From a pure hardware standpoint, Dallas Morning News thinks the PS3 is now a better deal than the Xbox 360 Premium.
The larger hard drive, the built-in wireless adapter and the Blu-ray movie player are simply a phenomenal deal for a mere 50 bucks extra.
While Sony made a marketing mistake by hyping backwards compatibility when the PS3 first launched, only to kill the feature with the new unit, they suspect most gamers who buy a new console aren't actually using it to play old PS2 games. So they doubt the feature will be missed much.
But if you're deliberating whether to get a 360 or a PS3, the decision isn't that clear cut.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
Not every Halo game has been a banger, but the franchise still has a raft of the greatest games of all time.
Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.
Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
news. Give it a rest.
BTW; "I suspect most gamers who buy a new console aren't actually using it to play old PS2 games."
Then what are they playing? Cause it sure ain't that many PS3 titles to play.
Well the Ps3 is better deal
Sony lose like $300 now
Where as MS lose $0-50
yea yea yea i only own a PS3 at this point in time. I do give the edge to the 360 as far as the games they have the last 3-4months this year. I think the PS3 has had more exclusives the last 4 months of 07 but i do think the 360 has some really good ones and maybe even slighty better. Warhawk with more maps cant be topped.
Bio Shock Mass Effect GPR4 Forza2 and Halo are some really good games. Im lookin 4ward to a Elite price drop and ofcourse the RROD fix that they have started to implament. When i do get my Elite in 4-5 months i will have atleast 3great games im going to buy with it, ME GOW Bio Shock. I think by the time im ready to spend 400+ bucks on the 360 it will have all the goodies (faloconzepher) and be under 400bucks!
Once again Sony proves they are good for gamers. They made MS make those 360 fixs and even made em add HDMI. If your a 360fanboy you cant argue that Sony has made your 360 a better machine just by its release!
good for us gamers
All the features they say are a reason to buy a PS3 aren't even related to gaming.
Bluray functionality = Hi-def movies = Not gaming
WiFi = A way to allow internet access = Not gaming
Hard Drive = Storage = Not gaming
But the article goes on to say if you want game of the year contenders like Bioshock and Mass Effect...Then get a 360 = Gaming..
"Unless you plan to just use your PS3 as a Blu-ray movie player – and honestly, stand-alone Blu-ray players won't be much cheaper this year – the availability of good, new games is just as important as the price of the hardware.
On that front, the Xbox 360 still has the advantage, at least until 2008.
Halo 3, of course, is the main draw, but game of the year contenders like BioShock and Mass Effect are also Xbox exclusives, and older masterpieces such as Dead Rising and Lost Planet also have yet to show up on the PS3.
Plus, Xbox Live remains a much better online experience than Sony's service for the PS3."
#1 this is news u silly bastard! It is from a news source and not some fanboy blog!
#2 Your memory is selective i see. Go look at news post about your 360 when it launched! MS themselfs told you all they where losing 100-150 bucks a system. Sony said the same thing on launch. And the cold hard fact is Mr CLoud360 MS gaming division has lost 3.9BILLION since its luanch two years ago. Thats a FACT. Now go do some math and see what that is per system sold.
