Dispelling the Myth of PS3 Exclusives

butterfinger - 491 days 18 hours ago

TECHNICALLY Ninja Gaiden "Sigma" is a PS3 exclusive. Many people considered it the finest version of Ninja Gaiden, but it still doesn't feel like a true exclusive.

@Chuck Norris

I guess you were expecting a different experience than Ninja Gaiden Sigma would deliver. Having played through GoW I can see how you'd be disappointed. But NGS is a league of it's own. It's hard, and it's fun at the same time. I love Resistance. It's also my fave FPS game even during this time of flooding the market with such games. Because of Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and the time I loved with it, I bought NG2 for my 360 and also enjoy it.

The PS3 has a great number of exclusives coming and that cannot be denied. Sony owns a great many of the most talented developers in the world and that alone puts them into the winning long term position. The Wii might be winning financially, but the question of how long the Wii will be popular is still in question. The 360 is a great system, but MS has many less system exclusive games, and that can be a deciding factor in the end. Not fanboyism, just an economic fact.

I purchased NG:S along with Ratchet and Clank F:TOD, and after completing the game once on normal, I just spent the rest of my time on Ratchet and Clank, as I found the game's camera poor and thought that losing everything I earned when I started a higher difficulty wasn't enticing. Having later purchased the far superior(in my opinion) DMC4, I now consider NG:S a huge disappointment and the poorest PS3 game I currently own(not counting that awful Sonic game, but I pretty much disowned that failure). Anyway, the list holds a few games that have just been rumoured really, such as Sly 4 or the Jak and Daxter game. Still, a large list.

Quote:
"Sony has 20 first party development studios making exclusive titles for the PS3.

Nintendo has 10 first party studios.

And Microsoft only has 3 or 4.

Sony has more than DOUBLE the number of first party developers than Nintendo and Microsoft COMBINED."

Ratchet & clank is genius. I got it on saturday, and ive only put it down for work and band rehearsal. I thought id grown out of gaming. But this is easily the FUNNEST game ive played this gen. Gonna get that psn one once im done with this. The depth of gameplay is amazing. The different weapons allow for weapon combos ive seen only in resistance (tips hat to insomniac). If it was up to me resistance 2 would still have the weapon quick select, and it would pause gameplay just like it currently does.

Its probably the hightlight of R&C too. The way it allows you to output a massive variety and volume of firepower at an enemy is awe inspiring. F*** halo-esque two weapon game play. Make shooting games that are about the shooting.

Yeah Mass Effect was cool.I believe its the best game on the 360.While other 360 games were taking it safe,Mass Effect was actually a true next gen title.Bioware is a great developer and I thank them for Mass Effect.

I have no doubt that Mass Effect 2 and 3 will come to the PS3 because EA owns the franchise now.And how could EA say no to money?

IDemonstalkerXI - 491 days 15 hours ago

"Regardless of what people might have said about it, Mass Effect truly represents the next level of gaming. Any game that can take you beyond this planet is already a good start. Mass Effect has planets, systems, AND clusters for you to navigate."

Its cool but it was done in previous bioware games last generation. KotOR 1&2. Before that it was done in Star Ocean 3 etc. Mass Effect is cool though.

will be a PS3 exclusive because Sony OWNS the IP of Dark Cloud.

unlike Microsoft, who seem content to "borrow" the franchise for a while, Sony actually "buys" the name.

even though games like Ratchet, Resistance, Dark Cloud, Heavy Rain, Heavenly Sword, etc were made by second party studios, they will never go to another console, because Sony owns them.

they understand that outside of some truly hardcore gamers like us, it's the franchises NAME that resonates with the consumer, not the studio that backed it.

hell, the next Ratchet could be made by some OTHER studio, and the average consumer wouldn't even notice.

i mean, some people think that Resistance: Retribution is coming from Insomniac, because it has their name on it, but SCE Bend is the one that is actually developing it. and some of the people that think Insomniac is developing it are actually gamers like us.

Dark Cloud 3, Rogue Galaxy 2, and any other RPG made by Level 5 for the Playstation 3 will remain PS3 exclusive, because Sony owns those IPs.

even if the developer makes games for other consoles (which Level 5 DOES do), their franchises will remain Playstation exclusive. personally, i'd like to see a PS3 version of Jeanne D' Arc. the PSP version is GREAT.

it would be smart for Microsoft to start buying franchises from the third parties, instead of just "licensing" them for one game.

nothing is stopping Epic Games from bringing the Gears of War series to the PS3 if they wanted, because Epic OWNS the Gears of War IP.

Bioshock is coming to the PS3, because 2K owns the IP, not MS.

Mass Effect will more than likely come out also on the PS3, because Bioware owns the IP, not Microsoft.

it's up to whatever deals MS tries to negotiate with those studios that determines if they remain on the 360 or not.

striking multi-platform deals with partners isn't going to sway those 120+ million PS2 owners to buy a 360 over a PS3 when franchises like God of War, Gran Turismo, SOCOM, Wipeout, Twisted Metal, Dark Cloud, Rogue Galaxy, Team Ico's games, will FOREVER be exclusive to the PS3.

Evrey Xbox360 exclusive lands on PC sooner or later. I played Bioshock on my PC, gears of war on it, Call of Juarez and Viva pinata on it and Mass effect too. Splinter cell: conviction, Alan wake, Dead island, Warhound are already confirmed to be coming on PC. And I can sure as hell say that Halo 3, Too human, Fables 2, Gears of war 2, Halo wars and the new Viva pinata will be coming to PC.

Its sad then that an inferior platform such as the PS3 will continue to outsell your precious 360, ultimatly making it come in last for this gen.

The fact that you're trying to rip on KZ2 just shows how ignorant you are. Heavy Rain and LBP are easy targets, but KZ2's buzz has been more than justified by a number of respected gaming journalists.

Even if those games don't pan out, we still have god of war next year, which is 1 more AAA title than the 360 will have. Come to think of it, what games does 360 have slated for next year? (crickets chirping)

I have a PS3, but even I know averages don't matter when the overall number of quality games is greater on one console. Look at the PS2, it had more shovelware than other consoles had number of games in their libraries, but it also had the largest amount of great titles. It's not about averages, it's about who has the quality in the highest quantity.

To my beloved Xbot M$ lemming…I mean Xbox360 friend,

So, what is like playing a 10-year Too Flop? 10-years must make it one hella good Flop!

Oh wait, did you forget to pay your LIVE bill...yet? You don't want to pay 50 bucks for 1 month worth of LIVE. Hey, I am here for you if you need any loan. I promise I won’t charge you 100% interest if you’re late!

Oh yeah, how many times did you say your beloved 360 pooped out, RRODed? I was wondering, was it like more annoying the first time or the 4th time? I bet you had M$ support numbers saved somewhere on your phone. Do you know if Sony has one? I never had to call…

Speaking of which, how many games did you lose due to disc scratching problems? Have you tried renting Xbox360 games? It’s like playing Russian roulette with 3 chambers and one bullet! Yeah, I am totally sorry that one time my dog ran over your Xbox360 while you were playing Too Flop. My dog did the same crap on mine, but I just continued playing.

Did your living room burn down yet due to over-heating? Did you try to cook eggs on the XBOX, yet? My friends did and it worked. We actually ate the eggs ON it – we got bored playing too flop…

What are you going to do to your crap-box come this September or whenever your warranty runs out? My favorite was to use it as a door stopper or use it as a book-end…

Oh...how's Halo 3? What!!? You're playing CoD4, instead? Aww, me too!!! Of course, mine is free to play on dedicated less-lag servers! No worries brother, you DEFINTELY don’t need to worry about lag when playing a FPS!

You must be also very excited for Gears2! It will be just like those OLD, glorious days!!! ... in fact, "EXACTLY" like those old times! Enjoy your Gears 1.5! Aww, don’t worry about me you silly goose, I’ll get the superior version on my PC just like the original Gear! No need to be so concerned!
Go here: http://i37.tinypic.com/1zvp...

So, what about your HD? Did you run out of space? Want to borrow my 320GB HD? Awww! Too bad you can't, go spend ~120 dollars on 60gigs…I got my 320gigs @ newegg.com for like ~2games worth. It’s a good deal.
Oh and what color will you make your kiddie Wii-copycap avatar wear? I am excited!!! Please tell me when you know! I will be waiting.

Well until next time,
RIP, 360
