You do realize that it was Rare, Ubisoft, and Bethesda that were making games for the 360 when it launched and through 06, while Sony has had no one making games for them except Ninja Theory and Factor 5.

The thing has sold almost 5 million though...that is pretty amazing.

That is more killer apps than the 360 has or is getting. The only official killer app 360 has is Gears and probably Halo. I will give you guys Mass Effect becuause I listed LBP, but the PS3 really does have more proven powerhous IPs on its side than 360. Oh, and here is a little fun fact, the console that houses the main Final Fantasy series always wins the "console war". Well, isn't that somthing! Plus things are not looking very good for Halo 3, I heard it was demoed behind closed doors at E3 and the press was far from impressed. Apparently it is not changing enough in its gameplay formula for the press.

papa_smurf_23

MGS4- ok

FXIII-ok

Killzone 2-How do you know that it's gonna be a killer app?

LittleBigPlanet-Please, that is not a killer app, it's creative though

i'm guessing killzone 2 will be a killer app because of hype/sony marketing first and foremost. Remember the gears of war ads, that must of had a really big impact. it was a brand new i.p. Think how much hype killzone has right now. If reviewers like it and give it AAA's sony will have Advertisments making sure people know this.I'm not gonna be foolish and say AAA guranteed. but it'll probably be a killer app

the problem is, and this goes for the ps3 and 360, is that these consoles appear to have been FLOODED with sequels its just "worse" with the ps3 because it's been the one thats been getting ports of sequels and its been a pretty bad stigma for the ps3 so i dont see why being hopeful of an new IP is bad.... just the whole "OMGZ its a new IP, chalk up another AAA game (that has yet to be released) so i can ee where your coming from with this but just remeber why people get hyped with new IP's

hyperboy152000

I know why people get hyped, I am looking forward to lair, bioshock, mass effect just as much as the next guy, but you don't see me running around saying every game I hope will be good. I know lemmings are just as bad about hyping games AAA, and bashing the other console. I can be a bit more lenient to the lemmings though, because the PS3 really has no great games right now, where as cows try to dismiss all the great 360 games. The PS3 has R6:V, Oblivion, and Resistance, that is about it. 2 of those games are on the 360 as well.

I'd like to point out that MGS4 and FF13 are rumored to appear on the 360. Also I automatically distrust any info on Killzone 2 because I recall the cows used the same rhetoric for Killzone 1 and look how that turned out. You guys used to allways brag about DMC4 but hmmmm now its on 360 too...

dude i was countering the fact that you said "futureproof = crap"... and i said lemmings say things like "Lost odysseyAAA confiermed" which isthe exact kind of predicting everyone does here; lately non-stop.

what is the name of this thred?

thread/

Filonus

I though you were meaning future proof, as in the hardware is so advanced that it is future proof. I don't even know why you would use the term future proof in any other context, it just makes no sense to me.....

The same thing was said about the 360 until GeoW came out. PS3 hasn't reached that point in its lifecycle yet and its supposed to be harder to develop for. I don't understand why people hold PS3 at a higher regard than the mighty 360. Same with madden. 3rd madden on the 360 finally reaches 60 FPS yet the PS3 was supposed to get there in 2 iterations. I just don't get it.iwo4life

Well after all the hype Sony put forth for the PS3, it is only logical to expect MORE out of it, than it's competition can offer. Next gen doesn't start til we say so, 4d gaming, etc. They MADE people hold the PS3 to a higher standard, it is their fault it is not living up to it as well. Don't hype and under deliver, maybe they will learn a valuable lesson for next gen.

Not one of those games is out. LOL. Something cannot be a killer app until it is released. 2 are almost gauranteed killer apps, 1 could go either way, the other is almost certainly not going to be a killer app. I will let you decide which ones I am talking about.

some lousy rumors there... its been shot down about a 1000 times but everyone keeps bringing it up. and i love how you can make assumptions that since killzone 1 was a flop killzone 2 must be bad. doesnt it look like theyre pumping alot of time and money into this game? its coming together great. if that demo didnt impress you than you really are being a fanboy. its not like developers cant go the other way - start out making great games then start to make mediocre ones (Rare). whats to say that devlopers cant learn from their mistakes? its pretty naive to call out what looks like an impressive game just to suit your argument.

The true testament to how much the PS3 lacks is the fans who brag about things that are coming out later.

Ok well first of all, one killer app game like halo or ssbb doesn't make a system. If you seem to remember, the gamecube and xbox may have had those"killer apps" but they sold like crap compared to the ps2.The ps3's lineup for 07' is quite solid with a lot of great looking quality games like Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and clank, Lair, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and of course Earlier versions of Haze and UT3 ( for which ps3 get to use mods and keyboard/mous), not to mention the popular online title from ps2 socom and warhawk. All in all this seems like quite a good ps3 holiday season, something reminiscent of the ps2 which had several quality games at a time like this. Not to mention, ps3 has several killer app franchises such as Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Tekken, Killzone, Gran Turismo, and even Ratchet and Clank can be considered quite an attractive franchise considering the games have sold millions of copies. Finally sony has at least 100 million potential customers in the ps2, people who adored these same franchises even though they are not halo, and who are waiting to pounce on a ps3 once their favorite franchise comes out whether it be ratchet and clank, mgs, final fantasy. So really if you look at, the ps3 has several killer app franchises and a good quanitity of exclusive coming out this holiday and next year.

I love how you assume that every PS2 owner is interested in the PS3. LOL. I know quite a few who have switched camps already....

[QUOTE="HuhJustaBox"]

This thread is hysterical!:lol:

Let me count the funnies.

1. RFoM is the only good game PS3 has? Really? Hmmm, Motorstorm, VF, Oblivion, RS:V, NGS, The Darkness, etc. all seem to disagree. I just love how none of the multiplats count when you are talking about the PS3, but when one talks about the 360 they suddenly count to show how it has an "amazing" gaming library. RS:V has been voted by many as better than GeoW and many claim that they play that online and find it more fun than Geow, but somehow it just does not count that it is on the PS3 too.

Oh, and just because Oblivion came out on 360 first, does not mean that everyone played it. Many people (like myself) only purchase one system per generation. Well, since I went with PS3--then guess what, I didn't play it yet--so it counts as a great game in the PS3 library, just like it counts for the 360s library.

2. PS3 has no killer apps? By what definition. The TC mentions the new Smash Brothers? WTF!?! I played that on a friends GC, and I have to ask--what does anyone see in that trash? The fighting mechanics are not much better than Double Dragon! The game is a joke. Tekken, SF, VF, DOA are all excellent true fighter games. Smash brothers is a casual trash of a game that is nothing more than a button masher--so how does this count as a killer app? Oh and I can see you pulling the "oh but its popular card"--well so is Mario Party-but that game is trash too. What about Madden--it is uber popular, but I don't think anyone would ever consider it to be a "great" game.

And it seems that your definition of a killer app is seriously flawed. You seem to only be counting multiplayer type games--of the online variety. Last time I checked MGS, FF, GoW, RC, Jak, Twisted Metal, etc could all be considered killer apps--yet they don't have online functions (well for the most part they don't). Just because Lair, Uncharted, HS, R&C do not have that much multiplayer built into the game does not take away from the killer app status. They all look to be amazing.

Anywho--if you are only counting multiplayer online--RFoM has excellent 40 player online, Motorstorm has insane online, Warhawk got rave beta reviews, Socom anyone?, UT3 (it won't be out on 360 until Spring--so I guess by all of the peoples arguements on Oblivion not counting for PS3 then this won't count for 360, but in all seriousness it still will, however--the PS3 supports Mouse and Keyboard and Modds--so it wins hands down). Well there are three online great PS3 games off the top of my head that are coming out this fall.

3. PS3 is losing 3rd party support? Really? People are mentioning GTA, RE, and DMC. Well GTA has never been exclusive and didn't RE come out first on GC and had several exclusive RE games on GC? So how is Sony losing RE support exactly? Oh thats right--its NOT! DMC is the only one that I see--Wow, one game. And Katamari--you even mentioned this is really funny. Too bad you forget to mention that the devs are creating a new IP that is exclusive to the PS3.

I will agree that it is most likely that some 3rd parties are going to make multiplat games instead of exclusive (not because of PS3 sales or problems that fanboys makeup, but because it is so expensive to make games for next gen systems that devs are going to have to make games multiplat just to make a profit)--but the bottom line is that you can still play them on the PS3--last time I checked. Its not like DMC is not coming out for the PS3 as well. Then the fact that Sony's first party studios are where most of the Playstation killer games come from--Twisted Metal, Crash, Socom, Gow, Jak, R&C, Uncharted, HS, Lair, GT, Killzone 2, and the list can go on into the night.

Anyways, thanks for making such a funny thread and making me laugh so hard. I really needed a good laugh, and you can usually find one at SW.

Filonus

well that pretty much wraps everything up here. move along.

"ps3 will phails" is wishful thinking as is "ps3 has no killer apps"

thread/

Exactly, but you have to love the fanboys! What crazy things they do come up with. What is next? How about instead of saying the PS3 has no good games--they say the PS3 can't even play games?

It is humorous to see these fanboys acting like the PS3 has nothing going for it and is an utter failure. I just don't understand the hate and ignorance. Each system has its pros and cons and none of the systems suck. Here is an idea, buy the system that makes you happy and enjoy it, instead of bashing systems that you don't own.

He is right that Sony was counting on brand loyalty to sell something that was less for more. PS3 took the emphasis off gaming to improve upon other branches of the corporation and Blu Ray is the biggest example. Those drives are pricey and just imagine how much more powerful they could have made PS3 if they did not take that road and used the money on important things like video memmory and CPU. Brand loyalty is the reason they thought they could get away with it. Unfortunately for them you are correct and many people have switched camps because they want the most out of their game dollar. The most stalwart cows are just the ones who are in love with their memmories of PS1 and 2 and think that SONY is a sure bet forever. Nostalgia does tend to cloud judgement though.

OK so wait...sony has a history of making great gaming consoles so alot of people buy it b/c they are a trustworthy gaming company and you say this is wrong.

Before you said KZ isnt a proven franchise so KZ2 will automatically be bad b/c its not a good developer.

See the contradictions? We shouldnt trust proven companies and we shouldnt trust non proven developers. This doesnt make sense. We should trust proven companies and trust proven developers. They deliver.

[QUOTE="---OkeyDokey---"]

Halo 3 and SSBB.

The ps3 desperately needs a game like this.

These are the sort of games that will sell and be played consistently throughout the entire generation. Games that will keep lemmings and sheep busy even in the slow summer months. Each will last as long as the ps3's entire 07 lineup and completely justify the purchase of the respective system they appear on. Both will likely exceed 8 million copies sold and drive hardware sales through the ceiling which is more than can be said about any ps3 game currently announced

This is one of the things that keep me on the fence about the playstation 3. I keep wondering what I'll be playing at the start of next year. Heavenly sword, Uncharted, R&C, lair are all quality titles, but lets face it: they could probably all be finished within a rental. Now the ps2 didn't have a game like Halo/Smash either but it made up for it with the sheer quantity of games (again, can't say that about the ps3)

What do you guys think.

Javy03

Variety.....the PS2 or the PS1 never had a game like Halo 3 and SSBB that had a 33% attach rate and there is a reason, their fans had their choice of solid games from ALL genres. The Xbox and GC were very limited in variety. Dependancy on one franchise does not lead to success.

Exactly. And its amazing to see lemming go, Oh, Halo sold 2 sold 8.25 million copies with a Fanbase of like 25 Million. and GT4 sold like 8.10 Million with a 120 Million fanbase

Its not that PS2 people don't buy games, its the PS2 has a diverse offering. JRPG, Sports, etc etc.

I mean what else on xbox sold like over 3 million

Oh the Hype argument. Sorry it didn't live up the hype generated by bad translations from out of touch Japanese CEOs. Sorry they tried to generate excitement about a product. Didn't MS boast free 4xAA with the 360? All games had to be 720p with 4xAA. Where is your hate for that apparent shortcomming.

I am not going to declare the PS3 dead because of its launch games and first year games riddled with ports from a completely different architecture. I am not that short sighted. It looks like some amazing games are coming out for the system around xmas. Around the same time as GeoW came out in the 360s lifecycle.

If Resistance is not a killer app then the RROD must be the killer app, right?

If resistance was a 360 exclusive and gears was a ps3 exclusive, I wonder how it would be rated by GS.

Resistance is not a killer app.....

If Resistance is not a killer app then the RROD must be the killer app, right?

If resistance was a 360 exclusive and gears was a ps3 exclusive, I wonder how it would be rated by GS.

The world will never know... What if MS made the PS2, and Sony made the xbox, I wonder how that would have turned out? See how retarded that is.

You are missing the point. Gears is over-rated. It is a great butdoes not deserver a GOTY. Even resistance is Great but not GOTY yet. But if I have to choice which is better (gears or resistance), I would sayresistancecause there is just morefeatures and content for the buck. Both are just great games butdoes not deserver GOTY.

I was trying to point out that GS reviewsare questionable.

Halo 3 and SSBB.

The ps3 desperately needs a game like this.

These are the sort of games that will sell and be played consistently throughout the entire generation. Games that will keep lemmings and sheep busy even in the slow summer months. Each will last as long as the ps3's entire 07 lineup and completely justify the purchase of the respective system they appear on. Both will likely exceed 8 million copies sold and drive hardware sales through the ceiling which is more than can be said about any ps3 game currently announced

This is one of the things that keep me on the fence about the playstation 3. I keep wondering what I'll be playing at the start of next year. Heavenly sword, Uncharted, R&C, lair are all quality titles, but lets face it: they could probably all be finished within a rental. Now the ps2 didn't have a game like Halo/Smash either but it made up for it with the sheer quantity of games (again, can't say that about the ps3)

What do you guys think.

---OkeyDokey---

true that.

it's amazing though, it's still outselling 360 worldwide on a month by month basis.... and it costs more.

Duh, the price is the number 1 issueright now that is holding the ps3 back. I am not a cow but a gamer who sees it as it is. gears does not deserve GOTY. Counterstrike or Starsiege Tribes v1.0 is more GOTY.

lol I went to bed and this thread got 400 posts overnight. its seems you have to make fanboys angry to get responses. cows you still haven't made a decent argument in 9 pages. do you really expect ps3 to have the number of awesome games that ps2 had? if you do then i understand why you cling to sony the way you do, but just letting you know it won't. okay let go. ps3 will be slaugtered this holiday.

Warhawk anyone? Yeah it may not be no killer app, but I can already see from what alot of gaming sites have been saying that the warhawk beta was alot funner then the halo 3 beta. That alone shows the potential for warhawk, and yes it will be a game us ps3 owners will enjoy for a few years if u want to talk about play value.

Final Fantasy is a killer app, definately.

MGS isn't so much, but FF will make the Japanese market explode.

I love Gears. I think it deserved GOTY. It is the most fun I have had in a long time. I know what you are doing. You are using the GS is biased argument. I think their reviews, for the most part, are spot on. Then again, I am not a fanboy....

No, Warhawk is not more fun than Halo 3. Get that out of your head right now. I was in the Beta. Don't believe that for a split second.

Warhawk's online options are robust, but to compare it to Halo is to comapre the core gameplay and gameplay experience. they do not compare.
