You're saying Resistance is better than Halo? The only reason you think it's overrated is because you loved it so much that you expected it the be the absolute nirvana of gaming. And Resistance is the only FPS on PS3?? Well, I guess when you're starving, anything tastes good...

Launch games are always disappointments, rushed for release.
Resistance, F1, COD3 all suck!!, and motorstorm is average to me.
Wait for titles like The Darkness and stranglehold plus many others taken to the next level.
I have more blu-ray movies then I do games

COD3 definitely wasn't rushed for the PS3 release, I'm telling you that right now... it's been on 360 for ages.

Yeah the difference is, is that the 360 is a bit easier to develop games on, whereas the ps3 is not. It's an entirely different hardware architecture for starters. As i've said before you can't judge the ps3 just yet, it's only just kicking off.

After paying the $1000 for my console and putting in a copy of Resistance I'm not going to lie, I was pretty dissapointed in the PS3 compared to my Xbox

But slowly and surely the PS3 is growing on me, just really hope the next wave of games pick it up or we could be at the beginning of the end of the new console, which will really piss me off after spending so much lol

Much love to sony, keep up the good work



hey just wondering wat setup u got? i played my ps3 on my friends rear projection tv, and on my parents widescreen crt tv and i wasnt impressed that much either. But on my 1080p tv it does look nice.



Hey Parker
I've got a 110cm LG Plasma running at 1080i. Looks ok, but should look a damn sight better you know... saddens me the xbox is much better at the moment

I didn't say COD3 was rushed just ported
Even the 360 launch games were dismal

Stonecold you've really given your credibility some stick there mate, COD 2 scored high from everyone that reviewed it averaged 9/10 same for PGR 3 which is still the best racer a year on perfect dark zero was one of the worst launch titles and that averaged 8/10. 160,000 people play COD3 on LIVE (last count), I've played every decent FPS every made for a console (including resistance) COD 3 is second behind goldeneye and one place ahead of halo 2, mainly due to its multiplayer genius.

The ps3 "kicked off" in November so its weeks away from being half a year old, and the 360 is closer to 1.5 years old taking into account the north American and Japaneses launches. People are right to assume the 360 has had a year head start but wrong in thinking the ps3 has just kicked off as it is almost half a year old.

ZOMG you just instantly put me off buying a Ps3 and Resistance. The HALO games are undeniably terrible, the first being obviously worse than the second. I played through each of them and can't think of another time in my life where i was so BORED. I got 10x more satisfaction and fun from playing through both Metroid Prime games, and 100x more from playing through Zelda: Twilight Princess.

All companies do, but not to the extent that Sony does, (i.e. Microsquish have never *blatantly* lied). Look at all their pre-rendered trailers and faux screenshots... MS might not be angels, but compared to Sony they ****ing are!!! Then you wonder why people are disappointed?? I posted a picture that summed it up nicely, but it contained the eff word so it got removed... (ask PitiPS3) But check these out...

guys u have to understand that the 360 has been out for more than a year now, and it uses direct X which is technology that every game developer knows how to use... The PS3 is totally new technology, no one has ever used it before. Compare the games that came out at the PS2 launch to the games now, they look shocking.
Once the PS3 peaks, which will take longer than a year, its going to be awsome

YourMum said: Its a known fact that sony "revised" the ps3's specifications shortly before the first production phase in order to reduce manufacturing costs. Sony have been operating under negative profits for some time (is it hot in here or did my laptop just burst into flames?) now so its very possible sony have cut too many hardware costs and are now relying completely on the "blu-ray factor" to ship units. If the ps3 is capable of superior graphics why do none of their first gen games look better that the 360's first gen's?
It could be just a slow start, but still there's plenty of reasons not to take the 1k gamble.


What the? PS3 first gen is on par if not better then 360's first gen what game isn't? There not even scraping the surface of the power of the PS3. Those specifications Sony cut was The ps3 was going to have twin HDMI in the system. So next time get your facts right before you say false statements.

pitips3 I did say (yet) at the end of my quote.
Yeah but 360 owner's have to buy another 360 if they want HDMI features. Still no HD-DVD drive or Wi-Fi so the cost really adds up where the ps3 has it built-in and still gives us the option to use it.

Uhmmm how is Resistance the only FPS on PS3, when you can buy CoD3??? Isn't that also an FPS or am I missing something, admittedly CoD3 doesn't even compare to Resistance, but hey!

PS. iddqd: the "lie adjusted" back of the PS3 is still a lie, where is my HDMI?! *ooops*

Ahhh yes, but we will soon have UT3, HL2 Orange, F.E.A.R and a few others. Yes, they are multi-ports, but like Oblivion, will most likely be better on the PS3

iddqd you cant be serious if you think the pics you posted above are "proof" that sony lies or overhypes their products, like all money hungry companies (micro$oft included) they probably do, but those pictures are NO indication what so ever.

The pic comparing the 2 PS3's are called a prototype and the final product, most companies do this with their hardware, im sure you know this but are just trying to stir trouble here.
And the first pic about the world wide launch..well, things change, that pic was probably taken months before November when the plan WAS to launch worldwide.

Oh wait i just came to my senses and realised you are probably right!! and they planned to deceive us from the beginning!!?!?!
Damn you sony, damn you!
