Demon's Souls just came out exclusively for the PS3 and getting rave reviews, Dragon Age: Origins also coming out in a month's time as a multiplatform game (PS3 edition coming out a couple weeks later).

Unless DA:O manages to out-do Demon's Souls (which I personally doubt), this situation seems to be mimicking the inFAMOUS/Prototype one (where PS3 got two decent games, 360 got one). Think fanboys will take sides again and start comparing the two aggressively like the other situation?

Those aren't very similiar. DS is more of an Action RPG, and DA:O is...I dunno what it's technically called, but it's Baldur's Gate style and nothing like DS from what I have seen...I Think

They're different games, only a brain dead fanboy would try to compare the two.

Please, everything is compared with anything, not that you can't compare these to games. Don't make such stupid and vast generalisations, 'OH NOEZ CANT COMPARE TWO GAMES WITHIN THE SAME GENRE WTF'

Both are single player third-person RPGs. Both have real-time elements.

Prove it, go through every post.

They could be compared, but why? They're not similar, comparing them would be stupid. One allows you to fight through real time whilst the other uses the KOTOR mechanic (sorry I don't know the name for it :P).

I don't think so. I mean some fanboys here like to make it seems so, but it's very different situation. Prototype and Infamous were very similiar, Dragon Age and Demon Soul are very different from eachother

One's an action RPG, the other isn't. They're in different sub-genres of the RPG genre, they focus on different things, so they shouldn't be compared.

Demons Souls is a ARPG from Japan, Dragon Age is a CRPG from Canada.

I hope that doesn't happen again...

It's been good so far, and I think the games are different enough...

No need to compare. They're practically different genres.
