PSP will too.

Like I’ve said before, PS is a system that encourages numerous single player experiences. On the flip side, we have X-box. Their friggin’ catch line is “It’s Fun to Play Together”. Or is that another system? I forget.

The future is online gaming. Microsoft realizes it. PS is a day late and a buck short. What about Socom, you say? Lag, mod and cheat city. The price you pay for free online play.

I find it surprising that most of the major 360 games lined up aren’t multiplayer. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Frame City Killer, The Godfather and Gears of War are all single player exclusive.

I love PS, don’t get me wrong. They brought me some of my favorite series. Final Fantasy, Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid. And don’t get me started on Guitar Hero. Even with the dud that 360 turned out to be, it still has more potential to be great based solely on the fact that its online play is flawless. With the exception of Guitar Hero and the eyetoy stuff, PS has based it’s success on sequels.

I’m tired.

Re-hash is the great majority of games on all systems. PS1 borrowed heavily from Dreamcast and Nintendo 64, those systems borrowed from SNES and Genesis, those borrowed from NES and Master System, etc.

I think Xbox has a lot more innovation than people give them credit for. Granted, nothing like Guitar Hero, but look at Ninja Gaiden? You could say it’s a re-hash of Prince of Persia, but both games play completely different. How about MechAssault? Taking hardcore mech sim’s and making it into a fast paced arcade sim. Or Project Gotham Racing? Taking hardcore driving sim’s and streamlining it to an arcade sim as well. Project Gotham Racing 2 is still one of the highest played games on Live. Oddworld Strangers Wrath? Completely new game experience. Morrowind? No other RPG plays like it.

I wouldn’t call Anime RPG’s innovative. Guitar Hero, yes, hot, Eyetoy, even though I heard it stinks, yes it’s an innovation. Metal Gear Solid for PSone, yeah that innovated. Shadow of the Colussus, definately. Grand Turismo TECHNICALLY isn’t innovative since there were racing sims for the PC years beforehand. What else has PS done that truly innovated?

I think you’ll find in the upcoming generations of video games, innovation will be less and less original and less and less noticeable.

PS3 got scrapped cause of massive hardware failure. They’re stretching too hard to beat 360 and killing themselves in the process.

Metal gear solid 4 is going to be teh hotness.

While I agree with you on Sony’s online being laggy garbage, if you were trying to say that sony games are not innovative by that 48th metal gear comment, bollocks.

Microsofts FPS/Racer/Sports/Millitary re-hash is what could be called non-innovative. Metal Gear is and always has been groundbreaking. WW
