QUOTE(Hisyam91 @ Jun 20 2009, 08:51 PM) Fair enough i missed that , but then he also says this QUOTE It is not a very subtle hint, although Mr Kotick says his company paid $500 million to Sony in royalties and other goods last year, which “probably still worked out at 400 per cent of the profit they made”. Actually, Sony's games division lost $597 million last year, and Mr Kotick seems to think it may have to risk more losses if the £299.99 PlayStation 3 is to develop.
They have to cut the price, because if they don't, the attach rates [the number of games each console owner buys] are likely to slow. If we are being realistic, we might have to stop supporting Sony.” Ask when and he says: “When we look at 2010 and 2011, we might want to consider if we support the console — and the PSP [portable] too.” Sounds like Sir Howard Stringer, Sony's chief executive, is going to have to call Mr Kotick pretty fast. Which is basically saying , Sony should cut the price or else attach rates will drop . I still think Activision's statement is an empty threat . IIRC its posted on neogaf that 40% of Activision's income comes from Sony platforms . This post has been edited by Sey: Jun 20 2009, 08:59 PM

QUOTE(Sey @ Jun 20 2009, 08:24 PM) There are quite a few articles and forum topics around the net on how the 360 version of Ghostbusters is superior to the PS3 version . I am a consumer , when i fork out my $$ i expect my product to be something of quality and not something made while the developer is high on booze and picking his nose. If they can't do a decent job at it , then why sell their product at all? http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/busi...icle6531367.ece I don't see anything about performance on the PS3 or being hard to code for , or any development difficulties being stated by the Activision boss. All he is stating is the PS3 is expensive , and Sony needs to cut the price or else their attach rate will drop . Personally i do agree with him . Did you even read the article before bringing it up in your post ? this thread was started before activision came out to say something. i was making a point about sony losing support from developer and it shows in their games. Anyone here can disagree with my opinions but that doesn't give you the right to accuse me of trolling. This post has been edited by lightning69: Jun 20 2009, 09:42 PM

Xbox 360 clearly had advantages on most multiplatform games so far before PC pwnd it all.  No doubt about it. However the different was too small unless you guys had picky eyes. Aside Tomb Raider Underworld, another game I notice after looking closely until my eyes bleed had favor PS3 is Burnout Paradise. We should thanks some company like Square-Enix & CAPCOM for working hard to make their games like Final Fantasy XIII, Devil May Cry 4 & Resident Evil 4 equal on both platform. At least they tried although not 100% perfect. Terminal Reality (Ghostbusters) is a bunch lazy dev. This post has been edited by x_barrage: Jun 24 2009, 02:05 PM

Everyone knows that some games looks better on the PS3 and some games look better on 360. But is general, most game perform better on the 360....and this is what this thread is about. And if this kind of issue cannot be discuss, then just leave and don't post anything.

QUOTE(snipersnake @ Jun 21 2009, 09:47 AM) GT5's release date ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!So in October we will be busy racing in PSP, and in November we will be revving our racers in our Playstation 3! Lets hope no more delays guys. Personally I am confident with this date. Thats because Yamauchi stated in last E3 then can even release it now but they are busy touching up the game.  A good time to consider PSP GO! I know I am. This post has been edited by snipersnake: Jun 21 2009, 10:58 AM

GT is one of the best racing games ever. I hope this one will turn out great after all this years of programming time they put into it.

it sshould. there are no excuses for PD. But, since GT to GT4, they never let us down. Oh ya, one thing during GT4. They said it was online enabled, even some videos of GT4 going online in BETA surfaced, but they pulled the thing in the last minute

GTA4 PS3 also had freezing issue. There is no perfect console in the world.
Rather talking about PS3 exclusive GT5, we shall wait Need for Speed: Shift which is multiplatform suitable for this topic. EA is talking big about this title will pwnd Forza 3 & I consider GT5 too. We’ll see whether it will living up the hype.

the engine that those people use is the same engine they use on their pc sim driving sim. I am skeptical, but lets wait and see.

EA always talk big but deliver small. Their NFS series have been downhill so far. The only one I keep coming back so far is Burnout which I think is much more fun then GT series.
