Oblivion, as well as any further Elder Scrolls titles, is 360 exclusive and it's well worth it.

Or...maybe not. Well, they are, still, from what I've heard, but the exclusivity is limited in time (much like GTA was before this upcoming release).

Looks like Oblivion is going to be a launch, or shortly after launch, title for the PS3.

Yeah.. I've seen the PS3 screen shots.

Not much better than the 360s either...

Probably because it's almost a straight conversion.

I just like making the PS3 look bad 

But yeah you're right.

Almost, but not quite.

The graphics engine has been tweaked a bit so the line between closer landscape textures, and the far off landscape textures, is a bit less pronounced.  They've basically done some blending, etc.  Also, from what I've read, the draw-in on the foiliage, etc, is not quite as "poppy" and dramatic.

AND it comes with an entirely new quest line, sort of the opposite of the Dark Brotherhood quest line, to, essentially, become a Knight/Paladin.  Knight of the Nines, or something like that.

Will it better come with some internet mods.

Still being worked out.  Bethesda wants to, but, from what they're saying, the Sony Network implementation might not make it easy to do.  Bethesda was unwilling to commit to it actually happening but were hopeful they could work something out with Sony.

I dont feel the PS3 justifies spending 600+ dollors on a system. The first party titles such as FF or MSG dont wet my appetite enough to fork over that kind of cash. Plus you never know about MSG, it might show up on 360 eventually. With GTA 4 allready confirmed to be out for 360 and with almost every other 3rd party game announced for the PS3 also confirmed to come out on 360, I will stick with that, though the Wii does look interesting.

Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid are actually 3ed party games, they're just exclusive to PS.

If the Playstation 3 doesn't get off the ground with a running start that could change however.  Square has already been talking about moving some of their bigger franchises (Mana and Dragon Quest) to the Wii.  Whether that's going to happen or not is yet to be seen, but Square is already supporting Nintendo way more than years past (espechally on the Nintendo DS!).

Dragon Quest is already in production for the Wii, although with that Wii controler, it's hard to know what to expect.

You know what I meant.

Square games have been going down hill since SNES, well really almost all RPGS have. Its shame really that you can't play RPGS as good as they were in the old days. Better graphics dont change the fact the story sucks.

I take it your not a FF fan.

Some of the very early final fantasy games were ok, and i kinda got into, but anything on ps1, or ps2 and that inlcudes both final fantasy 7 and 10, i thought those sucked. I couldnt get into the story, and just thought it was not a very fun game to play. Dont even get me started on the gamecube one, can you say crap, that was one of the worst games ever made. The series on a whole i am not hugely impressed with, and i can definetly see i am in the minority.

Another square game that pissed me off was Xenosaga, i belive that was square, and It sucked the big one. I played that game for 12 hours straight, and felt like i was watching an anime that went waaaaay too long. You barely got to play the game and the story was much like a horrible anime. Needless to say i returned it to EB the very next day after i bought it.

I am a fan of rpgs, and I listed a pretty big list of rpgs i like in the rpg thread.?

[AtariLegend]

I agree about FF CC on the gamecube, but FFX was a great game, and FF7 was playstations Zelda.

This is the SHIT.

I kinda agree with the dude... only I liked some of the PS1 FF's. Even then though, I would rather play Dragon Warrior 7 than Final Fantasy XII

I like dungeon grinding..

It's pretty.  So were the Killzone 2 vids and stills, though.  Is it real "gameplay" footage or is it the pre-rendered intro footage?

My problem with GT HD is that, reportedly, most of the unlockables (about 75%) are going to have to be PURCHASED, with realy $$, on Sony's microtransaction network.  That sucks, if it's true.

Sony Drops GT HD for Now. News courtesy of ps3.ign.com


November 30, 2006 - Sony and Polyphony Digital's experiment in download-based gaming has come to an early end. Sony announced today that it has cancelled the retail release of Gran Turismo HD in favor of a full-fledged Gran Turismo 5 product.

Gran Turismo HD was originally set for Japanese release later this month. Sony was planning to release the title at low cost, but with minimal gameplay content included from the start. Players would have to download cars and tracks through micro transactions.

A version of Gran Turismo HD will still be released exclusively in download form through the PlayStation store. Titled Gran Turismo HD Concept, this free download will be available through the Japanese store on 12/24. A date for the US store debut has not been announced.

This will be just the first of multiple "Concept" downloads. While specifics on the content to be included in the downloads were not announced today, producer Kazunori Yamauchi did provide some hints at a message posted on the official Gran Turismo site. According to Yamauchi, the download available on Christmas Eve will give a first look at the high definition graphics provided by the PlayStation 3. The next Concept download will include Polyphony's next generation driving engine.

As for the online racing that was being promised for Gran Turismo HD, Yamauchi says that this will be included in the final Gran Turismo 5 product. Many of the other elements that were planned for GT HD will also make it into GT5, according to Yamauchi. A release date for this true next generation Gran Turismo has yet to be finalized.

Polyphony seems to have quite a bit in the works for GT5. The Gran Turismo official site lists the genre for Gran Turismo HD Concept as "Real Driving Simulator," the same genre that's been used for the series since the original PlayStation version. For Gran Turismo 5, the genre is listed as "Online Car Life Simulator."




My take on the graphics is both GT titles on PS2 were some of best games graphically on the system so I belive the game will look damn good and if history repeats itself it will be one of best games graphically.?

[mrlee]

i hate how they make you pay for additional things now. takes the point out of gaming for me.

[pilferk]

That's good news.  Glad they ditched the microtransaction idea...it sucked.

This MIGHT (depending) be the game that starts to convince me that I may,someday, want a PS3.  We'll see.  I love the GT series, but the GT HD concept stuck in my craw....
