[QUOTE="blues35301"]

[QUOTE="ReverseCycology"] Halo and Gears are Microsoft exclusives that can be played on the Xbox and Game For Windows and not on any non MS systems. While Metal Gear is by Konami, a third party dev. The first time we saw Snake and the Metal Gear Gekkos this gen was in Brawl  on the Wii not MGS4 on the PS3.  Besides Metal Gear has been all over the place, even on the Xbox. ReverseCycology

 

Gears and halo still arent xbox exclusive. On the pc they have nothing to do with the 360 brand.

I said Microsoft exclusives.

That's fanboy talk.

No fanboy talk would be considering the Metal Gear franchise a Sony exclusive.  GameTrailers just stated that so far the PS3 does not have those great new exclusive franchises yet this gen.  The Xbox have created new great exclusive that was first found on an Xbox, and that's Halo and Gears, both became famous first on an xbox.

Read the whole damn article before posting.

***DISCLAIMER, 11-21-08, 17:42

I am a video editor not a writer/editorial staff therefore the views expressed in this entry do not represent those of Gametrailers.com.

 

Uhhh Hello Captain Save-a-crook, he does work for gametrailers and holds a job in their establishment. Anything he says or does represents them in some way. Its a risk you take when you sign up for a job.

Exactly. It's dumb to say it doesn't represent GT, if it didn't then he wouldn't have his job, how is this some guys opinion? he's talking on BEHALF of gametrailers by saying they're not biased, that means he has to represent that with FACTS. Not BS opinion like "360 controller is superior to PS3" and all of it's content is better, what the hell is that. Gametrailers has the best video reviews but its such a shame that it's obvious they're pro-360, i won't say they're anti-ps3 but they obviously like 360 more and will therefore give the edge to it.

Do any of you cows realize what a rediculous showing of yourselves you're making in this thread? 1. No everyone's opinion at any given place is universally in agreement. At nearly every site a different reviewer could give an entirely different score. Do you think and agree with everything your boss says? Afterall, if they hired you you MUST share identical opinions on every subject right? 2. Everything we get from these sites is opinion. Every review is an opinion. EVERYONE has biases...bias isn't bad...irrational bias is. 3. As the guys states, they're pro-360 because in their opinion the 360 is better, we want these sites to tell us what they truly think, don't get mad simply because it isn't what you want to hear. 4. There is nothing wrong with coming to the conclusion that one machine is better than the other. If reasons other than the systems and games lead them to their decision is when it becomes wrong. If they were pro 360 because MS was giving them money/incentive it would be bad. If they were pro 360 because they like the system and the games better then it isn't bad. Don't shoot the messenger.

When it comes down to it, if you enjoy either your PS3 or 360, that's all that matters! Who cares what some guy off GT says or anyone else says... that's just their opinion. If you enjoy playing games on your PS3, 360 or Wii (or whatever else), that's what counts! All this talk of fanboys blah blah, is crap!

Apparently you guys don't comprehend the fact that this is not GameTrailers, rather an individual's opinion. He even has a disclaimer...someone's right to express their feelings shouldn't be stifled because of where they work.

You do realise that Gears of War and Halo 3 are also third party devs? and metal gear solid 4, is more exclusive so far than those 2 games.

You know, though... he's right. The DualShock is an aging design that's much worse than the 360 pad from an ergonomic standpoint. It forces you to bend your wrists quite a bit more, the triggers are designed exactly opposite of how they should be (anyone ever seen a firearm with a convex trigger in their life?), motion control is a nightmare due to a lack of feedback (it's like playing a racing game with a non-FFB wheel), etc.. Even ignoring the stick placement, the DualShock 3 is chock-full of epic fail.

Here's an obvious test: hold your arms in front of your face and relax your wrists.  See the angle they're resting at?  Does it look anything like the angle of the grips on Sony's controller?  Now look at a 360 gamepad.  It's still not the same angle, but it's quite a bit closer. 

The PS3's hardware is alright, but as soon as Sony tried to fix the issues with their controllers, they were flamed to a crisp and forced to reuse the same tired design we've had since the Clinton administration - only somehow, they made it even worse.

the guys just voicing his opinion, the PS3 and th 360 are both out of date in certain things, the 360 still uses dvd 9, the ps3 has an outdated GPU and he's right about the controller, it seriously needs reinventing, and as we know most multiplats look and run better on 360 he has a point about that as well, to be honest i'm also fed up with people voicing there personal OPINIONS and getting flamed stupid by ignorant little fanboys.

I think he's just trolling, it's a joke, this guy sounds like some 12 year old halo kid, no way could he have a job. The stuff he accuses the PS3 of is partly true, but similar things could be said about 360. How is 360 NOT dated with a tiny DVD-9 and arcade models without HDD, suckiest d-pad in the history, online fees, RROD and lets face it, the graphics really aren't significantly better on either console. He blames PS3 for lack of innovation and story driven games, yet LPB and MGS4 pretty much annihilate anything on 360 in that regard. And why would only high selling FPS games matter when talking about controls, especially for a review site.

I completely dissagree about the ps3 controller, its perfectly good, i just used it, no problems.

Though sony does need to hype its games more.

He just made GT look alot worse then it was before he posted that.EVOLV3
Just proves again that fanboys can't stand the truth. The PS3 does have an incredible library, but the 360's simply trumps it. All this talk you cows like to speak about the 360 and PC sharing so many games doesn't even really matter seeing how most console gamers don't even own a high end PC for gaming. Most own a PC that gets the basic functions done and that's all they need. I for one don't plan on upgrading my computer anymore and I plan on running it down to the ground. Take a good, long look at the big name games for each console and if you can't see the 360's advantage, then you're obviously hating on the 360 simply because it's a MS product. I for one, plan on purchasing a PS3 once the price drops, but I do not plan on it taking me away from my 360 for even 1/4 of the time I play games.

He also posted it in the forums and it got closed for flamebaiting or something like that, and his blog had like over 500 comments so I'd say troll is succesfull despite trolling in his own blog. ME had a weak story, and it's a multiplat, dunno about Banjo's innovations but I'm pretty sure it's not up there with LPB.

He makes some good points, he makes some points that even the most hardcore of lemmings on system wars would balk at He's obviously a huge fanboy and like it or not he's representing Gametrailers. I dont know hopw you can defend crappy sites like Gametrailers or IGN, you've got to have some standards

um no...its just a preference, just like the ps3 dualshock controller is a prefrence for me...and if this guy actually thought about speaking from his head instead of his ass then he wouldn't have used exclusive games as examples...How the F*** are you supposed to know how halo 3 or gears of war would play like on a ps3 controller...for me its like this....

fighting games; ps3 controller

racing games; xbox 360 controller

shooting games; xbox 360 equal

sport games; ps3 controller

action/adventure; ps3 controller

platformers; ps3 controller

 and saying the 360 controller looks more masculine is retarded...they are the same size...give or take they just weigh differently...i guess lemmings have bigger fat hands than cows lol

I use GameSpot for the forums, GameTrailers for the videos and Eurogamer for the reviews. It's best that way, I believe.
