Did the Ps3 reach the hype it was hyped for in 2011?

Actually, Socom 4 didn't flop, just making sure SW remembers that crazy week of arguing and thread linking which proved the case for SOCOM 4. :P

ianuilliam

Flop game is a flop Solid! :P

Nah, it met the hype of A, so not a flop. It doesn't help the case of PS3's so-called dominance though.

If we're counting exclusives that have been AA or higher, the PS3 has had:

AAA
LittleBigPlanet 2

AA
Yakuza 4
Motorstorm Apocalypse
Killzone 3

I don't really count A games. Truthfully I don't count by system either, I count by genre, all things considered. I'm a nutter like that. I have a thread in one of my unions where I'm updating this by genre as I don't really care for system specific games since I have multi systems available to me.

But Socom 4 may be an AE, but it doesn't really help the PS3. This was supposed to be a year of dominance so far. Just because the 360 hasn't had an exclusive release yet doesn't mean Socom 4 is really helping out in the quality line. Granted, this is just my opinion, but it really looks like people expected something worse than the previous Socom games which were generally very well-recieved in order to make room for this game as an A. In terms of quality I don't think Socom 4 helps the PS3 much. It would be one thing if it was just some out of nowhere game that ended up as an AE, but really, Socom took quite a dip. Sure, scorewise for SW posters to keep count it may help, but as far as Sony's quality is concerned it may as well have not existed based on the legacy of the older games (8.9, 8.5, 8.9 respectively for the first three).

Not at all.

So far absolutely NOT... now the 360 on the hand has not. Heil68

[QUOTE="NeonNinja"]

[QUOTE="ianuilliam"]It does when you consider that yes, it may just be an AE... but that's more than the 360 has had this year, and PS3's had that, plus 4 or 5 AAEs plus a AAAE, all in the first 4 months or so, AND like half or more of the the big multiplats have been better on PS3 (not better in a lame "it has two extra pixels that you can't even see" kind of way, but better in a "have a free game with that, have some Steamworks integration, have exclusive free content, etc" kind of way).

Honestly, in the flood of shooters available for play, why am I going to pick up Socom 4 regardless of whether it was the only exclusive available for the next 10 years?

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]

[QUOTE="ianuilliam"]MLB11 is also counted as a AAE for the SW metagame. 1 AAAE, 4 AAE, and 1 AE. True, the AE doesn't really count for the metagame, since that's just AAE+, but as far as it helping PS3's dominance, look at it this way. If that was the ONLY exclusive game that PS3 had had this year... it'd still be more than 360.

More to choose from is better agreed. I still don't see 1 extra A game in a sea of super high quality shooters as being relevant though. This far into the gen, the titles added to the library have to start having some inherent worth imo. Adding more middling FPS games to a library is better then nothing but its not doing much to make the library more appealin.

Sure. A flop is only relevent in terms of hype vs score. Those games still exist to be enjoyed by people who don't live and breath hype.

By the end of 2011, it's a no-brainer. There are at least 3 more amazing exclusives slated for this year that I'm interested in, and a couple of multiplats are looking great as well.

I'm not interested in nearly as many as some here seem to be, but I'm still interested in too many games to actually purchase. I may even get GeoW 3 if I keep that 360 I'll get for free from that deal going on.

Well at least ps3 has games, and only one game flopped and that's KZ3.TheGuardian03

You're right, xbox doesn't have games.

There's a difference between "games" and "exclusives". And you just admitted to trolling.

[QUOTE="Silverbond"][QUOTE="TailBlood"]You should probably try owning a ps3. That would make sure you knew that Motor-storm apocalypse and Yakuza 4 came out after February. Both AA games.TailBlood

Exactly, Maybe if he spent more time actuallyon the games instead of talking about them then he'd have known :P

Socom may have gotten a low score but its def one of my favorites this year. I just think the trend is to give shooters that aren't run and gun, or break the halo/cod way of doing things... get lower scores.

the only flop so far that i recall is killzone 3. you make it sound like there are so many flops, but there isnt. before anyone jumps on flops, remember socom didnt have a hype thread and was deemed as a no flop. besides, as far as exclusive games, its doing way better than the competition with many more games still to release for 2011

I think so. Every exclusive has been great too me.

If it was hyped to be the year in which it dominated the other consoles in number of high quality games then, absolutly yes.

LOL, that is, if AAE's are still considered high quality here? That is what I heard people say to argue that 360 was better than PS3 in the past, but since PS3 leads in that area now it doesn't seem like people are using that argument anymore??
