How can they say October is the month of the PS#.
They listed 8 games and only 3 are exclusive.
Bioshock and eternal sonata are already played out.
Why do idiots get to post these stories??
Sep 24, 2008 at 16:49:40
Ok, for all you ps3 dick suckers. socom is a fucking failure. i loved my socom 1, 2, and 3. online on ps2. i played the socom beta. and that game is trash. I’m not sure it was made by the same team or not. but even the graphics aren’t on par. ur line up is gay. u got our bioshock (a year later congrats!!). Motor storm = failure. LBP is a little boys game. and the rest are multiplatform. resistance isn’t even close to being on gears of wars level. gameplay or graphic wise. i own a ps3 and a 360. ps3 let me down. this was supposed to be the system of the future. and all u ever hear about the ps3 is about whats SUPPOSED to come out. and delay after delay. sooo… anybody want to buy a ps3 for what its worth??. a dollar.
Sep 24, 2008 at 17:18:09
HaHaHaHa sure whatever Hellrazor you go play ur x-box im sure you wont be missed.. i love how all those games are gunna fail just cuz you say so.. but hey everyone is entitled to their opinions i guess! Socom will sell just under 2 mill in the first week maybe more cuz of all the hardcore fans.. Motorstorm a failure? plz explain and while ur at it name one x-box racer that can compete with the physics and graphics of motorstorm?? LBP will sell more then any game this month and will probable be GOTY so think what you want…. Resistance not on gears level??? ur right its way about on a level of its own douche at least gears doesnt have a stupid fog of war that only lets you see 10 feet… RFOM 2 also has tons more enemies on screen that are actually doing something not just runing in the back round… oh and you can keep that cover, shoot, cover, shoot, cover, shoot gameplay for all i care that was boring as hell in gears 1 oh and have fun playin 5 on 5 snore fest that 2 player coop! i can do that offline haha poor xbots
Sep 24, 2008 at 17:59:19
Hey MR.HELLRAZOR ill take ur ps3 for a dollar
Sep 24, 2008 at 18:00:21
System selling PS3 games? Well where are they? Definitely nothing listed above.
Sep 24, 2008 at 18:08:56
why do shitbox fan always in denial, they just want to say stuff about ps3 just to make them feel better, let them, they won’t have to worry about turning on their furnace this year because their shitbox provides them heat already, mean while we’ll be playing all of the top games of the year. they know but they denial, let them, shitbox fanboy, RROD, two games to play this year, wow, nice
Sep 24, 2008 at 18:46:58
lol. Nowhere else do you even begin to see this kind of brand loyalty. Though, I suppose if you spend a couple hundred on something, you’re going to defend it regardless of how good or crappy it is; because you’re not defending the system - you’re defending your investment.
So, the 360 is a bug-addled, hardware-issue, overpriced (even at $300) piece of M$ crap with an impressive array of software titles. That’s the M$ business plan to a T.
And the PS3 is a violently expensive behemoth of a system, which delivers top-quality future-proofed hardware with a very poor selection (yes, it’s improving) of good games and more delays than a Heathrow flight.
The Wii? A moron-box for folks with no money, attention span, or a severe deficit of years. I’m surprised Nintendo is even relevant anymore; I always expected a Disney takeover. But sales are through the roof and they can’t build ‘em fast enough, further evidence that no-one ever went broke under-estimating the intelligence of the general public.
And everyone defends violently against those who dare to insinuate they’ve wasted their money. Because that’s what we’re ultimately arguing about when we go into ‘fanboy’ or ‘fangirl’ mode: “I made a better investment than you did.”
Wonder if it’s like that on Wall Street right now?
Sep 24, 2008 at 19:07:46
wow, there no title that is coming out on ps3, that cant be matched by 360. I own both. most of you cupcakes only own ps3, and thats why ur getting your feelings hurt. if you don’t have both systems i don’t really want to hear you talk.
Sep 24, 2008 at 19:34:58
Please and you call this a system seller? Bottom line upfront sony sucks blu gay and any game that comes with it. 5 titles that only hardcore gamers will buy to be part of the blugay family, with only one exception LBP the rest are good enough to wipe your ass with it, although blugay individuls may like it.
Sep 24, 2008 at 19:37:19
Your retarded. BioShock and Eternal Sonata are already on the Xbox 360, therefore no one is going to buy a PS3 for them. Also, Fallout 3 has exclusive downloadable content for the Xbox 360 that the PS3 will never get, therefore that is a 360 system seller not a PS3 one idiot. Also, no one will buy a system for SOCOM: Confrontation. Have you even played the beta, its such a joke. Also, no one will buy a PS3 for a sports game idiot. Everyone only buys EA Sports games, and NBA 09: The Inside isn’t one.
Sep 24, 2008 at 19:41:28
wow. where were you guys when i was getting out yelled by ps3 dicksuckers lol
Sep 24, 2008 at 19:57:20
u gaystation fools we could play pirated games on xbox 360 for 2 or 3 dollars .
u suckaz have to pay a freakin 40 to 50 $ on those piece of blueass shit .dude 40 gigs of bd rom that’s 40 dicks for each gaystation owner .
Sep 24, 2008 at 20:12:26
LBP GOTY and a revolution deny it all you want you can’t stop it x-bots the dawn is here Gaming 2.0 and it;s only on P S 3!
Sep 24, 2008 at 20:22:21
honestly it seems like ppl think LBP is gonna be good because sony said so….i don’t think so. ppl who don’t spend most of their life reading gaming news will almost certainly see the rag doll wonder now why in the world would i want to play a 60 dollar side scroller on my ps3 that can run games like mgs4
360 shouldn’t even be involved in this you either own both and like both or you are fan boy simple as that
Sep 24, 2008 at 20:30:40
Wow. You guys are a bunch of winy ass bitches. Stop fuckin hating everything you don’t understand. The PS3 might be too complicated for you guys but its OK, your not dumb, your just special. The fact is that the 360 has less notable exclusives this holiday season, you don’t need to defend it. Pick them up and play them, have a good time damn it. But stop being little fanboys spouting off about this and that. why don’t you spend all that time being gamers or better yet bettering your selfs, cause from what I’m reading here you guys need some major personality improvements.
Sep 24, 2008 at 20:54:14
I call bull on this story. A little easy check at http://www.tothegame.com shows that for 2008 there will be 45 games released for the ps3. In contrast there will be 104 games released for the Xbox360. That is MORE than twice the amount for the Xbox360! Just select the systems one at a time, select upcoming press apply, sort by USA and count all 2008!
Sep 24, 2008 at 21:04:20
Mr.Hellrazor
wow. where were you guys when i was getting out yelled by ps3 dicksuckers lol OPS our bad! Yeah only three of the top 8 games are exclusive. And one sucks, a LOT! Only ONE of the three have NOT proved to be a mediocre yet. Microsoft also has more inclusives. And three times the RPG’s (WHAT?!? LOL) Not to mention the only system with a SQUARE Enix EXCLUSIVE is on the 360 ! With the only other USA RPG from square that is a exclusive also coming to the 360 (not before the end of the year). The two games are Infinite Undiscovery and Start OCEAN, yeah that STAR OCEAN!
Sep 24, 2008 at 21:11:11
Your talking about 360 owners? Look at your post! You spend 100% of it complaining, and insulting. Who needs attention again? Look at my post it is full of independent facts! Look at the independent ratings of games for the systems! Especially multiplatform games! And while your at it go ahead and compare the exclusives too to each other! For the rest of 2008 there will be 45 more ps3 games this year, compared to 104 xbox360 games this year!
Sep 24, 2008 at 21:28:46
And oh yeah your probably wondering about a few of the games that seems like they are Xbox360 exclusives. They are not. For example Last Remnant. It will be released on the 360 in November (also from Square Enix). But it has been announced for the PS3, but they have not figured out a release date yet.
More hand me downs for the PS3 from the Xbox360 but not a exclusive. (still hand me downs two years later!?!?) But if this story was honest it would mention that there are MORE than twice the games for the xbox360 than the ps3 and some may as well be exclusive by the time they are actually released for the ps3. Look at Eternal Sonata, or you kidding me it is STILL not out on ps3 it didn’t push on graphics thats for sure!!! And only two of the five or not VERY late!!!
Sep 24, 2008 at 22:53:10
Only LBP stands out on that list. Fallout 3, Eternal Sonata and Bioshock are multiplat and are already out for the Xbox 360. The Last Remnant is 2008 exclusive for the XBox 360. The PS3 version won’t be out until like Feb 2009. LOL!! Not sure what you guys are talking about in terms of number of games for 2008.The XBox 360 blows the PS3 away in number of releases in 2008. So does the Wii. Hands down the XBox 360 has more quality games out for it then the PS3 and Wii. It also has the biggest attach rate and the cheapest price of both the PS3 and Wii. Hands down, it will be the system of choice this X-Mas. At least in the U.S., where it’s loved. Seems Japan is starting to embrace it more as it has outsold the PS3 for the past 2 weeks in JAPAN. LOL!!
Sep 24, 2008 at 22:57:52
Everyone shut up - Dreamcast is where it’s at :o)
Sep 25, 2008 at 01:02:30
I’ll be picking up Dead Space, Bioshock, LittleBigPlanet, and possible Legendary.
Sep 25, 2008 at 03:27:54
Mr.Hellrazor: even your opinion can be bad, because someone likes other games, they like motorstorm and LPB. And those games aren´t bad, only because you don´t like it.
Sep 25, 2008 at 05:13:04
Man I get tired of reading news clips like this, then scrolling down to see a huge flame war erupt between 13 year old kids who love their particular system like it was their pet or something. Xbox Live is a main reason I stayed away from the 360; I don’t really enjoy having little kids screaming in my ear that I’m a fag, or I suck dick, etc. From my experience, PS3 online has had more mature players than 360, something that appealed to me. I’d rank 360 owners as more immature than Wii owners, and that is saying something.
The 360 is a fine system, and has a wide selection of games. Fortunately for me, I never liked Halo or Gears of War, not a fan of RPGs most of the time. Most of the games I enjoy are multiplatform.
I don’t understand why all the hate with BluRay… my guess is you spent the 100 bucks or whatever for the HD DVD attachment only to watch it turn into a 100 dollar paperweight. I could understand some anger there.
That being said, LBP and Resistance 2 are going to be more than enough to keep me entertained until at least Spring 09.
Sep 25, 2008 at 05:25:55
Stop hating,
(@ raz, thats an unbelievably true statement that never came across my mind, its the investment not the console)
I owned both, had the best of 360 and am looking forward to the best of ps3 even though i think the games for it out right now are the best ive ever played anyway (for me its mgs4, tekken and warhawk) and can honestly say the ps3 is BETTER and for that idiot ^^ that said blu-gay is an example of a true fanboy defending what he paid for.
I dont like the fact that im seeing alot of ps3 fanboys now a days though..
Sep 25, 2008 at 05:27:43
There is no game on any other console that is ow will be better then
mgs4. Period
Sep 25, 2008 at 05:29:36
very true celticmoose,
Good to see mature gamers like you.
Sep 25, 2008 at 06:57:31
Boy oh boy,where do i begin? OK, 1st these ppl shouting about Gears of War is top a teir shooter, ok your game is so inovative because they added color and chainsaw battles (wow, so creative), your right resistance is not on its level, its higher, if you want ellaboration ok let see, 5v5 vs 30v30(multiplayer), 4plyer co-op vs 8 plyer co-op (capaign) Yea i see why gears is greater, it must be the graphics, and dont say because of gameplay, because i recall another game that came out awhile ago they had that same type of gameplay(killswitch, look it up). 2nd how all these ps3 ppl even care about getting Bioshock(lets be serious nobodys buying it for the ps3). Motorstorm = Fail, Cause it doesnt play like PGR, but PGR sux compared to Gran Turismo but back on subject, Obviously someone must not know socom as well as they think they do if you think that wont sell(be honest if you’ve played socom, honestly ppl play that game like its a religon). LBP(its gonna sell), now no i dont own xbox, but my friends have one and yes the xbox live commuinty is better than ps3 but as someone else said its improving. Now to get to the point of why i posted, I love games, i dont argue over what system is better. If i has a good game ok maybe ill spend the money to get the system. the only reason i own a ps3 is because the games which i like have better gameplay IN MY EYES(again MY EYES, opinion). ps3 has a veriety of game to choose from to me, when i want to play shoooters and rpgs all day then ill buy an xbox, till then i still dont trust a system that doesnt last for 15 days(once again opinion)
Sep 25, 2008 at 16:45:33
ok, im back. for the guy who says xbox 360 gamers are immature. i’ve been on the playstation network. and listened to little kids talk about non sense also. if your weren’t a ps3 dicksucker. then you wouldn’t be talking so much. PSN sucks. sometimes when i want to join a match, it says the server is full. if PSN charged then it would be a rip off. the service needs to be free. and with all of you guys bitching about psn being free. then u guys also like to get free internet connections. because everytime i try to play call of duty. people are always lacking up a storm. with their mexican connections. IF YOU DON’T HAVE BOTH SYSTEMS YOUR OPINION REALLY DOESN’T MATTER.
…. thankyou. and goodnight ps3 dicksuckers
Sep 25, 2008 at 16:46:40
ps good luck with resistance 30 v 30? lagfest.
Sep 25, 2008 at 22:46:45
Yea, ill enjoy my 30v30 lagfest, when gears can only do 5v5 and still lag. Man this guy halirious, talking about, “sometimes when i want to join a match, it says the server is full”. OK , so because you cant get into a sever with your vonage connection, PS3 sux. Whycant you just go to another one. Did you even think of that before saying, “OH i cant get into this server, this consoles sux ass”. Liike all your games are i lag free free. Ive seen plenty of games on the xbox that when you get into the server its boots your ass right back out before you can do anything and then make you try again to get simply to say…you guessed it “Server Full”. Your goona get that from both systems buddy dont ask so surprised when you see it from another console other the your 300$ paperwieght. If your going to come at a console, all i ask is that you point the major flaws next time. Thx.
Sep 25, 2008 at 23:03:44
Hey Hububla
Just because SOCOM will sell 2 million doesnt meant its a good game.
If there are no exclusives and one gets released, of course it will sell.
Sep 26, 2008 at 03:26:55
wow jac knife. i pointed way more points. and i have one of the best connections. im pretty sure ur the one with the mexican connection. 30 v 30? thats not even fun. thats like a battlefield game. there is no point in even getting serious in it. and as soon as resistance comes out , im positive half of the ppl who bought it wont be able to play until the next week. and with it being 30 v 30 ur waaaay more likely for it too lag like shit. ur just a die hard ps3 dicksucker. Gears of war = skill. people play serious over gears of war. nobody cares about resistance. once again its like a fuckin battlefield game . and i have thought before i said i can’t get into the server. especially on saturdays call of duty is a hot ass mess. this never happens on the 360. i’ve never been out becasue there were too many ppl playing on the xbox live. psn has a cap on how many people can play on the network at once. thats why it should be free.
Sep 26, 2008 at 03:32:58
and what the fuck about killswitch? u think resistance is innovative. can u spell halo 3.with their bbubble shield like items and after i reread that just now. im done talking to you. read a book.
Sep 26, 2008 at 07:42:35
wow gears takes skill? HA! Hide behind a wall wait till someone come close and pop out and shoot, if that doesnt work chainsaw, yea thats skill, and dont get me wrong i love campiagn in gears but muiltiplayer (fail). Did you hear me say resistance is so great as the most revolutionary shooters, No. Bubble shield like items, ok so one item thats new from halo 3. Thats crap, personally i think halo 2 is better. Yea i read boos and ppl talk. Get your facts right, maybe you should take your own advice and pick up a book, u might learn something.
Sep 26, 2008 at 19:54:57
wow. people actually play gears of war as a competition game. my facts are right.. c’mon man you lost this one. pick up what ever dignity you have left and take a walk.
Sep 27, 2008 at 05:42:59
I know ppl play gears in tornaments. im pointing out 8 yr olds can play gears, halo, resistance, COD etc, on pro lvl. im just saying its not skill, it just learning the game
