Sony's flood of games is still missing one major thing

3rd party exclusives .... PS3 won't be a winner or even close to it without being a machine that has all the games ONLY on it .... Sony's is trying hard, and their efforts are finally paying, i never thought that Sony can work its *ss this hard, but they need exclusive 3rd party support.

they need to get their prviously exclusive franchises back (even temporarly) , but as long as Sony mostly depends ONLY on their 1st party, things will be just ok, not good, not excellent .... just ok .

Aren't games like Demon Souls and Heavy Rain made by third party devs? I'm not too sure, but I think I've seen their previous games on different platforms before ( I pay zero attention to these things, TBH...I only stalk my favorite companies :P). DethSkematik

For me its irelevant if a game is from 1st , 3rd or 4th party , even if it's exclusive , it has to be good and fun to play thats all that matters.

Do you mean like Microsoft paying some serious money for it? Gta episodes, mw2 packs and such?tommyas

From Software is a third party but Demon's Souls was a joint venture directed by Sony.

is this really something worth complaining about

also the PC and Wii are still 3rd party exclusive kings

PS3 lacks games that appeal outside of the 15 to 35 male audience

I agree with this ^^^^. Why spend money on games that are going to play on your console anyway when you could put that money on developing your own exclusive titles which in turn improves your overall library.

Agent and Versus are third party :O but we all know how those things go !!

...and that's...a bad thing?

That's a pretty huge target range as far as age goes, but I believe LittleBigPlanet, Rachet & Clank, and Modnation Racers would be exceptions to that....

[QUOTE="FlamesOfGrey"][QUOTE="2mrw"] while both games were excellent ( reviews wise) ... a game like RE5, Tekken 6 would be more effective although they were subpar ..... some game just sell for its name.fastr

Yeah, and it also costs Millions of dollars to get big established franchises to stay exclusive. I'd rather Sony keep that money towards their 1st / 2nd Party and supporting indie developers (MM with Little Big Planet) and different games (QD with Heavy Rain). They will get Tekken etc... anyway as a multiplat but having their own new IP that they fully control is better in the long run..

your gonna need to bring proof for that.Also a big factor in a lot of multiplat can also be attributed to the economic downturn aswell and the fact companies like money so they are gonna release it on multiple platforms the landscape of this generation is a totally diffrent ball game than that of last gen.

I don't know if it's going multiplat that's why I said we all know how those things go! I think versus will probably go multiplat but agent.. not so much at least not for the time being.. maybe a few months after.

sony doesn't do that? :|

Yeah cuz 360 is just dripping with 3rd party exclusives not published by MS. :roll:Hahadouken

A HIT... A GAME THAT DOESNT TAKE 5 MONTHS TO SELL 2 MILLION, An Online service that doesnt make you wait 5 hours to download demos and updates, ETC..ETC....

I'm hoping Agent will be one of these games. Shame Rockstar aren't at E3. :(

Sony gets a ton of third party exclusives from Atlus and Nis. Trinity Universe comes out this month and 3D dot Game heroes came out in May

What flood of games are we talking about anyways? fastr

HR, resistance, Rachet aren't FFXIII, RE :? .... and that's the point. Sony has 1st party games already ..... not to metion paying to gain exclusivity is a deal .... if the dev. wanted to break out then, they will have to face legal problems .......... i bet MS knew that GTA episodes are going to be on PS3/PC after the x360, i bet that was on the contract, otherwise MS would be sueing R* for millions now. i hate timed exclsuivity but it works.2mrw
