Let's have a reasonable discussion about the PS3 game library or lack thereof

[quote name='guinaevere']I'm not. Still haven't bought a single game for it. My big bro is getting one for his birthday, and I'm supposed to find some games for it... haven't a clue what there is that's good and cheap.[/QUOTE]

There is good, and there is cheap. For a 8 month old system, there isn't much that satisfies both criteria yet (the same can be said of the Wii, IMO). Last year's sports games can be had on the cheap (Madden 07 is $12 at GS); but that's not an incentive to many, as sports game fans tend to buy this year's model. I can understand.

The only cheap-cheap PS3 game I've seen is Enchanted Arms, which I've heard is a decent RPG, but at $20, it's cheaper (and a more recent release) than it's 360 counterpart. I don't order fish at restaurants on a Monday, because they've been sitting around all weekend and stink. I feel the same way about this game (though admittedly haven't played it).

NG Sigma is fucking amazing; I don't know how they improved upon such a phenomenal game to the degree they did, but they did (And did they ever!). I completely understand, however, if you don't want to pay $60 for Ninja Gaiden Black 1.5 (which was itself Ninja Gaiden 1.5). Once this puppy hits $30, though, I'll curb stomp your garden if you don't own it. It's too good to be true, IMO.

Resistance is ok. It's a shooter, and a mixture of the "end of the world alien invasion" shooter and "WWII" shooter cliches. 40 man matches are a clusterfuck of fun, but not $60 fun. It would be a top notch game if Gears of War never happened, but, hey, The Four Horsemen would have been a bigger band if Nirvana's Nevermind wasn't released the same day as their first album (Nobody Said it Was Easy). However, it did happen, and GoW did happen, so bully for Epic and Xbox. It doesn't hold a candle to GoW, and in 5 years, Resistance will be a forgettable shooter in the way that GoW will not be. That's my opinion, and I'm stickin' to it.

The Fall will be nice. Having played both Warhawk and Heavenly Sword (beta and demo, respectively), I think both are top notch games that will be highly regarded. Warhawk is great online fun, and controls rather intuitively. Heavenly Sword takes a God of War approach to Ninja Gaiden-style unforgiveness towards button mashers. I dig the hell out of both.

I can't speak for R&C or Uncharted, because I know little of either.

Oblivion: GOTY will be out this fall for both 360 and PS3, and that's up to you which to get it for.

PS3's biggest failure right now has not been a lack of games, because they *are* there, IMO. What the Wii has avoided in a lack of games (my opinion is that, outside of a small number of blockbusters like Twilight Princess and Super Paper Mario, there aren't many games worth buying for it), they have also successfully avoided being *accused* of lacking good games. How? Virtual Console. Every week, Wii fans begin to clamor on Sautrday morning about the three games that will be available for download come Monday morning. GUARANTEED. The games are there every Monday. Even when they stink, they're there.

In comparison, the PSN has put out underwhelming arcade-y games, like XBLA, but nothing has stood out except for fl0w (another game I recommend). They don't always have demos come out, and if they do at all, it's weeks after they've been played through on the 360. Why bother with the PS3 version now? PSN games are hit or (usually) miss, and priced decently. Worst of all, they only have 12 PSX games for download on the PSN. What they SHOULD do is put out 1 game (minimum) each week. Much like the VC, accusations that "PS3 has no games" would fall by the wayside if people began to clamor for what PSX games were coming down the pipeline on Thursday. Instead, we get a half dozen trailers for dumbass movies (FRED fuckIN' CLAUS! FRED fuckIN' CLAUS!), and no demos/PSN games at all. I don't care if it's Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero, it's something.

To wit: the Japan PSN store has 97 PSX games available already, and their console launched at damn near the same time ours did. We in the US have 12. That's a substantial failing with the PSN and PS3 that, if fixed, would very, very quickly revitalize the image of the PS3 in the US market. And, overall, reaches a larger userbase (for cheaper!) than a GQD reprint, I might add.
 
[quote name='zewone']Then why are you calling out Gizmo?[/QUOTE]


More generally, he's indicating that zealotry in one direction is more tolerated than the other. :) I'm sure Gizmo was an example because of his very staunch criticism of Sony in general (and the PS3...)

I have both, and am loyal to neither. I do agree in certain criticisms of both systems, where they are warranted... and I intentionally view hyperbole on both sides with a skeptical eye (I don't care to be marketed to all the time... we get enough everywhere else...), and I won't hesitate to point out certain amounts of absurdity on either side.. because it's always nice to bring balance to any discussion. I am not absurdly irritated by negative comments about the PS3 in 360 discussions (and vice versa)... (most of them are opinions I do not share), and I reserve the really biting commentary for the complete loons. :) As most folks on this site do... which is why I enjoy visiting and contributing to discussions here.

But, if someone spends their time defending the PS3 criticism as regularly as ManaKnight, being critical of him unnecessarily while at the same time being overly tolerant of someone who constantly criticizes (with hyperbole, like Gizmo does at times) the PS3 clouds any "fanboy" fingerpointing as merely a double-standard. In other words, having it both ways is not an option for some people. If we're going to root out the silly zealots who merely stir up discussion threads to see what happens, we need to apply the standard equitably. (I'm not saying either ManaKnight or Gizmo are guilty of such... but those who are cannot be only PS3 or only 360 fanboys.)

Why anyone would want to tear down one console to enjoy the other is beyond me... I've not done that sort of bickering in many years.... :) Amiga rules! :p

Now, as for games (or the lack thereof) on the PS3. The simple answer... it's year 1... it was the same for the 360 in its first year... so, my advice is if one's one the fence, wait until you see the release date of a game you want before deciding. I am excited for the potential of both consoles to fill in the RPG drought they currently have. :) But that's just me.
 
Zewone, other than the initial, valid comment about not finding anything you were interested the first four months, once again for every post after you're not contributing any good discussion to this thread, and I'd kindly ask that you just avoid this thread in the future.

Please read the beginning of this thread. If all you can offer is a "LOLZERS, Look at me I'm l33t!" Go elsewhere. However, it is fine if you do express a likeness for the other system because it has good games out now, or this year. However the key is in moderation. Like the above poster, I think the idea of brand loyalty and fanboyism is stupid and childish. As gamers, any good new games is a good thing regardless of which system it's released on. I'm looking forward to Halo 3 for example, but that doesn't prevent me from wanting Killzone 2 or Haze when it comes out on the PS3.

I do have to say that my 360 got no play time for over 4 months after I got it. But the same could be said for my PS3, once the decent release (or near release) games got played out it's been sitting there.

So far from that I've read, the Sony and PS3 is just a matter of time before it hits critical mass to get the games out. The problem is, despite the good looking first part titles, I still keep thinking they need more. Or at least, a more constant media push, where like the 360, I'd like to see more interesting game announcements each week.

Right, because everyone else is pouring out with discussion over a worthless thread where there is little to nothing to discuss.

If you can't handle my responses then ignore me, because you will not dictate where and when I post.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I also think's it's weird how little RPG's we have, however that should be changing with Mass Effect this year, and Whtie Knight Story hopefully early next year.

It's more like a brawler RPG with a dark story (murder mysteries) and dark pokemon aspect (collecting souls for new moves).

I can't wait for next week's demo, as it should be an English version of the demo from Japan, so I can see what's up with everything that happens before you're allowed to beat the crap out of folk.

[quote name='H.Cornerstone']I always find it so funny how people give TheManaKnight so much crap for being a Playstation fanboy, and yet those same people who criticize him let Gizmo off the hook even though he is just as bad in the opposite direction... Hmm... If Manaknight enjoys the PS3 that much more than the other consoles, so what? It's his right and opinion.

Anyways, in the first year I have had fun with Resistance, Motorstorm, NGS and Oblivion, and on hte PSN Super Stardust HD is incredible. I am happy.[/QUOTE]Also, I don't invade other forums crapping on other consoles. I only stick to the Sony forum supporting PS3.

LOL we're different... When I bought my ps2 I was not fond of spending 300 dollars... so I broke it up into funds... 150 for DVD and 150 for PS2... the ps2 was my first DVD player. [i think].
 
The PS3, doesn't have a lot out right now but what is out personally I am enjoying. Resistance, NGS, R6, The Darkness, Psn games. It only gets better this fall/winter with Heavenly Sword, Ratchet, Uncharted, possibly Lair. I haven't even turned on my 360 since I got my Ps3, and I wont until Bioshock comes out. I just enjoy the PS3 more then my 360 but I think both have their own batch of good games.

Resistance and NGS both seem great (played demos) but now that they're not super-new, I can't bring myself to pay $60 for each of them (Plus I bought the original Ninja Gaiden at release for $50 back in 2004). I was tempted to get Madden 08 at TRU and one of them at 50% off but it's a pretty long drive. Maybe tomorrow.
 
question. Why aren't there any first party sony games out that are good? I mean I can understand third parties being reluctant to spend all that r and d money on a small user base but SONY themselves should have spent some money on making some games instead of putting all that money on hardware development. How can they sell 120 million ps2's and sell 1.5 billion in ps2 software and not have any money to develop at least 2 killer app games? boggles the mind. Is sony that arrogant. Even though microsoft is losing money like crazy on xbox and xbox360 it seems that they live to sabotage sony cause they will just raise the price on vista . I guess it benefits the consumer cause the prices have dropped on both ps3 and 360 but it just seems like a really bad tactical error by sony that could have easily, easily been avoided. speaking of microsof though, If they lost all that money on xbox and xbox 360 and zune didn't do shit and now nobody is buying vista unless they have to buy a new computer, how are they still in business?

Umm....Resistance, Formula One, and Motorstorm are all out now and well-reviewed. Lair and Heavenly Sword are out in September, Ratchet & Clank Future and Folklore in October, Uncharted and GT5 Prologue in November, LittleBigPlanet, Gran Turismo 5, Infamous and White Knight Story in 2008.

the only games to me and a majority of mass consumers that look good are rachet and clank, heavenly sword, and gran turismo. Problem is they aren't out yet. Resistance, formulan one, and motorstorm aren't really AAA first tier titles. If they were then PS3 would have sold a whole lot more. little big planet looks interesting but I don't know about the concept of just racing to the end of every stage. what happened to the bigs like devil may cry, kingdom hearts, resident evil, soul calibur, final fantasies? They should have been in development like 3 years ago. This is absurd that it's taking this long. talk about dangling carrots. the nearest must get game is 6 months away.
 
[quote name='sparklecopy']talk about dangling carrots. the nearest must get game is 6 months away.[/QUOTE]

That's precisely what I heard during the first year drought of 360 games... "Where's halo? Where's X, where's Y?" The only difference was the "only game in town" advantage of the 360... :)
 
The library is not great but looks to be getting better. I'm having a great time with Virtua Fighter 5, Resistance, and Tekken 5. I haven't bought many games but I haven't really had to. We have the luxury of watching Blu-Rays or playing 360 games while we wait for the great games to come out down the pike.
 
On it's own, the PS3 actually has a decent library. That's not necessarily the problem. The problem is that for $150 less you can own an 360, with a library that's simply more diverse and plentiful. Yes, the 360 had a head start, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the 360 arguably has the best lineup out of any of the next-gen systems (everyone's preferences excluded).

The winter is shaping up nicely for the PS3, but again the 360 has more exclusives hitting, making it a very moot point.

Me personally, I'm content with just Resistance and Calling All Cars (even if I don't really care for CAC), but that's only because I have a Wii, 360, PSP & NDS to hold me over until the good games start dropping.
 
I have lots of great PS3 discs:

Casino Royale
Underworld: Evolution
Black Hawk Down
Kingdom of Heaven
Crank
Pirates of the Carribean

...wait...you meant games? Yeah...I just own Resistance...
 
You guys should pick up Virtua Fighter 5 when it inevitably gets dirt cheap. You won't have much time to play anything else but Resistance or Calling All Cars!
 
[quote name='The Mana Knight']But that $130 PSTwo cannot upscale games up to 1080p (Playing a PS2 in HD looks ugly). [/quote]Do gamers really buy new consoles for older games? PS2 games should look good on the ps2, or the developer should just make it a ps3 game. God of War 2 could have EASILY been a ps3 launch title. Instead of putting the extra work into it, they made boku bucks putting it out on the ps2 instead.

Come on gwen you can type better then that.....
 
I bought a PS3 when Ninja Gaiden: Sigma came out. I played the shit out of it for about two weeks, and I haven't played a PS3 game since! My girlfriend had a casual obsession with Motorstorm for a few weeks, which I bought specifically for split-screen racing. Man, I wanted to stab myself after I found out that it had no two-player local racing, but she loved it, so money well-spent, I guess.

PS3 fanboy or not, there's a serious lack of games worth playing. You can talk about launch this or launch that, but as a consumer in the here and now, that $600 monolith in my living room is a status symbol, through and through, and not a gaming device. I rent Blu-Ray movies once in awhile, but only because I'm a pretentious cock, and love being one of the only people at the crowded local Blockbluster who rents them. They really don't look that much different.

I want to like my PS3! Unfortunately, I don't. There's nearly nothing to play that doesn't have a better framerate on my much-more-broken-in 360, and until White Knight and Final Fantasy and Metal Gear and all those other Japanese exclusives come out, I probably won't start liking it. It's not like Sony Games is tanking or whatever -- the PS2 is still the hottest thing in the market, and the PSP has sold nearly three times as many units as Nintendo's oft-heralded Wii. They're raking in the dough, and I love their products, but man do I have buyer's remorse.

Every time I look at my PS3, I wish I had spent the $600 on blow and hookers instead. I probably would have gotten more playtime out of the money that way!
 
Well I own both the 360 and PS3 and also Xbox and PS2, You have to say that sony really dropped the ball on this, and it's a shame. You have your #1 online title on PS2 being Socom ( which they never listen to the people that play the game so why should they care LOL) and they don't even have it ready at launch, that would have sold alot of PS3's at $600 price tag from the start. Then they lose most of the exclusive titles such as Ace Combat ( which they could have put online like the 360 is doing and should have been done long ago) the only games now on PS3 that I really care about are MGS and FF, where's a new God of War? for the next gen system? Oh! a new one is on PS2 and another on PSP! Face it Microsoft is the new industry leader and sony is now the 2nd or 3rd of the console gaming world, and it's a shame the PS3 is a better overall machine in quality and power , I mean I bought a 360 and had to send it in after 1 month to get it fixed. Sony had better get it in gear or they will just be another SEGA!
 
I finally bit on a PS3 and so far am very underwhelmed. I bought Resistance, which just isn't anything special at all. It looks even worse when compared to something like Bioshock or Halo 3. That's the PS3's best shooter? In all fairness though, Heavenly Sword may be good(still not sure since the demo was so short) and I'm really looking forward to Uncharted. But right now I payed $360 for it, and I'm feeling ripped off.
 
I bought a 20GB on impulse about 3-4 weeks ago, and when I got home, I immediately went to Metacritic and started looking up reviews to decide what games to get for it. I found exactly one current release game that I really wanted, Ninja Gaiden Sigma. I figured that I might pick up R:FoM, but I was only going to get it to have something else to play, I wasn't really excited about it.

I started going through the list of upcoming releases, and found another 3 exclusive games that I wanted (Heavenly Sword, Killzone 2, and LittleBigPlanet). I'm not into Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid or Tekken, so many of the Sony franchises make no difference to me. I'll probably want the inevitable God of War III or Shin Megami Tensei games, but it doesn't look like they've even been announced yet.

I ended up returning the PS3. Luckily, I hadn't even cracked the seal before realizing that there weren't going to be enough games that I want in the next 6-12 months to justify owning it. Not even at $400. I'm going to get a 360 when the 65nm chips are available, and maybe buy a PS3 in a couple of years when it has more exclusive games that I want. I'll probably be able to get one for $400 or less as the regular price by then anyway.

So yeah, I'm not very impressed with the PS3 library right now.
 
You can't please everyone... I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince someone that the PS3 is a good system. The bottom is majority of people here are enjoyin their PS3.. and that's what counts.
 
Its been all PS2 games for me thus far. Which has been cool since I never really owned one for long before. There hasn't been any exclusives I've had to have yet.

I am looking forward to Folklore, Ratchet & Clank & Heavenly Sword this fall. Little Big Planet and Home should be cool whenever they arrive.
 
When Haze, and Unreal Tournament 3 come out we'll see what you haters got to say then!


I was thinking about UT3, and that maybe the biggest game for PS3.. because if that game is good, and then the online component is good, no lag, m/k support, ability to msg friends from in game, good set of multiplayer options... then it might be the game that changes the persona of the entire PSN service.. granted PSN needs more content, and Resistance does great online, but UT3 is a game that's traditionally known for being online, and if that's doing well on PS3, then I could see more people leaving xbox live and coming on over to PSN to play online games...

i wish i had taken the same approach. although, it does make a pretty decent dvd player in the meantime. oh well, maybe when ratchet and clank comes out. It'd be nice if they'd get on it and release the demo.

I know, cause I have the same sentiment in regards to the Wii... I see them in stores... (they're hunting me), but there's no real Wii games that make me want to continuously play Wii... so far there's Zelda, Wii Sports tennis, and hopefully Metroid...

I feel the same way about the Wii. Heck, I've already got Zelda for the GameCube. I'm sure that I'll own all three consoles eventually, but the 360 is the only one with a broad enough library to justify the purchase (for me) right now.
 
I plan to get a PS3 in the next 1.5 months or so, although I know there aren't too many exclusives to look forward too right now. (I have a 360 and a Wii.)

I am interested in playing Resistance, Motorstorm, MLB 07 The Show, Lair, and Heavenly Sword.

My main reason for getting a PS3 is that, despite Sony's behavior up until now, I have a nagging feeling that the game selection is going to get awesome in the next two years or so. Plus, FFXIII is a must-have.
 
So I pulled this list from another thread that shows which games come out this year, including some multi-platform titles:

Tekken 5 Online
Time Crisis 4 + Guncon
WarHawk
Lair
Hot Shots Golf 5
Bunch of PSN titles
Heavenly Sword
Ratchet and Clank
Folklore
Eye of Judgement
Haze
Unreal Tournament 3
Singstar
Uncharted
GT5 Prologue

That list looks decent, but nothing that really, really wows from the get go. Meanwhile the 360 gets Halo 3, Bioshock, and Mass Effect to wow users.

Then again, Sony will probably show Heavy Rain in 2008, which should be a game that'll get people interested. There's word that the same developers who made those great 360 exclusives this year are now under Sony contract for PS3 exclusives. Not to mention more multiplatform titles like Borderlands.

So 2007 for the PS3 saves itself with a list of good looking games. But 2008 things will get interesting. This does parallel the 360's situation though. Its library was just plain poor for its first year.
