Last-Gen Console Discussions (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii)

not really pattern, but i think modern games tend to give a lot of opptions to gamers on how to go about playing the game and completing objectives as oppose to games in the past where in the gameplay is very linear.

i've also noticed that endings these days are very important. which is probably also one of the reasons why games seems a bit easier. many publishers incorporate many endings these days that game length seems to have been shortened a bit in exchange for repeat play through to get the other endings. where in back in the days, the endings were crap but finishing a game was very very fulfilling due to its difficulty. try finishing contra on the nes without using the 30 lives trick. now that would be really fullfilling.

but if anything, games have steadily become a bit longer due to the larger storage capacities of todays mediums. back in the day, cartirages were the norm while today, we get blue ray and hddvds. more storage, the longer the games can be made.

gaming has also evolved into really crazy things. look at gta, you can go around being a jerk for hours on end without actually doing anything.

for me, what really maters is replayability as well as the FUN FACTOR. if i have fun playing it even if i play it over and over again coz its really fun then even a short game would be a long game.

well I guess it is a bit of both

Hahahaha

That is so true someone name one good exclusive PS3 at the moment
(I know most of you would have said MGS4) See none PS3's are a ripoff better of with a 360 and a Wii, No matter what the price, how could Sony who have been on top form with 3 of there first consoles get it so wrong with there 4th

Well, if you're really geeky there's the overly-expensive Eye of Judgment thing...

Whilst there is no doubt that Sony has messed up a few things with the PS3 in general, be wary about laying THAT much into it. Sony still has a lot of market impetus and the PS3 will have a long shelf life to try and make it up.

The difference is that all the great Sony exclusive games are heading over to the 360. And the 360 is still cheaper with better online modes and online play and already it has a much better library of games (even the Wii has a better library of games) and most third-party developers have already seen that making a game for the PS3 would cost much more then making one for the 360 and the Wii.

And games that will appear on the 360 and PS3; the developers will make it for the 360 and port it over to the PS3 and slap on some horrible controls to use the motion sensor. It's been nearly a year since launch and still no game on the PS3 that would make someone buy a PS3 just to play it.

And why take out the rumble feature?

So They have made a fatal mistake of not respecting there customer's or giving us a new experience or great top qual games unique to the console, they have become cocky in their pursuit 3 great consoles and they have let that fail them, let them burn like the gamecube did.

there are good games on PS3, problem it's they are not that many.

the Wii suffers the same fate as of now, only first party games can be consider excellent. Most if not all 3rd Party wii games suck (such as EA games) they are just as imaginative (when it comes to the controller) as you put it in you later post... not to mention that most of those games are simple PS2 ports...

(btw: this is irrelevant, just by looking at www.gamerankings.com list of games, PS3 has better ranked games than what Wii does... but that's completly irrelevant)

the main difference: price range... that's one of the reasons people stay away from the PS3

if anything 360 pwns both Wii and PS3 alike when it comes to games

I really want to play Resistence sooner or later and a few games that are coming up look pretty good.

Just not enough to pay all that money.

Again, they've lost some of their glamour in the area of exclusives... but even so. Don't write it off; it has time to pull things together and to underestimate Sony is a mistake. It is entirely unlike the gamecube which had nothing else to offer.

Ans as pointed out, the Wii is not trouble free, and I am speaking as a Nintendo fan here. Sure, the Wii is making Nintendo more money than anyone could have imagined right now- yay! But we're a year into that as well now and how many decent third party games have there been? I mean, the best is Resident Evil 4 and that's a re-made GC game. In fact large amounts of 3rd party work has just been re-making or control adjustment. I'm lucky in that I never played RE4 and it was a quality conversion with decent use of the Wii controls so that hit the spot for me, but for the average hardcore gamer this kind of thing is not sustainable.

The answer is that 3rd party quality for the Wii has been pretty much non-existent. heck, for that matter, we're only just getting now a decent run of first party stuff. So the Wii is not exactly radiating excellence on the software front either, with most of its reputation built on Wii Sports- gorgeous as that is, of course.

Wii hardware sales are amazing but software sales are nothing like as dominant. Loads of people are buying the Wii, but proportionately far fewer are buying anything else for it other than Wii Play (though noting in japan they buy Sports as well). The speed of Halo 3 sales is not likely to be matched by the Wii, and for the first time sales declined slightly in Japan recently.

I'm not being gloomy here- Wii has had a fantastic start, in a month where nothing interesting came out for it it still sold almost as much hardware as the Halo-backed Xbox, it has stunning potential, and Super Mario Galaxy is out soon- time for the big guns.

But Nintendo cannot make all of its games. If the third party situation doesn't shape up, then four years down the line the Wii might end up looking pretty shabby compared to the competition.

I hear good vibes about this 'Zak and Wiki' game, though.

I can understand and validate your point but the fact is There is a Long list on why the PS3 is Bad
