Quit your fanboy whining!
Sunday, April 6th, 2008We’re going to see great things from the PS3. I recently had the pleasure of playing Silent Hill: Origins on the PSP. Since SH:O’s release, Climax Group has been inundated with requests to make licensed PSP games, because they do it properly and consequently make loads of money doing it. As an industry it has taken us just too long to get games of that calibre on what is, essentially, a powerful large-screened mobile games device.
Why? Because you haven’t tried. Shame on you developers, not actually putting in the effort to get such awesome lighting effects, shame on you for just churning out the cheap and tacky ports that characterise the vast majority of the PSP market instead of designing from the ground up for it. This is why we’re going to see some good things from the PS3. When games developers stop making games for the PS3 based on the X360’s specs (go on, you know you do, don’t lie to me) and start making proper PS3 exclusives we’ll see some great stuff. Look at Konami’s Metal Gear Solid 4 and Free Radical’s Haze. Both are PS3 exclusives, both look like absolutely awesome gaming experiences.
So quit your fanboy whining and realise that we’re about to see some great stuff, and all of it PS3.
