I don't like the bumpers on the 360 pad.
Hopefully they put lock-on to right trigger as opposed to right bumper.
As it was on the Xbox, so far the triggers (albeit the L trigger) are used for every game so far on the system that features a lock-on. I don't think you have to worry about that.C- Warrior said:

Tell me: Is Ken K. secretly owning a majority of Sony shares? Or why is he still there?

So basically most devs. view the triggers as the primary shoulder button witht he bumper being supplementary? Sounds good.
I love Sony but I have to disagree with that statement.J-Rzez said:
Its true that the PS3 has a much better lineup than the 360 did at launch for the year. The problem is is that it is competing head on with the 360 right now...and the Wii to a certain extent. The general consumer can give a damn about the comparison of 360s first year to the PS3s what matters is what is happening now. Also in the end software sales are important...Sony needs a big well known game or a masterful original IP pronto.

They do have the largest First Party resource though, that's all I'm saying... Out of the three, they have the most personnel and such as far as development teams go... There was even a chart floating around showing that IIRC...
We will see more and more titles from these guys... It's just a matter of time and spacing...
All this other nonsense is going to do is make it so there isn't a dominate force in market share this time, which is a good thing... It'll drive them to compete with each other even more next round... We got some fantastic hardware from MS and Sony this round because of the competition generated last round, I can't wait to see what would happen if it's a closer war and they push each other even harder...

You are confusing established franchise with successful first release.
When we're talking about Dead Rising 3, then we are talking about an established franchise.
Either way, the news isn't as big as DMC no longer being just on the Playstation.
J-Rzez said:
Ok...I see what you were talking about now...I think the point that people are trying to make is that Sony needs exclusives now to justify the price. If this goes on to long it will be too late as devs arent gonna all of a sudden go back to exclusivity with Sony unless the deem it worthwhile. 360 will be picking up steam this year but it still is unsure that the PS3 will. DMC4 was one of those games I was going to purchase a PS3 for VF4 was another. I'm sure for others this may be the same case as well and it doesnt look good. Im sure original IPs will be released but they need to gain consumers with some known products first.

Capcom are just being clever bunnies, hedging their bets in a way, ensuring max. profits like any business worth their salt.
Whatever the PS3 does in the USA and Europe, it appears that the 360 is all but dead in Japan, which just compounds the idea that Japan is very self-centric when it comes to the video games industry, which is understandable in a way since a lot of the big names originate there.
Given that the 360 has had such a head start of the PS3, it already has a strong, established userbase, outside Japan, and an excellent online system - software companies should want to take advantage of that, so kudos to Capcom for being one of the few, if not the most, prominent, Japanese software firms to take advantage of this, with new IP's.
They reaped the rewards with Dead Rising and Lost Planet which have been successful and even system sellers, so I think other Japanese software companies should be, and hopefully are, taking note, that there is a market outside of Japan, and it isn't necessarily a secondary market.
A lot of Japanese companies could be accused of sitting on their ass and pumping out sequel after sequel of proven IP's (Capcom more than anyone), and I think this gen. might be a bit of a wake-up call to them that they have to look outside their comfort zone to thrive in such a fluid and fickle market.
It looks like Sega are taking note with their recent multi-platform big name titles, and as for Capcom, I fully expect the sequels to Dead Rising and Lost Planet to be multi-format too, and I can't see anything but good things coming out of that.

This is my translation:
I equate the Playstation 3 to being nothing but a fax machine, which has become quite useless in and of itself since the invention of electronic mail processed over the internet; God of War 2 is a masterpiece of modern game design, but I will not be purchasing a Playstation 3 to play God of War 3 because that is the only exclusive game that will ever come out on the Sony Playstation 3.
I think it may have lost its d'une personne in translation.

If PS3 sales take off (they are bound to at some point, at least in Europe) and publishers like Capcom start to have bona fide smash hits that are released for both platforms, we could see an interesting dynamic emerge. We could see an environment where the Capcoms can release some huge budget titles at a profit, titles that are so expensive that the first parties simply cannot match them unless they are willing to lose money on a hot game just to make their platform attractive.
Potentially there is Return on Investment (and cost recovery) to be made in the third party space that the first parties cannot match.

No. That is desilusional. The average Playstation buyer has usually bought the console due to third party titles: Final fantasy, metal gear, devil may cry, GTA... heck, the public associated these titles so strongly with Playstation that I have seen casuals claiming that these games are made by Sony itself. While I loved Ico and God of War, Sony first party is miles beyond Microsoft's offerings, not to mention Nintendo's.

GT has been a big hardware pusher since it first hit the market. one can only imagine that will continue with gt5. although i feel like the franchise has lost a bit of its luster, it is definitely the most underestimated first party title in gaming today.
meltpotato said:
GT is currently the most powerful weapon in Sony's arsenal at the moment, but the barrier to entry is still damn high. Not to mention, GT4 sold much much less than GT3.
Also, I've said this a thousand times, but Sony's First party offerings work best as supplements, not as the pillars that support the Playstation.

Oblivion said:
i'm just really worried that they are going to send GT5 to die with microtransactions. i over-reacted and pretty much lost it when they were first making mention of all those microtransaction schemes for it. to me, it is the only title i see in their line-up as a bonafide hardware mover. there are a lot of people who will buy hardware simply based on the best AAA racer out there.

The next gen fight is looking like 360 vs Wii more and more everyday. Sony has stumbled against Microsoft so far.

Capcom (a) has two of the marquee titles on the 360 currently & (b) has more next gen content on the 360 than the ps3. so if the announcement actually turns a few more buyers toward the 360 as opposed to the ps3, then it is actually a good thing for them.

I think Capcom saw the opportunity to fill a large hole in the 360 lineup. For 2007, the 360 has tons of shooters (of course), racing games, RPGs both Western and Eastern, strategy games, and they have the fighting genre covered with VF5. But the only 3rd person action/adventure title of note was Too Human and maybe Kingdom Under Fire (though I thought this was more of an RPG?).
I'm a 360 owner, and I've been craving a good 3rd person action/adventure title. I'll buy this on day 1.

This shouldn't be surprising news to anyone. Capcom has had some tremendous recent success on the 360 and putting DMC4 on as many platforms as possible makes them winnar.
It's not like DMC was that high of a selling game.
Only game I would stop being a "sony fanboy" for is Final Fantasy (you know, the actual games, not the spin-offs). Wake me up when that happens and I'll care.
Hey, is there a point to where the Sony hate is so much that it becomes cool to like Sony and we can start discussing the positives again? Wake me up when that happens too.

Last year, one of the biggest Xbox 360 games was released. This game was The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. It sold over a million copies, and garnered much critical acclaim.
Just now, PS3 owners are discovering it for themselves.
At the end of this year, Capcom will release a game which was touted by Sony as definitive proof that they still had the games everyone wants to play. Grand Theft Auto. Final Fantasy. Metal Gear Solid. Devil May Cry. They wanted everyone to know that these franchises were Playstation-bound once again.
Now, one of them is heading to the Xbox 360 at the same time. It's not even a timed PS3 exclusive. This is a pretty big deal, that the premier action game franchise of our time is exclusive no more.
Square-Enix might not see the incentive to make Final Fantasy XIII multiplatform because by the time that game gets released, the PS3 should have a decent userbase.
