First Person Shooters PS3 vs Xbox 360

alright well just wanted to get some opinions of which platform you like playing Black Ops on better.

well my friend came over two days ago and i was able to try out black ops on the ps3. it's actually my first fps experience on the ps3 (i've done it b4 on ps2 and all) and it fell short from my expectations. i use to lik the ps3 controller because it looked smaller, less uncluttered, and lightweight.

about black ops, i liked it better on the xbox 360 cuz of the controller. don't get me wrong the ps3 controller is nice but the default control scheme is wierd (especially for close range). also when im using the analog stickit feels like my thumbs are going to slip off (round shape analog stick).also using default alternative on ps3 still feels weird,the trigger goes down all the way.

on the 360 the sticks have a curved shape which goes with your thumbs and the trigger has that too, also it feels more comfortable to use in my opinion.

either way the game itself is great but i prefer playing it on the xbox 360 :)

what about u guys????????

oh and please dont say PC!!!!! (yes, i agree pc beats controllers for fps games but this is strictly ps3 vs xbox 360)

I played all the CoD games on PS3, all my friends play on it and i have like a huge clan as well so PS3 :D. also love the controller

yeah controller thread pretty much, cuz well ps3 and xbox 360 fps games usually hav equal graphics (i dont get why ppl say ps3 has better graphics)

anyways u guys got use to the ps3 controller, its been like a week using it and i still havent been able to get use to it... .:( it feels way too weird to use

if they put a keyboard/mouse option its a hands down winnter :) didn't they hav that for ut3?????

It all comes down to opinion, but SO FAR (Killzone 3 and Resistance 3 could change my opinion) the 360 is better than the PS3 for FPS games IMO. And believe me, I don't want to say it is because I love my PS3 and I dont really care for the 360. That said Halo > KZ2 IMO. But KZ3 appears to be quite good so I will hold judgement.

That said, PC owns both of them :P.

Oh I just read this is about controllers I guess lol. In that case:

PC > Wii > PS3 = 360

I play on both systems and prefer the PS3 for a few reasons , on the 360 you cant mute everyone all the time , you have to do in the lobby each game . The 360 is very loud and gets annoying after a few hours , and the headsets suck because of the wire that goes to the controller and they are made very flimsy and have yet to get over 6 months out of one .

But anyway, I'd personally say Xbox 360 as I find the controller to be better, but one can't go wrong with either to be honest. When it comes to current-gen consoles, I only have a PS3 and I think it's great for the shooters I've played.

This isn't about FPS and the two consoles, it's about BO and the two consoles. False title is false.

KB&M>360>PS3>Motion controls. (motion control have yet to prove they have the fidelity to be any more than a novelty yet)

You can get triggers for the ps3 controller.

With that said, the 360 controller feels like it runs to much on a axis with up/down left/right which takes away the angles feeling smoothly like on the ps3. Also the concave layout of sticks on the 360 controller leads to that axis feel, while the convex top to the sticks on the DS leads to better all around motion while in game.

Also the dpad being where it is allows for easy movement from a running direction on the stick to sliding easily up to the dpad for quick commands.

The placement of the triggers on the 360 controller feels weird when having to reach up and over that seperator to the Rpaddle or L Paddle for grenade tossing. While on the DS you just slip easily down to the R2 or L2 buttons to do this and back up again to go back to shooting.

The 360 controller may have comfort, but I think the DS is better for being quicker and easier access to its button layout for games.

For some odd reason I like playing COD games on my 360 (friends, controller and is usually the better version then the PS3).

All other FPS I play on my PC. (Crysis, Metro 2033, Bioshock. ect ect)

As far as controllers go,the 360 is the one better suited for FPS´s.

I prefer xbox 360 controller for FPS games, but I can play them on PS3 just fine. I think thumbsticks on PS3's controller feel a little softer or more sensitive than on 360 which is why some people find it more difficult to play on.
