Sony Explains (Poorly) Why Only PS3 Can Do God of War III
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
Yeah, but i don't want to keep popping in a disk every other level...It could certainly be put into a PC, but the keyboard is too clunky, and i don't want it to put a strain on the PC since its well being is so delicate compared to consoles...I don't think the 360 or PC can't handle it, i just believe they weren't built for that kind of game...But Sony is indeed arrogant to suggest that its IPs can only be handled by its system. Just like Microsoft insisting Halo and Gears can only by handled by its system, its all just marketing based arrogance.Julianking93 said:
Yeah, and mirrors edge was big on showing off ITS lighting effects. I mean, ok, maybe God of War might have a brown speck on kratos chin which xbox, say, doesnt have that EXACT shade. Well go f*ck yourself, sony, the game will look the same anyway. No one notices small differences when your dismembering people.Baby Tea said:
No, its not. Because in fact, alot of people outside the internet-gaming world, who still play games, never even heard of GOW. MW2 was the biggest entertainment release in the history of...well, ever. GOW3 isnt going to be a huge thing compared to it, because you dont hear little 9 year old shits skipping around annoying their mothers for a GOW3 preorder. And other things like that...No one back in school ever heard of it, anyway...qbanknight said:let me clarify that...its going to sell as much as MW2 did on the PS3, most likely more...happy?Mcface said:
GOW isnt actually a huge thing outside the internetz.
PCs can use Blu-Ray drives as well. Most developers don't see the need to, between installations, multiple disks not being a big deal for PC users since we've had them forever and most PCs still only come with DVD drives as standard, designing PC games on Blu-Ray would cut out potential customers. Of course, this will change as time goes on and Blu-Ray becomes cheaper, eventually becoming the standard that DVDs are at the moment.mspencer82 said:
TL;DR - PCs can use Blu-Ray, developers just choose not to.

Once again Sony tries to bullshit their way through something. Don't get me wrong, I've had a lot of fun with my PS3 and I intend to carry on having fun but seriously, when are we going to get a game that really utilises all that power and leaves other systems in the dust like they once claimed?
Oh that's right, Sony loves to shit on their fans.

so...do we ignore the many accolades it received outside the gaming press like the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences 9th Annual D.I.C.E. (Design, Innovate, Create, Entertain) Awards, or do we ignore the 2.5 million copies that have been sold for each GOW game (PS2 console games of course, not the PSP bullsh!t).
Plain simple fact is this game will sell boatloads of cash, and PS3 owners get a nice little exclusive that will be unquestionably good and fun (unlike Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, and the Resistance games: they're fun but they are no stretch of the imagination GREAT games that people will keep on buying and playing)

I was disappointed by the GOW3 demo, honestly. Not only that, but the graphics did not cause me to drop my jaws in awe. It looked completely doable on the 360.

While you're correct that PC technology improves much faster given its compartmentalization, the thing about PC fans' arguments that annoys me most is there tends to be a whole lot of variety.Royas said:
By that, I mean every PC is different depending on the user's needs and budget to meet those needs. So, currently I am in a bit of a pickle because my current rig simply cannot keep up with the latest and even moderately-graphically demanding games. I have purchased a few parts for this update but when I learned I might need to replace my very motherboard, I was irked by the exorbitant prices.
Recently, I've got an Xbox 360 and the thing I appreciate most about such gaming consoles is the homogeneity- every Xbox bought is essentially the exact same package with only minor features like memory capacity or appearance variable. So you know when you buy one that you will be totally up to date with the rest of the gamer base playing 360's, rather than having to worry about which part where isn't up to speed with this latest part there.
In the meantime, my PC is collecting dust aside from the occasional homework assignment and (worth it) TF2 lagfest.
At least it's better reasoning then 'company X paid us money to make it exclusive' which is truthfully how most of them go.
Its no different than any other such claim...its usually based in fact, for example I have no doubt that the HDRL could not be done in the same fashion on the 360...I also have no doubt that had their been a desire, the game could have easily been made functional on the 360... albeit perhaps with some compromises to say...lighting, but still fully functional.
This is neither new, nor surprising, nor interesting behavior, from either Sony or Microsoft.

they sould not realy have to explain it, its coming out for the ps3 and thats that, just like mass effect is coming out for the 360. its just how things work
Yeah, of course the X360 can pull something like GOWIII. Where it could face some trouble is only when it comes to something like MGS4, mainly cause it is so big. But I have to agree with most people that Sony is full of publicity shit sometimes. If they stuck some fake reddish hair on their HQ along with a pair of fake tits, you got a great Tila Tequila impression.
Yeah I think sony just says "THIS CAN ONLY BE ON PS3" about all of their releases because nobody will be able to prove otherwise. It probably COULD be ported to the 360 but it won't be. it's a sony exclusive. They should just do what xbox does and say "we have God of fucking War. You don't," and that would probably be better.
