The 360 version you could make a sandwich in between zones, the PS3 dramatically fixes that huge problem, if thats not all around better I don't know what is. Also if you tihnk Sony was the first company to every slap all its customers in the face with bullshit they don't need then you might wanna not go outside. Companies do this all the time, its a part of life, I just got used too it besides if companies didn't force us to try new things we might not have a lot of things in todays world.

PS. Yea I know the PS3 isn't world changing BUT IT MIGHT CURE CANCER ONE DAY LOLPS3 :D

[Exoduso]

Yeah the 360 version is ridiculous when it comes to loading times... they're fine until you get further into the game, and your cache builds up... and even then, if you actually take the time to clear it it will still be kind of laggy...supposedly this has been fixed on the PS3 version, so you don't have to watch TV in-between zones.

360 on the left, PS3 on the right... PS3 wins lol. (too bad it'll be a while before the expansion comes to the PS3, though...)

I started playing games on the NES; either of those is more than good enough IMO. As for the load times on the 360 Oblivion, well, they're long. At times very long, and that, besides a general feeling of "wtf should I do next" is my only real gripe with the game. Are the load times as bad on the PC version?

[Mysterio]

Are the load times as bad on the PC version?

obviously depends on your PC.

PC will always be the pinnacle of graphical technology, provided you always have the highest end system on the market.

By the time most of us are even remotely through all the content of the original Oblivion, the shivering isles will have made its way to the Sony online store.

There are lots of graphical settings for Oblivion, I noticed the grass draw-in distance has been completely removed for that comparison screenshot. It seriously lags my PC when playing. I wonder if all the elaborate graphical settings are carried over to the 360 and PS3 version?

Anyone have it for both PC and 360 to comment on that?

I only have it for PC, and my PC is rather sucky.. 2.6 pentium 4, 512 ram, 128 meg radeon 9600 vid card.

So I was looking at at least 600-800 dollars of upgrades to play Oblivion at the graphical level of the PS3 version. So needless to say I spent that money on a ps3, lol.

Good thing I played Oblivion on the 360 a year ago and replaying it now with mods on the PC.

DMC4 is officially coming to the 360 lol.

Blah now I will have to buy a 360 but hopefully it'll have multiplayer like the DMC4 team said their working on..

[Mysterio]

Thats a shame, I guess Capcom was pretty desperate for sales.

I'm sure they'll sell the same amount of copies for the PS3 regardless if its now a port. It's just a shame they killed alot of potential simply to try to make more money. I'm sure it'll be good regardless.

Guess Sony isn't too worried about that action game exclusive now that God of War has picked up such popularity and critical acclaim. Then again who knows.

[CaptainN]

We already knew this was going to happen if I remember correctly at like E3 or some gaming convention the DMC 4 demo they showed was on a 360.

[Stilgar]

Thats a shame, I guess Capcom was a company in the business of profit.

fixed.

[CaptainN]

We all know that profit is the main game but why do exclusives even exist? You will always make more money with multi-platform games due to the fact your not bottle necking your audience but whatever, shame every time the PS3 gets some good news it gets pissed away. The PS3 seems to be more hated then the war in Iraq.

[Stilgar]

exclusives exist because companies pay for them, lol.

That or the dev doesn't give a shit about the game anymore and/or is busy with new projects.

[CaptainN]

It seems the only thing that will save Sony now is first party development, cause it seems the 3rd party isn't giving them any love. But I like Sony first party development so I'm stuck with having to get a PS3 sooner or later anyway.

I guess Sony may have taken exclusives for granted in the past.

It was merely an afterthought releasing their games on xbox and gamecube when PS2 had literally an 80 million console sales lead to generate crazy sales.

[Kenai]

Mmmm...they've taken a lot more for granted than just exclusives. Not having the best selection of 3rd pt titles is one thing, but while I'm not a huge fan of the franchise, I know that game definitely would have sold a chunk of PS3a (providing it didn't have the effect of 2). At least FF13 is secure, and probably MGS. They need to bring out a lot more before that time though.

[Exoduso]

If Heavenly Sword and Lair won't fail, they will push PS3 sales up by quite a bit (I believe they're being released in June or so?)

[Kenai]

Summer I thought. Heavenly Sword was due out for July last I saw anyway, Lair was sooner than that I think, but I haven't gone out of my way to keep track. They do look nice, but I wanna see the reviews. I'm not quite sure if they'd get pushed up "quite a bit" (unless they are near perfect games that start their own franchises, and even then it's iffy), but a good game or two sure isn't gonna hurt anything.

lolcompatibility list has been released for the Euro PS3, definitely some notable games missing:

And here is an article saying that this is probably the last list that will come out, since they are focused on "Applications and Services for PS3".
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3158104

The good news is PS3 1.6 firmware came out today allowing the user to do other things on the system while downloading (finally). Still, I don't think that outweighs losing DMC4 as an exclusive, AND not having MGS2, Jak and Daxter or Ratchet and Clank playable on PS3.

[Pro]

Too bad that by "Today" you mean this coming Thursday...was hoping it was today tho ; ;

[Exoduso]

Bleh, I got excited too heh.

[BRP]

PS3 will still have the best version of each game that comes out for it and the Xbox360.
