Poll: PS3 exclusive titles worth it?

[crooked_ferret]

Being as how I'm against exclusive games all around I'm going to have to answer no on that principle alone.
I agree there have been some good ones.
I just don't think it overcomes the fact that it's nothing more than a selling point.
It's not like the games can not be made to work on xbox or pc.

Erm...No, some exclusives on the PS3 can't work on the 360 as the PS3 is more powerful, and bluray is larger than DVD by a lot e.g. MGS4, Killzone 2

bluray is only required because of lazy program optimization and lack of compression.
most pc and xbox games would be 5 to 10 times their current size if the textures and packages were expanded. No console currently compares to a top of the line PC as well. So any argument about performance is pretty much killed there. Heat dissipation can not function in a console well enough to keep up with a pc's performance, and unless they significantly change the designs it never will. Toning down one shader or a texture protocol isn't an earth shattering event in an engine if it were no pc game titles would exist at all.

Look I'm not trying to be a hater here, I actually shelled out the cash for a ps3 myself. Maybe you should have a look at the new engine crytek is working on, and explain to me why it can't be done, when they can do it in real time. Across all three platforms. With an engine that isn't even complete yet.

totally unrelated: holy crap I just saw the avatar trailer and it looks freakin awesome...

 

[crooked_ferret]

And yeah, the Avatar trailer is f****** out of this world. Apparently 60% CGI, 40% live action, with "the most advanced CGI ever seen", and the movie having remade a lot of equipment usually used for CGI and 3D movies. Niiice...

yeah sorry to topic hijack but I just wanted to say they're using that same technology to make a live action version of battle angel.
Which if anything like the manga will be so wicked I can't even wrap my head around it...

Gran Turismo 5 has 1000 cars, real time damage, 60 confirmed tracks, with at least 20 more to be confirmed, the whole of WRC in, as well as NASCAR (who doesn't like turning left), not to mention the usual inclusion of Le Mans and many other worls renown races. Most of the tracks, and all the cars are all ultra-real e.g. race drivers get thier own times on real tracks in their real cars in GT5. Plus, there may be the inclusion of the F1 Gran Prix as the Ferrari F1 car is in GTrologue, which is a first.
Plus, GT5 now has car damage, the full interior to every car, and the added feature that with an EyeToy, in 1st person mode, the camera can move the camera in the car to how you move your head to help checking wing mirrors etc for the extra-realistic touch.
So yeah, I;d say GT5 offers much more than Forza 3. By a long shot.

1000 cars, which cannot be modified heavily. Forza features THE most customisation (of both visual and technical) in a racing game, and over 400 cars in the first place. Forza also has real time damage, as did Forza 2 and most other racers, nothing to brag about there. Over 100 tracks in Forza 3, including real life tracks, being "ultra-real" (which is a hilarious statement). As for the F1 junk, don't even bother claiming that until it's 100% confirmed.

Forza also had a full interior, unique to each car as they are directly modelled after the real thing.

The eyetoy inclusion is amusing-Fancy turning your head away from your screen in order to check a mirror in a game? Yeah, that makes sense.

What online systems/features will GT5 include? Versus racing, of varying types. Totally awesome. Forza includes video recording and sharing, (realistic) photography mode, photo sharing, online auction houses, design sharing/selling, and plenty of leaderboards, custom race rules etc.

1) Killzone 2 is exceptionally good, even if you look at if from a tech point of view. You haven't stated why it should not be bought, and all reviews would disagree with you. I'd like to see why you think it's so awful.
2)"GT5 should be a decent arcade-y racer" Do I have to state how wrong that statement is? GT, having played it since number 2, has NEVER been arcadey, as it's always been striving to be ultra-realistic. I have no idea what game you are expecting if you think it'll be in anyway arcade like, because GT5 will be in no way an arcade game.
3)Amazing how you claim God of War III overrated, when you have never played the game. As with your Killzone 2 comment, I'd love to know how you came to this conclusion.

Killzone 2 is BLAND. Just as with Crysis and even more prominently, FarCry 2, it's very pretty, but it has no depth, innovation or originality. Space Nazi Empire versus one-man army. Brown and grey. Linear. Typical FPS weaponry. Snore.

Granted, it's a technical achievement for a console game, but it's gameplay isn't anything to shout about. As for reviews, direct your attention to reviews of Halo 3, and other generic games of it's ilk.

Ultra-realism in GT? Despite it's on GT5 and it only just gained crash damage? Sure, the cars handle realistically, but so does every other proper racing sim. GT in it's latest games (including Prologue) feel like arcade games more than sims.

As for God of War III, I came to the conclusion after every Sony fanboy drooled over the E3 trailer which was...Well, God of War III. Hack and slash. I liked the other two God of War games (though 2 was a bit...Meh), but it's not like it's a groundbreaking, brilliant game anymore. It's just the same thing with a new lick of paint.

Keep your fanboyism to yourself next time.

I've played a shitload of great games on the thing but since I have a PC I use that the most - but the PS3 is also a blu-ray player and man do those movies look nice on my T.V.

I mainly rent games for console though.

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Yes, they're worth it. When september rolls around i'm getting a slim to play some.

Killzone 2, Valkyria Chronicles, Metal Gear Solid 4, Infamous, Little Big Planet, Warhawk, God of War 3 and Final Fantasy XXIII or whatever goddamn numeral we're on (when they come out)

 

[MrGFunk]

Of course, If you can afford it why miss out on the SONY love. If I could afford it, i'd get a 360 for Alan Wake.

Uncharted is still good.

 

[LordGarbageMan]

Heavy Rain. 'Nuff said.

I completely agree, that game is the sole reason I will get a ps3.

 

[bushwhacker2k]

I'm surprised the PS3 seems to be so popular, if you go by ratio of price and how many good games there are for each and the PS3 is represented by 1 the 360 would get at least 12, I've never played Little Big Planet so I can't speak for that, but other than Resistance and Infamous I know of no good PS3 games.

It's too bad blockbuster doesn't let you rent consoles anymore like they used to... it would be quite worth it then.

 

[Beatrix]

Disgaea 3 anyone?

Here.

I have a 360, I like my 360.
Disgaea 3 is the only game interesting me on the PS3.

Still a very heavy pricetag for one single game though, regardless of its number of hours of play, quirky characters and complete lack of SRPGs on European 360s.

 

[Cowabungaa]

All depends on what games you like eally. I've seen plenty of PS3 exclusives that I'd like, thus I'm getting one. Can't wait untill september 1st.

 

[FlyAwayAutumn]

I have a PS3 and a 360 and all I can say is that I think you should buy a PS3, I think of the PS3 and I think that the exclusives such as Killzone, Resistance, uncharted, etc. are well worth the PS3's price but I think of the 360 and I can't think of a single exclusive other than halo that might be worth anyones time.

You know what that tells me? That PS3 exclusives are more worth your time and money than most if not all 360 exclusives.

All of that is my opinion ofcourse, both consoles have good and bad games they're about the same and both worth the money.

 

[Samuel Cook]

I'd say yes to the PS3, it was the exclusives which got me to trade in my Xbox for my mine, and I've had no regrets. Out of curiosity, what's keeping you from trading your Xbox for a PS3? That's if having two consoles would be a problem, It certainly helped me with the money side of things.

 

[Souplex]

There are four(ish) good titles exclusive to the PS3; InFamous, LBP, Valkyria chronicles and whatever Ratchet and clank games are floating around (I think they have gone episodic hence the ish, in the same way that Half life doesn't even have two whole games under its belt but people still act like it does.)

 

[xavierxenon]

I decided to give up my 360 to get a PS3 and I haven't regretted it once. Most 360 games are either on PC or are multiformat, while the PS3 has games unique to it.

All the PS3 games I own are exclusives and they are all awesome, I haven't had more fun with a console in ages.

 

[Akai Shizuku]

I hate any and all exclusive titles; they're a giant "f*** you" to anyone who doesn't have the system.

 

[dennyaaa]

The exclusive games are worth every penny.. just like the Xbox360 exclusive titles
