Poll: FPS: Which console?

[Singularly Datarific]

A new FPS is coming out for all three consoles. They all have the same story and multiplayer components. Which console do you get it for?
PROS:
Wii- Motion controls
360- Online
PS3- Graphics

CONS:
Wii- Low graphics
360- (can't think of one)
PS3- Lousy Trigger

P.S. I'm not trying to advocate the 360. I just really can't come up with a glaring flaw.

ASSUMING THAT YOU HAVE ALL THREE

I'm not including the PC. You don't enroll Micheal Phelps in a High School Swim Meet.

Con of 360: Costly online.
Not trying to be against it, just filling out your chart.

The PS3. The Xbox 360 controller is bulky and uncomfortable, where the PS3's fits your hands much better, in my opinion. ( Admittedly, it isn't as bulky as the original Xbox's, but it's still uncomfortable.)

 

[y1fella]

the wii is crippled right of the line because of lousy motion controls but for me its a run up between the xbox 360 and ps3. ps3 looses for having lousy triggers and HAVING motion controls. when the xbox gets natahl or whatever thu fuck it is then i would say that is much closer exept for the xboxes triggers

 

[Mythbhavd]

PC definitely

 

[Tourette]

PC. Keyboard and Mouse > all.
In my opinion.

Agree. I'll only play FPS on my PC along with RPG's. Everything else will be played on my PS3.

The 360s flaw is paying for online and an unholy wave of squeaky voice twelve year olds who swear too much

Paying online: not a flaw with the core playability. You can't claim that a game is good or bad based on the cost.

Squeaky 12-Year olds: I believe that there is a magical button called the "Mute" button. Try it.

And finally, to everyone saying PC, for the love of god just pick a console, it's not that hard. I have nothing against PC's, obviously because I'm using one now, but it's really not that hard to just pick one of the options. I'm sure they left out PC for a reason.

HOLY @#$%!!! Someone reasonable! Instant cookie award.

Cheifmon, think of the 360's d-pad. It has a mind of it's own.

... point taken.

PS3- Lousy Trigger

Only noobs own a PS3 and don't use these snap on concave triggers:

The wider frontal area overall makes them slightly superior to the 360 triggers for control. It also means when you you put down the PS3 controller on a table you are less likely to activate the L2 or R2 triggers.

No idea of how to implement concave tops for the analogue sticks so 360 retains the edge in that area.

Reminds me of all the stuff Sega tried to add onto the genesis in a way.

Except this is is cheap, simple and elegant solution that tangibly increases the ergonomics of the PS3 controller to catch up to an overtake the ergonomics of the 360 gamepad.

Whereas Sega's 32x and Sega CD were overly complicated, cumbersome and expensive in an inelegant design solution to the challenge of increased hardware requirements (with extremely limited application).

I see a lot of weasel words comparing Sony to Sega where the insinuation is clear; Sega failed and many (not necessarily you) seem to want to insinuate Sony will go the same way as to be honest I don't blame people if they don't have love for the company, I used to hate them too.

the 360 because the Wii's motion controls are shit *coughConduitcough*

Well how about a lack of dedicated servers? PS3 uses dedicated servers a lot and not just for the upcoming MAG but also Resistance FOM, Warhawk and many other games. Now that DOES affect core gameplay as it significantly reduces lag, is much more stable (no host to quit and end the game suddenly) and normally has a much higher player limit.

And while paying for a service that is normally free does not in itself effect the actual core gameplay, it would still be unreasonable to ignore it as a factor. It will certainly be considered by someone who is weighing up which console to get for FPS games.

I think you can define whether something is worth it based on cost, ODST would have been much better received if it had been sold at a price that more accurately reflected the content or should I say lack thereof. The question is "Which Console" not an arbitrary "Which is best regardless of price"

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

well i have all these plus a pc obviously, so i'd have to say 360, as the controller is alot better for fps, and YES there is a difference, its a TRIGGER, not a button, which is much better for fps i think, and the joysticks are much more comfortable for the 360

pc is more accurate and for hardcore, but if you like to be comfortable and have just some casual fun, then 360 is teh way to go for fps

 

[skcseth]

360.
Better feel (trigger) for FPS's imo.
The PS3's controller feels too fragile for those "rare" instances when a controller magically flies out of my hands and five feet across the room.
The Wii's motion controller doesn't respond well enough to gestures, even with the Motion Plus attached.

In my opinion.

Nothing really even comes close.

 

[Cherry Cola]

What do you mean with the PS3 having a bad trigger? I love it.

 

[Dark Prophet]

I'm a pc gamer and therefore mostly play fps-s on a pc, but I have played some on consoles, namely on x360 and ps2 and copared to the pc controls they were shit, but out of those 2 if I had to chose then x360.

Sony pissed me off when they announced the $600 price and I realized that they would never make money off of it so they thought they could screw me with that ridiculous price.

I'm just saying In that scenario (because the Wii has done it as well, and the Xbox has always had stuff go wrong with it) that having people have to snap shit on to something that needs improvement instead of just doing 2 more weeks of testing and figuring it out before the consumer picks it up. I just dont understand how stuff like this leaks through the cracks of any company that's trying to sell a system (especially a system they were selling for $600) If I were to buy something like that I would want it to work the first time.

Its expensive and obnoxious most of the time and is not to mention a time vampire (sending stuff back etc. etc.)

(I was using the PS3 as an example no harm intended, but snap on shit is the Wii's bread and butter and the RROD plus other failures (AWFUL venting system) is the 360s major flaws.)

Im going to have to go with my custom PC
