iTWire E3 Sony - God of War III could only have been done on PS3

wiggles - 177 days 12 hours ago

Yeah, I agree. And this is hardly news, of course the guy will say that it can only be done on PS3 because he works for Sony. I love my PS3, but articles like this hardly qualify as news.

Why? Because people buy a system to play games that can only be played on a certain system. People by high end pcs to play high end games.. that can only be played on PCs. The same is true for the PS3 and the Wii. Both have games that can only cater to them, because of their unique system structure.

out of these games that cannot be done on other systems? ive yet to see a console game match kz2 graphically, but ive also yet to see ONE advert on tv for the game which has not only let down sales but also guerilla games and all their hard work,yeh the game sold well but it could have sold sooo much better

yet i see 360 adverts constantly

I agree with this. I know it's typical console marketing, but any game could technically be ported to both consoles, just with different controls for six-axis elements and a modified game engine, regardless of which console it would look and play the best on.

It is getting annoying and I do wish Sony could just afford to rain down on us with some quality advertisements and product tie-ins for their top of the line games rather than hearing the "only possible on the PS3" line again.

a killzone2 with no sixaxis and a slightly different engine is not the same game at all, its like saying gears would be able to be just as fun on the wii, its just....not likely.

Less money spent on advertising, more money in your pocket. Killzone 2 will have 3 million + lifetime sales. Not bad for a "new" IP. Your not going to buy a VIDEO GAME by watching an advertisement. You buy a video game, if you friends own it.. and you hear about it by worth of mouth.

I get where you're coming from. I agree, it wouldn't be the 'exact' same game, but the mass majority of it would be unchanged. You'd still have the core FPS elements with the same story, weapons, vehicles, and as comparable graphics as is possible. I don't own KZ2, so I can't speak for the use of the six-axis elements, but I do own a few games where I would call them an improvement if it was removed all-together and utilized the standard controller joysticks instead.

I don't like statements like "can only be done on" since it is misleading. What about any PS3 game cannot be done on other platforms? Simply because it is first party doesn't mean it can't be done on another platform and that is what Sony is constantly hinting at about almost every single game they release.

Sure you got six-axxis, but really what else? Next thing we know, Wii will say "can only be done on" for Mario Galaxy or something. From what I can tell, six-axxis has not added to any game play elements, but rather detracted from it. The only game that ever implemented six-axxis that I was happy was with the sniping in KZ2. That's it!

A better term is "exclusively on" or "only on"....

god of war was going to be on ps3 but they pulled out of development. and made god of war 2 one of ps2's swan song. I got the game when it came out and in the second disk it talks of how they were working on a ps3 and ps2 version

hey, god of war 2 on ps2 meant more sales, ultimately giving god of war 3 a bigger budget to make it a better game

I don't think its us who they are trying to convince but the mass media and mass market. there are people still out there that think that xbox surpasses the ps3 technically and one chip at a time or comments like this will sooner than later sink in.

Alan Wake does look amazing. It looks better than GoW3 in many ways and is a much, much larger game. GOW3 is mostly a linear action game and looks good, but still moves like a last gen game.

Anybody that thinks GOW3 couldn't be done on the 360 knows nothing about the technical capabilities of the two consoles.

It doesn't look better than Gow3 and it didn't win 1 single graphical award. And how does Alan Wake move like a next gen game??? It plays like Alone in the Dark.
