Quit your fanboy whining!

We’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.

    Nice but too bad the PS3 sucks what i have to update mine at least once a week which puts me out an hour of play and then i realise Xbox 360 is getting all the better exclusives such as Rock Band (in Europe) so i brought an Elite and lemme tell ya its better for sure.

    Thinking about buying a PS3? dont get a 360

    Rock band is being boycotted by a lot of gamers incidentally because of an unjustifiable price tag. See how you feel about the PS3 by the end of 2008, because a console is only as good as the games you can play on it.
