Although IGN just gave thier Best of E3 and only 1 Ps3 was even consirded? Assassin's Creed, which is Rumored to be RUNNING off the xbox 360 itself? Even if it's not, it IS coming to xbox 360, it was orginally known as Project Assassin when the xbox 360 was first coming out. Ok you talk about how good the games was, yet Most repectable Gaming Sites says the same thing " Looks great Plays same" and My friend was at E3 playing the games, he didnt think ANYONE of them was omfg, he though of them as ALL decent, plus You Say Crackdown, saints row and Shadow run(which was JUST annonoced) doesnt look all that great? They do Look great but nothing Spetacular, i didnt expect that from them Only Great gameplay, which is what Alot of people are seening, seems Sony fans turned into early Xbox fan boys and it's turn into a Graphics thing now. Anyways, Where was your KILLZONE? Why didnt they Show MOTORSTORM? Motorstorm looked NO where Next gen, Genji 2 anyone? ROFL fucking JOKE, lets Flip the crab over for MASSIVE DAMAGE, Very difficult.GT hd was A Fucking waste of 10 mins, some damn port of gt4 in HD, OH WOW! *bored*

Third Point is
"3) Nintendo isn't a threat (no offense), they've successfully targeted a different demographic and aim to coexist with Sony and Microsoft, that's why the "PSWii" and "Wii60" avatars are so popular all of a sudden. While the Wii is going to be fun, there are certain epic experiences you just won't be able to get on it..

True Nintendo may once again be Third, but you never know, i think it may come Second due to price and TRUE SUPER backward compat. plus Innovative games. but There WILL be Epic Experiences on it all Systems will.

Fourth,
The controller will be a hit, I know because I've held it. For all this talk of innovation the fact is most of us still play games the same way, with a standard controller (why do you think Ninty's releasing a "shell" for the WiiMote?) Many would agree that the Dual Shock design is perfect, which is why there was such a big ruckus when the boomerang pad was shown, why break what 'aint broke right? Sony's new controller keeps all the best bits of the old Dual Shock while infusing added functionality and control via the L2, R2 trigger buttons and tilt sensitivity. And all this noise about Sony copying Nintendo? Who really cares, Sony "copied" the analog stick and rumble feature from the N64 controller and implemented a better solution, who's to say the same won't be the case here? .

Riiggghhttt, The One without the rumble Feature? the one that Copied Nintendo's control movement? The one that has a "Guide" looking Button is gonna be a hit? What tells you that? Once again Sony Steals the best Ideas from everyone esle and use it themselves, just not as good. Oh, and You admitted to Coping Good Job.

The 5th post is my fav. Sony has the most powerful hardware. Sorry Microsoft fanboys but it's true, and even you know it, right now you're going through the same denial Sony fanboys went through when the original Xbox specs were announced. The evidence might not be so apparent just now, but it will become so in the future, this first generation of launch titles is looking just as good, if not a little better than the second generation of 360 titles. That says something..

Yea, no one said it wouldnt be, But those Specs has been DUMBED down ALOT since announced havent they? Now it's basically a Neck and Neck Run in Hardware, Sony only has a Slight lead. So what your saying is the 360 doesnt have anything left? Plus What your seeing is STILL first Gen Titles, Ghost Recon, Oblivion was still all planned launch games, Check Mass effect and GoW for second gen games.

Sixth post states You'll get used to the price, and realise it's probably worth it. Considering what you get in the package, a blu-ray player, 60GB hard drive, the ability to run Linux and homebrew, wifi, memory card slots, a fully fledged media centre and the most powerful gaming machine ever to grace God's green earth, $600 really isn't that steep..

I dont give a shit, 600 is too much, most of this stuff sony is giving you is NOT needed, but then again thanks to Lunix i bet people are going to have a code to burn Ps3 games onto the HDD or some crazy shit and sony will be pissed like with the psp. Oh and as a Media centre? Xbox 360 is much better than ps3 at that.

FINAL post is the best and posts, Sony still has the biggest guns. There's just no challenging Sony's lineup, let's quickly run though a list of titles that traditionally debut on Sony hardware:

Onimusha: We haven't heard a peep yet, but you can bet it's in development and if it's predecessors are anything to go by, it'll blow us away.

Onimusha, They fucked up with the last one losing some fans and not gaining much, pissy ratings so i'd say it's the Worst Onimusha they made, next.

Devil may Cry, your beloved button mashing series, I got no beef with the game, its a great game, but im not forking over 600 just to play the same game with upgraded graphics.

Ratchet and clank, eh its a good series but nothing to make you go out and buy a ps3 just for this game.

Jak and Daxter, You said a MMO adventure, can you image the Lagg and shitty servers on this? I'll stay away thanks, it was a decent series too.

GT, This game is one BORING fucking game, and I was a HEAVY GT fan, i didnt want to believe forza beated the shit out of Gt4 but when i played forza i knew it did, this series needs something to make it interesting, PGR has a Much bigger fan base than this now, and PGR2 looked as good if not better than GT4, dont give me that PGR what bullshit.

God of War, Yea it's coming, maybe 3 years or 4 years after launch so no need to care for this anytime soon, it'd probably come out when the ps3 has a price change.

Silent Hill, This game is also on Xbox.

Final fantasy, Thats ok, we have the FF staff when FF was good and NOT mainstream with all this pop star looking pussy characters, I remember Terra, locke,Cecil and those badassses Not that Pussy Tidus.

Kingdom hearts, Eh I never got into this game so i dont give a shit for it, eat me Sora.

Shadow of the Colussus, Ok this game is over hyped, Decent graphics and Repititive Find the weak spot on the monster is abit boring dont you think?

Socom, Uh.. yea right,...Ghost Recon > Socom. Plus why are Many socom fans running back to Socom 2? because you Fucked up the 3rd one, good job.

Wipeout, this game bores me, it bored me for psp as well. Go Ridge Racer.(which is on 360)

Lair, WTF is this game? I rather Panzer Dragoon orta.
Soul reaver, The series is on it's death bed, unless someoen revives it soon, it's gonna stay there, the games on PSX was good but the ones on ps2 was decent.

Metal gear solid, Uh, You get ONE MGS game, thats it, Good bye MGS4 LAST ONE EVER

Castlevania, Eh the GBA/DS versions Pwn the Console versions, need i say more?

Killzone, the "halo" killer with the insane CG wasnt at e3...because they didnt want to disappoint you guys, the game is horrible get over it.

Next time bring something solid to the table, Sony Sucked at E3 no way around it, and TGS they will annocoune more shit but so will MS

[Final]

Also for the Extra Jab in the Face, Check out the whole sony press conference in 1min, best video ever.

GIANT ENEMY CRAB

[GoatLove]

I have seen games that are supposed to be a "halo killer".....never happened.

On the ps2 games "Tribes".....it said something on the back like "Goodbye halo"...please. Didnt killzone 1 suck?

I like some playstation games....some....and i dont have 600 bucks....im saving up for a Wii(i would rather pay 600 bucks for a Wii)

[Final]

:| I put all this up for 1 comment? WTF and Bullshit threads get the most fucking responses...

[I Bret I]

Lol, PS3 fanboys are so dumb. I thought everyone said that Dead Rising/ Gears of War was better than anything Sony showed, and Sony didn't hardly get any awards at E3, on websites and such.

[hypnoticgoat]

Microsoft dosen't need guns we have nukes like Halo 3.

[Final]

Dont mention Ninja Gaiden 2 then if Halo is a Nuke

[Kholdstare]

Please spyder post this in the comment box for the article. It would be funny as hell.


I can see a few good games coming out of the PS3. But I don't see anygames that I'll really want to play for long. Really, where's the replay value in Gods Of War? Look at Halo 2, still being played today and it's still over a year old... think of Halo 3 or GOW.

[Whistlerman]

so man good games coming up in 2007 for the 3

[zZ Billy Zz]

haha it sounded like that guy was in denial
