PS3 Titles vs Xbox360 Titles

[Primvs Sextvs Loverlord]

Which console do you think has better games?

Like the PS3 has got:

- the Metal Gear series
- the Gran Turismo series
-


The Xbox exclusives include:

- Gears of War
- Halo (although I'm personally not a huge fan)



And it'd be awesome if you guys could help me compile a list cuz I'm gonna get either one by the end of this week.

I've also heard that the upcoming C&C Red Alert 3 will come out on the PS3. It kinda sucks though that Ace Combat 6 is only out on the Xbox360 =/

[The Black Reaper]

hmmmm the PS3 has:

Resistance of Man

Xbox 360 has:

Mass Effect
Dead Rising
Lost Odyssey
Blue Dragon

the last two are my personal favorites... great RPG's... and please no one come in here and start saying that Mass Effect isn't an exclusive anymore.. i know that.. who gives a rats ass.... its a great game... came out on the 360.... and now on the PC... what Bioware game doesn't do that

[Roman Rapper]

If you are thinking of buying the shitbox then I would strongly urge you to reconsider. You'll just end up with it breaking every few weeks.
Oh, and you will also have to pay 40 quid a year just for the privilege of having 12 year kids scream at you.

I've done some reading on wiki, and it seems that Bill Gates has now admitted the real reason why the 360 is so bad.
according to the source, when the final design for the 360 was due to be unveiled, there was no design to be seen. Instead, Mr Gates just got up on his desk, squatted down and layed out a huge, stinking turd. He then pulled his trousers back up and told his staff to 'Make it happen.'

[Primvs Sextvs Loverlord]

I have to be honest, I've never played a console-based RPG before. Even back in the PS and PS2 days, I never started playing any of the Final Fantasy's.

But wow ... Mass Effect and Lost Odyssey look pretty damn good.

Dayemmm!

@MediRapper: lol come on, don't be harsh! I'm being open-minded here otherwise as a PS-fanboy, I wouldn't even have considered the Xbox. To be fair, some titles on the Xbox are really good.

Moreover, I had no idea about the 40 quid annual charge =/
I hope the PS3 has nothing like that.


Anyway, let's keep this a PS3 TITLES vs Xbox360 TITLES thread, no flaming for any other thing

[Thanatos]

Remember, PS3 has no games.

[God-Emperor of Mankind]

Remember, PS3 has no games.
*removed pic because of size*

Most of which are on the 360 as well and better thanks to devs rushing the Ps3 port out.
To make a good game on the PS3 you need to have time and time isn't something all devs have.

[Primvs Sextvs Loverlord]

GTA4 - Xbawks/Pstriple
COD4: Xbawks/Pstriple/PC
Oblivion: Lol. Enjoy your unmodified content. Also I believe came later than it did for PC and Xbawks (Same with Bioshock)
Rock Band: Multi Port I believe?
Orange Box: Known to be a lot 'messier' on the Pstriple - Same way GTA4 has problems on the Xbawks (However it has Online problems on the Pstriple)
However one great game that the Pstriple has exclusive is Four Point Five. Why didn't you guys include 4.5 in your lists?

But I am trolling. I think that despite some of us wanting more multi-ports, the multi port nature of this gaming generation has been a bane rather than a boon. It makes the differences of a console much less distinct, which seems to somehow increase the amount of trolling thats going on. Honestly? I look at the Xbawks and I don't see an award-winning list of exclusives. The only reason I wouldn't go and say the Xbawks doesn't have any games is because of Mass Effect (Soon to be ported to PC), and Halo 3 (Easily countered or rivaled by MGS4). Once MGS4 and MGO comes out then I don't think there's much of a difference between the two systems in terms of how much games they have.

Just look at the games mentioned by Sextus, cutting out the ones that aren't multi-port:
Resident Evil 5
Tom Clancy's HAWX - Sept 08
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe - nov 08
Overlord: Raising Hell - june 08
World in Conflict: Soviet Assault - sep 2008
WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2009 - nov 2008
Tom Clancy's EndWar - Oct 2008
Tomb Raider Underworld - Nov 2008
Brütal Legend - Dec 2008
Battlefield: Bad Company - June 23rd 2008

I removed I think 4. I imagine if someone lists some upcoming major Xbawks games, I'd be able to remove only a small amount too that are exclusive. There just doesn't seem to be the really strong differences there were in the past, of course the systems have also only been out for a few years (More for Xbawks than Pstriple). I think it is saying something that the best selling game for either systems has thus far been GTA4 - A multi Port Release. It wasn't a case of one console being better than the other, it was that either had the game players wanted.

I take you have no interest in the Nintendo Wii, the best selling current generation console in the world? Out of the three main consoles the Nintendo is the only one that I consider to a pure console whereas the PS3 and 260 are watered down closed boxed PC's (although that does have some advantages) where FPS games are played with auto aim and games bear run any higher then standard definition (COD4 for example is played at 600P on the 360/PS3 well below the 1080p standard HD TV's are capable of)

If your wondering about graphical prowess of the each console Richard Leadbetter (former Sega Saturn magazine editor?) at Eurogamer has been doing a comparison of cross platform games. In most cases the 360 with the ATI video chipset has proven itself superior to it's Nvidia PS3 rival (in most cases ATI cards on the PC have always had better image quality then the same generation Nivida card).

It's arguable about which console has the better controller, the 360 controller is really comfortable all the buttons are easy to get too and I never read a bad word said about it. The PS3's controller is virtually identical to the one Sony have made since the PS1, it's tried, it's tested it works (apart from the sixaxis feature which needs a lot work and more support).

Online - PS3 is free 360 you have to pay for, but that hasn't stopped most owners from taking out Live membership. The PS3 is meant to have some sort of virtual world but all I've been hearing is that it's been delayed.

Personally I think you would be better of getting 360 now, it's a lot cheaper and a technically better in cross platform games and the online features are more mature. Sony have said the PS3 is "an investment for the future", and a couple of months ago the PS3 lead technical director said it will another 5/6 years before the full power of the PS3 will be realised. Frankly that investment crap is nonsensical, your better of getting the cheaper 360 now then getting a PS3 is few years time when it will be a fraction of the price that it is now. The bottom line is buy a 8800GT for your PC and laugh at the crappy hardware on display by all the next gen consoles.

The Wii is a gimmicky piece of crap. I don't even consider it a console. It only has about as much power as the PSP.

If you buy a shitbox360, on the other hand, you are basically saying that you are ok with the product you buy breaking within weeks of you buying it, because that is what will probably happen.
By doing this you are sending a message to Microsoft that you are OK with them exploiting you with sub-standard hardware. You might as well invite Bill Gates round to your house to rape your wife and daughter.

Also they have 10 million x-box live users who are paying 40 pounds a year. so they are making 400 million a year out of that yet still the shitbox breaks if you so much as fart in its direction. Once again, Mr Gates might as well be physically penetrating your loved ones.

But if you buy a PS3 you are getting a high quality Blu-RAY player for a very cheap price. You are also getting the best game console money can buy. It is also better online than the shitbox, as everyone on there is not a 12 year old lil biach who thinks he pwns noobz and you fail at life epic fail orly.

And the shitbox is too loud. it is seriously as loud as an industrial hair dryer.

If your wondering about graphical prowess of the each console Richard Leadbetter (former Sega Saturn magazine editor?) at Eurogamer has been doing a comparison of cross platform games. In most cases the 360 with the ATI video chipset has proven itself superior to it's Nvidia PS3 rival (in most cases ATI cards on the PC have always had better image quality then the same generation Nivida card).

Both GPUs had their architecture extensively changed for each console. While Xenos is shown to be superior to RSX in a lot of issues (although this is frankly a hard thing to compare since both console have radically different architectures and thus different approaches on performance issues), with the adequate optimizations (againt, the hardware architecture issue coming into play) from both console GPUs and GPU alone, it's been shown that the difference between them is substancially reduced.

But once again, this is entirely dependent on ways developers can find to optimize the GPU usage on alot of things, and this is without having in mind the remaining parts of the system.

It's arguable about which console has the better controller, the 360 controller is really comfortable all the buttons are easy to get too and I never read a bad word said about it. The PS3's controller is virtually identical to the one Sony have made since the PS1, it's tried, it's tested it works (apart from the sixaxis feature which needs a lot work and more support).

It's been long determined on several sites and forums when playing the same game but on different consoles, that the PS3 controller is actually far more confortable and practical. This issue can be somewhat relative having in mind the layout of the controlls, but the Playstation control has long been determined to be the most practical and easy to use.

Online - PS3 is free 360 you have to pay for, but that hasn't stopped most owners from taking out Live membership. The PS3 is meant to have some sort of virtual world but all I've been hearing is that it's been delayed.

PSN at this moment is very practical and the most stable service concerning security issues, along with a substancial aomunt of features for online gaming. It also has very gamer friendly looks and layouts.

Home is indeed is getting delayed and this isn't being recieved well by anyone.

Personally I think you would be better of getting 360 now, it's a lot cheaper and a technically better in cross platform games and the online features are more mature.

That's purely a persornal opinion, not a fact. With what the PS3 offers and comparing it's price with that of the 360 Elite makes it a completely worthwhile investement at this moment, if not the most rewarding investement for a gamer right now. Price different between the PS3 40GB sku and the 360 Elite is minimal, even with the price reduction, and in many places the Elite it's still 50€ more expensive than the 40GB PS3.

Sony have said the PS3 is "an investment for the future",

It is, getting one at this moment means you will posess a console which will make your investement worth for years to come until the end of it's lifecycle.

and a couple of months ago the PS3 lead technical director said it will another 5/6 years before the full power of the PS3 will be realised.

Which doesn't deteriorate in any aspect the fact it's a good investement right now, if anything it only furthers compensates it, knowing that you'll experience an ever evolving gaming experience, with each game being technologically and graphically more advanced than the previous one. It's been stated from several developers that this generation's graphical and technical evolution will be the greatest ever on the Playstation system.

Frankly that investment crap is nonsensical, your better of getting the cheaper 360 now then getting a PS3 is few years time when it will be a fraction of the price that it is now.

What is nonsensical is to get a console several years after it's best games had already entered the market and basically missing the thrill of the moment of having a console. Any regular to hardcore gamer knows this.

The bottom line is buy a 8800GT for your PC and laugh at the crappy hardware on display by all the next gen consoles.

Yet we're not discussing PCs.

Sources?

I have used both styles quite a bit and for me the 360 controller is the best I have ever felt.

The burden of proof is on your side since the previous statement about the 360 controller wasn't based on actual general opinion.

In any case, go to Neogaf and read the DMC4 thread for instance (the best example that comes to my mind at the moment), one of the many examples in which the PS3 controller is generally accepted as the more confortable and adequate, and people on that thread actually sometimes complain about how unconfortable or harder it is to play with the 360 controller.

Besides, you can't "prove" your statement in this situation (which is quite a naive thing to ask ), you base your statement on general opinion.

[God-Emperor of Mankind]

Actually the burden of proof is on you.
Freddie stated his opinion.
If he says the controller feels better for him then how the hell can you prove that ?? It's his opinion.
You however stated I quote "It's been long determined on several sites and forums when playing the same game but on different consoles, that the PS3 controller is actually far more confortable and practical.".
In other words you were trying to pass something off as general fact, Freddie did not do that.
Therefore the burden is on you.

[God-Emperor of Mankind]

If your Xbox360 fails after a few weeks then I assure you that the problem doesn't lie with the console but the owner.
If you buy a 360 now it has the new Falcon chip making the 360 last atleast 6 months.
If you treat it right it will no doubt last longer.

[Thanatos]

Yes, the Playstation Network has been releasing patches and updates, and the internet and online shop is a joy to navigate through now.

[Cúchulainn]

Don't get a Xbox for a few months or until next year.

As it doesn't have a Blue-Ray player.

So you'll have to buy a new one when Microsoft releases one.

That's about the only reason not to buy an Xbox, that and Beelzebub who makes it.
