Region free!? Where did u hear that, Likwid Jeenyus?
Been living under a rock these past years now, have we?
Or they just now discovered the amazing thing called the internet the moment they posted that comment.
People forget that the PS3 is region-free. Europeans tend to buy PS3s because of it. It is usually due to the fact that they get games much later than US and Japanese markets. And with BlazBlue not gonna be release until sometime late next year in Europe, of course they would get the PS3 version.
Character designs are superb ^^
I have both PS3 and 360 and thanks to a friend I've played both versions. PS3's version online plays smooth 360's when compared lags. As for the controller debate PS3 gets my vote again. In the heat of battle its more reliable to execute combos with PS3's d-pad. So there you have it case close.
Case closed? You make it sound like your opinion is the deciding factor in whether people will get the PS3 or 360 version.
Rinfinite, shut the fuck up. We all know you're an XBox 360 fanfaggot, we don't need the constant reminding. Although I do agree, this Anon's opinion is not the deciding factor.
No way around the Xbox 360 controllers' d-pad suckiness, I'm making no bones 'bout it. And it's not realistic to expect everyone to get an arcade stick just for this game, either.
I love this game. Playing this on the PS3. Well, what can I say. I love the storyline for this game. And/// of course, I love litchi's, especially when she got hit! sounds p0rn. but, noel is still my no. 1:)
Wow, uh. Don't feed the trolls. <w<;;
xD
I hope I don't have to import this game.. such a hassle.
I liked my GG, looking forward to this.
Don't get much over here in New Zealand.
Is it true that the console version is censored with less pantsu than the arcade version?
I lack a PS3. Until that changes, I ain't giving any sort of damn about BlazBlue. Period.
I didn't get the PS3 version because I wanted to play online, I got it out of fear. Fear my Xbox would take a dump on me. Which it did.
woww
She looks like a Jawa in Star Wars...
Hmmmm Should I get this game.I have both system and comfortable with both controller, maybe just maybe
so Taokaka likes practicing headbutts apparently.... (you won't understand this unless you've played Blazblue..... and this was a "lol time" moment in the game i actually enjoyed, thanks "boobie lady" XD)
Played it, loved it, keeping it for years to come :)
"supposedly on account of the best Japanese players being overwhelmingly on the PS3" This kind of comment is from people that has completely no idea of what gaming community in japan is like.
even in japan xbox360 community has much better player in term of quality. this apply to all fighting game, fps alike. go read up 2ch before making biased comment. ps3's rubbish like friendlist system makes it impossible to communicate, its like only 10% of the japanese actually have a mic for ps3 while for 360 mic is a standard accessory for people who play online. I own 2 console btw.
a japanese vs an american and a mic...?
Great Game got me into the fighting game spirit once again.
PS3s are gay, sucks this site is so bi-est. PS3/360 are pretty much the same consoles, I own both and enjoy both.
Bias*. I wouldn't expect a 360 fanboy to know how to spell properly though, since they're all 12 years old - either physically or mentally (or both). PS3 has free online, built in Blu-Ray and WiFi, true 1080p HD support, and better exclusives. 360 charges you $50/yr to play games online that you already bought and are gonna put ads on the dashboard. You're paying $50/yr for advertisements.

How does THAT make you feel? And you're exclusives - What's 360 got coming out in '09? Halo ODST, Forza 3, and Mass Effect 2. So, 1 shitty Halo rehash, a Gran Turismo ripoff, and 1 good RPG. While I'm jealous of Mass Effect 2, I think E3's Game of the Show - Uncharted 2 - as well as God of War 3, Ratchet and Clank Future: ACiT, Demon's Souls, White Knight Chronicles, Gran Turismo 5, M.A.G., The Last Rebellion, Katamari Forever, and Fat Princess will cheer me up. Not to mention InFamous, Killzone 2, Yakuza 3, Flower, MLB: The Show, and a handful of other AAA games that came out in '09 that will keep me goin' 'til the holiday season.
Oh, and lets not forget that 2 of the biggest games this year, Batman: Arkham Asylum and Assassin's Creed 2, both have exclusive content on the PS3. Suck that GTA4 and Fallout 3.
So, is 2009 the year of the PS3 too? I keep on hearing that every year.
The cell is so awesome that even when sales drop, it's still amazing. Thats why 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 are supposed to be the years of the PS3.
Don't underestimate the PS3. It's got everything you could ever want! Like BluRay...and...WiFi...and...and...a bunch of other stuff you don't need!
"year of the PS3" is fanboy bullshit ignore it due too no factual basis. Cell has it's pros and cons.
The PS33 also has digital optical audio output and no bullshit money squeezing schemes,so it doesn't require you to buy extra god damn cables because microsoft decided "haha we wont allow you HDMI cable+ the standard audio cables because we are greedy scumbags and want u to buy this EXTRA 30 dollar cable etc.
The standard PS3 beats the 360 Elite hands down in value and could possibly challenge the premium xbox for anyone considering a HD tv + any kind of sound not coming from the god damn monitor. Now a logical human being would weigh the features and games and prices against eachother and decide based on that which is the "best" console for him, long story short there is no static answer for best console
Well, to be honest, a lot of the Ps3 exclusives aren't coming out until 2010.
@Rinfinite
That part of the press conference was pretty sarcastic.. The audience seemed to lol too, as it was somewhat obligatory to add something like that in.
Should have seen EA's conference. They got some fucking 12 year old girls on stage to play some random shit. Painful to watch =\
@ Rinfinite
No one said shit about 06/07 being "Year of the PS3". The only reason '08 wasn't dominated by the PS3 is 'cause 360 actually had some decent exclusives to contend with it. Now that it's '09 though, 360 doesn't have *SHIT*. You saw E3. 1/2 their damn show was a demo of some 15 yr old autistic girl spazzing out on PS Eye. Errrr, Project Natal***.
What was Sony's E3? Oh yeah, nothing but PURE games. 1 game after another. SO MANY GAMES THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO SHOW ALL THEIR EXCLUSIVES IN 2 HOURS. Microsoft showed off a bunch of multiplatform games and some bullshit with Halo. Their big Epic exclusive? A fucking XBLA Arcade game.
Keep trying to tell yourself the PS3 doesn't have the most amazing lineup of exclusives this year. It's gonna be hard to deny it when the holidays roll around and the only exclusives you have to enjoy is a racing sim. Your tears of jealousy will feed me while I play Uncharted 2 and over 36 other exclusive titles dropping in '09 for PS3.
"Keep trying to tell yourself the PS3 doesn’t have the most amazing lineup of exclusives this year."
"What was Sony’s E3? Oh yeah, nothing but PURE games. 1 game after another. SO MANY GAMES THEY DIDN’T EVEN HAVE TIME TO SHOW ALL THEIR EXCLUSIVES IN 2 HOURS. Microsoft showed off a bunch of multiplatform games and some bullshit with Halo. Their big Epic exclusive? A fucking XBLA Arcade game."
This year? Just this fucking year? ROFL.
Oh wait, you guys have Hannah Montana on the PSP, Sony's E3 was amazing indeed!
"you're exclusives" lol "how to spell properly" huh ??
Why the asshole treatment to the 360 owners? I own both consoles, and I rarely turn on my PS3. The games that come out for both consoles lean towards my 360 almost all the time.
PS3 has additional stuff that you don't really need. You'll say, "oh, that's cool...ok, I'm over it." PS3 exclusives aren't that great man, the year of the PS3 is yet to come...if it ever does.
yeah really
It's shit like this that makes me ashamed to be a gamer at this time. /: Fucking children.
Kotaku itself is so biased toward sony dont u see that? Japanese hate sony you can go research on things called GK, Sony Timer. In fact ps3 got tons of assholes because anyone could just keep making free ids. for gamertags u need to give up ur gamerscore and flish to make a newone, i encounter less assholes on live though. I play in Japanese community, almost all my gaming friends are around 30s while my ps3 flist has lots of high schoolers. GT5s reign is already over, after so long in development i still do not see any thing coming out except gt5 prologue where cheaters just zoom pass u and most importantly no one fucking owns a mic. While forza u can design ur own car its really interesting to see people with IMAS or dream club car racing with you. The Last Rebellion is complete rubbish period go look at the screen shot, i bet u wont buy it. Ryu3 is interesting to some extent, but ryu kenzan is complete rubbish though. White Knight Chronicles is not interesting at all, you are doing the samething over and over again and the main story ends abruptly you dont even know wat is happening.
Play Halo 3 and then play Killzone 2. Tell me PSN has more childish assholes than XBL. I *DARE* you. It can't be done. Absolutely impossible. Also, most people accuse Kotaku of being bias *AGAINST* the PS3, not TOWARDS it. I personally find them to be a well publicated, unbiased source, but people will always find something to bitch about (They are teh bias! They said something bad about the 360! Oh noes!?!!"
Regardless I'm playing the freak out of this game, but I have to remember not to overheat the console or else....
360?
That's all well and dandy, unless you live in Canada and didn't pre-order it; We're pretty much forced to wait until the end of July for restocks ( or the standard version, no less ) to come by because they somehow didn't make enough.
I've never had so much trouble getting a game after its release. D:
International sales of the ps3 version has almost NOTHING to do with Japanese players. It's all about the controller. Nobody would be caught dead playing a fighter using the 360's broken ass d-pad.
wouldn't blame the D-pad I know several people that can do rotate moves better on 360 d-pad. Personally I use an arcade stick. For controllers I prefer 360s because it fits the human hands alot better than a PlayStation one and don't cramp up your fingers.
I can probably kick your sorry ass using my D-pad no matter what joystick/arcade stick you use.
Anyone who's living in such abject poverty that they can't afford to buy or make a decent stick shouldn't have a PS3 or 360 in the first place, they should save whatever rubles they have for malaria medications and what have you.
Seriously, why would anyone EVER subject themselves to ANY controller in a fighting game? It's only a step or two above using a keyboard, which I'm pretty sure is outlawed by the Geneva Convention. They probably force prisoners in Guantanamo to play Third Strike on a keyboard right after they finish waterboarding them. Well, not 3S, probably one of the KoFs. It's torture after all.
Oh god just shut up. Plenty of people can play extraordinarily well with a keyboard, and just as many can excel with a d-pad. Many people's first long-term exposure to fighting games came with the SNES version of SFII, and they learned to pull off just about anything with a d-pad.
More like us Europeans who have a PS3 can import and play while nothing is said about a PS3/360 release in Europe.
X-play gave it a 4 out of 5.
I give it 5 out of 5 just for the Panchira!
360 is a bad system for fighting games to begin with.controller is crap.so annoying to use
Any serious player will have a joystick anyway, so the point is moot...
That's really just a ludicrous statement, Artefact. A joystick is not a pre-requisite for competitive play. The sales of the PS3 version are higher due to the PS3's superior D-pad, and for no other reason.
I hate these scrubs posing like they were competitive gamers. 360's controller might suck, but you won't lose solely because of it. Whatever works for you is fine, really.
There's not much of a difference between pad and stick warriors in the Saturn Pad tier. Arcade sticks allow for better, faster inputs, mixups, etc, but this does not mean there will be really a big difference if you are using a pad (and have the skills).
I used to rock faces on GGXX#R using the original Xbox's S-Type controller analog stick. all I'd hear is "HURRR STICK IS SUPERIOR" "LOL ANALOG" "LOL SCRUB" And then I'd kick their ass.
Sticks are not superior, if you practice enough with ANYTHING you can become damn good. A lot of the motions only seem difficult to some on the dpad because they haven't found the right way to do them
Yeah, because every person uses an arcade stick. *rolls eyes*
Arcade sticks are VERY expensive =\. Well. good ones anyway. Not affordable for budget people like me :(
