At the moment i'm a bit annoyed actually. I am practically forced to buy PS3 because the games i want to play are there and most probably exclusives, but i feel i'm being royally ripped off. If FF, KH, and some first party games were to magically work on X360, i'd be happy. At the moment, MS still releases games that never interested me on the Xbox, and they don't interest me now.
If X360 had the games i want to play, i'd buy one with my eyes closed.
Shame, real shame. Especially for my finances...
Yeah I know what you mean. Throughout all three conferences im not totally impressed witch any of the "big three." But Sony is the only one with the track record im really interested in but that price really shut down my complete excitement of the overall show. Xbox360 and Wii dont really have many titles id be willing to cough up a couple hundred dollars for.
There does seem to be some exlcusives from sony that spark my attention but whether they are AA+ titles are not, nobody knows.
PS3:
-MGS4 (obviously)
-Tekken 6 (until recently, good god what happened namco; im a huge tekken fan, so ill keep hoping for improvement)
-Gran Turismo 5
-Virtua Fighter 5(i was never a huge fan of VF, but im a big fighting games fan, and since tekken has hit a all time low... i guess VF5 is looking better every day)
-God of War 3? (please sony, make it happen)
-Next gen Socom? (if anything like the previous, should be great online fun)
-I know not a title, but the fact PS3 will be completely backwards compatible is a big thing to me
**And then you have the unknown exclusives, they look like system sellers, but have yet to be proven.
-Getaway (I really liked the style of the trailer this yr, very nice graphics)
-8 Days (the trailer blew me away, and came right out of nowhere I hope to have some graphics/gameplay like that in the final version)
-Naughty Dog's jungle/pitfall type game
-Resistance Fall of man
-Heavenly Sword
-Lair (simply stunning game)
Xbox360: (like I said, never big on the microsoft exclusives, so dont get mad at me if i dont list much)
-Saints Row, I think im one of the few who are actually interested in this title, yea a GTA clone but the footage so far does look pretty fun
-Gears of War (stunning title)
-Fable 2 (I enjoyed playing the first on the pc, pretty good game)
-Mass Effect (an unknown, but the footage looks like it will be a great game to play, i dig the art design on it)
-Graw (not truly an exclusive, but ill admit, the pc version plays like ass)
-Halo 3 (me personally, halo was completely overrated, but i will give bungie the benifit of the doubt, this is next gen, and maybe it will improve enough for me to enjoy it)
Wii:
-I'm sorry nintendo fans, there is completely nothing that interests me on the ninty front.
-backwards compatibiltiy with loved old, and classic titles is a plus
I think the features are big sellers this time around, alot more than last gen.
-sony's eyetoy and 360's camera
-blu-ray + standard hdd
-wireless controllers for all
-xbox live, sony's free online(which has yet to be seen)
-like i mentioned, backwards compatibility
-my favorite controller, the DS2, remade. (360 does have a excellent controller also)
So pretty much, Im between between PS3 and360, but im partial to Sony due to its track record. PS3 seems to be the console for me come november, as a college student im not 100% satisfied by cashing out 600 for a console (definately not getting the "crippled" 500 dollar version, damn you sony), but im sure Sony will give me the value I felt it has given me in the past.
