That was pretty funny. And true. Maybe it was funny because it was true? Hmmn...humour based in truth? Oooh.

Ratchet and Clank will be repetitive as hell. And MGS4 is headed to 360 - mark my words ;)

The only thing that will get me buying a PS3 will be GT5 because I'm a driving game whore, but even then the price will have to come down considerably first.

As has been said, Tel is starting a clean slate next gen wise. And has also been pointed out, he is struggling to get a budget together. So a PS3 is a great big bloody waste of cash at this point. Ever decent next gen game will also appear on the 360 and in some cases will actually look better - EA Maden 60fps on 360 as opposed to 30fps on the PS3 to name one admittedly lame example.

Stuff like Virtua Fighter on the PS3 is now 360 bound with extra features and online mode to boot.

GTA will be better on 360 no question.

Heavenly Sword has been getting very average review scores indeed, and Motorstorm has the lifespan of a suicide bomber who is about to park his car and light the touch paper.

And don't be deceived by the 360's poor failure rate so far. The PS3 has been pretty bad as well, but seems to have avoided any bad press up until now.

The plug and play charge packs can be found for next to nothing online so whoever moaned about batteries needs to get with the program ;)

Oh and rumble, it makes all the difference. Colin Mcrae on PS3 feels shit without any pad rumble. And to add icing to the cake, doesn't actually handle as well as it's 360 big, stronger, more handsome, and rumbly big brother :)

There, a nice unbiased opinion :) :P

Rachet and Clank will be awesome as it always is. The 360 has fuck all platformers ha ha ha ha ha.

Unreal Tourney III (a game Tel listed that he wants) is on the PS3 and has mods. God Knows what will happen to the 360 version if it ever arrives. According to Epic the PS3 engine already looks and runs smoother than Gears of Snore.

Haze is currently no longer planned for the 360

Warhawk has been released only a few months into PS3's life and its a better online game than anything on the 360's much vaunted live service ha ha ha. I should know I have played every 360 game online.! How amusing that with this and Unreal the PS3 has the best online games for 2007 :lol:

White Knight story and FFXIII will shit all over any 360 RPG. Mark my words I have secret information close to the devs! Blue Dragon is shit with very average reviews LOL.

MGS4 will be old hat by the time it comes to the 360, if ever, and it probably wont because the cut scenes alone will knacker its crap storage. (awaits next piece of desperate 360 fanboy evidence it will appear despite the PS3 having no games they want, a bit like Devil May Cry yet another franchise invented on a Sony platform)

GT5 looks miles better than any 360 racer as per usual. PGR4 has had to axe day and night cycles because it can't all fit onto pathetic old tech DVD!!!!! And Burnout Paradise is going to be superior on the PS3 with more features!

Colin Mcrae already looks better and more polished than the 360 version and runs at a better frame rate (as pointed out in IGN's review) So does Oblivion incidently showing that resource intensive games are better off on the PS3.

Motorstorm is awesome fun, much more so than the majority of the 360's endless yawnsville track racers.

Who in the name of fuck buys Madden? Peter Moore states that all future PS3 releases by EA will be to the same spec. :lol:

Heavenly Sword averages out at 81% on Gamerankings. A perfectly decent game indeed and better looking than most on the 360 that is well in its second generation.

The piss poor storage of the 360 has held back GTA4. Mark my words I am close to a developer! It will be shit no question. And only suckers pay for more online content. In fact only suckers pay to play online at all bwahahaha :lol:

The Xbox360 is a borked console full stop. You dont see Sony being forced to make cringeworthy apologies and having to implement a free replacement service. Get with the programme. Its a noisy, badly implemented non standard, ugly power brick beige heap of junk. The general public know it and no invention of a PS3 problem as damage limitation on a little forum is going to change that.

You have to purchace plug and play battery packs for the 360 controller? More fucking extras you have to buy that come as STANDARD for the PS3. Get with the programme.

When you have played a few games without rumble you realise it made fuck all difference whatsoever. And the 360 rumble has always been hilariously naff and so piss weak and inconsistent.

Tell is struggling for cash. He also had a PS2 as his single main console and enjoyed its franchises and games many of which continue into the PS3. What franchises has the 360 got? Oh Halo. And more Halo. And another shooter that looks a bit like Halo. LMAO.


There you go, a nice unbiased opinion, absolutely not full of throwaway factoids and purchase justifying fear. How to make a console look terrible in a few simple steps. :lol: :rolleyes:

Could someone please rename this thread "Battle of the Fanboys"?!! :P

Really, guys, it's one thing to have an opinion but this is turning into a school playground "debate"! You'll be challenging each other to a duel next.

Oh, what the hell, it's funny reading all the ranting, so carry on... :lol:

What a great insight into how you think the PS3 is better than 360. i really like how you say warhawk is better than ANY game on 360 but you haven't even played most of the games online!

Your line of reasoning seems to be "this game will be better than 360 (the whole console, not just a game) because you 'know someone' close to development". because all developers work on a game believing it will be immediately inferior to others in the same genre...i bet even the Army Men devs thought they were doing something truly original and groundbreaking.

Where's the old 4thie gone? has he disappeared and been replaced by a flag-waving, out of context-putting fanboy who loves to drop in that they know developers?

And you Windows is soooo much better than Mac ;)

Are you being a complete div deliberately or what Crazy?

I think I am overestimating peoples intelligence in this place.

The last sentence of that post should have given you all the indication you need that it was a piss take and parody of Retros uber fanboy post and shows how easy you can turn the tables on an argument with vitriol.

Which incidently, you have not picked up on and only picked up on mine which says a lot about you.
And Zaichik tends to only pick up on my enthusiastic PS3 posts as trolling. And this gentlemen, says a lot about how one mans troll is another mans moderate sense talking gentleman.

I would hardly say that because I didn't spot that you were definitely taking the piss means that I thought you were talking seriously, or thought you were for a second talking rationally!

I just know that some people have some pretty strong opinions on these forums (Zed in particular) and if someone were as deranged as to write all that then they might think it's unbiased (hence why i didn't immediately spot you were taking the piss).

we get enough fanboys around without you playing devil's advocate too 4thie!

No probs dude, but you gotta understand I love all this banter/bullshit/AND genuine strong opinion. Its what made Final Level great. I aint got no problem with fanboys at all or being called one. Its all part of the fun.

It seems that a lot of people can't pick out subtlety or conveniently forget certain other posts I make but I aint too fussed because if I am annoying someone its because I have hit a nerve.

I have stated before how I am a big advocate of underrated 360 games like Lost Planet, Test Drive Unlimited and Kameo. And how I love Bioshock and Crackdown. And how I posted excitedly about the upcoming Halo 3 and Mass Effect. And If you read some of the old Gamecell and Final Levels reviews I have praised a great many Xbox games in the past (and I really loved that old hardware). There are quite a few people on here who I suspect aren't nearly as open minded and happy to enjoy games wherever they may be and haven't made any where near as many multi format interested posts as me. Which is absolutely their right of course.

Just because I think Gears of War is a smoke and mirrors average pie and I am not particularly a fan of the 360 hardware doesn't mean I am a died in the wool Sony lover and Microsoft hater. I speak always as I find unless I am taking the pee or doing a bit of baiting, and even then I will try and throw in some decent logical arguments.

But in a place like this which at times may as well be called Gamecell 360 and the PS3 is shit Forums (and way before the PS3 even came out) I WILL play devils advocate and chuck back a PS3 version reply in a similar manner and I like to watch with amusment at the startled defensive reactions that someone could possibly enjoy the dust gathering cowpat from Sony. And I will post any positive (or negative) experiences of PS3 games or any I find interesting for the future (which are a lot), whilst this place is still called 'Gaming Chit Chat.'

Nah, he's just struggling to Justify paying 50% more than the price of a 360 in order to play Resistance for the last 12 months.

But he's got Warhawk now I guess - a gimped game if ever there was one - Shadowrun at least stood on its own, without the need to give away a free bluetooth headset with it. I expect that from desperate mobile phone salesmen, not one of the world's largest electronics manufacturers, proof if ever that Sony = d00med.

To quote one of my personal heroes, Gabe Newell...

Quote:
 
“The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels, I think It’s really clear that Sony lost track of what customers and what developers wanted,” said Newell. “I’d say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a ‘do over’. Just say, ‘This was a horrible disaster and we’re sorry and we’re going to stop selling this and stop trying to convince people to develop for it.’”

Ha ha excellent Jockmeister. Although of course I have a 360 too so the argument is rendundant and I can enjoy both and dont need to justify anything, unlike skinflint biased you and your somewhat bizarre, almost religious anti Sony cut and paste quotes crusade. :D

And you should know I downloaded Warhawk sans headset you twerp so once again...

PAY ATTENTION TO POSTS!

Stupid bloody fanboy.

A fanboy of what, exactly?!! I have all three home consoles and both major handhelds and I enjoy all of them, and see the failings of each.

If I didn't see your subtle "humour", it's because that post was pretty much like all your others. You may claim to be unbiased, but pretty much all you've posted about since you came back to the forums is how great the PS3 is. You don't seem to be able to accept that others might have a different view, judging by the way you leap on any post that's even slightly critical of PS3. If that's "intelligence", then I'll stay stupid, thanks. :angry:

Mate, if only you knew what I know, but am bound not to say about this, you'd be recalibrating your Frustration-O-Meter® on my behalf.

/bangs head on wall to alleviate frustration at not being able to blab.

EDIT: What it DOES tell me, though is that your developer friend ain't working on GTA IV.
