When you make a game multiplatform it ends up sucking.

GTA IV while good isnt harnessing the true power of either the 360 or PS3....instead it panders to both their limitations instead of pushing them to new heights.

DMC4 is being made for both consoles and will end up a generic steaming pile of poo....I can already guarantee that Heavenly Sword will DESTROY this game. NOT because its for PS3 but because it's being made to one consoles strengths and not within the weakness barries of two.

I almost stopped console gaming last gen because games became soooo generic on Xbox and PS2 it was gross....Every 5 seconds another crapped out multiplat game hopped out...only to limit both consoles...eventually they looked better on Xbox...but looked far less as good than some of their exclusive counterparts....example...Abe Odyssey (launch game for Xbox looked frickin better than Staw Wars Episode III for PS2 and Xbox.......yay for multiplats!)

How about Silent Hill 4? A series that has set the standard for horror fans and spawned a great game to film movie WITH a sequel SUCKED when it multiplatted SH4....The Poop Room.... 

 

Anyways....who else wants this multiplat game destroying fad to end?

Ports and Multiplatformers - Ports are already existing games that were designed for a Console NOW being given to another console sometimes include improvements.

Multiplatformers - Games made with more than one console in mind...quality is not really an issue...mass marketing and giimcks need only apply EX: Madden who cares if they buy this we'll make 400 more !LOLOL!OL!OL!1

100% agree. Next-Gen Multiplatformers are just becoming cheap cash-ins and not living up to their full potential. The vast majority of my games I buy next-gen will be exclusive.

You have a good point. The best games are usually exclusives. However there are exceptions...Resident Evil 4 and Oblivion are good examples. However unlike other multiplats they spend a large amount of time porting them over. Maintaining the quality. Unlike most ports released at the same time.

O rly? How odd? A company defending their product lol? Unheard of says I!! :P

just how is that defending a product :? lets go over the article again

AN MATEO, Calif -- March 19, 2007 -- Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that the highly anticipated Devil May Cry 4, already in development for Sony Computer Entertainment's PLAYSTATION3 (PS3), is now also in development for Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and for PC. Each version of the game will be maximized to take advantage of the systems' strengths, leading to a breath-taking visual and gameplay experience. Devil May Cry 4 will be released simultaneously for the PS3 and Xbox 360 system.

in other words..they are creating the game for the 360 with its hardware in mind while focusing on the ps3 version of the game..is that so hard to understand?

1. BS claim by a company that was proved false when the first video showed the game sucked...even Joystiq said the game stunk with an hour of hands on....also making that claim in the age of Gears, Crysis, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock....madness.

2. Awesome below the belt shot at PS3 I almost pee'd myself lol'ing

Yes I agree that most Multiplatform games are crap. However its not because of the system or becuase the game is multiplatfrom, but because nobody takes their time developing quality franchises anymore. They get a hit and start crapping out crappy sequels.

Look at the recent pokemon games. They sell like hotcakes, but has the game-play changed? No, they slapped on Wifi and crapped out a sequel.

Final Fantasy 1-7 were great but look at all the crap Square is releasing and attaching the Final Fantasy name to.

Mario, I love the NES and SNES Mario Games. Nintendo is starting to turn out crap though, as they attach Mario's name to everything.

Star Wars, their are a few really good Star Wars games , but alot of the games with Star Wars attached are crap.

Rainbow Six, their are some good Rainbow Six games out but alot of crappy ones too.

Point is everybody is focused on making as much money as they can by turning out as many games as they can. Many of these games are half-assed, but every once in awhile a Gem like God of War or Gears of War comes out.

Lets hope that dev studios will stop being like EA and Ubisoft, and start following Kojima's lead and take their time to make a good game.

What about Oblivion? A solid AAA on every platform it has touched, improving constantly over time. The 360 got Lost Isles and the graphics update, whereas the  PS3 got graphical overhauls right from the start. Both console versions and the PC version of Oblivion are solid games - better even than the treasured "exclusives" they competed against.

Not that it's really necessary to tell you this because you probably already know this but what a company says it's going to do and what it ends up doing are two different things. For example, they said DMC4 would be exclusive to PS3.

Now the two of you, resume fighting...now!

I dunno man, some of my favorite games are multiplatform. KoToR, PoP:SoT, Half-Life, and RE4, and DooM (how did I forget DooM?!) just to name a few.

And the "yeah but only a few are good" argument is bull. The same can be said for single-platform games.
