Is Clive Barker's new game damned or is redemption still possible?

First off, I wanna say that this game looks mediocre on both consoles. Anyways, I'm planning on getting a 40gb PS3 this Friday... I'm getting a little nervous after reading some of the articles posted on N4G today!:

PES 2008 Review: Bad Framerate on PS3, Good on 360
VF5 Review: Bad Framerate on PS3 due too hardware issues, Great on 360
Jericho Video Review: "Framerate slows down to molasses, especially on PS3"- Gametrailer

So, I don't know, starting to second guess my decision. In all honesty, the only thing really keeping me on the PS3 trail is Blu-Ray. Gulp.

Well, as a recent PS3 purchaser, I'm 100% happy with my purchase. There are a ton of amazing exclusives coming to PS3, and the quality of the multi-platform games are significantly increasing, and in some cases improving upon Xbox equivalents. However, as you say, Xbox also has games that seem to run better on it. That is just way way of things in a multi-platform market -- sometimes one machine is better, somtimes the other is. However, this will become less of an issue as people grow used to programming for the PS3. Look at Uncharted to see what I mean, and Naughty Dog are convinced they will do /far/ better with future releases, which is quite frankly stunning.

The big pluses for me so far are lag-free online play, even with 40 players on Resistance: Fall of Man, all the multi-media options, the exclusives coming already, and coming very soon (including everything from Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted, and Singstar to Haze, Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy, and that doesn't even touch on other great games like Unreal Tournament 3 coming first to PS3 or the incoming rumours of Jak and Daxter), the silent running of the machine, the reliability, free online play, and much more.

But, in the end, it's your choice, go with the console that provides you with what you want. I have, and I'm extraordinarily happy. I have grown to really love my PS3, and I've only had it a few weeks!

:D

VF:5 had no framerate issues on the PS3, stop spreading FUD.

P4KY B6390d ago

Buy whichever console has the games you want to play right now!
If you like online play get the console that most of your friends have.

Don't let Blu-ray cloud your judgement, in 12 months Blu-ray players will be a fraction of the price they are now.

DARK WITNESS6389d ago

as someone else said above, go for the one that has the games you want to play, thats the best choice you can make.

I own both systems, i like my ps3, but i like my 360 more. There are great games on both systems, so it really depends on what you want to play or do.

to be honest i don't play much on my ps3, i have always loved the PS brand for tekken and thats the first game i got on it. Warhawk is awesome but there are lots of multiplayer games on the 360 that i think are just as good.

it just depends what you enjoy doing. for the cross platform stuff, it just makes more sense to buy them on the 360, they tend to be cheaper to buy and as pointed out so far there has not been huge differences between the two.

dude i have no doubt in my mind you will love the ps3 when you get it.. There are plenty of awesome games to play on it and tons of awesome blu ray movies to watch on it..

PES 2008. both versions have there issues.. Ps3 has this and the 360 has that..

VF5. I didnt like the game. But most reviewers say the game looks the same as the ps3 version.. No difference.. Only difference online..

Jericho. Why the hell would you waste your money on this crap when you have way better games to play?

Dude go spend your money on the goods, resistence, motorstorm, heavenly sword, warhawk, ratchet and clank, uncharted, COD4, haze, and UT3.. You have a lot of games to play..

smirx6389d ago

you know what, I guess it's pretty stupid of me to focus on bad framerates of games I'm not even interested in. All the games I want have no problems! I hope I'm still able to get a 40gb on friday, I have a feeling that model will sell out quick!

Top Steam Games Under Five Dollars: Our Recommendations

SteamFirst: How often do you log onto your Steam client and see in the top right corner your wallet balance with only a few dollars left. Oh how I hate having Steam cash just sitting there going to waste. There are always some excellent FTP titles available such as Team Fortress 2, Warframe and DOTA 2, but sometimes you want to branch out from free to play. This article is a list of my personal top 5 Steam titles that you can spend your last five bucks on.

I'm sorry, but that's quite a poor list. IMO.

Moncole4124d ago

Its called an opinion. Everyone would have a different list.

ThatEnglishDude4124d ago (Edited 4124d ago )

I've never understood why people feel the need to state that. No shit it's an opinion. Does saying this somehow make my opinion less relevant? No.

dsswoosh4124d ago

Almost everything on Steam is poor.

I wish more people would admit it something we all know deep down.

There are hundreds of meh games, mediocre at best, and virtually zero triple AAA games that make you go wow.

Steam sucks in all honesty.

If you disagree with me, you must link a decent new game on Steam.

If you disagree without linking, your gpu will overheat and die within the next 2 weeks.

LAWSON724124d ago (Edited 4124d ago )

OK Metal Gear Rising came out on Friday and not only is it good but from what I have played it is quite the solid port.
You are trolling but I want to mention this game because Platinum deserves some recognition on PC so more of there games come to the platform and I want MGS (that won't happen though)

webeblazing4124d ago

why do ps fanboys troll every article on this site.

Volkama4124d ago

I was excited to buy my new consoles, but 2 months in and the only thing I still "play" is XBox Fitness. When I'm done with that I switch on my PC where I have a quite overwhelming list of games queued up to play.

Coach_McGuirk4123d ago

@dsswoosh - it's that type of mentality that stagnates our beloved industry. "If it ain't AAA, it ain't good". Means that people just buy the same old games, meaning publishers don't take risks. PC is where you go if you want something fresh and new.

dantesparda4123d ago

@ webeblazing

You mean like you troll every Sony article? oh thr hypocrisy

Imo Dota 2 tops everything out there right now and its free. Sure it has items you could buy for the game but those are purely cosmetic.

I personally love the Glados kill announcer in dota 2, hilariously funny.

SteamFirst4124d ago

Ahh, yes. My next article which is pending is my top 5 free to play and dota 2 is number one. This is inexpensive, but not free games. Feel free to comment and suggest other titles which you prefer. We all have our own opinions. Right.

DC7774124d ago

I got Half Life 2 for under 5 bucks. An oldie but a greatie.

SteamFirst4124d ago

It is a great one. This list is of best $5 games when not on sale. But agreed. Half Life is great

JohnnyTower4124d ago

I just downloaded the Steam App last night for the first time. WOW. I cant believe what I've been missing. The Mods alone make it so much better than console. And with the Big Picture mode it plays just like a console. The dashboard is actually better than X1 or PS4. I just ordered a GTX 670 graphics card so I can rock the Skyrim upscaling mods. I had no idea what I had been missing.

hiredhelp4124d ago

Plus the savings johnny every saving you make is saving off your 670 ;)

SteamFirst4124d ago

The app is amazing. Just another great part of being a Steam gamer.

webeblazing4124d ago

you mean the os. i maybe try it later closer to the end of the beta. you if you mean the phone app, yes i can chat with people on my friends list and buy stuff on sale while out of town and even have it download to my pc. steam keeps improving as time goes by

Volkama4124d ago (Edited 4124d ago )

You think it's good now? Wait til you see a Steam Sale in action. It may just blow your mind.
