So was MGS4 the savior ps3 needed?

Im curious I still see MGS4 bash threads from time to time, and my question is to everybody not as a fanboy but as a people, was MGS4 t a saving graceor not?

I think it was big boost that was much needed by the ps3, show that the system can standon itsown 2 legs and walk comfortably, and that if devs take time [not there sweet time like kojima] can make decent games for ps3.

It's the best game this gen untill now, hands down.

PS3 takes 2008.

I still look at the PS3 and ask: What's the point? I don't see any value over the 360.farrell2k

It's the best game this generation, I can say that.

And I guess you can call it the PS3's saviour. Apart from the massive rise in PS3 sales the first week, it has also helped to keep the PS3 sales consistently at a respectable level.

Not really,but it owned ALOT of lemmings,but it helped the PS3 alot,mabey gave a few 3rd party support

LBP,gow3 are next

No, I don't think so . But I don't get the point of this thread . There's nothing wrong with my PS3 . It played GTA4, Burnout Paradise, Race Driver Grid, Soul Calibur 4 just as fine as your 360 . The only things the 360 has had this year were a few mediocre RPG's (sorry, just my opinion), Ninja Gaiden 2 (also not the next big thing) and a few interesting Arcade games like Braid and geometry Wars 2 . The PS3 had Super Stardust HD, WipeoutHD (verrrrry underrated here) and Siren Blood Curse as exclusives, so I guess this fight ends in ....a tie . Of course the 360 has its fantastic lineup from 2007 (no questioning about that, those games made the PS3 look pale back then) . However, 2008 is pointless to debate over whether the PS3 fails or blablabla . Microsoft released all its pride in 2007 in an attempt to gain market share , in which, I think it succeeded . It got a lot of PS2 fans , I think . However, it's the Wii that took over the most of the PS2 fanbase and got new market share, although not with conventional gamers .

Anyway, MGS4 is the best AAAE game, and a good reason to own a PS3 .

O yea.

I was sad to be missing out on this game (i own a 360) but then again i think most gamers (not fanboys) get that feeling once in a while....

Still prefer the 360 though

LBP is a savior, MGS4 is not. It helped, but there's a MGS game on every Sony console, so It's not a big surprise.

I'm happier with new IP's like Bioshock and LBP that just started appearing this generation.

O yea.

Thatd be good but im not that serious a gamer, im in the fianl years of my schooling which taks a lot of time away and i tend to spend a lot of money going out....

Ill probably buy a Ps3 and all the good titles at the end of this generation

Good thing it doesn't need saving.

The fact you don't have one means you're not allowed to talk about it. The gamecube and XBOX never needed saving last-gen, and they had tiny install bases and about 5 AAAE exclusives each by the end of the generation, PS3 is in a much better position, its only a few million behind the 360, and minus a few bubbles with the price drops, it outsells it around the world, it also has several really good exclusives, I don't think an AAAAE that no other console has, dictates the worst exclusives.

It showed me that the PS3 can do great games.

Which, no matter how I look at it, it is.

It's the best game this gen untill now, hands down.

Opinion does not equal fact. Sorry.

It proved the PS3 will indeed come stronger with it's games. And that the 360 doesn't have much to put against it in long-term.metalgear-solid

well i wouldn't go that far

Sorry dawg, I didn't know the rules.

I keep my PS3 very safe. It don't need MGS4. ;)mamkem6

in your closet or at a storage?

mgs4 is one of the big guns ps3 have,it has lost dmc and ffxiii(exclusivity)and those were blows,the bigest blow for me was star ocean 4 exlusive only for x360.it will be a sad day for ps3 owners if kindgom hearts 3 will be x360 exclusive

anyway till now mgs4 is the only big game ps3 users can use as a defence shield(although i enjoyed disgaea 3 alot more,but thats me hehe),but the future seems bright for ps3 with titles like wkc(new ip),ffxiii versus,tekken 6,lbp,gt5,killzone 2 all being huge games,i think those games will get 8,5+.

i am sticking with sony cause i want suikoden vi(konami will probably go ps3 only),zone of the enders(kojima here so yeah ps3),and mostly jrpg stuff.i still wait for star ocean 4 to be announced as a timed exclusive for ps3.

It's the best game this gen untill now, hands down.
