Dave Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Ok, we've had a few good titles out, but i'm still waiting for the great ones. This is always the problem i have with microsoft.. they release a great platform but the games are slow to follow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Dave, this should be on CPU, or at least in the Gamesroom on TSN Theres only ever a handful of killer titles on any console. The multi-core side of the 360 is a big leap from previous generations of console, as well as the fact that all the big devs are more into Sony than Microsoft (due to the number of consoles sold). The 360 is really beginning to hot up at the moment, theres loads of games i want to buy, and theres sooo much on the horizon. Have faith....

Woppum Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Dave get your bum over to CSN ive made a few posts now on the 360 (its all I do over there..., but that's a good thing ) Id happily have a convo over there about this. Ive bought most the games out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorburn Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Looking at Test Drive Unlimited I kinda regret selling my 360. But it was VERY loud, especially the DVD drive. All my friends that I've tried have been far quieter, both the fans and the DVD drive. Must have made some revisions since the early machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Dave, the PS2 launched with some quality games, but even now, better games have come out that push the PS2 to the limits. Give the developers time to realise what they can do with the 360. You've certainly not seen it as its best yet! It will be the same for the PS3, when it comes out the games will be good, but it will get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] If they PS3 had released when Sony originally said, it would have the same problems as the 360 had at launch. Many devs will have had the dev kits for nearly a year by launch date, so i would expect some pretty good games. Other than GT-HD, theres nowt in the launch lineup that remotely interests me.

DHA Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 GT would be the only reason I would buy a PS3, but at the price they want for it I doubt I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 GT HD is only a minor update anyway I thought. The full new game will not be out for a while. So yes updated graphics but no online play damage, or have I got that wrong. But as you say I don't think I will be getting one either. Got my eye on a 360 in the run up to Christmas.

Sparky Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Having seen a PS3 dev machine, all I can say is I will be ordering one! And I hate to say it, what I saw certainly out shone a 360, although it's early days yet and developers are still learning what both machines can do. More so the PS3 lot.

CarMad Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I want to get a PS3, but I didn't get mine name down in time. Plus the cost is higher than I'm willing to pay and I don't want to get 3 titles that I simply won't play on some of the bundled deals. PS3 does indeed look like a great piece of kit, but limited supply for many months after its lauched will hold me back I think. I actually think MS would have dropped the price of the 360 if the PS3 wasn't so expensive, with it costing so much more they don't have any major cost pressures IMO really at the moment at least. Forza, PGR etc. will get me buying an XBOX... and I never thought I'd say that. I can always get a PS3 when everything settles down mid next year.

Sparky Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Preorders haven't technically been opened yet. Only Play.com did. Titles won't be forced on you at launch. Machine prices are approx £390 and we're not being offered the cheaper model in the UK. You need to remember that the PS3 does a lot more than just play games - it's true potential won't be released immediately, but will come into its own over time as they add more kit. Much like all the add-ons coming out for the PSP next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Stop temping me. I'm having trouble getting finance approval for the PS3.. The 360 is a little easier. Mind you I think she might have got me a PSP or a DS lite for my birthday... so can't shout too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 PSP set to get GPS module, Camera module, Flash-games player (update via Firmware) and a few extras shortly. No pricing available yet. PSP-2 noted for 2009. I've recently bought Worms for the PSP - it's cracking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashleyadam Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 The psp will also be compatible with the PS3 on test at E3 as I understand they used the psp for a rear view on driving game not sure which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Yes, the PSP is PS3 and in some cases, PS2 compatiable. Outrun 2006 will currently connect to a PS2 running the same game, and using the Sony LocationFree unit (that lets you steam your MP3s/Videos to your PSP whereever you are). The PSP was designed with the PS3 in mind - and there's a lot of kit for the two machines to come out. It will be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
