Un artículo realmente interesante que he visto navegando por N4G el cual debería de leer más de uno de los que han posteado por ejemplo en el hilo de PlayStation 4 podría ser más potente que la nueva consola de Microsoft

There's a lot of talk amongst gaming websites including this one about games which appear on one system as an exclusive that are desirable on another. However, how much of that desirability is simply wishful thinking in the minds of the authors playing the game of assuming to know what the consensus actually is? We've perhaps been guilty of being excited for a newly announced PS3 game like The Last of Us, and although like many we own multiple consoles and will get to play exclusives no matter what system they appear on, is it presumptuous of us to then believe that those who do not are sitting there in horror as they watch trailers and hear opinion for the next exciting looking game on another console? There are some great games on the 3DS which those who don't own the device will never get to play, as die hard gamers we might express an interest in the exclusive Resident Evil or latest Zelda game, but is this reflective opinion of anyone else, are there single format owners who simply aren't that bothered?

In all probability the answer has to be a resounding yes, and despite what we and others might lead you to believe, you're probably not missing out as much as is purported. A popular topic of discussion hovers around console exclusive titles, as the same arguments and reasoning ricochet off well versed walls of opinion, yet, are gamers really missing out if they don't play some games, can they be content with the games that are available, and perhaps is there an even greater element of the grass is always greener on the other side when it comes to video game exclusives.

We think it's exciting to take an interest in what's happening in other camps, we are gamers after all not shackled or loyal to any one company, but perhaps we do overplay the importance of ownership and being able to play as many games as possible, a sentiment not necessarily shared by our peers. In fact, from our own research it's quite feasible for many gamers to be perfectly happy spending their gaming time with multi-format games like Modern Warfare 3 or Skyrim, where things like accessibility, controller preference, cost, and online features are more important elements than exclusive games. In light of this, here's 5 exclusive game series on PS3 and Xbox which we believe Xbox and PS3 owners shouldn't feel like they are missing out on . If you're not able to play them - then buying a second console this late in the game is very much a viable option - if you're that desperate.

Resistance/Killzone/Halo:

Resistance has been Sony's counter to the Halo franchise, alongside the rather well produced Killzone games. But with Halo being all encompassing, is there really any need to feel like you're missing out. Not really. Halo provides enough alien filled thrills that the need to repeat the experience under a different guise doesn't warrant the comparison. Killzone might offer some of the most polished first person shooting experiences around, but then again,in its own way Halo is equally as well produced. There's no real need then to wonder what the other games are doing if the quality on both sides is so high.



Gran Turismo/Forza Motorsport:

Two great franchises where each one offers a slightly different take on simulated driving/racing experiences. However, the basic set ups are very similar, and so to be pinning for one over the other is perhaps more in tune with personal taste than abstract jealousy of cool and genre defining features.



Infamous/Fable:

An open world, the ability to shape the sentiment of its inhabitants, and the option to be omnipresent in your demeanour means that the end game is the same. You can be good or evil with the effects having profound influences on your surrounds. The time periods might be very different and the executions dissimilar, but the experiences at a basic level are remarkably similar in many ways. Again, it's surely a matter of taste.



Gears/Uncharted:

Both games offer adventurous and dark undertoned plots, with larger than life characters. Both offer cover shooter mechanics, and both provide comprehensive multiplayer angles, so therefore it really does boils down to taste. Both Uncharted and Gears of War games are the pinnacle of great looks for their respective systems, so why be upset if you're not experiencing both, there's really no valid reason to be at all.



Alan Wake/Heavy Rain:

Heavy Rain made an impact due to its quirky controls and interesting story telling techniques, whereas both games exuded the same contemporary "thriller" approach. Whilst the gameplay might be different in both titles, it's perhaps these differences that give them their unique identities. As a player, Alan Wake or the characters of Heavy Rain both tell a story in an encapsulating way, and if you've not played one over the other then why the need to feel left out. There isn't one really, as the experiences on offer still keep you gripped and entertained by the breadth of their fictional content.

Fumito Ueda, el creador de Ico, Shadow of the Colossus y el futuro The Last Guardian, podría haber dejado Sony, según ha podido saber Eurogamer.

Fuentes de la industria del videojuego en Japón apuntan a que este desarrollador de 41 años está trabajando para acabar The Last Guardian, pero lo está haciendo en calidad de freelance.

La salida de Ueda de Sony Computer Entertainment podría ser una de las razones por las que este juego exclusivo de PlayStation 3 vio retrasada su fecha de salida recientemente.

Según los últimos rumores, una vez que Ueda finalice su trabajo en este título se embarcará en otros proyectos personales.

A pesar de que The Last Guardian no estuvo presente en la última edición del Tokyo Game Show, el pasado mes de septiembre desde Sony se dijo que el Team Ico seguía "trabajando duro" en el que probablemente sea el juego más esperado de PS3.

Por su parte, el máximo responsable de SCE dijo a mediados del pasado mes de agosto que el desarrollo no estaba siendo tan rápido como esperaban. "Ha sido muy complicado ver el progreso, no ha sido tan rápido como esperábamos y el equipo ha estado bajo presión", afirmó entonces.

Ahora mismo el juego sigue sin fecha de lanzamiento, solamente se ha comentado que saldrá en algún momento de 2012. En cualquier caso, más de cinco años después de su primer anuncio en febrero de 2007.

Nos hemos puesto en contacto con Sony, pero han decido no hacer comentarios al respecto.

Según la notícia en exclusiva de PSNow.es, PS3 también recibirá un remaster de este juego de PSP.



Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep recibirá un remaster HD para PS3.

   En conmemoración al décimo aniversario en marzo de 2012 de la saga Kingdom Hearts, Square-Enix tiene preparadas varias sorpresas, una de ellas es el remaster HD para PS3 del aclamado título de PSP Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.

   Junto a Birth by Sleep podrían llegar remasters de los Kingdom Hearts de PS2 a nuestras PS3.

   Como ya anticipé en el hilo de rumores de PlayStation Vita, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep 2 se encuentra en desarrollo para la portátil, aunque es muy probable que se trate de un título que aparezca simultáneamente para PSVita y PS3.

Y sí, ellos mismos... En fin

Puesto que no ha abierto nadie hilo de la Captivate (y encima existe embargo hasta el 12, así que poco se podría comentar allí...) pongo aquí unas imágenes que se han filtrado de lo que son los carteles de tres nuevos juegos. Eso sí, como podréis observar, están borrosos... En primer lugar salieron pixelados, al menos ahora están un poco más nítidos (en serio, lo están...)







¿Qué juegos creéis que serán? Por el momento se han presentado además los carteles de Resident Evil Operation Raccon City, Asura Wrath, Street Fighter VS Tekken y Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D, así que evidentemente no se tratará de ninguno de esos. ¿Apuestas?

   Cage confirmed to us that Quantic Dream is beavering away on two “very different” projects - and when they’re finished, he’s going to turn his attention to shaking up the shooter category.

   Cage named both Apocalypse Now and Platoon as potential influences on the title, adding that he was striving to represent war in a more cinematic, less joyful way than the video games industry has become accustomed to.

   “I want to create a genre,” revealed Cage. I want to convince more people that [emotional gaming] is a valid direction for the industry; to show them that this was not just one product, one story. It’s a format that can be used to tell any kind of story in any genre with any tone.”

   He added: “I would really like the opportunity to work on a different type of game. I would love to see if what we discovered could be applied to a first-person shooter, for example.”

   When pressed on whether the idea could ever become a reality at Quantic, Cage replied: “First person, I don’t know. But a game about war is something I would like to do, just to see if we could get closer to the film side; not gloryfying war, but talking about it from a realistic point of view.

   “War is not fun. Talking about what the people involved, what they feel, how horrible it can be. This is something I think could be very exciting and very new for the games industry. When we talk about war, it’s always a very ‘cool’ thing - you have these big guns and you kill loads of people.

   “I would really like to take a different approach; to tell a story about politics [with it] or something a little more serious. I would like to use what we discovered in Heavy Rain in this fantastic medium of interactivity to say something meaningful. This is probably one of the next things I’m going to try.”

   When CVG pointed out that Cage could change people’s expectations of a war game - and potentially damage the predictable domination of CoD-alikes - Cage commented:

   “I think it would be an important way to evangelise [to] people. To say, ‘Look - if you get with more emotion and storytelling, it leads you to a more interesting experience. There is room for more than just games which get you with adrenalin.”

   An emotional war game? Sounds interesting. But just a passing though at the moment, right? Wrong.

   “I’m going to work on it. It’s really something I want to do.”
