PlayStation 3 Games are better than PC Games

Judging the title alone, I just know I am going to get a thousand comments saying things like “The PS3 is 5 year old hardware, you cant compare it to the PC.” First off, I am not judging graphics, nore do I care if your PC games has more lighting particles and higher res textures, I still have many valid reasons that PlayStation games surpass the PC.

One of the main things seen in a lot of PlayStation exclusives is the sheer size of the games. The PC offers nothing close to the scale of games like God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, and LittleBigPlanet. The developers of PS3 have managed to create massive games that we simple don’t see on the PC. There is not a single PC game with boss fights as big as the titans in GOW3, 1000 cars, or 2 million levels. This is hugely influenced by the developers, and what they have been able to do with the hardware. The extra space of Blu-Ray adds a lot more room to work with that the PC simply does not have, thanks to the fact no one wants to install a 50gb game.

Sony’s first party is outstanding at what they do, with nearly every first party game being critically acclaimed. They push out amazing games that equal or surpass the PC’s offerings. Not many PC games can hold the title of GOTY. Sony’s track record of first party games is also heavily influenced by how they collaborate, sharing technologies and ideas between each over, which is simply not seen between PC developers.

Funding is also a huge factor in creating a games, and Sony’s studios get plenty of it. Not many PC games (Unless developed by Blizzard) have as much polish as games like Gran Turismo 5, or Uncharted. The PC also features a lot of bad games, much more than the consoles because of how easy it is to get a game out on the PC market. Actually, the PS3’s difficulty to develop for makes for overall better games, because developers are forced to learn the hardware before they can even start development. Sony also requires approval before the release, where as on the PC any game can hit the market, no matter how bad it is.

Creativity is also much higher on the PlayStation brand, with many more games pushing the boundaries of our imaginations. There is no alternative to the creation abilities of ModNation Racers and LittleBigPlanet on the PC. This genre has proven successful on consoles, and will remain strong for Sony.

Now before all the PC fanboys start posting screen shots bragging about graphics, I need to get this out of the way. PS3 games look plenty good, run in 720p, @30fps constant on 4 year old hardware. I think it does a pretty good job, and the games look plenty good for me to have fun. Overall PS3 games are simply higher quality, and offer more than the PC.

"Blu-Ray adds a lot more room to work with that the PC simply does not have, thanks to the fact no one wants to install a 50gb game."

No game uses that much except for games like MGS4 which just fills up the space with tonnes of lossless video and audio, not actual game content.

PC has no space limits due to the fact DD has taken over and everyone has massive HDD's. I have 1.5TB atm, do you think I care about a 50GB game?

" Not many PC games can hold the title of GOTY."
Half Life
Starcraft
Fallout
Elder Scrolls
Doom

Also all of the above have been highly modded.

Counter strike = Came from a mod
Killing Floor = the same

Any ps3 games that came from a community and took the world by storm??

"or 2 million levels."

numbers =/= good. I could go on LBP and make a level shaped like a dick and it would count. Numbers don't = quality.

"The PC also features a lot of bad games, much more than the consoles because of how easy it is to get a game out on the PC market. "

That doesn't make the platform worse or make the best game any less good. You don't have to play those games.

"Creativity is also much higher on the PlayStation brand, with many more games pushing the boundaries of our imaginations. "

Look at steam indie section.
Braid
Audiosurf
Super meat boy
peggle
plants vs zombies
portal
garrys mod

"PS3 games look plenty good, run in 720p, @30fps constant on 4 year old hardware. I think it does a pretty good job, and the games look plenty good for me to have fun. Overall PS3 games are simply higher quality, and offer more than the PC."

A tonne of ps3 games run at sub hd but are upscaled.

PC can do 2400P, 8x AA, 16x MSAA running at solid 60FPS or higher. Throw in 3D for any game if you want. Can the ps3 be connected to 6 tvs at 1 time??

There is no alternative to the creation abilities of ModNation Racers and LittleBigPlanet on the PC.

Yes trackmania nations forever for racing, and tonnes of pc games are released with SDKs so you can make an entire game of you wanted to. I could go on epics site now and get the Unreal SDK and make a game or a map or a mod and I wouldn't have to be stuck with 1 game like on ps3.

"Actually, the PS3’s difficulty to develop for makes for overall better games, because developers are forced to learn the hardware before they can even start development."

Thats a completely BS point and you know it.
"There is not a single PC game with boss fights as big as the titans in GOW3"

Have you ever played Serious Sam???

Now for some questions

If a ps3 game ever doesnt work, can you troubleshoot and fix it yourself?? No you have to wait for patches, can't get fan made patches.

Does PS3 have backwards compatability for all games??

I hope you realise what a stupid, uninformed fool you are. You have no idea whats on PC but you think you know everything about it.

jammydude4886d ago

" Not many PC games can hold the title of GOTY."
Although most of this is BS that's true, I understand what you're getting at. The fact is no PC game has come close to winning more GOTY than any other game that year for more than 4 years now. Console exclusives are the games that seem to be winning all the praise whereas PC exclusives turn out to be sub-par in comparison (aside from a few gems but even these aren't good enough to win many GOTY awards)
The shame is that the PC is turning into a multiplatform machine moreso than even the 360 if you only want to play the truely best games.

theonlylolking4886d ago

Half life, fallout, elder scrollls, and doom are over rated.

rjdofu4886d ago (Edited 4886d ago )

LOL... none of those is overrated... they're all great game. However, PC gaming might not suit some gamers taste because its exclusives focus too much on FPS, RTS and RPG (alot of those are Western games), so searching a quality hack and slash title like GOW series or JRPG like FF series on PC is hard. Another reason why PC is not good for hack&slash game is that the mouse and keyboard simply don't suit for that type of game. They work the best with RTS and FPS.

It's safe to say PC wins in term of graphic and is always my system of choice for multiplatform games. However, in term of genre variaty compared to the PS3, not really.

GeneGodHand4886d ago

PC sucks i would never game on a PC i'm on a computer doing papers all the time like i want to play games on a PC gtfo.

Capdastaro4886d ago (Edited 4886d ago )

Comeback when PS3 has real toolsets for creating a whole new dimension to play a game... Not just a generic linear levels... Thats where creativity lies.

Also nobody bought ModNation Racers in the first place so how can it be proven successful.

toaster4886d ago (Edited 4886d ago )

LOL bro you might want to do a little research before you talk smack about something. Sheer size of games? So you're basically ignoring the thousands upon thousands of gigabytes of mods and community created content? I can tell you've never touched PC gaming in your life. iRacing, rFactor, GTR2, these simulations put GT5 to shame when it comes to content. That's what happens when you have an open and moddable platform. The amount of content in Modnation Racer's doesn't come close to Trackmania. LBP isn't even true modding.

Space isn't really an issue, I can get a 500GB drive for $50. Right now I have 2TB of space in my computer with room for 2 more HDDs. What was that you were saying about space?

GOTY, that popularity contest gamers go crazy for. It's all publicity. Game of the year means nothing, but if you want to go there then I can pull out the Half Life 2 card. The only console game to get anywhere NEAR the amount of praise HL2 got is Uncharted 2, and it took devs 6 years to make a game of that magnitude. But I give credit where it's due, Uncharted is a spectacle to behold for consoles. It really proves that those little plastic lunchboxes really can do something when developed properly.

Creativity? I can get 50 games for $50, with all of them having more creativity than any big name console game. Indie games is where the innovation is and guess what, the indie scene is thriving on PC. But I know you wouldn't know that since you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

What I suggest is that you at least finish high school and get a job so you can pay for your own shit instead of feeding off your parent's money. That way you can be a multiplatform owner like I am and enjoy all games. But don't start talking shit about things you know nothing of, just go crawl back to your toolshed.

jammydude4886d ago (Edited 4886d ago )

"Uncharted 2, it took devs 6 years to make a game of that magnitude"

Uncharted 2 was in development for 2 years.....

"Game of the year means nothing"

erm, right....

"I can pull out the Half Life 2 card"

You could, indeed, if it was still 2004. It's 2010 now, though, and considering that's the last PC (timed exclusive I suppose) to gain such accolades you can definitely see his point. (Oh and plus HL2 didn't win as many GOTY awards as Uncharted 2)

" It really proves that those little plastic lunchboxes really can do something...you at least finish high school and get a job so you can pay for your own shit instead of feeding off your parent's money...talking shit about things you know nothing of, just go crawl back to your toolshed"

u mad tho? calm down, kiddy :)

toaster4886d ago

Guess what sugarcube, I ain't even mad :)

GOTY suddenly became about exclusives? lol Did I miss the memo?

"Uncharted 2 was in development for 2 years"
Your point? I'm comparing two finished products.

jammydude4886d ago (Edited 4886d ago )

You sound pretty mad tho.
"Your point? I'm comparing two finished products."
>You implied it would take 6 years to create something as great as UC2 on consoles
>It actually only took 2
>Lols commence as point backfires
>everybody do the dinosaur

pr0digyZA4886d ago

"Game of the year means nothing"

erm, right....

Just trying to understand what you mean by that. What does game of the year mean to you?. Do you base your life around what wins even if you've played all 10 of the top games. Would like to know?

Just FYI I own all consoles and PC so I'm not anti you. Just never saw the point of game of the year.

LunaticBrandon4886d ago (Edited 4886d ago )

Do this with LBP.

http://www.youtube.com/watc... A Terminator FPS made using the First Gears of War.

theonlylolking4886d ago

That looks great! It can be done in LBP but not nearly as good.

Mundo4886d ago

you mean no where near as good.

I wonder how much Ubisoft payed for this article to be written.

Skuletor43m ago

I wonder how much a AAAA journalist would cost too.

BeHunted21m ago(Edited 21m ago)

Maybe it was Sony?

RhinoGamer882h ago

Does anyone have accurate gameplay numbers from Steam or PSN? I smell snow job...

S2Killinit2h ago

If true, it goes to show that the negative press response was not reflecting reality. I personally thought omitting land traversal was a huge miss. But i also thought there was some things that were great about it. Lets see which story was true and which was made up (or worse, paid for)

Friendlygamer2h ago

No data just pr talk. The same site has an article talking about how the price of the game was slashed quickly post release, these sites treat us like fools lol

InUrFoxHole1h ago

What exactly is you're arguement? Did you read the article?

jjb19811h ago

They're right. There is no argument either. The game is a turd and Ubisoft is doubling down on that turd. It's all fancy PR talk with no actual substance. I don't know what "argument" you're looking for. I read the article. It sounds like Ubisoft asked for a redo on their "AAAA" "game". Trash game and trash company.

Friendlygamer1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Price decrease articles are typically made to make it seem like a gaming is flopping, they're often poorly researched and meaningless.
The article about the game thriving is also meaningless because it contains no data, it's basically corporate propaganda, even suicide squad is getting a season 2

In resume, not only this site plays both sides, it does it lazily and cynically because they don't care about quality, what they care about is clicks from us ( fools )

InUrFoxHole58m ago(Edited 55m ago)

@ jb
🤣 all it says is thanksfor the support. It's not like they're saying hey it's better than what you've seen come buy it. Lol you guys will whine about anything
@ Friendly
Gotcha when you referenced the other articles was like... uh doesn't that make it non biased? Basically you prefer stats with these articles or some sort of metric. I'm tracking. All I can say is... not everything is an amazing read or comment on n4g, lol. Game on!

The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication Review - Cinematically Haunting - Games Horizon

The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication was incredibly scary, and would be considered a cinematic horror because of how well everything is done visually. There are many faults with it, but at least it's very scary.
