Yeah, None is pretty much the big reason I want to get a 360.
Doesn’t it have Shadowrun? And with the announcement of Final Fantasy on the XBOX, that adds to the appeal for you. I’m totally happy with the Wii, but it fits where I’m at right now in life. My brother digs his PS3. You’re surrounded by resources.
Resources, or nerds.
If Shadowrun was an RPG, I’d be interested. But a squad-based shooter? No thanks, I’ll live without it. As for FFXIII, that’ll be out on PS3 as well. Browsing the list of XBox 360 games at Wikipedia, the only exclusive they’ve got that I really want to play is Beautiful Katamari. On the other hand, the PS3 racks up MLB 08: The Show, Heavenly Sword, Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2. Add in Dark Cloud 3 and the Ratchett and Clank games, which are all sequels to games my wife enjoyed, and it’s pretty obvious which way my matrimonial unit is going to lean. We want to get a Wii, too, but I sort of consider that an outside comparison between the PS3/XBox 360 battle.
On that topic, though, why hasn’t anyone developed a Katamari game for the Wii? It seems like it would have vast potential for entertainment.
Looking through the list did remind me of the one thing that I was interested to hear about from the E3 coverage: the Ghostbusters video game did look pretty cool.
Katamari! I know!
A teacher who works at our school has a son who is on the development process for the Ghostbusters game and is very excited about it.
I played through Resistance with my brother. We normally don’t dig historical shooters, but when it’s Korean War soldiers take on mutated Communists, sign me up. It was amazing. Although I enjoyed laughing ’til I cried with Army of Two’s sniper mode, Resistance has the best sniper mode that does a controlled slow-mo. Very crazy in ambush situations.
We’re very excited for Resistance 2, even though I don’t have a PS3.
I’m normally pretty uninterested in any console FPS, but the sad truth is that you can take any game, no matter how lame it is, just drop it in an alternate history timeline, and I’m about 200% more interested. I’m not kidding. I’d be a terrible focus group. They would have pitched Oregon Trail to me, and I would have been decently interested, but if they said, “Oh, did we mention that in this game, in the year 1848, dinosaurs still roam the American west?” I would have bought eight copies right then.
I used to do with my WWII strategy computer games. I’d go in as Germany and declare war on a bunch of countries, and then declare war on others as Britain, just to create these weird, elaborate alliances that fit whatever timeline and diplomatic mess I’d imagined in my head. Yeah, I was kind of weird as a kid.
I just looked over the list of games out for the Wii, and I had forgotten just how many I really wanted to try. Thanks, Nintendo, for moving most of the games I liked on the DS over the the Wii.
Rick Moranis refused to do any voice work on the Ghostbusters game. All of the others (Murrey, Ramis, Elwood, and Winston–can you tell I didn’t want to look up how to spell names?) are in–even Annie Potts. Apparently Moranis made so much off of the “Honey I Shrunk Your Wallet to See My Movies” gig that he retired and will not act anymore. Like Sean Connery.
