.....naa, how about a real ghost busters game, where its 1st person (or 3rd) and u walk around gettin ghosts with your teams. could even be online too!OrcsP2

Making jokes? That sounds to be exactly like the Ghost Busters game that is slated for release later this year, should take a look.

As far as a new ideas, I'd really like to see a Battlefield-esque shooter set in a persistent world with land, air and sea figthing. Probably still a few years away from having a game with a massive scope like that, but would be nice to see.

There wasn't a whole lot of room left for a sequel, but I'd welcome a sequel of some sort with open arms since I actually had a lot more fun with it than I thought I would.

The greatest game system so far has been the PS2 that's still selling very good for the amount of time it's been on the market and the huge game library that is still growing. The 360 is hitting the limits of what it can do as for games, the technology in the 360 is fairly old. The PS3 is loaded with very new technology that hasn't been used in main stream PC's and some technology that is begining to show-up in main stream PC's.jimm895

What super-cool futuristic BS is Sony making the fanboys believe today? To say the PS3 is doing things a PC hasn't done is completely ridiculous. The Cell design had been tried way before the PS3 came around and was deemed a waste of time to code for and given up in it's infancy. The GPU is even worse off since it's basically the exact same as the GeForce 7900 GTX which is really dated now. It also has an extreme lack of memory. The only thing I can think that it has is the Sixaxis, which really, I wouldn't ever dream of using on a PC when I have the option of a mouse and keyboard. I would add Blu-Ray to the list, but the PC has had it longer than the PS3 has been around.

As far as the 360 dying in 09, I doubt it. MS has been known to beat dead horses to dust before giving the competition any space, don't see that changing with the XboX brand. And with nearly bottomless funds, MS will probably keep it going as long as they possibly can. If it did go down, I wouldn't regret buying mine, it was the first console I'd purchased in over a decade for a reason.

For me, PC rules them all, if I had to decide between my consoles or my computer, the choice would be a no brainer. That being said, there are a lot of people who enjoy not working past compatability issues, driver problems, hardware failures, data loss, ect, ect. Every rose has it's thorns and PC gaming is a perfect example of it. Consoles are the "safer" bet, any game you buy for your console is going to work without a problem most times. Can't count the number of times I've gotten a new PC game home to find out it won't work for me right off or has some annoying technical problem that I can't overlook. Example: I just got Kane and Lynch: Dead Men, and I have a great PC gaming setup, yet there is an annoying "hiccup" issue that occurs every few seconds that absolutely ruined the game for me since I can't make it go away no matter how many settings I change. Borrowed the 360 version from a friend and despite the platform being technically inferior, it ran without a hitch.

I can totally understand why people would avoid gaming on a PC, but I have fun working through a lot of the "issues" of PC gaming and have gotten used to not being able to unpackage a game and jump right in. If anything, I think the main reason people shy away from PC gaming is that technical problems can ruin the experience if you don't have the know-how or inclination to overcome them. Just watch the boards and see how many people whine and cry without end when their 360 dies and they're without a console for a month. Just imagine a failed power supply, or a faulty hard disk going bad and losing huge amounts of data and save games, it's problems like that that turn people off to the platform in general and the stiff price of entry in the U.S. compared to consoles.

Ever? Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, even with so many bugs it was some of the most fun I've ever had with a game.

2007? Crysis, The Witcher or World in Conflict. Would be happy playing any of them for hours on end, all extremely polished and great examples of why PC gaming isn't dying or dead.

Uncharted

99% of the people who played Crysis can't play it at anywhere close to full setings.

Nice way to bring up percentages when you have nothing to base it on. Uncharted looks good, but it's nowhere near Crysis, even with settings just on "High". But as for second best I'd have to go with Bioshock if just for the art direction. Not sure how it looks on the 360 but everything has an extremely polished and realistic look on the PC. And I'll throw in The Witcher, not technically amazing, but a really gritty and believable fantasy world.

Nice job with the Crysis pic on the lowest settings. No HDR + No Shadows + Sprites turned down, way to really show what it's capable of. Maybe if you would cap pics on something besides your own stone age PC...

it willl looks good but not suprass. As we have seen the past usually a high graphic game like crysis and far cry on pc set the bar for what can be done of the pc and is the target for the consoles at the time to reach at the end of their life span.LibertySaint

Don't remember a single console getting near F.E.A.R., Far Cry, Battlefield 2 or a handful of others. There were cheap knock-offs that played on great PC games successes, but they were watered-down at best. To think that a console with so little memory can pull off a massive game like Crysis with nearly the finesse of a top-of-the-line PC is just nuts, don't see any game on the PS3 even getting near some of the nicer things that were done in Crysis, mainly the volumetric lighting for sun rays through the canopy. And at this point I haven't seen a single console game come close to the level of facial detail that Crysis achieved.

Crysis was and still will be for a long time, the bar for high-end graphics and it's set way to high for the PS3. If they went in and started hacking away at the code and scaling everything down, I don't doubt that it could render a scene that "looked" like Crysis, but as far as the whole package is concerned, not going to happen.

Yeah, no HDCP output over component cables, my PS3 makes a great upscaler with an HDMI cable, although I'm better off not using it since it runs so hot compared to my normal DVD upscaler.

I like the looks of it, fairly crisp looking compared to most console games, no washed out textures or excessive bump mapping to cover up crappy textures which I see as a major flaw in just about any console game. Hope it turns out to play well, seems like an interesting premise.
