"These days, Sony’s black behemoth is packing some serious contenders in the third-party space. Years of arduous tinkering with the hardware has resulted in some impressive titles, and more importantly, ones that are actually superior – no matter how subtle – to their Xbox 360 counterpart. It’s a highly contentious topic we know, but the folks at PSU.com decided to brave the subject and list five titles on PS3 we feel have the edge over their 360 counterparts."
360= 1st person games and driving games. due to the triggers actually resembling gun triggers and the precise movement you get from the stiffer sticks.
but really i dont pay for live...so the games i get for the 360 are just exclusives i like and single player games that are better on it with no multiplayer. ie elder scrolls, fallout and what not
idk man, the only driving games i like are midnight club la and burnout paradise..not even sure if they support a wheel. even if they did im not spending extra money on that ish
Many 360 gamers actually map the shooting button to the bumper instead of the trigger because it's quicker and requires less effort and travel time than the trigger.
However, not many will admit to this :P
Either way, I just flat out prefer the Dualshock. It doesn't make my hands sweat like the xbox controller, I like the symmetrical placement of the analogs, and people who complain that, "oh it's too small for my hands, I have huge hands", That's just crap. My hands are generally larger than the average adults and the Dualshock still fits me fine.
People can prefer what they prefer because when it comes down to it, they're all just opinions, and opinions should only matter to their respective owners.
if you are a core gamer PS3 has the 3rd party games along with AAA titles that are only available on ps3.
starting with
Heavenly sword
MGS4
Rather and clank series
uncharted
infamous
killzone 2
resistance fall of man
last of us
dust 514
GOW
just to name a few
as a gamer i am not loyal to any side i want games and best value for my money for first 3-4 years MS delivered a lot but over the last 3 years they have totally forgotten about us and their target is the wii crowd of casual gamers
Also, wasn't there some grass meme going on about grass in LA Noire?
May as well put Batman Arkham Asylum for the Joker levels.
1. Sony helped R* with the production of the game.
2. R* owes sony an exclusive.
3. They had to cut out 2 whole desks (burglary and fraud) just so the 360 could handle it as they couldn't fit more than 4 discs in a case.
But at the same time even if it was a smooth development they still couldn't add those desks to the game because of 360 limitations, and they weren't ever planned as dlc, so they were just scrapped because of that reason.
You can actually see in some of the later cases that Cole knows detectives he had never met before which is obvious that they were part of those two desks.
How so? What does R* owe sony and why?
and please give me a break, they can easily fit 4 disks into a case.
and as others said, R* doesn't owe sony anything.. R* goes where the money is, and because of that way more people can enjoy their games :-)
Bioshock's later release on PS3 was definitely superior.
And LA NOIRE had a much superior version on PS3. (It's the reason I actually bought mine)
They really should have had Mass Effect 2 on that list. The PS3 version of ME2 was light/day compared to ME2 on 360. (same can't be said for ME3 tho)
The biggest problem with ME2 was that the ps3 version had nearly everyone suffering audio being out of sync for sfx during cutscenes and it really took you out of the moment and the framerate being awful when fighting 5+ enemies.
EA basically just wanted to cash in and pissed me and many others off a LOT.
So, yeah the reasoning is obvious. But so are the differences. IMO ME2 on PS3 was like an entirely new game.

Also even DICE said the ps3 was the elite console version. Sure it doesn't look great like the PC version but it still looks allot better that the 360 version.
Its just like how COD is allot better on 360
A disagree. WOW that person is just ignorant
Besides, I think everyone knows that the few, and rather slight, graphical improvements the ps3 version had over the 360 version literally needs a side by side comparison to even tell any sort of difference.
No wonder you got disagrees. Next time go with digital foundry.
The same can be said for the multiplats that look better on 360. Most require a side by side comparison to tell the difference. The truth is, there are very few multiplats that look substantially better on either platform. Parity is the name of the game. Exclusives... well we all know that's a different story, whether we want to admit it or not. PS3 wins... not by a world shattering margin but PS3 does win. PS3 exclusives have more of a visual advantage over 360 exclusives than 360 multiplats have over PS3 multiplats. End of story. I'm an American and I approve this statement. Carry on.
Yeah, yeah.
We are talking about BF3 here, believe it or not. Let's not go on a mini rant just because of someone's console favoritism.
Street Fighter x Tekken
most of "the kids" are on xbl though ^^. Thank god xbl has cross chat, else games would be unplayable due to all the immature kiddies.
Anyway, this is probably in response to that whole "multiplats are always better on 360" defense that MS lovers like to use.
Now I'm going to say something now that may be hard to swallow but claiming bias against a group but also having bias yourself for another isn't inciteful but hypocritical.
You repsonded to my post because I offended you by posting something that mocked the article and not even Sony.
Now Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo have their pros and cons and each are good in their own right and you should enjoy the console that you like the best or you could grow up and enjoy all of them.
Either way there is no need for me to defend Microsoft as they are a billion dollor corperation and I'm a college student so what I say isn't much defense for the top software company.
Hicken always gets all horned up from anything Sony. It's amusing to me and sad at the same time.
One of the earlier titles that was better on the PS3 was Burnout and that was largely due to Criterion taking the time to understand the PS3. They knew the drawbacks like the bluray read speeds but found a way around it. That's the key to creating games on the PS3 is learning the hardware and how to get the most of it. Problem is a lot of developers don't have the resources to go that extra mile and the PS3 needed extra attention.
This isn't like the original XBOX that was more powerful than the PS2 and didn't cost the consumer more money or provide hurdles for developers. It was a much easier platform than the PS2 but the PS2 dominated the charts. That's why most developers used the PS2 as the lead platform. This didn't happen on the PS3 because the PS3 didn't dominate. So there wasn't the same incentive to work harder.
Both systems have become a wash anyways as far as what each is capable of. There was actually more of a gap with the original XBOX compared to the PS2 but for some odd reason the fanboys this generation seem to want to exemplify the smaller differnces to the extreme. That's likely due to how competitive the two systems are to each other. I find it rather immature, and idiotic quite frankly, but i guess they have nothing better to do than argue about such petty things.
Why people can't just enjoy the games and stop worrying about the company behind the platform is beyond me. There's so much content out there and so many platforms now to play them on that there really is no need in dramatizing the negative stuff all the time.
There aren't even 100 games worth playing this gen anyways. Enjoy the extra pixel in 90 games that nobody bought?
BioShock ported 2 years later to PS3... Not shocking it would be better...
Mortal Kombat... Yep Kratos is good...
Brink... Yep
Portal 2... After the Orange Box fiasco payback is nice...
LA Noire... Yep...
It would be interesting to see the 360 better games... Look someone has...

IM sorry but you are dead wrong on that one.
Edit : Yes. I'm ignoring PC gaming. I have a brand new system, and PC gaming still isn't a factor in my world. It's just my opinion. Try and get past that. Carry on again.

I was about to write the same, Lol! U got ahead.
It'd be unfair to the 50 other sites that will be submitting their own lists in the coming days.
If fifty '100 games that are better on PS3 than Xbox360' lists suddenly started popping up people would read one then skip the rest. But if fifty '5 games that are better on PS3 than Xbox360' lists start popping up people would be more willing to give hits to more useless websites.

Saying "superior" would be more like the 360 version of Skyrim being superior to the ps3 version. The difference in these 2 versions are huge. BF3 is pretty much the same.
158 GAMES being better on 360 versus 41 on PS3?
Because those are the official Digital Foundry numbers. Here's a site that tracks, D-F, IGN and Lens of Truth comparisons:
http://misterslimm.wordpres...
Nobody sane buys multiplats on the PS3.
Mortal Kombat on the ps3 is a no brainer. Kratos in the MK world is a perfect match. Street Fighter vs. Tekken is another that I purchased for my ps3. But that's pretty much it. Everything else goes to my 360.
I can list 54 game that are better on 360
http://www.lensoftruth.com/...
Mortal Kombat only because of Kratos? Ok, have that petty win.
Brink? What the heck is that game? I don't remember it lighting up the review charts, or being a GOTY contender.
Portal 2? Yep.. that one was better on PS3, no doubts there.
LA Noire? Because of disk swaps? Ha.. I rather have those than a mandatory install any day.
Cheesy list, but even funnier that it's only 5 games.
When people bring up on this site the fact that the 360 tends to get the better looking/performing 3rd party titles, all they get is disagrees and trash talk.
Someone makes an article talking about five titles that went against that fact, and were actually better on the ps3, everyone rejoices.
The rest are kind of eye of the beholder in my opinion. There aren't a ton of games that you could say are better on either the PS3 or Xbox 360, the only few that I can really think of is Skyrim, which plays better on the Xbox 360, same with Black Ops, Bayonetta and The Orange Box.
If you dont read neogaf, n4d, etc msot people wouldnt be able to tell the difference or care.
forget bettter, we gamed on previous gen consoles with no ability to patch and still we didn't complain and played happily waiting for the sequel.
Better should be really by really large gap in quality (beyonetta) or features.
Features I would say burnout paradise and unreal tournament 3.
Burnout had an ability to upload your game save to their website for map updates. UT3 had pc mod support.
I prefer features over pixel counting.
The hd comparisons from the xbox camp always made me laugh seeing as how the original 360 didn't even have and hdmi out port.
Another fanboy dummy.
http://www.lensoftruth.com/...
to be honest im surprised that they even managed to get a list of 5. seriously, there are not many games at all that are better on the PS3, thats just the truth. the list for the opposite, however, is extensive.
@Raoh: "The hd comparisons from the xbox camp always made me laugh seeing as how the original 360 didn't even have and hdmi out port."
you dont need HDMI to do HD lol. from day 1 I was playing my 360 in 720p via component on my Bravia. i could also play it in 720p via VGA on my PC monitor. then when the 1080p update came out BEFORE the PS3 released, i could play it in 1080p via component or VGA. so please, tell me what part of 720p/1080p isnt HD?
Since you continue to PM me then block.
1. Bioshock 1 & 2
2. FEAR ( Ps3 version SUCKED )
3. MW
4. The Darkness
5. Half Life box set
6. Borderlands
7. Dead Space 1 & 2
8. Condemned 2
9. Arkham Asylum
10. Kane & Lynch Dog Days
And a few others but in the end it comes down to system preference, what type of television, the settings you have dialed in and cables you use.
Better textures
More vibrant colors
Nearly twice the draw distance
and far less texture pop-ins or random "loading" pauses
The GOTY versions evened things out though.
Would be more than fair.
Wait, then there would be a million disagrees!
Come on guys of N4G, do u really need to be THAT biased by selecting shitty
articles with PRO-Arguments for the PS3?
Seriously, u can pinpoint PS3-Fanboys on this site by looking at the disagrees of EACH PS3-360 Article. The more Disagrees, the more the comment is pro 360. Simple as that.
With that kind of articles, Fanboy-Wars will continue til worlds end.
