alpha-0ne: VF5 is coming out on the 360. I am looking forward to seeing what the finished motorstorm and F1 are like though. As for resistance, it's been done... repeatedly. =)

"None of them really stick out to me as being must have games. "
Don't buy them then. Its quite simple. Sony ain't holding a gun to your head. I'm getting Resistance, RR7 & Motorstorm. (Actually already got Resistance thanks to Ebay. It's been sitting on my shelf for the last two months waiting for a PS3) :) BRING IT ON!!! |

Like I said in another post which I'll quote:
"Don't get me wrong, not saying they are bad games just not ones that grab my attention by looking at names alone, MotorStorm would interest me most I think." I don't/ didn't plan on getting one anyway at least not until MGS4, FFXIII and other big names get released. |

@ Heitzu
Fair enough. Its just that comments like your 1st tend to ignite the 360ites into mass anti-PS3 posting. I've seen enough of that in the last few weeks. Lets just all play nice. :) In 6 months we can judge both systems fairly. |

"Virtua Tennis 3 tho, that would be pretty sumptuous if they've got the serving done well and online play." Bad news on the online front, there isn't any on the PS3 - better dig a 360 out for Sumo's 360 conversion as that does have it. |

FORMULA ONE CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION - SCEE - Disc
Some of the screens look awesome on that, seen a vid but was hard to judge from the quality, but looked nice from what I could tell with a great sense of speed. |

Yeah but how much will they cost?
If the games are Ŗ60 they can go and whistle. |

I have indeed 'staggered in here drunk' (bar job) and would like to say that (a) it depresses me to find you all bitching over your consoles at quarter past one in the morning and (b) if any of you suckas are up for some rogue trooper blasting I'm online right now and ready to have your sorry asses. night night :)

An excellent launch lineup to be fair.
However, most of the stand out titles are already available and afaik PS3 games are going to cost over 75Euro. Sony should really release games at a reasonable price, but I suppose their logic is that if people are willing to pay a lot of money for the console they'll do it for the games too. |

I think your so f**king retarded u pieace of **** cause you freakin ignorant most of that shit is a bad remake of the tittles already out for the 360 in their worse version ever. With the delay and all that shit and still too hard to make them look if not better at least the same good for the PS3? That's pathetic and you are even more for even talking about this shit. Go play ridge racer minus 7 or FNR 3 and tell me why you re waiting to enjoy next gen gaming for that price with worse graphics. Got it? When you don't know shit more than just what you hear DON'T EVEN POST proving how stupid you are. |

"23 ill be there, buying ps3+resistence+ motorstorm. Elder scrolls sucks!" Are you trying so hard to prove what a fanboy you are? I can tell just by the fact you have no idea about games.... Elder scroll sucks? Are you stupid or something? Resistence is a stupid unbalanced game trying to prove something with incomplete graphics and motorstorm... ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU ALL WANT THAT KIND OF A GAME? just cause it's a PS3 exclusive with funcy graphics... So ... How much in total? 800 For a piece of Junk with it's accesories.... Smart Smart... At least if Id hear you say that you were going to buy Elder Scrolls I wouldn't realise that easy how much you don't know about real gaming than what Sony passes to you. |

Sweet! Virtual Fighter 5, Tekken5 dark resurrection..
I want to see how F.E.A.R run on PS3 compare to Xbox360.. @davisorle Everyone has different taste.. Halo2 sold 6.4 million copy. Bungie, the developer just admitted it was half bake cake. Can u said every Halo 2 owner's know nothing about game? Doom 3 was another example. Now I look back it was ok but wasn't that good, more like 7.5 out of 10.

@smoothn00dle It's like they said.. It needed way more they could have done and it's true.. Plus don't you understand why they say that now? Not to prove that it wasn't good. But to make people expect it to be so so freakin better than Halo 2... Marketing stuff.And I didn't say about Halo 2 but for halo one when I was making a point> I remember what you are talking about :P And yeah I've said before that everyone has a different taste but... Motostorm? Don't you think it's too much that eveyone expecting PS3 is talking mostly about that game? And don't tell me they were a biker game type funs? I wont believe u! :P (BTW VF % is coming out on xbox 360 as well so... Though I don't like VF at all... It would take a lot to make me change my mind for that game)

Very solid if unspectacular launch lineup for Europe. Even if you do have a 360 there's still Resistance, Motorstorm and F1 and the Network stuff.

Technicaly it's not a launch line-up though: it's a launch+ four months line-up. Agreed it looks very good on paper but when you remove the games that are available elsewhere looking just as good (running better in some examples e.g. THP8), playing with a more ergonomic, rumbling pad, for a fraction of the price... Don't get me wrong, for next-gen newcomers it's ace, but let's put it into perspective: if it IS all about the GAMES, you could hunt around the 2nd hand shelves, pick up MOST of the quality titles in this list and a 360 with a second pad for less than Ŗ425. That said, I am tempted just to use it as a Media Center / Linux PC / TV based web-browser / BR player but I won't be getting it because of it's games.

LOL and what Rambaldi said. In addition compare it to what's available on 360 now? I'm sure Mr Moore is fairly happy ;)

I've been playing the motorstorm demo qutie a bti this week and everytime i play it i get really excited and the extremely disappointed.
I know its a demo and doesn;t represent blah blah blah. But teh loadingtimes are hideous (even moving between vehicles on the selection screen takes an age), the graphics, whilst impressive, arn;t what i was hoping for, the control is nto quite right and the lack of rumble completely kills the experience. The other games i've player so far Blazing angels (xbox 360 version looks better) GTHD (looks fantastic, still the same old GT handling model) Hopefully they'll be something else soon that takes my fancy, but at the moment i'm not loving it, and would gladly sell if someone offered me a decent amount for it. |

Like every launch line up around 10-15 of those wont make it out on day one,no I'm not a fanboy rambling it's just always the case.
And like a lot of people say,if you already own a 360 then that line up of games is a bit unexciting,I played a lot of them friggin months ago :/ |
