Seems almost sorta even. Xbox 360 doesn't have that many shooters this year, at least nothing thats not multi-plat. PS3 is getting Killzone 2. Either one.

You should go check out Resistance 2

Its going to have two completely new campaigns. One of them is co op/single while the other one is 8 player co-op. It also has 64 player online battles... i think that game is going to be great.

Console-wise, all three have a good amount of shooters. But if you're not stingy on money, then I suggest you get a good gaming PC, because that has more shooters than all three consoles combined.

You aren't worried that one of them will be less good than the other and that both will be lessened due to both being focused on?

I'd go PS3 for exclusives like Unreal Tournament 3, Killzone 2, and the big one Resistance 2. If you haven't looked into Resistance 2 go do a search. The game is going to be awesome.

I'd say 360 only because the PS3's offerings are fairly unproven. Killzone 2 and Haze (is Haze even exclusive?) are both unproven and while Resistance 2 is shaping up well, I'm not entirely sold on it being a killer app. They could all be AAA masterpieces, or they could be A or lower. With the 360 you already have a solid lineup of shooters like Halo, Gears, PDZ (its a good game, just not AAA good) and others. Hell even most of the 360's RPGs (Mass Effect, Too Human, Fable 2) are going to feature guns in some form or another.

That said if you're really into shooters you need a good PC.

Im excluding the PC from my list because not everyone can have a rig that can play all those games im just comparing the 360's and the ps3's gameing lineup like the TC asked.

Far cry 2 and left 4 dead are on the ps3 and 360 (left for dead)

I see, I thought left 4 dead was PC/360 only though? same with Far Cry 2?

Even though I dont believe in console exclusives neither do the mods, those are both 360 exclusive, and well ... will much likely be more fun that both of those AA & B franchises despite graphics on left 4 dead.

Unreal Tournament 3 isnt exclusive to PS3, the best version is on PC and its comming out on 360. Killzone 2 may or may not be good considering the first one sucked. And Resistance will be good. But for shooters, I say PC>360>PS3>Wii.

360 potentially has GeoW2 which should be awesome..

PS3 has Killzone 2 which has many mixed feelings, due to the fact that we've only seen one level of dark, dingy gameplay..

Many also have high expectations for Resistance 2, as well.. Either way its going to be a good year..

If you want shooters go for the 360, it has tons of shooters(Way more than PS3), a controller pratically made for FPS and great multiplayer.

Don't go near the PS3, the 360 is where all the shooters are at.. If you want to spend over $1000 to play Crysis on medium settings, go right ahead not stopping you but if you want value for money and a great range of shooters get the 360. You will see hermits saying things like PC has more games than all 3 consoles combined, thats cause they like to include last gen games and games that came out years ago. So if you want to know which has more shooters this year. 360 obviously.

I agree, I have all three system and I'd have to say regardless of which system has more or less. My opinion is that part of what makes a shooter great is how cool is it on line. COD4, HALO3, GEARS etc. these were killer games on-line I own all three systems and playing UT3 was the closest I came to enjoying a on-line game on my ps3 the system just doesn't do it for me for on-line games. the Wii I haven't even tried connecting on-line yet. The PC, I used to be a PC fanatic but to play a game like Crysis you need to sale you kidney on the black market to afford a system that can play it! I now you have to pay for XBL but in reality it costs the same as a cup of Joe at Starbucks.

Both will have great shooters this year - but if you're an overall shooters fan, the 360 is the way to go (unless, of course, you're a PC gamer).

ignore the_h_bomb....he would kill himself before saying anything negative about the PS3

as of RIGHT NOW Xbox 360 or a gaming PC is the best way to go for shooters. All of these PS3 games you keep hearing about aren't even out yet and no one has ANY clue whether or not they will be of quality found on PC and the Xbox 360.

Is quantity better than quality? Also I'd consider which method of control you prefer, and if its not mouse/keypad which console has the best controller for playing shooters.

If you are talking about highprofile/hyped games, probably the PS3. Off the top of my head it's supposed to have Resistance 2, KillZone 2, and Haze.

I'm really intrested in seeing if these titles can live up to the hype but so far nothing I'm seeing from X360 is as highprofile as these titles.

jimhogg

why would you think that? Is hgears of war 2 the same game as gears of war 1? likewise is Resistance 2 the same game as Resistance 2?

and lets also not forget that Metal Gear solid 3 was better than Splinter Cell Double Agent. Final Fantasy 12 was better than mass effect.
