Sony: We have the better software line-up |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: David Reeves, Jack Tretton, SCEA, SCEE, Sony, Square Enix
Ó
Sony has expressed its approval of what's been written about the PlayStation 3 and its software line-up so far. The platform has been described as having a slightly better line-up than its competitors, much to the delight of its bosses.David Reeves, head of SCEE, said that he couldn't agree more and that their company is feeling very confident at the moment. He drew references to Jack Tretton's talk over the last E3 in Los Angeles and said that he's convinced they have the edge.
"We think weÂ’ve got title after title after title, not only first party but third party and I think in America they have the advantage of the video downloads service, which came at exactly the right time," he commented.
Reeves added that it's not only Sony that's beginning to fire up good sales figures. He gave credit to the industry in general for keeping business good in the last nine months even with a receding world economy.

thers gunna be a great number of USED wiis in at gamestop and other game stores now and a MASSIVE number of used AND new 360's overstocked at retail stores.
Software sales the hardware (ps3)--> "quality and quantity"
360--> "HUGE quantity and some quality"
wii--> enuf said.

And before you say anything flamitory against me i did watch all E3 and this is my opinion which i am entitled to. Also before anyone says Final Fantasy i am sick of that IP. To death.
And the same person who said they have great software said $10 billion when the screen clearly read $10 million.
Little Big Planet? Level creation in game that can be shared with your friends?
Wow. How original. Ive been level creating in game and shared with my friends on Garry's Mod, and have been since it came out.
Rag Doll Kung Fu? Wow. I played the beta. The PC Beta. Thats what at least 3 to 4 years old now?
The only "exclusive" i find interesting is MGS4. And one game is not enough to make me want to fork out £400 for this hi-def George Foreman grill. Especially seeing as to partially quote the Dark Knight it no longer "comes in black". The silver...thing at the front really makes me feel ill.
Every day i hear the words "sony has great software", but i have yet to see any proof in this.
@Apeaggedon: Quality? What like my PS2 was quality? The only console I've ever owned with a lifespan of less then a year? The only console I've ever owned thats laser stopped working?
That really fills me with confidence that my £400 is £400 well spent. The second i put in a blu ray disk i risk the same problems. The second i put it vertical i risk the same problems.
And lets remember the numbers here, 10 million 360's and 10 million Wii's in the US, and theres almost 2 million PS3's.
I shall stick to my PC, my hi-def gaming machine thats been a hi-def gaming machine for years. The one "home console" thats never let me down. The one "home console" that does not need silly online gimmicks, if i wanted a house online id play Second Life. But guess what, i don't.

To be fair, I owned a PS2 for three years before its laser alignment failed, and I did use the opportunity to buy a PSTwo. As far as I see it, the PS3 does have some games which look incredibly promising coming for it (or are already out), but the majority of them are still in development. However, no one game on this list is worth the price of a PS3:
MGS4
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Killzone 2
Team Ico's next project
The 360, while much more prevalent in the US, does not really have the same linup of exclusive titles. However, It's cheaper to buy a 360 (with an HD), a multiplatform game, and a wireless controller than it is to buy a PS3 and a multiplatform game in today's world.

and killzone was a disappointment, so not looking forward for another one, the only game to me that im looking forward to on the ps3 is ffxiii vers

Not that I dislike my ps3, I just dislike the fact that almost no games are popping for my console, but multiplatform games, and absolutly NO JRPGs...
I'll buy an x360 chipped next summer, sadly. And I'll keep my ps3 for the exclusives, like god of war 3 in 2 years.

Well, have fun with playing tons of games that are nowhere close to being original, and sequels that have the same exact graphics, physics and everything else as it's predecessor, yet still requires twice the original requirements.
Have fun paying for a new graphics card every 2 weeks just to stay current and be able to play the next best FPS or RPG. Have fun knowing that the market is dying thanks to lowlife piraters.
You don't risk anything by "putting in a bluray disc" or anything. You'd be more likely for the thing to stop working if you went outside and started planting flowers while singing Sesame Street songs.
And don't even act like PC developers are the best ever, because single PC gamers have 10x the problems as one from a normal console game. But I don't even know why I typed all this since that was a deliberate PC elitist comment, and you had no idea what you were even talking about.
And no, I'm not anti-PC. I have several games of my own, and I love Counter-Strike: Source to death.
But yeah, look at that! That's a Sony rep giving PROPS to other developers and companies, i.e. Microsoft and Nintendo. That alone should bring all fanboys to shame.

And because of a game released FOUR years ago, the sequel will instantly fail? Logic is fail.

Is Sony's software lineup good? No. Now before you all stop reading this I have a PS3, and have friends with 360 and Wii so I have played all 3 consoles. Up to now Sony has had very few exclusive titles, and even though a few have been good (MGS4 which is my favorite up to now from this generation) most of the exclusives aren't that good and it seems that Sony has traded its past great exclusives (Devil May Cry, GTA, Final Fantasy) for new exclusive IPs like Haze, Heavenly Sword, ect. I prefer the 360 line-up with many great exclsuives like Gears Of War, Fable, Halo, and many more. Wii also has a huge quantity of exclusives such as Brawl and Mario Galaxy, ect. and even though most of you will bash some of them the truth is that you don't know how good the games are until played. So now Sony claims to have many more exclusives? The question is how much time until they are not exclusives like the rest? LittleBigPlanet looks cool, but the fact is that if it gains popularity it will also go to the 360, especially since it'll take advantage of 360s popular live service for sharing the games to your friends and inviting them easily with no hassle. Resistance 2 looked great and that is obviously a game that would stay in the PS3 but will it be better than the original Resistance because it doesn't look like it'll compare to Gears or other games from the competitors. And Killzone 2, could be the only +9/10 game in the line-up, but we can't be sure because if you bought the original Killzone for the PS2 you would know how flawed the game was, from difficulty, to AI, to interactions, to it's greatest flaw: the controls. Anyways it seems that playstation and microsoft switch roles this year, microsoft having the the best game lineup, and sony having the most powerful piece of hardware, maybe sony will make a comeback when the cycle is finally ending like microsoft did. Anyways I'm not dissappointed at buying the PS3 cuz now I got a blu-ray player for the future and I can play online for free. Now that I think of it, I think Sony's purpose on this gen was not making the best console, but to ensure they won the format war :S

That's going on a whim.

and xbox sniffing the jrpg's???
360 has hardly ANY good jrpg's... 95% of them suck,and most of them only made it big for a year or less witch means it got boring...
if you want the best visuals,action/adventure games/gameplay,bnest sports games,and best exclusives that accually have a future ahead of them unlike 360's one hit wonders... then ps3 is the way to go (as far as games).
learn to have faith in sony and you wont be dissapointed as i have not-but if you like to make excuses then be my guest. :)

@ nat2rul: I'm not gonna sell my PS3 to buy an xbox bcuz I can't pay for online service every year plus the cost of the wireles adaptor, not to mention I got blu-ray player with the console hat will become a necessity n the future, and im not gonna cough up 300 for a few great exlusives that the PS3 doesn't have (althogh if Star Ocean 4 doesn't come to PS3 I might feel obliged to buy the 360). I was just honest with my post on how Sony's software line-up is the weakest and partially disappointing...

If you have a 40 GB model PS3 you can try the fan test, once a month is more then often enough.

It really all comes down to your taste, opinion, and if you really like that game.
I know a few X360 owners who bought PS3s just to play MGS4.

If you want a console that will last more than a year, try a SEGA Master System. My Master System has been working for the last 18 years.

Playstation 3: Valkyria Chronicles, Disgaea 3, Tekken 6, Gran Turoismo 5, Tales of *title unannounced*, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, White Knight Story, etc.
For me, PS3 definitely has the most upcoming games I'm looking forward to.

Perfect Dark and Halo are really the only FPS games that I can think of as exclusives for the 360. Yes, Bioshock WAS an eclusive, but you can hardly claim that it was a generic FPS.
the PS3 on the otherhand
Resistance I
Haze
Resistance II
Killzone II
now, remember that these are all EXCLUSIVE titles for each system. there are a ton of cross-platform fps games out there.
Reply
Also, Resistance? A Generic FPS? You have got to be kidding me... It was single-handedly one of the best FPS I've played for a while! However my Hype-meter for the Sequel has been going down because it seems kind of more the same. But the weapons have kept the hype high enough that I want to buy it.
Haze was a failure.. I'm kind enough to admit that.
About Killzone2, so you're already reviewing a game that hasn't even been out yet and I BET you've never even played it. Good going there.
I rest my case with these phrases showing how much of an ignorant the above poster was. (At the exception of the Haze mention, but you don't have to be a rocket scientist for pointing that one out.)
Reply
I didn't say anything about how good these games would be. I was merely pointing out which system had more exclusive FPS games. It's true that Bioshock was for the PC as well. So now the ONLY excusive FPS game on the 360 was Perfect Dark.

HARDWARE 2 HELL YA MORE LIKE WAR HAWK 2 ***** that's what i like! Quite frankly i might just stop flaming fanboys and start enjoying my consoles more. i love my 360 and PS3. I am buying Final fantasy 13 for my 360 and final fantasy Versus 13 for my PS3.
but my wii hasn't been getting any love lately... i believe that new first person shooter... um... conduit will change that. it looks beautiful. beats some 360 and PS3 games graphically. and the story looks quite intriguing. but i love all my consoles. Fanboys have nothing better to do in life than argue about the best console... jesus christ its like their lives revolve around their console! i say we just host a "Ps3 party" a "360 Party" but no wii party because those fanboys arent really that bad... just a tad... well gay. lol but in the PS3 party we would have a 360.
in the 360 party we would have a PS3.
both parties will have a button. that button will blow up the console in the other party. that would mean that the fanboys would have to blow up their own consoles.. lol.
And yes. i ripped this off batman.

I respect your opinion but you obviously have no idea what you are talking about! Having all the latest consoles myself the only console with the best games has to be the PS3 i have played the Wii and Xbox 360 and have all the games and even beta of upcoming games and i have to say that the future for the Xbox 360 is bleak and very dull! Having to follow behind the TWO top running consoles Wii and PS3! Even if the PS3 has few exclusives it wont last long and even the Multi-platform games are still better on the Wii and PS3. Ok so Xbox has Halo and Crackdown but i have to say games like Siren BloodCurse Blow them out of the water and after playing Mirrors Edge i got to feel sorry for Xbox 360! My final messege is its not Quantity its Quality and you have to agreed PS3 and Wii win no denying it, but don't go flaring up and getting all pi$$y its just what i have to say!
Reply
But let's hope Mr. Jack Tretton actually gives us something that the 360 doesn't already have. That trophy system made me so damn embarrassed.

WTF? it was the BIGGEST ripoff i have EVER seen in my life. I mean really... THEY ARE THE SAME *****ING THINGS AS Mii's!!! GOD DAMNIT! atleast make it so that you can ARM THE *****ING AVATARS! like i can go on a rampage with my chuck norris avatar... well atleast its in glorious HD... lol maybe you can import your mii's onto your 360 and convert them to avatars.. hm...

I'm not gonna argue with someone that starts a response with : "where the hell did you not learn how to read?" - When the one before him (Me) did a better job at grammar and punctuation than the latter.
Reply
so we have halo 3 and perfect dark as the 360's only exclusive fps games versus four on the ps3.
I really don't care about punctuation or grammar because if I did, I would point out that
"It had come out on the PC aswell, that does not make it an XBOX exclusive neither a MICROSOFT exclusive."
is a run-on sentance requiring a conjuction after the comma
"And I bet there's more if you forgot such a title."
is not a complete sentence, but I really don't like to go into your hallowed territory, pseudo grammar-nazi
you also seemed to inject your own stupid assessment on things that I never said, therefore, you win today's award for internet idiot

Well, you're gonna have me point out the obvious then...
You were the one that said :
"but you can hardly claim that it was a generic FPS.
the PS3 on the otherhand
Resistance I
Haze
Resistance II
Killzone II"
If you read exactly what you said with the mind of a critic... You'd see exactly what I saw. You were basically calling all those 4 games Generic FPS' ... When two of those aren't even out yet.
Also, about the grammar and the whole grammar-nazi remark... I'm not even English, nor live in an English-talking community, you're probably English ( I bet that you're gonna say you're not, because then there'll be no way to prove that you are, but whatever ) .
I'm actually Portuguese... not Brazilian, not Spanish... Portuguese. And the language I've been learning all my life is derived from LATIN... The language ENGLISH is not derived from, you know? ;)
So, remarks aside, I think I've done a fairly good job at learning English, mostly by myself, considering I've never payed that much attention to class etc...
And as a last comment.. Let me tell you that I'm willing to give you that award back, as I don't want to feel the guilt of knowing that you make much more justice to it than I do. :)

Most of the 9/10 and 10/10 games are shared onto the 360, but not all (see: MGS4, Warhawk, etc.). On the flipside, the 360 has no exclusives worth owning. End of story.
Wii has a decent line-up, and it's definitely worth owning just for Super Mario Galaxy, Zelda, Mario Kart Wii, Super Paper Mario, SSB: Brawl, Wii Sports, and maybe a few others, but it doesn't yet have quite the library the PS3 has.
Reply
perhaps you should stop injecting fanboyism and stupidity into your thinking and you'd see why I asked where you didn't learn how to read
I didn't call them generic, in fact, the only use of the term generic was to call Bioshock NOT GENERIC
what part of that do you not understand, internet idiot?
Reply
@ K3b4b5t4r: You call Crackdown a good 360 game? You clearly have't played 360 much cuz that game sucks. And just in case the top runnig xclusive 360 games are Gears of War, Halo 3, Perfect Dark Zero, Mass Effect, Eternal Sonata and games like Fable 2, Gears of Wars 2, and Halo Wars coming. The PS3 top running exclusives are just MGS 4 and Resistance and upcoming titles are Kilzone 2, Resistance 2, LBP, and thats it... You may say Quality over quantity but most of exclusives on the 360 look and are better than those on PS3 (except for obviously MGS4, which is very addicting and I'm already playng my 4th playthrough and wanna get the Big Boss Enblem :S).
PS3 is better than 360 and Wii in some things, but beleive me that software line-up is not one of them.

@ K3b4b5t4r: 360 has outdated graphics and it's like a blurred wii? In what game? Every third party game I've played looks the same on both consoles (hd resolution does not make a notable difference on games due to the fact that it's just expanding the pixel outake with same original game's graphics), ohh and ti'll like late 2007 even third party games looked a bit better (yet not to noticeable) on 360 (Oblivion, Assasin's Creed, COD4) due to the inexpertise of the developers to manage their games on 2 256mb RAM chips. Ohh and about first party games, compare Resistance to Gears Of Wars and you'll see that Gears graphics are significantly better. Still in general the graphics of both system are on par, because the total RAM of both systems is the same (which amazes me that they couldn't at least put 1gb RAM on both consoles instead of 518mb RAM, I mean even cheap computers nowadays come with 1-2gb RAM). Processor-wise, like it or not (which diehard fanboys are not gonna admit) both systems are on par when using them ON GAME, because evn though the Cell has 7 cores (360 has 3) they're SPEs and not what I would cal REAL CPU cores because SPEs are slower. When using them for GAMES they're in fact on par, although one could say the Cell Processor is a bit better becuase of less probability of overheating and causing the system to break (which is the 360 problem which Microsoft says they supposedly don't know (and they know, but they know its unfixable cuz they can't just use different processors when games have ben programmed to run on those processors) whats causing RROD and why you shouldn't be playing the 360 like over 3 hours everyday, and you really shouldn't with any other console either because it clearly says you have no life...).
Now about those games:
Mirrors Edge: Also on 360, and the fact that it's like a freerunning game disinterests me
Angel Rings: Not much information about it...
Coded Arms Assault: I have one of the PSP versions, and it sucked.
DC Universe: Looks crappy, also on both consoles
Driver 5: Driv3r and Driver 4 were disappointing, also on both consoles
Eight Days: Haven't heard of it.
Eyedentify: Haven't heard of it.
Fifth Phantom Saga: Looks mediocre, and the fact that Sega is doing that game terrifies me
Final Fantasy XIII: Both consoles, will be an ok game but not that good since FF series went downhill after FFIX
Final Fantasy Versus XIII: Looks awesome, and the fact that the creators of Kingdom Hearts are working on it says it's gonna be great
God of War III: Also gonna be a good game
Gradius 6: Gradius 5 was ok, lets see.
Gran Turismo 5: Good game although I didn't like the series much, prefer Burnout.
Killzone 2: Looks really good and I'm gonna definately buy it.
L.A. Noire: I played an LA game on the PS2 like a few years ago, it sucked badly and was definately not GTA...
LittleBigPlanet : Looks good yet weird, can't seem to know much about this game no matter how many trailers I see.
Monster Kingdom: Played Monster Kingdom on psp, it sucked.
Ni-Oh; Haven't heard of it...
Tekken 6: Never really liked this type of fighting games.
The Getaway 3: Pfft, and Getaway 2 didn't suck enough for you to post this game?
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune: Haven't played it, although my friend who has it says its awesome.
Warhawk: Haven't played it becuz I dont wanna pay 40 dollars for it
White Knight Story: Haven't heard of it
