JKKDARK Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 2-4 are opinions.You can't really make a sound judgement on a PS3 without sitting down with an open mind and just playing a few games on it.Too late. I already did that. Go to a buddies house who has everything updated and actually uses the features on his console and let me know what you think.I still believe it sucks. All these 'opinions' are from people who probably never even got to play a PS3 besides the store model.Wrong.
BlackKnight Posted August 8, 2008 Author Posted August 8, 2008 Good points. But apparently Blackknight wants to compare hardware. Anyways, did you download the latest PS3 update Don? In-Game XMB allows you to chat with your friends while in a game.Watch the video you moron. Someone who knows infinitely more than your stupid ass says the 360 hardware wins hands down. Stop trolling this crap into just as asinine a thread as all the others. Can we please get on topic and discuss that? I'm sick of idiots like you not even reading or watching the damn first post but throwing out all the PS3-support rhetoric just cause you think that's what this is about. Bottom line; 360 online wins. 360 library wins. And now we have a professional opinion that the 360 hardware also wins. Card readers and wifi don't have sh!t on that.

That, BlackKnight, is rude and offensive. If this was any other forum, those insults would get you banned. Glad you set such a high standard for newcomers around here. And if you already decided that the 360 was better, and have this video to back up your own opinion, then why defend it so adamantly? You wanted others to chime in and feed your own view of the situation, and apparently attack anyone whose views differ. Just know who threw the first stone here my friend.

L.S.D Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Uh, Gouken, did you watch the video in the 1st place?
Gouken Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) Uh, Gouken, did you watch the video in the 1st place? Yes I did, and Carmack has a lot of great points. But overall, this is a 360 owning, ego-feeding thread. I find that one post with the picture of superman with the PS symbol on it funny, but it really reflects what BlackKnight is doing. Making a thread with someone in the industry as his spokesman fortifying his own pre-conceived opinions. If you wanted to justify your purchase and talk about how wonderful the 360 is, use the appropriate section. Otherwise, deal with my own opinion and personality. Edited August 8, 2008 by Gouken

Umm, if you are not going to accept an opinion from an expert in the gaming industry, who are you going to believe? Your argument do not hold water. Here, we have a famous game programmer, who is neutral when coming to develop games for PC and consoles, who knows more about gaming systems in technical term than any other ordinary person out there and you say that he is fortifying BK's so-called "pre-conceived" opinions just because he mentioned that X360 is a greater platform to develop and give good reasons on why it is so?!? Who do you think we should believe? A famous game programmer or a superfan who is a defender of his purchase of a failing system? Sheesh, i would quote what Inky has said about you, " why don't you use your power to go and develop and maximise PS3 potential when other developers failed?"
gavin19 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 This thread has a sorely familiar feel to it To be fair, I didn't watch the video either. I read a transcript somewhere though and it was pretty conclusive from his point of view. I thought it was generally accepted that the 360 was easier to program for anyway, and thus even with it's on-paper-inferior stats it can match and outperform the PS3, at least for the meantime.

Sheesh, i would quote what Inky has said about you, " why don't you use your power to go and develop and maximise PS3 potential when other developers failed?"I've heard the same story from the creators of uncharted and resistance in the PS3's favor. What John Carmack says, I cannot fully agree with. Everyone is bias, everyone. Carmack has been developing on PCs his whole life. So of course going from a PC to XBOX then 360, JC would feel more comfortable with that and see more potential with it. Because it's easier doesn't mean it's always better. I can post all sorts of dev talk about how much better the PS3 is over the 360, with text and videos to boot. But am I going to? No. I'm going to point out a fanboy who does do that. That's all.
basilbr Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) 360 is great for now, think everyones saying that. It's cheap(er), got loads of great games and a great online system, and most people do say its easier to program games for it. I'm just not sure how future-proof it is. Amazingly enough its the medium format(ie dvd vs blu-ray) which looks like it will be the achilles heel for the 360 in the years to come. Hopefully MS will come up with a solution.~ok so maybe I just re-iterated what the Carmack said but, erm a summary "360 is better right now, PS3 will be better in the future if MS dont sort out new storage medium" Edited August 8, 2008 by basilbr
Robert Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 I find it amazing that both these consoles have less than 100GB of disk space. Hell, you can even buy hard drives so small these days. They should have at least 300-500GB drives fitted as standard. Oh, and BK, stop insulting other members. Last warning.

Try explaining that one. I'd rather buy a 250GB HDD for my PS3 for $80-$100 from newegg.
basilbr Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) I like how Carmack goes on about the 360 and PS3, but it in the end the only machines he's playing himself are Wii and DS! -it's as if he just doesn't get it, and can only keep on pumping out high-spec demanding, uninspired FPS's like he was a broken record.

GodPigeon Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Like i said before, the PS3 is the most comfortable system out without a doubt. But the Fun Factor on the 360 is a bit highter then the PS3 NOT because of its game library, but because of Xbox Live. Its as simple as that. I dont know what games you are seeing, but the Exclusives on Xbox 360 arent THAT great. One of the best ones is coming to the PS3(Bioshock) Too bad Sony can never out-do a title like gears 2.
