my opinion of the PS3

Trying to convince fanboys that your system is better is like trying to convince a politician that porking that hooker in Vegas is going to hurt his career: you can keep the pig out of office, but you can't make the pig keep his pig in the barn.

My friends at school still take the PS3 over the Wii. Cause they still think the wii is "kiddy", i just laugh and point at them..but anyways yeah the PS3 isn't all that great right now, but like many of us we'll have to buy it eventually. But then again many game makers may change their mind and put there games on the wii...who knows, we'll just have to wait and see.


I believe many companies are already creating games for the Wii. Rockstar only ever mingled with Nintendo once when they felt like making a portable game and the only portable console at the time was the GBA, but they went straight back to Sony with the launch of the PSP. Since then, they have NEVER made a Rockstar game on the GCN, however Manhunt 2 has been confirmed for the Wii. Ubisoft is focussing more on individual games for the Wii now instead of porting games such as Splinter Cell on the GCN with worse graphics and gameplay of that on the PS2 and Xbox. Many companies can see success in Wii, it's written in red and they are not missing out on this opportunity. There is a lot of money to be made as the Wii has nearly reached 5 million sales in under 3 months whereas it took the Xbox 360 to sell 10 million in over a year.
 
I think they need to reinvent their controller. It was terrific for the PS1, then still pretty good for the PS2, now the PS3 basically has the same design, it seems they are just too lazy. maybe change the grips or whatever your hands go around maybe. The only noticable changes they did make were the sixaxis and the L2 and R2 buttons push like triggers. :9

secondly, i think the playstation is very boring. Theres some good games, but basicly they are for the "gangsters" and such new hip people who play "cool" games. I find those types of games rather repetitive and boring with a simple objective: to wow the gamer with astounding graphics, with little gameplay.



Gangsters is takeing it a little too far dont you think? There are only a couple gang game only made off of GTA's success.

and...NO GAMEPLAY! You have games like Mario (not a bad game) and your complaining about no gameplay.......Take GTA so much gameplay in it also Mercenarys where its open ended and then you have yet another Straight Forward Mario game where there is no point in going back to a level when you have beaten it. Since all there is to do is get the stars (or whatever item they put in for collectables) where in GTA you can collect packages to give you weapons, get in a huge car chase, helicopter fights, gamble your money away in a casino, customizable character (i know you cant in mario) and much much more that is only skimming the top of it. These games open up freedom to do what you want. Zelda is skimming the top of open ended gaming. Where games like Mercs, GTA, Oblivion, and others let you do everything you could ever want in a game...

my i refrase gangsters to "noobs who know nothing and thing they are hard" kind of people (hard as in bad@$$) and look, its my opinion, i find the games rather boring. multiplayer sucks on playstatin i think
 
multi player on PS3 sucks? Have you played resistance I cant beat the single player because every time I turn it on I am tempted to put on Online and play the best game of CTF with headsets and squads and real stratagy with up to 40 players in the game unlike Wii which has some good multiplayer but it is only LAN. Not even LAN just LA.

you gotta buy the headsets, dont you?
real strategy? resistance? LOL NO :ciappa:
resistance is run n gun
 
PS3 is a great system, the only bad things about it is the price. The games will eventually will come out and the price will eventually go down as well...i'm sure most of us will get one sooner or later.

Have you played ctf? It is real strategy. I played against one team that knew what they were doing. They got all 5 captures in less than 15 minutes. I switched to their team next round and it was amazing how well they planned the games. Resistance is an awesome game. Its not just run and gun.

Yes you do need to buy a headset if you want to talk to other people online. I bought a ps2 headset for $18 and it works perfect. Or you can use a blue tooth one from your cell phone.


We've already established that you know nothing about what "facts" are.

Next time you give an opinion, try not to refer to "facts" that you've not actually given. And by facts, I mean a statement that is undeniably true, and that doesn't rely on any assumptions (say for example, that the PS3 sells because of it's Blu-ray: the assumption. Not everybody has a phone to play mp3 files on. Likewise, not everybody who bought a PS2, brought it for the DVD player).

Right and you do? Lets see some facts. Blu ray titles are outselling hd dvd by more than 3 to 1. There are alot more blu ray playes on the market than hd dvd. There are more movie studios backing blu ray. If those arent facts, then I guess I should buy a diction and look up the definition.

There's no comparison, I mean how could you compare swinging a sword with the wii remote like a real life event compared to pressing " X " constantly.

Now I know a lot of you are going to say previous consoles have always been like that, but Nintendo made a change whereas PS3 didn't. This is why it amuses me when a shop sign for the PS3 says " A whole new way to play "

I agree. Flailing your arms in the air everytime you want your character to do something is stupid. It gets old after a while. It workes great for games like wii sports, but its gonna hurt gameplay on almost everything else.

I think they need to reinvent their controller. It was terrific for the PS1, then still pretty good for the PS2, now the PS3 basically has the same design, it seems they are just too lazy. maybe change the grips or whatever your hands go around maybe.

Why fix what isnt broken? The ps3 remote is comfortable and it does its job very well. Being wireless with rechargable batteries is awesome. I also love the motion sensing better than the wii.

I actually disagree. You don't have to flail your arm everytime you do something. Like in Zelda you don't flail your arm so much that it gets annoying. Maybe a little flicker will do. Every game i've seen come out for the wii is good. I know many of you just want to sit on your couch or lay down and just button-mash. But hey, Wii brought us something different, we can make a button-mashing system anytime. I'm not hating on PS2, PS3, or the Xbox, it's just good to have something different. That's why the Xbox and PS3 on the "next-gen" and the Wii is the "New-gen". i Would take the new anytime =D.

Proof that blu ray titles are outselling please? also it should be dictionary, diction is your choice of words.
Also after simply googling 'blu ray vs hd dvd' most sites don't actually offer any definitive answer , however one site (and I quote) said "But all aspects considered -- reliability of hardware, video and audio quality of the discs released thus far, overall value for money -- I have to give HD DVD props for defying almost all predictions and trumping Blu-ray right at the starting line. For all of the Blu-ray camp's boasting of superior storage capability, increased interactivity and more across-the-board industry support, it just hasn't amounted to an appreciably better real-world product. In fact, Blu-ray has thus far underperformed. " [source http://www.highdefdigest.com/feature_blu-ray_vs_hd_dvd_round_one.html]

See where you say it is stupid, it is kind of obvious that you are being a tad childish, also, saying something like "it works great for games like wii sports" doesn't really narrow it down, so what I think you're trying to say, is that wii games work great with wii controls ??? yeah I think so to. However can you flail a ps3 controller? Would it even be nearly as fun? Also, you said that it would hurt gameplay, however it quite clearly improves gameplay as you become more involved in the game and enjoy it more, also it isn't so much flailing, as the wiimote is actually precise (and superior motion sensing to the ps3 controller, and the wiimotes exact location is pinpointed whereas only movements are sensed in the ps3 controller)

Why fix what isn't broken? Fix isn't the word, more like improve, why not improve it? Also how can you love the motion sensing better than the wii? Thats akin to saying "yeah I like video tapes more than dvds" , when one is clearly superior in all aspects.

My opinion overall on the playstation 3, is that sony could have been great, they could have remained king of the console wars, yet they make some key mistakes: overpricing, features no one wants, arrogant sales reps (we've all read the quotations, GIANT CRAB BATTLE) imperfect backwards compatability [there really is no excuse, as the ps2 sold the most, and people still want to play those games]

Looks like you have to learn how to use google a little better... J/K

On a serious note, the data came from Nielsen VideoScan, and according to the research firm, Blu-ray is outselling HD-DVDs, and I believe the January sales data do suggest somewhere upwards of nearly 3:1, or for every 3 Blu-ray movies sold, one HD-DVD movie was sold. However, I was not aware of the sales ever being over 3:1. As far as the overall to-date sales data goes, I think Blu-ray have only recently taken over HD-DVD and HD-DVD is not too far behind, but the gap is quickly widening thanks to the much needed boost from the PS3. The European launch of the PS3 in March will provide another boost to Blu-ray, which should propel it to the top.

so it looks like sony is trying to get on top before others having a chance, like the 360 (all the strategy with the 360 was awesome because it forced sony and nintendo to rush like hell)
p.s. it looks like the second and third link are broken whilst the first says they are only outselling hd 2:1

This makes no sense :wtf: . Isnt every control wireless now? And why do you like the controller better the wiimote. It's about the same as the PS2 and PS1. And Sony barely even worked on the motion sensing :frown2:. You got mii lost here. I want to see you try making up more things about how the PS3 is better then the wii. I can probably name a million of why the wii is better.

Oops... here are the links.

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3156920

The actual sales figure for Blu-ray VS. HD-DVD is like 2.7 to 1 or something, some pro-PS3 or pro-Blu-ray sites rounded it up to 3:1, while others rounded it down to 2:1.
