ps3 what i feel

i have been playing motostorm since friday and it has got me hooked and things that i can say about it are that its when you turn the motion control on it plays a lot like excite truck but look even more fantastic. the only problem that i have and it is with the ps3 not just the game is that after playing the wii for mounths and now owning a ps3 i think that the motion in the pads are not as prosise as on the wii and the wate of them it feels like i got f**k all in my hand. the web browser is a lot like that of the psp wich is ok but i think that it could be alot better. the size of the console its self is well i dont think you can lose it and would not like to drop it on my feet but hay the xbox 1 was like that so how cares. one thing that i can say about it is that you can see that it has been desined for people how have abit of money in there bake pocket because it reminds me of band and olufsen but that might just be me. i think its well worth £399.99 when a br player cost up from £350

I Played the PS3 for the 1st time on Saturday a friend of mine had bought 1 with Virtua Fighter & Motor Storm, im not a big fan of the PS3 but I was expecting to leave his thinking....Damn you Sony u've done it again!!, but I can quite happily say I was shocked @ how bad it was, 1st the Controller, I've read about how it feels light & cheap but WOW, it's almost non existent!!, which is a shame because this really ruins your gaming experience, the controller is the main thing (besides your eyes & ears) that connects u to the game, & with no rumble I didn't feel any emersion to motorstorm, which is a game that is crying!! out for rumble, it would of made up for at least 20% of the gaming experience, like in Gran truismo on PS2 feeling those little bit of rumble telling you your driving surface is changing, its essential!. & Virua Fighter looked very under par for a game that should look amazing it really lacks any wow factor, the characters suffer from the same waxy shinny skin as in Perfect dark zero, & with no online gaming, for me, its dead in the water.
So I'm very glad that I saved my 400 quid, I would like the Blu-ray player but having a 360 I'd rather hedge my bets on just getting the 100 quid HD-dvd player for now. I'm sure in a year the PS3 will be a great console but for now it's really struggling, big time & it doesn't even come close to having the innovation, games or online functions of its competitors (Wii /360).

Good luck Sony......ur gonna need it.

I'm surprised you didn't enjoy Motorstorm, just about everybody here who has tried it has loved it. I didn't feel that rumble would have added too much to the game, basically because it would be going off all the time. All of the tracks are bumpy, so it'd only not be rumbling when you were in the air.

I've not played VF5 much, I'm not a beat-em-up fan, but what I played seemed smooth enough.

Anyway, horses for courses, I'm sure games will pick up, I don't remember either the PS2 or 360 having excellent launch games. In fact the only launch game I enjoyed on PS2 was Fantavision.

Yer Motor storm is a good game, but after playing it 4 1 eveninig, i was kinda done?... i mean Pgr3 is an old 360 game now, but i still find new game play modes & challenges to get into. Unless they included plenty of downloadble content & modes for this game, i cant see many people playing it in a few months. & Rumble would of sooo rocked (or ...rumbled) on that game!, dont worry u can say that Tyrion....i wont tell Sony. haha

to true the only 360 game that can out on lauch that i feel that was worth getting was pgr3 but even that i profer pgr2

the ps3 lanch games ok so a lot of them you can get on the 360 and they only look as good as the 360 vertions but the ps3 is new if you remenber 360 games that came out on laruch dont look as good as now just think for ps3 games in a year or two

the controler for the ps3 is a bit light but after a bit of playing you donot even notise it and i dont care about the fack that it has no rumbel it would not work on motostorm and grand troismo the only proper way to play it is geting your self a logitek weel

And this is where you lose all credibility. Where you watching this on a 14" black and white TV. This game looks absolutely stunning running at 1080i. I'd seen videos of VF5 running in SD def off the internet thinking meh! In the flesh it's one of the most beautiful looking games I've ever seen.

No i was playing it on a 46" sony flat screen running @ 1080p, it looked ok but i was expecting it to rock me, it might of been the stage we where on or the characters we used but i wasn't blown away by it. Come on its not that amazing i was expecting the players to look real with flowing hair & textures of skin that look photographic, but it just looks plastic. The game play is still good solid VF, but how can u have a "Versus" game with no online!?....sucks.

That's cool Rutabaga, looking sweet and actually playing to capture your heart are too different things. Any game can look good, but if its doesn't offering much in terms of play, what's the point?

Virtua Fighter has always trailed behind Tekken anyway. The reason I think this happens is because, for some reason, the characters in sega fighting games have no character at all. Everytime I've played a Sega fighting game, they are well designed but lack x factor in a big way. Sega need to turn give Virtua Fighter some kind of storyline, to make us give a damn about who we are knocking nine bells out of. Without that, VF series will always trail behind Tekken and Dead or Alive, both which give something unique to the genre.

Namco have it. Those cut scenes in the series aren't there just for show.

VF5 (and Virtua Tennis 3) on PS3 not online, damn Sega you've got a lot to learn. Namco and Tecmo must be laughing at you.

Not played PS3 yet, but I'm in no rush. My mates dad purchased one but nothing I really wanna play on it right now.

What game would you describe that looks graphically good then, if VF5 looks "ok"?

I wasn't referring to the gameplay of the game (I've always preferred the immediacy of Tekken over VF) I was reffering to Hollywooda's "review" that Virtua Fighter looked "under par" which I think is an absurd statement.

I just think if games like GRAW, Gears of War & Resistance can have models & characters that have as much details & quality of texturing as VF's fighters in their massive environments they are in with more than 2 character models & other things going on, I thought VF5 in a 1 built static environment with only to modelled characters they could really push the level of detail & realism in a model & environment. Just didn't blow me away not a huge leap from Dead or alive on the 360, (which I don't like the look of either), if EA can get boxers to look photographic & act so real, sweating bruising in Icon & Fight night, why can Virtua Fighter really make it look next gen (I hate that saying by the way) I was expecting to see something special, in my eyes it's not, just a polished version of the old game.... & by the looks of there skin, a little too over polished! haha

But I don't think those games do look as good as VF5, I take your point that those games are "doing more stuff" but you were on about graphics, not whats going on behind the scenes. And as a spectacle VF5's backgrounds and fluidity of movement are exceptional.

I'm not saying its crap i just expected something more from all the noise i was hearing about it. I like the way it plays & when it comes to the 360 with rumble & online, i might pick it up.....sorry had 2 get that 1 in hahaha.....

So for a game that you said looked under par and was dead in the water, you may buy it for 360 when it comes out, because of Rumble and Online!.......OK. Going back to your initial post, you were not a fan of PS3 even though you had never played it.......OK. And you where happily shocked @ how bad it was.......OK. What did your mate make of your blinkered one sided, burying your head in the sand attitude?

I said I thought it was dead in the water for me on the PS3 because it doesn't have online compatibility, I don't see the point in a versus game u cant play with other people?... When I said I wasn't a fan of the PS3, I meant the way Sony have turned the Playstation into a donkey in which to ride there new format blu-ray on, I've own PS1 & 2 & loved them very much, that's when sony where concentrating on making games console, (anyway another argument for another time), the very under Par comment is harsh, I might of gone a bit too far there but I really had heard so much noise about this game looking out of this world!. I take that back.
My Mate owns a 360 & bought the PS3 for his birthday, he wasn't blown away with it & right know feels his 360 is in a different league. BUT, he see's the PS3 as an investment that will pay out, as I'm sure do a lot of PS3 owners, Hell I'll probably own one one day, when there's been a nice price cut, & blu-ray is the decided format & there are some games I can buy for it that I cant buy for my 360 & they put rumble in there pads & sort out the online gaming side.......blahh blahh blahh... haha. Look the skinny of it is I was genuinely shocked @ the PS3's lack of any real bang!, but days are early & time will tell.

the rumble thing was just a jokey little dig.... ......but you want it right....yer
