Will Xbox owners buy a PS3 for Killzone

[ManBarrel]

Short answer - no

Long answer - nooo

I bought a Wii for SSBB, and now I want my money (And dignity) back.

But I already own a PS3, so I'll be playing Killzone 2 anyways. But no, a single game will never sell a console to me. (Again.. Damn you straight to hell Nintendo)

 

[kommando367]

no, but i will buy a PS3 for god of war 3

If you are casual(either hard or soft) you don;t need more than 1 but as a real gamer there are maybe at best 4 or so games on each system worth owning, thus in order to have all the worth while games you have to buy all the systems.

If you don't care or don't have the money your stuck with marginalized quality. It was not as bad last gen when the industry made games geared to enthusiasts(what was once called the hard core gamer), now adays its all casual focused either to the lite/non gamer of the brain dead hardcore game consumer....

That reeks of No True Scotsman.

So quality has never been better and prices nothing for the quality you get on a game to game basis...... ballocks.... quality is down,shine and cost is up and the consumer never more woolly.

Killzone 2 just looks a like another crappy FPS for the ps3 they should have learnt by now that the 360 just does shooters better.

No game justifies buying a console just for it in my opinion...

I bought an N64 to play GoldenEye.

Right now, God of War III is tugging at me, but until I see that price go a little further down I'm not touching that overpriced monster.

Hopefully, there'll be price drop before GOWIII comes out.

Much more likely for a Team Ico game.

That's when SONY will move some units.

I am a ps3 owner, and if the same thing happened the other way around with the xbox, i would just buy the game even if i dont own the console to play it, and just go to a friend that has that console, and play it at his house..

If the Core system's cheap enough (prob <£100) when Alan Wake comes out, I'll be the proud owner of both consoles.

This is a question for Xbox 360 owners. Is Killzone 2 enough to get you to buy a PS3?

I have a PS3 and I know the answer to this question. A lot Xbox owners have been labelling KZ2 as being between average and rubbish. In truth, having played the demo, I think it's average to good shooter which I'm not going to buy (not my kind of shooter). To make an owner of a current system buy another machine it would have to be a great game not an average to good game.

So to be a real gamer, I have to invest like 800 dollars and buy a Wii and PS3? In that case no thanks, I'd rather be a fake, soft-core gamer.

That reeks of No True Scotsman.

No no it just means you are a consumer like any other.

all that money for one game? dont think so

 

[JaguarWong]

I completed the set of current consoles when I got a PS3 for Christmas...
The disc drive has been sitting empty waiting for SFIV since I finished Uncharted. (Which, FYI, is not as good as Tomb Raider: Underworld)

Thank god for Stardust, Echochrome and Everyday Shooter.

That's a no, by the way. I won't be buying Grey FPS no.769... and I already have the PS3.

 

[Kamelmann]

I would but for one.. the price.. >__>

Considering sonys CEO said they dont want to do a price drop this year at all (due to value of hardware on it apparantly making it a bargin atm [oh and still losing 50 dollars US per console sold])I guess I'll just have to wait a year or so.. or play it round a friends..

Plus a looot of people I know would have to get one too.. i'm a social player who feeds off of my teammates to sustain me.. ;__;

Meh if I want to play Generic Si-fi Shooter Ill save myself the £300+ to buy a PS3 to do it.

Seen as I a huge MGS fan and MGS4 didnt do it for me this sure as hell wont. The console isnt worth £300 to me, and no before I get told how its great value because its a Blu-Ray player I couldn't give a flying fuck about the soon to be obsolete blu-ray format.

I want a PS3 always have probably always will, well until the PS4 I guess, in fact I went to th shop with the money in hand to buy one, instead I got an xbox with 5 games, and a huge secondhand supply, for the same price as a PS3 with 1 and, in my area at least, poor second hand supply. At the moment the PS3 offers me very poor value for money, the only way I'll be convinced otherwise is a £100 price drop.

 

[Archaon6044]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

even if i gave damn, i couldn't afford it anyway. i'm a student, i barely have enough money to have a meal every day of the week!

 

[mhitman]

doubt it, but it does look good

Non Sequitur. I called your comment about how real gamers must own all systems because they don't find more than 4 games on each a No True Scotsman argument because you define your category by how closely a person obeys your claim. The common definition of a gamer is one who plays games. A real gamer is one who really plays games. You can't tell me everybody who plays games only sees 4 good games on each console, if that were the case we wouldn't see tie-in ratios of 6-8.

I only do gaming because of cod 4. I played it on the PS3 first but bought the xbox because its so much cheaper. I obviously have other games now which are alright(fallout 3, gears etc) but the fact remains no cod 4 no gaming for me. Now, Killzone 2 does looks like my cup of tea and with cod 5 being so pony im starting to wander if i bought the right console. Ill probably hang on for Operation flashpoint 2 but i wont lie im tempted.
