Amir0x, you can't really be this dumb. I know you're not.
A word of advice before we get into this little trist: you're not clever. Saying "YOU CAN'T BE THIS DUMB, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT" is not humorous, nor does it paint your opponent in a stupid light. It just looks like you wasted your time.

You can't POSSIBLY think that PS3 and Rev won't have online services almost as good/as good/better than the original Xbox Live. And we already know Rev will be free, and PS3 will MOST LIKELY be free. Give me a break.
Can't possibly think that? Well, for one, Microsoft has been building this service for almost an entire console generation. For another, Sony has showed almost no indication of trying to match this service. Indeed, in various interviews it half sounded like they hadn't even
decided on what to do yet. Instill confidence? Yeah. Right. And Nintendo hasn't even fucking done TRUE console online internet. Who knows how stable it'll be, how fully featured it'll end up. And I swear to God if you try to list those bullshit SNES/Nintendo peripherals you're banned from this discussion.
All we know is that XBL is, without a doubt, the
DEFINITIVE online service. There is nothing on any console that comes close, nothing that is as stable, nothing that is as fully featured. And next-gen XBL service is even MORE insane. To match it by providing a stable infrastructure and similar feature set in not even a quarter of the time it took Microsoft will not only be unbelievable, but extremely surprising. Because PS3/Rev service would presumably (and in the case of Rev, definitely) be FREE. And whether or not those poor, poor starving individuals who can't afford LIVE want to admit it or not, MONEY makes the world go round. And stable. And awesome.
Zeo said:
Um, again, wrong. But you seem to be good at that.
A) I never said XBL wasn't the superior online service. It is. .. This gen. But we're not talking about this gen, oh smart one. Just because XBL is better than PS2's online service doesn't mean PS3's online service won't be as good as this gen's XBL: and that's as good as it needs to be, really. Instead of mostly silly (and some great) additions to the next gen Xbox Live.
Hahahaha. "oh smart one"
Ok, so first...let's approach this logically. You deemed the new additions to XBL "mostly silly". And then you admit that some of the new XBL features are great? Ok, so some are silly, some are great. So already we can at least agree that XBL is improving in some fashion. Do you agree that Microsoft - who has PLENTY of experience in the online arena before even XBox - took almost a full gen building up XBL and developing features? If so, then do you not also agree that this is not something that occurs overnight, and that it takes lots of money to build the type of stable, universal infrastructure that they developed? If so, then you too are disheartened that Sony has deemed it almost unnecessary to mention anything about their "PLAYSTATION WORLD." If it's a huge feature which they have invested in, do you not think it would have been smart to indicate to the world that it's coming in this major form?
But, speculation. Nintendo is going to have to do a lot of proving in the internet world before we even discuss how "close" it gets to the XBL service.
Zeo said:
And I'm using logic and past experience to gather what RE5 online features would be. You know how on ALMOST EVERY PS2/Xbox game that is online, the online features are almost exactly the same?
Uh, no. There are PLENTY of XB/PS2 online games that have features unique to the XBL version. Where the fuck have you been? Not only that, but logic doesn't dictate how RE5 is going to operate online, or what features it would include. Because no "main" game in the series has really had it before! We're not talkin' about those shitty side RE games, now.
Zeo said:
You can't possibly tell me there will be some huge difference in an HYPOTHETICAL online play put into RE5, between PS3 and Xbox 360. The chance is incredibly slim (especially if they release at the same time).
It's 50/50, in fact. Especially if Microsoft continues to develop the features of its online service. Because then there will be things the PS3 service simply will be unable to provide, such as expansive friend lists that allow you to be messaged even during gameplay.
Zeo said:
And yes, of course I'm talking about the HYPOTHETICAL Rev version. I'm saying IF there is one, it will almost positively have the same online features, if there are any at all. There's NO reason for there not to be.
Plenty of reasons.
Zeo said:
Wow, you can't really be this stupid. Are you telling me you don't think it's possible for PS3/Rev to have something LIKE Xbox Live Aware? Unbelievable.
Haha, again with the "you can't really be _____." You're on the ball today, aren't ya? Do I not think it's possible? Of course it's
possible. Lots of things are possible. Is it PROBABLE that they will be able to match what Microsoft has by the time RE5 is out? No, I do not believe it is probable AT ALL.
