PS3 has probably overtaken the 360 in the shooters department.

Providing, Killzone 2 is as good as they say it is. There's two games that stick out to me when I think Xbox 360 shooters, and thats Halo and gears. But, really, after all these years, these games are starting to show there age. Halo 3 was fairly bland, lets be honest here, the game never smashed any visual or audio benchmarks, let alone the fact its nearly a year and half old.

Gears, on the other hand, was amazing when it first came out, but gears 2 failed to nail the initial nostalgia and overall brilliance. Maybe gears was so special because it was the first next-gen feeling game in the time of games like Perfect dark. Sorry cliffy B, but merely making a new (worse) story on exactly the same engine, with some chainsawing chucked in did not make gears 2 anything special.

But Killzone...killzone 2 is something else. It seems to be immersing beyond belief. The visual are probably the best on consoles, and this was confirmed in the alpha (preview code). The physics and ragdoll of the effects of the game are sensational; the developers made a Bailey video out of them. And the sound, is probably the games most impressive trait beside graphics. 90 minutes of tear jerking (literally its made people cry) orchestral music dynamically played throughout the game to match whats going on. Killzone 2 is the future of shooters. (Oh, I've even played it, I was in there beta.

Of course this is dependant on gamespot verdict, I'm highlighting potential here rather than fact.

Killzone 2 and Resistance are low tier shooters no one cares about, while Halo and Gears of War are record shattering, GOTY winning, AAA games with millions of players.

The only thing the PS3 beats the 360 on is that it costs more, which isn't a good thing.

Resistance is a ghost town - Halo 2 has 10 times more people playing online than Resistance. Killzone 2 will flop like Killzone 1, and Resistance 2 is already forgotten about.

The Xbox 360 also gets the PC shooters as well, while the PS3 gets sloppy seconds if it is lucky. Sony is trying real hard to become the shooter console but instead it's a failure. I mean why buy a PS3 for Resistance and Killzone 2 with Xbox 360 has Halo and Gears of War?

probably because we can only LOOk at the game right now, well most cows. For the people in the beta (inc. me) and journalist, feedback has been pretty much completely positive.

It's practically all facts.

The thing is that the Xbox 360 owners are so used to good shooters, it's nothing to us. PlayStation is new to shooters (the N64 had Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Turok, Xbox had Halo, Unreal Championship, Chronicles of Riddick) so they are still trying to figure out what works best, but Sony will never have that "hit" like Microsoft does because the PlayStation brand is not meant for shooters.

but where's the facts?

You are aware that Ps2 sold 150m+ consoles right? With Xbox at what? 40m?

FOR THE PEOPLE SAYING THE GAME IS ALL GRAPHICS AND BAD GAMEPLAY:

I, among many others, have played in the BETA. 99% of those people(including myself) felt the gameplay was incredible, and that was without the entirely 1st person cover system that's featured in multiplayer. The graphics in the ONLINE MULTIPLAYER BETA easily walk all over Gears and other console game out right now.

Polished single player retail build is really gonna obliterate all other console games. The lighting, animations, GAMEPLAY, textures, sound, just about everything is perfect in this game, the only thing that is a tiny, TINY bit disapointing is that it doesn't have co-op, although it's going to be patched after launch.

Go read all the previews for the game, all of them have come out of it extremely hyped about the full game, find a bad preview for Killzone 2 please. There have been countless very positive ones.

Kinda went on a little rampage there, but it's just annoying how people cant see the beta testers and countless websites hailing this game and they still think it's gonna flop.

Any facts in here???

What did I say that was untrue? Resistance 2 FLOPPED in sales, Gears has sold it 4 times over. Halo 2 has an average 2,500 players online today while Resistance has only 250. PS3 usually never gets PC games and when it does, they are sloppy seconds (such as BioShock and The Orange Box).

Xbox 360 has The Orange Box, BioShock, Halo 3, Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Left 4 Dead, Perfect Dark Zero, Prey, FEAR and a lot more.

Yeah and I find that very strange. Last gen most Playstation fans were big time RPG fans and Xbox fans were shooter fans, now it's the opposite.Bigboi500

I own the first resistance, played it for maybe 4 hours and never turned it on again. Felt like a below average ps2 shooter. Played a beta of the second one, found it to be the same so I lost interest in it. I liked the first killzone and the second one may actually turn out really good. However the ps3 controller just plain sucks for FPS, the trigger placement makes it hard just to fire. The 360 will always have the controller advantage over the PS3.

I think a lot of people don't really understand that Killzone is a pretty hard FPS, most have not played the first game, it's not like Halo at all really. I heard one guy say he died over 400 times on the last level of Killzone 2 on the hardest setting. It's not going to sell PS3 imo as it's to hardcore for the masses. I've played the first game quite a bit online, I like it, I know what to expect. I think a lot of PS3 owners are not really ready for what awaits them.Nicky_Don

dont even start comparing

because my skill with fps is the same on ps3 and xbox 360(im good) and i perfer the playstation controller always had ever sense psx came out.

but overall with just fps in general always the mouse ftw.

Each console has great shooters. And Resistance 2 was not a flop. In the end its the matter of personal preferences. However if you enjoy it why does it matter that another console has other good shooters?

What made Sony successful were games like Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy, Tekken, and all those which are now on the Xbox 360. Halo 3 and Gears of War 2 are superior shooters to whatever the PS3 has to offer, and more people play them. Killzone is a good looking game with no substance (like the original Killzone was) and will flop. PlayStation brand will NEVER get good shooters.

Providing, Killzone 2 is as good as they say it is. There's two games that stick out to me when I think Xbox 360 shooters, and thats Halo and gears. But, really, after all these years, these games are starting to show there age. Halo 3 was fairly bland, lets be honest here, the game never smashed any visual or audio benchmarks, let alone the fact its nearly a year and half old.

Gears, on the other hand, was amazing when it first came out, but gears 2 failed to nail the initial nostalgia and overall brilliance. Maybe gears was so special because it was the first next-gen feeling game in the time of games like Perfect dark. Sorry cliffy B, but merely making a new (worse) story on exactly the same engine, with some chainsawing chucked in did not make gears 2 anything special.

But Killzone...killzone 2 is something else. It seems to be immersing beyond belief. The visual are probably the best on consoles, and this was confirmed in the alpha (preview code). The physics and ragdoll of the effects of the game are sensational; the developers made a Bailey video out of them. And the sound, is probably the games most impressive trait beside graphics. 90 minutes of tear jerking (literally its made people cry) orchestral music dynamically played throughout the game to match whats going on. Killzone 2 is the future of shooters. (Oh, I've even played it, I was in there beta.

Of course this is dependant on gamespot verdict, I'm highlighting potential here rather than fact.

Rhys555

All your reasons were abut the graphics and audio. I think KZ2 will be an amazing game, but what you've just done is described a particularly good movie. :|

Seriously, people don't point out the gameplay mechanics of KZ2 enough, like using Sixaxis in accordance with sniping. That's whats interesting about the game - or the clan features. There is so much more to this game than graphics, but all I ever here on System Wars is a bunch of nonsense about how KZ2's graphics will make it the greatest shooter ever.

Also, Halo 3 wasn't bland at all, if anything it was a breath of fresh air in a gen where every shooter is dominated with decidely brown-grey overtones and accentualized textures or purposeful grittiness. The gameplay was the same tried and true formula of melee-spamming grenade busting vechile mayhem. It's still one of the most played games on LIVE and likely one of the most popular online shooters out there. How is it showing it's age?

Resistance is a ghost town - Halo 2 has 10 times more people playing online than Resistance. Killzone 2 will flop like Killzone 1, and Resistance 2 is already forgotten about.

The Xbox 360 also gets the PC shooters as well, while the PS3 gets sloppy seconds if it is lucky. Sony is trying real hard to become the shooter console but instead it's a failure. I mean why buy a PS3 for Resistance and Killzone 2 with Xbox 360 has Halo and Gears of War?
