Even though I already have a "Sony ID", I may have to create a new
"Resistance ID" (because Insomniac's Resistance has it's own list) to play. And then start thinking about just how broken
the experience is when you try to invite someone to a game. Do you send
it via the Resistance UI? What screenname do I send it to? If I want to
add you to my "Sony ID" friends list, do I need to send you an in-game
message to ask you what your real "Sony ID" name is? What about game
invites? How does that work across even just these two IDs? |

» And your point is?
"360 - being outsold by ps2 !!!"
I see, so the more expensive next-gen console is being outsold by the much cheaper market leader from last gen.
Are you really that stupid that you can't understand why? Hmmm, I guess so, since you brought it up.
The PS2 will probably outsell the PS3 this Christmas also. Gee, I wonder why.

» PS3 would
I think PS3 would outsell PS2 this holiday season they just won't be shipping enough PS3s to do so. So basically your saying who will sell more things the guy with 4 oranges or the guy with 20 apples.

» What you think...
...makes no difference to the PS3 sales. The point I believe he was making is that there are MANY factors which effect console sales, cost being one of them, brand name another, available games, killer apps etc. So simply saying 360 was outsold by PS2 proves nothing and says nothing.
It's a comment which deserves the responce "So what?".

He does have a point, as even I thought about this when one game was said to be using gamespy and another xfire.
Sony really just needs to pick one and force publishers to use that, and this is probably the cause of the lawsuit.
Even if this is the case, lots of people would probably put up with that hassle for free online.

» I wouldn't
50 bucks a year for live is hardly expensive when it is loaded with features and runs great almost all the time. (you can even get the live for about 40 bucks a year. just shop around)
so lets see...50 bucks divided by 12 comes out to just $4.16 a month. and at 40 / 12 + $3.33 a month.
why wouldn't you want to spend that much a month to not deal with a broken online system.

» I have one word. Steam
Steam is better than Xbox Live in terms of playing games online.
In Steam, you have a Steam ID, and different name for each games.
You might want to keep your name in CS:S with your clan name, but have a different name in DoD:S because you're in a different clan for DoD:S
Generally, I find it more fun to play on Steam
I also don't see "multiple" middlewares fighting for the throne in the future.
Sony's main one does most of the jobs, as far as I can see from the footages available now, but I'm still stuffed over why these things are happening

» Mudslinging
This is total mudslinging on the part of M$. They know that the PS3 will totally own them in the coming year and they're just trying to spread false info. All reports say that the PS3 network is equal to or better than XBox Live. A first gen PS3 game has 40 person online play. Even current Live games can't come close to touching that. What's even better is that the PS3 network is 100% free.
Only a retard would spend money on an XBox and Live knowing that the PS3 is coming. 11/17 Next-gen begins!

» ahhh....
The only thing stopping dev's from making a 40+ player game on 360 is MS. MS has a set off standards for it's live games so that you get a very stable (As possible) experience, with as little lag as possible.
If resistace is not being hosted on it's on t1 or t3's, then I guarentee you will not see any 40 player games, because they will all be horribly laggy. If resistance does host their own servers, Sony is going to find out how fast expenses can rise when you do so, and how fast they can lose money with a free service.
You can't always just look at higher numbers and say they are better, stop and think of the repercussions....

Sony knows what they are doing and getting into, don't lecture us on what Sony could lose or else they would not be giving a free sevice. When Resistance is out and people are playing 40 players games i'm guessing you'll be surprised. People are likely to try out a 24-32 player game instead of a 40, but hey we'll see what happens.

» Broken?
The funny thing is if you keep up on the PS3 news you know as much about Sonys new online buddy system as this MS guy does. And amazingly it's far to little to begin speculation of it as a broken system. This is just a guy who's upset that Sony is trying to take away the one thing they have one upped Sony on (which is understandable... if he was a 13 year old boy).

What this guy said, sounds right...Its just like PS2....Sony is rushing the PS3 out, they are in over thier head....its gonna be just like PSP and PS2....
The easiest way, would to add someone to your Sony ID, and then figure out what thier ResistanceID is, and every other game you have to play wiht the system.

You cant even invite your friends to play gears of war so i dont think there in any position to talk.
This was forced by m$ also.
We arent paying hundreds off dollars for an online service over years either, so mabe i have to fill in two passwords instead of one. Atleast im not paying 200 every 4 years for basically nothing.

you are obviusly in denial, so let me explain a senario where you can do what is impossible on ps3, your playing a online game in gow or playing the story line, and you seeyour friend is playing blazing angels campiegn, so you send him an invite and if he accepts, it will tell him to insert gow, and boom hes in game with u helping u play through the story or destroy an enemy team. Now once vista is released you can even send invites to people playing computer games and play cross platform, with live integrated into vista....they call it "live anywhere", because you can even send invites to windows cell phones.

» I dont expect much from sony
I will agree that microsoft employees should just stop talking about the PS3, its unessesary for them to get involved in these petty mud slinging contests.
Has anyone stopped and realized that with Xfire, Gamespy and the like, there are going to be advertisements in your face when you go online? Why do you think the Sony online service will be be "free"? Its because they are letting trashy companies like gamespy use the PS3 for advertising. The whole service(the many sides of it) is going to be miserable to use.
At the risk of sounding like the PS3 hater, I think everyone is expecting a whole lot more out of the PS3 online service then what we are going to get. Lets just look at Sony's track record.
Playstation.
There was plans for online support and a keyboard being added eventually. This is one of the big reasons I bought a Playstation. It never happened.
Playstation 2.
Right at release they said they planned to release a harddrive and network adapter as add-ons for the machine. The network adapter came what, about 3 years later? It supported only a couple games, and they were terrible games. The harddrive later came out and FFXI is the ONLY game that ever made use of it. later yet, Sony released the little PS2, which cant play FFXI.
Playstation Portable.
Twisted Metal was pretty decent online, as well as one or two other games, and thats it. Other then that, the PSP is just a really crappy internet browser.
Playing "online" games on a playstation system is like a taboo. Sony has failed THREE TIMES NOW. You are absolutely out of your mind if you think they are going to get it perfectly right this time. The PS3 online service will be a horrible mess at release, it will be a pain in the butt to use, it will be frustrating, it will have advertizements, and probably only a couple games will support it.
But at least it will be free.... and apparently that makes it "as good" as xbox live, according to a lot of jackasses who post here.

» What?
PSX- still a solid system with tons of great titles.
PS2- Network adapter had plenty of good online capable titles, ever play Socom or MGS3 online, and tons of sports games (and a personal favorite of mine Amplitude the sequel to the also online game Frequency). So if you say the network adapter had nothing to it you most definately had to be trying to avoid online titles. There were two titles that made good use of the HDD btw Resident Evil: Outbreak and FFXI. There are still plenty of people palying FFXI on their PS2 HDDs also (I play FFXI and I run into lots of them). I would definately say HDD was a failure overall (not completely useless) but not the network adapter.
You say they failed 3 times when really PSP might be the only time you could say that. Take a poll on how many people bought PSX for online abilities it will be less than 5% I'd guess. I've played lots of games online with my PS2 and I know others who'd say the same so that acusation is unfounded. PSP I'll agree you on.
I think Sony will do a fairly good job with their online on PS3 and with Resistance: Fall of Manand its 40 man online play I don't know how you say at launch PS3's online gaming won't be fun.
Plus nobody has remotely mentioned putting advertising anywhere except Sony online marketplace so your just bringing up things that are pure specualtion on your half that in no way can be remotely proved.

» no worries here!
you know why the PS2 online didn't become successful as much as XBL? because PS2 network adapter is an add on that you attach in the back of your PS2 system. and most gamers doesn't want to shell out $50 for you to play online games. still, millions of gamers plays SOCOM, Final Fantasy Online, Reside Evil Online, Madden, NBALIVE as a proof that PS2 online service was never a failure after all.
now PS3 online service is different. you can play online games right away out of the box with your PS3 system. developers can create games that has an online feature on it immediately.
now, if some people here says that you cannot contact you friend using your PS3 user ID immediately as what XBL do. its no a big deal really. you can either wait for him to go and play the same game as you do, call him up on the phone, or email him. its simple as that....geez.

There is nothing Pessimist about it buddy. I have been with Playstation for what, 10 years now? I have also been a PC gamer for about as long. I have seen what Sony does, I have seen what Gamespy does. The playstation library is swolen with japanese developers, and I have seen what they like to do.
Few japanese developers have ever had an interest in online gameplay. Sure there are a few out there, FFXI is the most notable one, but the reality is, you will likely see some japanese fighters like Tekken with some crappy online support. More then likely, The most popular PS3 online games will be american in origin, and most american developers seem to have more interest in the 360.
I am a realist. I would like to see Sony succede (finally) in the online world, but all things considered, all they currently have are big promises, a poor track record, and middleware that I have never liked in the past. Only its release will finally prove the success or failure of PS3 online. My own speculation means little, but I think Sony is trying to climb out of a deep hole they have dug themselves, and they will likely be more successful with the PS4, 6+ years from now.
There is nothing Pessimist about it buddy. I have been with Playstation for what, 10 years now? I have also been a PC gamer for about as long. I have seen what Sony does, I have seen what Gamespy does. The playstation library is swolen with japanese developers, and I have seen what they like to do.
Few japanese developers have ever had an interest in online gameplay. Sure there are a few out there, FFXI is the most notable one, but the reality is, you will likely see some japanese fighters like Tekken with some crappy online support. More then likely, The most popular PS3 online games will be american in origin, and most american developers seem to have more interest in the 360.
I am a realist. I would like to see Sony succede (finally) in the online world, but all things considered, all they currently have are big promises, a poor track record, and middleware that I have never liked in the past. Only its release will finally prove the success or failure of PS3 online. My own speculation means little, but I think Sony is trying to climb out of a deep hole they have dug themselves, and they will likely be more successful with the PS4, 6+ years from now.

» The big thing...
I would like to see sony's online service work. Chances are I will get a ps3 next year or so, so it would be nice to have it function online well.
Unfortunately I am a realist, hehe, and I can't see a companies first true attempt at an online service, using various middleware for it's features, being that great.
It will probably be functional, but nothing mind blowing. Straight away, the major thing I like about live, the headset and voice comm is obviously lacking in PS3.....I can tell because they are not giving out headsets with every system. I think everyone with a 360 and live has at least two headsets, I have 3, just because microsoft wants to make sure everyone has one. It's the little things like this that matter.....also, how good are stats going to be, if there are any at all ?

All Microsoft ever does is trash talk about it's competitors. Where's the walk, Microsoft? Lol. Sony on the other hand, is constantly working hard at providing the services costumers needs and they're constantly taking feedbacks and fixing things and making them better. Playstation Online may not be perfect now, but it'll be soon. Microsoft Live is doom! Microsoft Live is Dead! Playstation Online is the next big thing.

» What? Where?
"Where's the walk, Microsoft?"
They are walking it. Doing a nice rythmic walk down the street, with disco playing in the background, while wearing gold chains, bellbottoms and all. There is a long procession of loyal buddies following along behind Mr Microsoft as he struts his stuff. He happens across a dirty filthy bum named Sony the Hobo. Rather then sony the hobo some spare change, Mr Microsoft just stops, points both fingers at him and says "You suck, buddy" and then continues his strut down the sidewalk. Microsoft is the coolest man around, and damn good dancer to boot!
Microsoft is walking the walk. Sony is talking the talk.... lots of talk, lots of promises, lots of braging... but in over 10 years, they have never walked the walk. Sony will never fit into Microsofts platform shoes.

360 Sucks. And people wonder why the 360 doesn't sell well in Japan. Japanese people are smart they know a piece of ***** when they see it.

» Hmm...
Does Sony really promise things? Does Microsoft promise things? I believe they plan to do things and if it doesn't go well then either scrap or delay the project right? Microsoft has been saying 1080p was nothing special and i believe they said they didn't want it at first and now what they add it to 360 as an update. I'm sorry if i'm against Microsoft most times but i'm only saying what i hear +P. Sony can recieve all the bad publicity they want but it doesn't affect the masses of gamer's decision willing to buy it.
Personally, the only thing i've ever complimented on Xbox was Halo and Ninja Gaiden. I wanted to get 360 if they were going to have NG but it seems its coming to PS3.

» yeah realist...
you'll never see tekken on 360 so don't worry about any standards for online fighting. Secondly, shut up. You're defending a console, which sucks so hard in japan, that it’s price has fallen to that of a psp--which is too say, psp is still outselling 360 in japan. So in 100 ways of brutal shoalin arts i say STFU.
Also to anybody who thinks this matters then answer yourself "why did i buy a ps2"? Ummm...maybe you bought it for the games? The single player experience? the joy of a adventure/action/rpg?
Ozymandias is comparing this as apple to apple--cause it's next-gen--but what he and you aren't putting into account is that microsoft's focus is it's online capabilities, while Sony will have those great single player games AND THE ABILITY to go online.
Besides, didn't ign just post a article about how xfire is there but not necessary?

I don't give a sh*t what the Japanese do, they are elitist, racist bastards, and if you knew anything about them then you know the main reason they do not buy it is because it's an american company. Since the americans came in and started forcing their culture upon the japanese, they really don't like them much anymore...
Next time you try to sound big and cool, try learning to spell first. It's always interesting when a little sh*t tries to talk big, but makes himself look more like an ass due to his lack of intelligence, grammar and spelling.....idiots FTW!!!11!! LAWL !!!

Why is that you PS3 Fanboys talk so abstractly.... We're trying to give you the facts and yet you still are in denial. I mean, can you guys be a bit more constructive here, for example "You say 360 sucks", yet you fail to provide statistics or reason for why. Saying its "a piece of *****" really says nothing to me besides the fact that you need to just shut the ***** up and don't ever talk again. Maybe you forgot the the 360 Blue Dragon edition that sold out within a day (10,000 Systems) plus another 90,000 regular ones (100,000) That's just in japan.
Old gen always outsells next gen, you must be on crack if you thought that as soon as next-gen come out it should outsell everything. 1080p TVs anyone? How many people are buying them??? I mean aren't they next gen?
Nothing in this world is free. You Ps3 freaks are like little zombies "Thank you sony for providing free service with no lag, best features EVER possibly imagined" Well, remember, they want to make a profit. And:
1. It will suck = Free
2. They'll make it good = Won't be free
Simple as that. It's like as if someone has committed a crime. Someone will obviously go to a prison. Same scenario here, who the ***** will do all this for free. Sony? Yea definitely, because they are so financially stable right now (94% profit drop!) [/Sarcasm]. Just face it, you can't beat Xbox live. I bet most of you are just talking ***** out of your ass. You can't say ***** to me, because Xbox Live is out, physically and PS Online is just talks and promises. So can't really draw any conclusions from that.......

to put it bluntly-you're speaking like a true sony fanboi. If you didn't ketch that, it means you're no better. Anyways, statistics aint gonna lie, blue dragon sold out. THATS *****ING GREAT RIGHT?! Oh? oh wait...what happens after that...huh... oh nothing. So asdf, say microsoft sold roughly 100,000 consoles for 1 title, how much did microsoft sell for a whole friggin launch?
And jesus zanz, pull your head out of your ass! I'd never go online if my ps3 didn't have a network adapter so 1 point to sony-they got one person on board. Now how many more you think will join in? I think your math will improve after this lesson zanz, no need to thank me.
