This year more than ever the 360 and PS3 guys get to share a shittonne of games.

Everyones a winner right?

EDIT:

THIS IS NOT A LIST WARS THREAD BUT A DISCUSSION OF MULTIPLATFORM DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR US & THE GAMES WE PLAY IN 08

List removed due in aim to get back on topic

 

[Jammy]

Sure. I prefer well-built exclusives, though.

 

[Odysseus]

in a world with multiple systems, it's as close to everyone being a "winner" as is possible, i guess.

 

[fernoca]

There we go again...

 

[Metalmurphy]

The year of the countless comparisons

 

[Gowans]

The year of the countless comparisons

Christ that is the one low point :lol

But hopefully people will tire (who am I kidding) and we can enjoy a year of peace, harmoney and love of gaming :lol

[badcrumble]

The nine months of the multiplatform game and the autumn of bitter, bitter competition between exclusives.

 

[FF_VIII]

In before GTA exclusive content.

 

[layzie1989]

I'm tired of shitty wii ports :\

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Between my PS3 and my PC, I'm pretty much covered. Prototype, hopefully that damned Mirror's Edge game, although that reeks of 2009... but yeah, good multiplatform times for sure.

Wait, I still need a Wii. Say NO YES to Wii :/

[neojubei]

I foresee a ton of comparison threads in 2008.

 

[Eteric Rice]

Not many multi-plat games I want.

Cept maybe SFIV.

 

[marvelharvey]

The more multiplatform games, the more each of my systems devalues in worth (to me)

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Not quite:

 

[Gowans]

The more multiplatform games, the more each of my systems devalues in worth (to me)

If you own both systems I see your point,
but the more people able to play the games the better yeah?

 

[Gowans]

from the year of everyones a winner I have no seen the light

Fanboys will find a way,

the year of bitching & comparison threads is a go.

For shits and giggles I might update the op with all the multiplat releases and then all the GAF comparison, which version to get and which is better threads too

 

[solid2snake]

and Install game on HDD

shut your dirty mouth!

 

[FightyF]

For shits and giggles I might update the op with all the multiplat releases and then all the GAF comparison, which version to get and which is better threads too

Some of these decisions are real hard...seriously!

SEGA Rally Revo...better wheel on the PS3, but 360 has custom soundtrack support and I ripped my Saturn audio to my PC. Played the demo on the 360 with SEGA Rally music and I was in heaven. But I know that the DFP will be better to play the game with. I really don't know what to do here. If I got one version, I know I wish I had the other version.

 

[herod]

Back in the day, comparisons were never really an issue. It's a shame that the current systems are so damn close, every single thread on a multiplat game is down to comparisons and bu-bu-bu which version to buy? Such a waste of time.

 

[angelfly]

Regardless of the number of multiplatform games there will still still be a hefty number of exclusives for all platforms.

 

[neorej]

Whether they are multiplatform or not, 2008 will be for gamers what Fonzie was for Happy Days.

 

[nelsonroyale]

not quite...but there are some very nice multiplat games coming.

 

[Psychotext]

very single thread on a multiplat game is down to comparisons and bu-bu-bu which version to buy? Such a waste of time.

If the fanboys aren't kept busy with those then they might find their way into other threads... BE THANKFUL!

 

[Borys]

SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Gowans]

Regardless of the number of multiplatform games there will still still be a hefty number of exclusives for all platforms.

yeah I agree but it seems to be weighted to multiplatform this year and fewer exclusives.

Hopefully more than ever single platform owners will be all able to enjoy playing the same games this year.

 

[Mammothtank]

This thread fails without a compriensive list of confirmed multi-platform titles for 08.

 

[Tieno]

I think Fallout 3 might be my most anticipated game of 08 (no, haven't played a Fallout game, I just really really like Oblivion and from what I've heard of Fallout 'world' it's really my kind of thing).

As far as other multiplatform games go: Burnout Paradise is a sure bet, with FarCry, L4D, Borderlands and Prototype as very hopeful.
Left 4 Dead is going to be fps multiplayer game of the year. I really want Protope to be good so it can fill the yearly Crackdown void. Borderlands sounds cool from the GFW preview and I hope Farcry is a good console port.

 

[ggnoobIGN]

PS3's exclusive line-up is arguable with any console's ever in history.

 

[Mammothtank]

I think Fallout 3 might be my most anticipated game of 08.

Indeed, looking very much forward to that one.

 

[BeeDog]

Regardless of what console you own this year, you aren't in a position to complain. Well, maybe Wii owners, don't know how the situation is there (since I don't follow any news for it).

 

[Core407]

This year more than ever the 360 and PS3 guys get to share a shittonne of games.

Everyones a winner right?

Actually, I think that the exlcusives are going to be the real draws during '08. Apart from DMC4 and GTA4, I don't see any other multiplatform titles comparing to the level of quality we will (hopefully) be seeing from exclusives. Alan Wake, Resistance 2, KillZone, Halo Wars, etc.

 

[Mindlog]

I hereby pledge not to post in a single platform comparison based game thread.

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

This year more than ever the 360 and PS3 guys get to share a shittonne of games.

Everyones a winner right?

Nope. The company with the best infrastructure now regarding "the user experience" will play a significant role in who "wins".

eg.

Burnout Paradise

I'm still wembling over which system to buy it for.

I have a PS3 and the camera.

I have a 360 with no camera.

Even though it will cost me more money to go the 360 route because I'll need to buy a camera (more like, WANT to buy a camera...
Even though the PS3 version is reputed to be the slightly, sorta, somewhat better of the two...

My experiences with XBL have been far more pleasant than my PSN experiences...plus...no achievements on the PS3 version.

So...I'm patiently waiting for more info on the game before I make my final decision. The lack of exclusives on the 360 and the PS3 is going to force Sony and MS into getting their shit wired tighter.

 

[Doc Evils]

The lack of exclusives on PS3

WHAT!

 

[Lion Heart]

I wish half those games on the list was exclusive to 360 and the other half exclusive to PS3. Im sure atleast the graphics would be slightly improved in every game. Thats just an assumption though.

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

WHAT!

The lack of exclusives on the 360 and the PS3 when compared to the shared titles...

You can unbunch your panties now little fella.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

this sucks for multiplatform owners because we wont know which version is better until Dark10x takes one for the team

 

[Hcoregamer00]

It doesn't matter to me as long as the game runs well on my PS3.

 

[timmy]

2008: The year of whatever the fuck I say it is

 

[ascii42]

Yeah, and I picked up a 360 recently, so I get to pick whichever version is the best now.
Of course that makes decisions really tough for certain games. (I'm thinking PS3 Burnout and DMC4, but I don't know).

 

[Pharmacy]

2008: The year of whatever the fuck I say it is

quiet timmy

 

[Kittonwy]

2008 is teh year of Resistance 2.

 

[Kintaro]

Between my PS3 and my PC, I'm pretty much covered.

I feel the same way really.

I still would like to play Mass Effect though but I'll just hold out to see if it hits PC in an improved port.

 

[Raist]

I hate multiplatform games. 99% of the time, they don't give a shit about a system's specifics. Exclusive games always look and play way better. That said, it's also nice to be able to play games without spending a shit ton of money in buying all systems.

 

[Core407]

Just wait for that inevitable PS3 release that has been rumored. :lol

 

[Gigglepoo]

in a world with multiple systems, it's as close to everyone being a "winner" as is possible, i guess.

It's easy to be a winner when you own every system. Maybe this will be the year I finally get a PSP.

[Kabuki Waq]

Also We will get a lot of people with low standards posting " i think its runs just fine on my system and thats jsut fine i like being ignorant" when in reality we should be posting " this version should run just as well as the other version"


yes i am thinking of CoD4, and Assy crud. I prefer to buy games on my ps3 due the dependibility fo the console but I have been dissapointed in almost ever multiplatform release so far. There should be no excuse for inferior ports and we multiplatform gamers should be made aware of the differences between the versions.
