Well the new Pro Ev is a steaming pile of shite anyway, is FIFA worth getting?

Yeah, much better than PES this year.

Since it moved into the next-gen Fifa has overtaken it,

XBOX is the only way to separate the men from the boys

ps3 is the way forward

[bossdrum]

I have it aswell, i think the referee seems to be very whistle happy compared to 2008. Good game though.

Is any problem with lag on the online play?

now and again on the ps3 but its not too bad think it depends on the internet connections

[rocky black]

Wasn't convinced at first but well into it now. I like the fact that it's not piss easy as well. The ref is a bit whistle happy alright but you'd get over that. Can see myself playing this game a serious amount in the coming months

it is but in this case your wrong.

[The Boogieman]

it is but in this case your wrong.

no sir, i am afraid that in this case, it is you who is wrong....

[Johnny Logan]

no sir, i am afraid that in this case, it is you who is wrong....

no im afraid sir if you check most gaming websites, most developers blogs etc. that the 360 wins out.
altough ps3 is bullet proof and has the better technical specs, they just cant get it right due to the expense costs of developing games to match the specs. in a few years if it becomes more cost effective then yes maybe ps3 will be on the front foot.

any1 worth their salt and into gaming knows this.
if you dont believe me, ask the professionals.

most games are developed for the 360 and adjusted for ps3. not the other way around.

im a semi serious gamer. right now the best thing about ps3 is the blueray.

fair enough im not a really serious gamer and dont really know anything about game or console devolpment but i do pefer the ps 3. as i said earlier thats just my personel preference.

problem with ps3 is it doesnt live up to what it can do.
its like having an rs6 and audi restricting it to 155mph.

in hardcore facts & figures the ps3 pisses all over the xbox but in reality its the complete opposite.

Look at the online gaming alone. Xbox 360 is the standard all other formats try to achieve. Look at multi console games, they all get developed for the 360 and then modified so ps3 can play them. why? because its easier, cheaper and achieves better results.


Heres an article from a professional game developer comparing the two.

Dont get me wrong, in a year or two ps3 might pass it out. but currently its way behind the xbox.





article was done about 6months after ps3 was out......but bar prices its practically as is.

Being a video game developer (I develop for both, Playstation 3 and XBOX 360) people ask me almost daily which platform I think is better. These are my personal feelings, in no way does this reflect my employer.

Short answer: XBOX 360.

Long answer: Price, performance, visual quality, game selection and online support. I think the XBOX 360 wins in every category.

Price: This is obvious; the XBOX 360 core is only $299. The PS3 is around $499 for the 20GB version. It comes with a hard drive, but you don’t need a hard drive to enjoy a lot of great games on the 360 so I think it’s fair to compare both core systems.

Performance: On paper, the PS3 is more powerful. In reality, it’s quite inferior to the 360. Without getting into too many details, the three general-purpose CPU’s the xbox360 has are currently FAR easier to take advantage of than the SPU’s on the PS3. I suspect a few years down the road some high budget, first party PS3 exclusive titles will come out that really take advantage of the SPU’s and do things the XBOX 360 can’t, but I don’t think the console is worth buying based on this speculation (for some it will be though, we'll have to wait and see how these games turn out).

Graphics: The XBOX 360 is a clear winner. The GPU is more powerful. It has more powerful fillrate, and far more pixel and vertex processing horsepower. Part of the reason is their choice of memory, and architecture of pixel and vertex procesing. I can’t get into details but the same vertex shader will run much slower on the PS3 than the XBOX 360. The 360 also has a clever new way rendering high definition anti aliased back buffers. To accomplish the same effect on PS3 is prohibitively expensive. For this reason I think many games will have no choice but to run in non-HD resolutions on the PS3 version, use a lower quality anti aliasing technique, or do back buffer upscaling. The end result in all cases is going to be noticeably worse image quality.

Game Selection: The XBOX 360 has a huge head start here. 1 year is an eternity in gaming. Almost all multi-platform developers have made the XBOX 360 their primary platform due to timing of release-to-market, this means the games will look and perform better on the 360. The PS3 versions will be ports of the 360 versions. (The opposite was true for XBOX 1 vs. PS2). The XBOX 360 is also far faster to develop for due to better development tools (massively popular Visual Studio .NET vs. proprietary, buggy PS3 compiler and debugger), better documentation, and easier architecture (3 general purpose CPU’s vs. 8 specialized processors that require DMA). Timing has also caused all next-gen middleware developers to make XBOX 360 their primary platform, and they will ‘add ps3 support’ as needed. This support will probably be inferior to the XBOX 360’s due to manpower and more importantly, demand. It’s this catch-22 now that will continue to drive the 360 forward and hold PS3 back.

The other obvious point here is that right now the Xbox360 already has a very impressive line-up of titles on store shelves; the ps3 just launched, and has virtually nothing of interest. Also, many 360 games are already discounted. PS3 games are all full price since it just launched.

Live: Microsoft’s online support with XBOX1 was phenomenal. They built in-house experience, user base, facilities, $$ commitment from executive level (since it proved successful), and most importantly, feedback from 100,000s of XBOX Live subscribers. Playstation 2’s online support sucked. They are now playing catch-up, trying to emulate Xbox’s model. But they had their hands tied just trying to make the PS3 work, it was incredibly ambitious (blu-ray etc.). I haven’t seen it yet, but I seriously doubt the quality will be anywhere to the level of XBOX 360.

HD Content: The PS3 comes with one built in (blu-ray). The XBOX 360 offers HD-DVD as an add-on for $200. You probably don’t care about HD-DVD right now. But you will soon (The quality between DVD and HD is comparable to VHS vs DVD, if you have the right TV) so I suggest paying attention to the war that’s begun. There are two formats: HD-DVD and BLU-RAY. Basically if you rent a BLU-RAY DVD from Bockbuster, it won’t play in your XBOX 360 HD-DVD, and vice versa with the PS3. The implications of this format war would require another article on its own. But as far as the consoles are concerned, the XBOX 360 wins because the DVD player is a separate unit. Playing movies is very taxing on the DVD reader, and let’s face it. In 3 years when your PS3 DVD drive goes out due to playing lots of movies (PS2 was notoriously bad about this) you will have to go buy another PS3. With the 360, you’ll just chuck your HD-DVD player, and go buy another one at the store. In 3 years standalone units wlil probably only cost about $99-150. Another point for the XBOX 360, is that I don’t know who will win the format-war, so I would rather wait with purchase of a HD player. The PS3 doesn’t give you this option.

Sad and all as that seems I actually agree. Savagely addictive.

online its the greatest game ive ever played.
im a gold cross with nearly all the weapons done for gold. i dunno how much time i wasted saying i wouldnt rank up only to a month later.

ive gotten every achievement and gold weapon on 4 different ranks. i finally went to gold cross a month ago outta boredom and had to start on the headshots again.

problem i forsee now is when duty 5 comes out, not too long now ill instantly make the switch and always feel i didnt complete the online part of the game.
and i was never into the shootemups
soccer and car racing was my thing.


the likes of them games and your gran theft autos etc get boring after a month or two. duty 4 has been a full year of gaming.

I was the same. Had GTA Vice City but wasnt a patch on the WRC games or PES. Metal Gear Solid was the only non sports/racing game I'd have ever bought until Call of Duty 4.

I wouldnt be a huge gaming nerd I mean my standard is shocking so I wouldnt last pissing time online but hell it passes a few hours.

[wat_boy]

have ya played far cry2?

[Johnny Logan]

have ya played far cry2?

all my bitches, dogs & homies who play duty 4 says its not worth getting we are all waiting for duty 5 world at war. they all said battlefields bad company was better and that had the longevity of a fart.
i cant wait for world at war.....its going to take gaming to a new level. especially the multiplayer co-op game

[Liathroidi Mor]

Geeks

[delzer]

tom clancys endwar on ps3 is outstanding

[wat_boy]

i got bored of cod4 tbh and cod5 i reckon is just going to be more of the same but i will get it though, different developers for cod5 am i right?

man they dont half get on my nerves, fucking yanks, have to renew my xbox live account during the week, do you play tiger woods 09?

[HappyMonday83]

man they dont half get on my nerves, fucking yanks, have to renew my xbox live account during the week, do you play tiger woods 09?

Yep.

[wat_boy]

excellent game, i'll renew my account during the week and we'll have a few games

[HappyMonday83]

I haven't played it in a while myself and my short game isn't the best.

[wat_boy]

that's the good thing about the game, at least you know where you need to improve rather than just buying attributes like in previous tiger woods games but can be a tad annoying too, i mean, you could play an excellent round of 15 under par or so and your attirbutes be it power,accuracy,short game or putting would go down and you have to do that training part but still, a great game all round

[Johnny Logan]

well if any of ye bitches want to be head shot then im in duty 4 all this week and then i roll to duty 5.

you can now download the beta in xbox live without codes.

[raZor]

Just got a phonecall from the UPS man, my Xbox is back again!
