Uhm, PS3 or X360? And what games for either?

[salty mud]

The 360 is failing, its sales are declining where as the PS3 is finally picking up. It will remain excusive.

Oddly, Smash Brothers contains music from MGS4, and the character Snake is playable..

You sort of put yourself wrong there. It has took almost 18 months for the PS3 to start selling well. Even though the Xbox sales are falling, it has been on sale since late '05 and had a lot more time to sell. The 360 still leads the sales by 8 million units, and that gap will not be closed soon, I think.

And let's not have a fanboy war, because that would be sad. We are advising the OP on which console to buy.

If the money potential from MGS4 on the 360 significantly outweighs the time and costs to port it, and the PS3 version doesn't sell as well as anticipated, they'll find a way.

Now that IF is the size of the moon and you know it. The kind of IF in programs that keeps leading to other IF commands and is intent on driving you mad. I suspect you played ignorant just to push my buttons.

Plus I sort of doubt MGS4 will appeal to masses of kids with attention spans of 5 minutes (the story stretches from the MGS1 and has become rather convoluted) or the brainless college students who love the Halo franchise primarily for multiplayer and GOW for chainsaw guns!!!111!!1shift!one

.......................I suggest not starting ANOTHER console war like saltymud suggested.......

 

[Swein Forkbeard]

Okay, would Guitar Hero II and/or Shadow of the Colossus be good ideas?

 

[salty mud]

Shadow of the Colossus is an amazing game. Although it may seem simplistic or too short, it has a charm of it's own.

Good choice, sir.

And Cleric, shut up.

From what people tell me the Guitar Hero series is really good.

Yeah. Somewhere I heard that you can face the bosses in time attack mode.

And SotC is definetely not the only game like that. I've heard that Metal Gear Solid and Super Mario Galaxy can end up that way, where it doesn't take long to beat the game, but beating game is not even half the fun.

And between Gran Turismo 3, Gran Turismo 4, and Burnout 3, which racing game would you recommend. Would you recommend any of them to begin with? Would ICO be a good idea?

And what about Uncharted: Drake's Fortune?

Burnout owns all! Get Burnout Paradise if you have a 360.

I think you overestimate the costs to port, and underestimate the market for the 360.

Ah, generalisations, where would the fanboys be without them.

Are you knocking Halo?

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

I would be surprised if MGS 4 got released on 360 considering how adamant what's his face said that it won't be.

Read this. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=62199

It is old, but it comes straight from the horse's mouth. You can't say the Xbox has changed since then, because it was released. The PS3 probably has however, probably stealing another console's features...

 

[Kozmos]

Uh huh, that article is about one month after the 360 was launched. Programmers havent even learned to properly harness the consoles power. Besides Kojima is the director not a technical expert.

As for fanboyism I am neutral. I dont own any console (but have played with all of them) and probably wont for quite some time, until MGS4 has been released in Europe with a PS3 bundle. Even then, I'll probably wait for the price drop.

Just buy one in America. It's cheaper and more complete than anywhere else.

 

[Civfan333]

can you even play games if you buy the console in another country? my friend bought a wii in Japan, and then it wouldn't play any games here in Hawaii......
