Truth about PS3 - Must read for All PS3 owners

Something to think about the PS3 and how far it has come. I'll try to keep this short and simple:

So I come to these forums very often and try to keep up with all of the news surrounding the PS3 and its games and such. But lately (once again) the flaming of the console has returned and in a big way. I remember the month of MARCH, it was so good for the console, people were happy, new games were coming out, and the rumble was coming back too. But as the month passed by people again have started to badmouth the PS3, main reason is lack of good games. Games were getting delayed and bad ports such as SC DA and FEAR just added fuel to the fire. Things are getting so bad now that even the PS3 owners are starting to doubt the console and its future.

            So here's what I think the PS3 has accomplished since its launch: If there is one title that is a MUST have for the PS3 owners, is Resistance: FOM, which is the only title that truly delivers the Next-gen feel and its action-adventure which anybody can enjoy. (BTW I'll never buy R: FOM b/z of the motion sickness problem). Another great achievement PS3 has taken is the success of Blu-Ray Format. No offense but the "9.5 Oblivion" has limited success b/c its an RPG game therefore not everybody has bought it.  Other games such as Motorstorm, Tekken 5, Ridge Racer, and Virtual Fighter 5 have been reported good to mediocre by the media and the critics.

            Now to the point, PS3 has all kinds of raw power that easily will last another 5-10 years, but so far developers have made very little use of that power and gamers are still very hungry. Blu-Ray is doing well but I remember somebody saying that some people are happy just with a gaming console, others like myself are amazed by other advanced features of the PS3. So people please do not loose faith in this console b/c even though this is slow start for the PS3, it is a huge console and does need to warm up before it can take over the gaming industry. The future lineup of games for the PS3 is huge and developers such as Bethesda*, Insomniac, Konami, Activision, EA, (people who make Burnout) are learning to work with it and if they can give PS3 a chance (unlike UBISOFT), then this will be a very happy ending for the PS3.

Please write comments and questions and let me know if you guys agree, disagree with me on this.

PS3 has all kinds of raw power that easily will last another 5-10 years

Easily?  I know I won't be playing my PS3 in 10 years.  I'll have traded it in for a PS4 most likely.  Maybe the extreme late adopters will want to play the PS3 in 2017, but not me.

Man, you think the PS3 is on the plank with your post. Heh, calm down, it's the effect of you being in SW too long. Know that Sony is 100% behind their product.shungokustasu

What are you basing this off? PS1 was still getting Sony support until 2004. PS2 came out in 2000.

Man, you think the PS3 is on the plank with your post. Heh, calm down, it's the effect of you being in SW too long. Know that Sony is 100% behind their product. Right now, you see the misguided people who were alienated by the $600 price tag. As the price drop comes down, more people will start to warm up to the system. Wise man knows the only reason they talk about it is because they want one. Sony has this gen in the bag, but I'll pretend like they don't for SW sake.shungokustasu

I don't agree that Sony has this gen in the bag yet, but the rest of what you speak is pure TRUTH. They're not done yet, the PS3 is far from "dead,"  Sony is not despairing of this venture yet, and sales have been far from horrible. 

No offense but the "9.5 Oblivion" has limited success b/c its an RPG game therefore not everybody has bought it.

I wonder if nobody includes all of the people who already have it on the 360 and PC a year ago. Also, it really doesn't help your cause by bashing a game simply because "It's an RPG"...

Thanks for clearing that up and what I meant was that PS2 is a great example of how long a console can live - plus with the kind of perfection in technology the PS3 has come up with, it will be here for a long long time, just look at the PS2, its still doing great business despite all this competition and Sony still backs it up fully.

I wrote this specifically for the PS3 forum and didnt want to compare it or it's context to any other console so I was talking only for PS3 owners and the PS3 oblivion. Later on someone suggest i post it here in SW's so i did and thats why it came across as an attack on the game itself but I didnt mean that to happen.

Well, regardless of whatever standing the game had with the 360 or PC, why would you weaken your console of choice's game selection by deriding one of the genres that set it apart from most others last generation. Clearly no one buys games like Final Fantasy... being RPGs and all. 

Yes, PS3 will indeed pick up. I don't own one, but R&C make me want it badly.MuereLoco

He's not putting it down, he's merely stating that because it's an RPG it's less popular. If anything, he's insulting the market that buys shallow shooters like Black over more intellectual stuff like Oblivion. All he's saying is that it's in a less popular genre.

If I say "not everyone buys Psychonauts" did I insult the game? Heck no!

True, I wasnt trying to put it down, only mentioned it on purpose cuz even tho its an AAA game, it's still a multiplat and less popluar and will not make or break the PS3.

The PC sucks for Racing, fighting, and Sports games, when compared to the consoles.

PC rules for fps however, at the moment 

I agree but I have lost all hope. My PS3 WAS THE FAVORITE BUT IT MAKES ME SAD TO SEE THE ps3 LOSE. But I doubt it will. 360 has slowed in sales. Wii if it win I will quit gaming forever. I don't like it but loved gamescube. SulimanItachi2

I dont understand. Who cares which console is #1 or not. As long as you enjoy playing the games you like. If you love the games that are on the ps3, who cares what others have to say about it. No point of stop being a gamer cause some other console came in 1st place in the console war. You should see it in a different perspective. Competition is good, it ensure us that companies will try hard to please the public to compete with other businesses. If not they probably give us overpriced half-arse products without taking any regards to the consumer/fans consideration  cause of no competition.

So people please do not loose faith in this console b/c even though this is slow start for the PS3, it is a huge console and does need to warm up before it can take over the gaming industry.

Some ppl might care about the features the ps3 offers and some dont. i dont understand why you are preaching to ppl not to lose faith. Isnt it their choice and right? Isnt the important matter that you have a ps3 and you dont have any regrets with it. Instead of worrying about others losing faith in the console and what not.

 How do you know ubisoft didnt try their best with the ports that are available on the ps3. you said it yourself developers are still trying to learn and work with the ps3. If ubisoft are trying to sabotage ps3 why has sony done anything yet to prevent it. There are a lot of ubi games still coming out for the ps3 in the future. 

Actually PS3 with its "raw power" can last only until end 2007 max, PC is already 2-3x the speed and DX10 destroys PS3 and 360 easilly

greg_splicer

Where does that put the Wii then?

Can we please stop comparing consoles to PCs already. Its just gotten ridiculous. Any game of any genre will always be superior on a PC. Lets do this: Since the PS3 and 360 are basically high end machines of the console world, lets compare them to a high end PC in the PC world. Okay, so we got a PS3 and 360. Now, compare games on those to a PC with 2gb Corsair DDR2 800, Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme QX6700, and 2x 8800 GTXs in SLi. That can run games at a resolution of 2560 x 1600 with 16x AA and 16x AF. Who do you think wins?

Back on topic: The PS3 has gotten a slow start. Few games to choose from (only 2 exclusives worth mentioning) and lack of content has really hurt the PS3 and the general impression that people get. When it comes down to it, the PS3 and 360 are pretty much on par with each other. And with the PS3 getting ports from the 360, of course they are not going to get as good scores. Ports are never as good as the original. That is a given. I'd just like to see a game optimized on the PS3 and ported to the 360. Then we will know for sure whether or not its the devs or the console itself.

Frankly, I am sick of waiting for the PS3 to show it's "TRUE" power.  It is retarded. The xbox shoed it was more powerful than the PS2 from day 1. We didn't have to "Wait til march, those games are going to pwnnn!", then "Wait til fall, you are going to see how powerful this console is!", now it is "Once the Devs figure out the architecture, it will own the 360!". Well I find that completely idiotic. Why should I have to wait around for God knows how long, while my 360 keeps churning out great games? My PS3 just sits there looking pretty, and it sucks at that even because of the Gloss black makes every damned spec of dust stand out like a sore thumb.

            Now to the point, PS3 has all kinds of raw power that easily will last another 5-10 years, but so far developers have made very little use of that power and gamers are still very hungry. Blu-Ray is doing well but I remember somebody saying that some people are happy just with a gaming console, others like myself are amazed by other advanced features of the PS3. So people please do not loose faith in this console b/c even though this is slow start for the PS3, it is a huge console and does need to warm up before it can take over the gaming industry. The future lineup of games for the PS3 is huge and developers such as Bethesda*, Insomniac, Konami, Activision, EA, (people who make Burnout) are learning to work with it and if they can give PS3 a chance (unlike UBISOFT), then this will be a very happy ending for the PS3.

Please write comments and questions and let me know if you guys agree, disagree with me on this.

PS: Already posted this in the PS3 forum but somebody said Post it in SW as well, and so this is my first post in SW ever.

You could have just bought a 360 and had plenty of great games to play right now - and for the last year and a half.  You should have waited to buy the PS3 when it actually had great games.  This what I don't understand about the stupid "brand loyalty" so many of you live by. Go where the games are.  Right now, the best collection of games is on the 360.

And yes...  if the PS3 ever has a decent collection of games...  I will buy one.  I just hope it has rumble by then, as well.

Easily? I know I won't be playing my PS3 in 10 years. I'll have traded it in for a PS4 most likely. Maybe the extreme late adopters will want to play the PS3 in 2017, but not me.

I said 5 TO 10, meaning could be in between 5-10... sheeesh so thats why they call it System WARS...

Thanks for clearing that up and what I meant was that PS2 is a great example of how long a console can live - plus with the kind of perfection in technology the PS3 has come up with, it will be here for a long long time, just look at the PS2, its still doing great business despite all this competition and Sony still backs it up fully.

The perfection in technology!?? BWAHAHAHAA!!! Could you POSSIBLY make any more of a blatant fanboy remark? The PS3 is far from perfect, nothing about it even approaches perfect.

yep, id stay away from system wars.

its evil.

The truth about the ps3 is that its an overpriced entertainment system, not really a gaming platform, who's primary purpose is to serve as a trojan horse for the new format wars (a new format that nobody really wants yet).

Sony just wants to sneak in their format into your house so they can claim victory and make money hand over fist for merely creating a medium with more space; its not about the games. Its about the cash.

Thanks for the advice, looks like this is my first and last thread in SW.
