[QUOTE="killfooler"][QUOTE="sheepdogg23"]If Rainbow Six and Elder Scrolls (which both got above a 9 for the 360) both don't get 9's for good factual reasons, I'm gonnna be a little suspicious.Sgt_Hale

You shouldn't be... like I said, they've been out for some time. Unless PS3 does something to bring something new to the titles, scoring a year old game the same would be a little silly since the bar has moved up since.

It doesn't matter if the game has been out for a while. Especially in Oblivion's case... it runs better than either of the two original releases and includes content that neither of those releases included. So if the two originals deserved a 9, this one deserves one as well.... not everyone with a PS3 has played the other two versions so it should be judged on its own merit.

Furthermore, R:FOM and VF5 deserved 9's based on their own merit anyway and there are plenty of other review sites that agree. I'm not sure that MotorStorm deserved AAA, but it definitely deserved at least an 8.5. GS reviews are pretty suspect.

The point is, I highly doubt Tony Hawk (if it was RE-RELEASED for the PS3) ran at 1080p and loaded faster, would get a perfect 10 rating again. Time AND expections play a factor in the rating system.

I hope its not bad as 12.

psyum

cmon..12 wasnt bad....it wasnt the greatest..but it was great...anyone else thinks 12 was bad :(?

Bad's not the word... I'm still not finished with it, but it's getting a little boring maybe? I'm about half way through and don't really feel an attachment to any of the characters.

GS doesn't seem to ever blantely throw out a bad PS3 review, just always lower end. Which would be fine, if they rated all games tougher, but the majority of 360 games they rate higher than average. Since I always use metacritic, I compared the 3 highest rating titles on the 360

Gears: GS 9.6, Meta 9.4: Difference +.2
Oblivians: GS 96, Meta 9.4: +.2
GR:AW: GS 92, Meta 9.0: +.2

Now, there are exceptions (Crackdown), but for the most part, they rate X360 games HIGHER than the average. And we already know they rate Sony's games lower:

Motorstorm: GS 79, Meta 8.6: -.7
Resistance: GS 86, Meta 8.7: -.1
Virtua Figher: GS 81, Meta 87: -.6

For me, its not just one review that's out of place - they're all in the region of reason. It's just that over and over they rate 360 games high, and PS3 games low. I don't post this in a "fanboy" sort of way, just in a disappointment sort of way. I would love to be able to trust their reviews as I have in the past, but after the PD:Z debacle, and this continued trend, I tend to not only put metacritic's scores above GS, but just about any review above GS's.

Honestly, I think alot more is expected from Sony than they're able to pony up at the moment. I hate to say it, but I'm sure many of the reviews inadvertantly calculate the hyped potential of the PS3 into the scoring. NBA 07 is a disgrace. It should not even be associated with the platform. The hardware Sony boasts should be putting out better titles than Gundam and NBA07. Sony will do fine this gen I'm sure of it. They definitely need better quality control on the titles that are coming out though. At this stage, however, I don't think they can afford to delay titles any longer than they have and that's why we're getting "less than quality" games from them at the moment.

okay not gonna use online for gaming only downloads remember i wanna use th sixaxis motion system on the controlleranthonynaude
Geez, I don't know that any of those games use the sixaxis innovatively. In Resistance, you shake the controller to get aliens off of you, but that's about it. Sixaxis, as a technology, isn't really being used effectively right now. (Haven't played Flow yet)

should i get Resistance: Fall Of Man, F.E.A.R, Splinter Cell Doble Agent, Rainbow Six Vegas i can only getone of them which is the best but i would like games that use sixaxis

thanx

anthonynaude
Personally, I would say Vegas. Resistance gets hyped to high heaven, but I think Vegas is more fun in single player. The multiplayer is hit or miss depending on the style of gameplay you prefer.

FEAR was really creepy fun when I played it on PC.  If you've never played it, it wouldn't hurt to give it a go either.  Splinter Cell was a little disappointing IMO.

I doubt Oblivion will score highter than 8.9.  (defnitely not in the 9s) It's a year old game with no new innovations or game modes associated with the PS3 version.

From the lineup, I can't see any 9's coming any time soon, but that isn't necessarily GS's fault.  I doubt any multiplats will be rated AAA for PS3, because currently, they're running better on the 360.  Wait until more exclusives come out.
