The top heroes of Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 are arrayed together in this pair of images.
Anyone seeing them could be forgiven for noticing a rather large discrepancy between the two…
If this is too manful for your tastes, the female version may be of interest.

Everybody know Nintendo has the greatest heroes of all time..... Mario, Link, Samus, Would kick everyone's asses...
Before or after getting beaten up to a bloody plup, raped, sliced, and shot up by everyone else?
Needs moar tits. Every one of them.
They might win with the combined power of futa moe.
Still I'd pick PS3 anytime... It's a matter of taste for games.
To bad their consoles can't beat em xD
pfft a good console doesnt get its softwares' heroes to fight it' battles for it, it fights its own battles!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxLLhwCx4cM
DC wins all
Mario has killed the damn sun. You think a bunch of generic tough guy characters could beat him? Link and Samus could go make out while Mario crushed every last one of these pansies solo. And then went kart racing.
hahahaha Mario, Link, and Samus? umm Mario is a plumber with super strength and fire balls, Link is green dress wearing fairy princess futanari with some old weapons who wishes he was cool, and Samus is a bitch in a power suit. Snake has beaten Grey Fox (power suit/exoskeleton cyborg ninja 1000x cooler than Samus could ever hope to be) Metal Gears, B&B corps, Vamp, Foxhound, Big Boss (therefore by extension The Boss) Liquid, Ocelot,etc. all of whom could kick the shit out any Nintendo character, and since Snake beat all of them he wins. (he was in SSBM just to kick Nintendo character ass)
I can only see 3-4 badass heroes in this pictures. Man, Nintendo's heroes are in a better league, they don't need these ugly and harsh heads to look cool. Or shoud I say THIS ugly and harsh head?
BTW, I see you're somewhat misinformed. Snake is in SSBB.
The true heroes are the Zerg, who would rush every last one of them....
nearly don't recognize any of the 360 ones...
fuck....typo lapse in memory whatever you wanna call it. I know Snake is in SSBB not SSBM (don't know why I typed SSBM) but for the record Kojima wanted Snake in SSBM but time constraints.......But anon at 8:00 seriously Nintendo's characters are lame and weak, not to mention you say Nintendo's characters are better because they aren't ugly? Come on, Link's green dress, spandex and fugly boots with total fag face. Mario is like 2 ft tall is mentally impaired with a 3 sentence vocabulary "woo hoo" "WAAAAAAAAAHHHH" "itsa me Mario!" has lame powers and is an italian stereotype. Samus is pretty much a lame Iron Man missing cool parts (flying for example) with a retarded powersuit design (WTF at her shoulder pads) whose only draw-in is the fact it's a girl behind the powersuit and the fact that Samus seems cool in comparison to her other retard Nintendo companions. (which isn't saying much)
I only recognize one person from 360. That's L4D2's Nick in the top left corner, but he's also a "PC character". I wouldn't know him if I wasn't bored and leeched the game. Never even played the first one. I'm sure many would like to say "Fuck you Valve/Steam".
^
Once upon a time there were a group of brave warriors who decided to stand up against Valve and boycott L4D2. And guess what game these noble souls are playing right now(besides MW2, well, everyone plays that, even your neighbor's dog is playing that game)?
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/L4D2boycott/members?p=2
Nah I don't really care about online(MW2 included), besides I don't even know why people want L4D2 boycotted. For those that don't want to pay for the game(for now), Valve/Steam pulled off some pretty odd shit and caused some difficulty. Supposedly the game is currently buggy among other things. If L4D2's situation is also like MW2's, then I understand why. Besides I said I never played before, and that even included MW2. Simply got MW2 to annoy someone. This Anon has never played Portal, MW1, WoW, TF, DotA, SC, etc.
@14:43 I am sorry for your multiple losses.
It's all up to the creators to decide who's more powerful. What kind of an idiot can you be to argue about which bunch of polygons are more powerful.
Mario might be able to do a supernova attack.
Zelda might be a god in human form.
Snake might be nothing more than a biological weapon.
Dante perhaps gathers power from the mere existence of ladies in strip clubs.
You never know, really.
16:47 Nothing of importance was lost. The only game I respect in my last sentence was Portal. I have what I need to know about it. Cake, speedruns, sexy companion cubes, GLaDDOS singing, etc. The other games will just suck the life out you and turn you into idiotic drones. TF is neutral to me though, have yet to see anything negative about it.
out of*
Meh.
Nintendo's characters rule over the others for one simple reason:
Nintendo didnt make it's characters based on any kind of market research :) and because when those other character designers tend to try and make "badass" character designs (as they usually tend to do), they almost always dont come out badass, just as stereotypes.
There's a reason why Nintendo holds the most recognizable and popular characters in the world as far as games go (and mario even beats mickey mouse in some polls that have been done).
it's just the way gamers think i guess.. whenever they see something like this, like a "best heroes of all time" list, they immediately think about who could win as far as killing each other goes, or who looks cooler. These people would make poor character designers, just like the majority of actual character designers out there, especially in video game development.
to add to that, today's nintendo is different from the early nintendo (their first 10-15 years) though, when all their iconic characters were made. Today's nintendo hasnt really made any new character driven IPs... and if they did I'd assume it'd go one of two ways: the person designing would either go off market research like any other desiner today, or they'd just try too hard to be different and come up with something quirky and weird.
Then again, animal crossing had some great characters, like KK Slider. :3 And oh yeah, to prove the last point I made, look at Olimar from Pikmin, lol. Still, I'd easily take Olimar over stock bald space marine #214.
Nintendo's characters are always better.
Shut the fuck up. if it wasn't for Mario there would be no gaming today.. When games was dieing in the 80's Mario is the one who brought it back. Nintendo is the savior of of Video gaming, You son of a bitches should show more respect. Fuckers and yeah Mario would kick everyone's asses.
Watch this you disrespectful pieces of shit.
http://g4tv.com/videos/42847/X-Play-Presents-A-Mario-Retrospective/
Mario is the breath of life to what gaming is bitches.
I wouldn't worship Nintendo as the good guys...They pretty much bullied their way into success using draconian practices, eliminated competitions through unfair play. Luckily for them, Japan didn't have antitrust laws at that time. Otherwise they would have gotten their just dessert like Microsoft did. If a lot of key players didn't get ran out of business by Nintendo, the gaming scene would have been a lot different right now.
Wait, what are you talking about? That's some nice sounding words and all, but what's this about Nintendo working themselves into the industry in an unfair way?
Don't worry about the typo, or whatever you decide to call it, 7:16 and 11:06 anon^^ I already knew about snake on melee.
What I meant by saying ugly, is that they all look the same. Beacuse it's the easy way. No one has the balls now to create a plumber who eats pizza or a pink ball who sucks everything, and it's reasonable, partly, they don't want to take risks.
I think your arguments on Nintendo characters are quite puerile, TBH.
Anyway, whether they are ugly or not, what makes a hero a hero, is what they've done, and what most of these guys above have done is... Wait, what is it?
Maybe you won't read this, there are lots of comments now, but I don't have anything against you, I'd recommend we both have fun playing videogames, ok? ^^
No problem, but I prefer more human characters. (maybe just taste difference but to each his own) Oh how I wish I still had time to play games, I still haven't played more than a hour on Persona 3, I haven't finished Devil Summoner, Gungrave: Overdose, the horrid Drakengard 2, FF XII (I doubt i'll finish that POS), Chaos Legion, and some others. My schedule is shit wake-up 5:30 A.M., commute for 30-40 minutes, work all day (among cherry boys who don't know game design worth shit and won't STFU about gossip), then I get to come home (after another commute) to no dinner to tired to do anything just a shower and sleep. So now i'm sick and the person lending an ear (and sympathy) is this nice woman (early 30's?) she expresses sympathy over my current situation (says "I wish there was something I could do" and "I'm here if you need anything") I see her everyday at work. So NO I CAN'T HAVE FUN PLAYING GAMES (if you read this sorry and thanks and if you care i'm still with Seibu girl) out of space off topic -Asada
Nintendo characters are shit, bro
OF COARSE!
that is why they have lasted longer than most and evolved with the times, or set the bar for other characters
like Mario 64 showing us that 3D can be as good as 2D ones, Metroid going from side scrolling dungeon crawler to beautiful shooter, StarFox being one of the best examples of great early 3D flying games, Pokemon addicted kids and man-children for life, etc., etc. ect-fucking-cetera
NO, give me a middle age Caucasian man, with a buzz-cut, who smokes and shoots big guns at the monsters. NOW that's innovation.
also, Samus a girl, fuck that, turn her into a man, and make that fruity armor GREEN... yeah, that's HARDCORE
yup, Nintendo characters are SO unlikeable >.>
Being first doesn't make you the best. Also, that they've failed to create anything new, and have reused the same characters for so long to the point of sickness isn't a boon, it's a travesty.
Get over it, your Wii sucks and didn't even belong here.
Yet the american hero comics are still going and will continue for the next ten years at least.
Yet very few people read american comics especially here where japan is king Manga FTW
Fuck you bitch
Damn owned by an anon...must hurt. LOl Ironic that I'm one too.
Who can spot the fanboy amongst these totally unbiased and objective posts? :O
so wait, anon owned anon...?
let's add salt to the wound, Sonic the Hedgehog kiss @$$
travis touchdown anyone?
just how good are his light sabers? XD
Link is the best hero ever *-*
Who cares about the fucking fairy ;x
Fuck you all, Rance is clearly the greatest Video Game Hero of all time.
This, LOL
Who is that?
Amen! Rance is the best!!
Link and Samus could, but not Mario. I'm pretty sure jumping on peoples heads will not do much against Kratos, Nathan Drake, or the ODST Rookie.
but the fireball will.
and an ice ball
and the MAN TITS
Kratos and Solid Snake could take down every 360 character.
Dunno man, PS3 has Kratos and Solid Snake, who are both pretty damn badass in their own right.
This I fail to understand. Why does Nintendo have the "greatest of all time"?
Because we grew up with them? I honestly don't care about Mario as much as I did when I was a kid. Link I never liked. Samus is still cool, but that's an exception. That is, of course, my valoration alone. Fanboyism is the same as tribalism. I'm bored of it.
your right. i wish nintendo was up there. i guess they're in a league of thier own^^
Nobody can beat Snake....not even Chuck Norris.
Whats with that one guy from FFXIII being on the PS3 side? Whats his names again? Snow is it? Shouldn't him and Bacchus from SO4 be on neither side since they are both getting versions on both consoles?
I don't think FFXIII is coming out for the 360 in Japan.
yup, it's only here in the Western world where Square Enix felt it necessary to put in on the 360
You sure owned him.
I did what now?
360's heroes look so noob
No Master Chief on the 360-side? O.o
Well.. I agree with the first post anyway.
where did they leave Ratchet and Clank?
i want to know that as well...
no valkyria chronicles characters?
...
i are sad :(
u are blind :(
you mean that wussy? XD
but then again, his presence in the game was really overshadowed by the female counterparts.
his tank should be the hero
The only reason the ps3 list isn't better is because FFVII hasn't been remade, and because a few other games have yet to be released....
anon...please explain you're reason for posting this...explain why you say such distasteful words torwards me...if you can't, dont post at all...
tl;dr: prove to me that what i said should not be taken into consideration...
uhhh, welkin is right there, 3rd from the left on the bottom, and he deserves to be there
oh wow...i didn't notice him there...doesnt really look like him from far...
...
i apologize for what i wrote above...if it offended any of you guys...
Wii, PS3, 360, Xbox, PS2, PSP, DS, PSX, N64, Saturn, Mega Drive, SNES, NES, Atari XE, GBA, GBC, GB, PC owner here. And I'd choose 360 over PS3 any day. But what the hell do I know. I'm just a gaming noob...
basic trolling technique, being obviously biased in terms of selections in the two camp.
(still think Bayonetta should be in the 360 camp since she's too badass to be missing out)
topic reads as HEROES not HEROINES
topic: SEXISM
HERO is sexually ambiguous. HEROIN is a drug.
srsly, who cares about male heroes anyway?
I think you fail basic English. The feminine form for Hero is HeroinE. You are missing the E. There is nothing sexually ambiguous about it. If the person is a male, he is a hero. If the person is a female, she's a heroine.
Why is there no Master Chief?
cause this site is a PS fanboy site.. and considering only Grand theft outsells halo, they had to leave him off.
XBOX 360 HEROES '09
reading is good for you
If you ask me, I think the Rookie is more badass. He is a normal guy with no enhancements or energy shielding of any kind and he still managed to survive one Covenant patrol after another in New Mambosa.
Probably because nobody cares anymore about him.
that too
Master chef? Whats next? Cooking Mama?
Man you stupid?
it's Chief man, do something about your eyes.
I think they are rotten, just like you
I don't know, but I kinda like the idea of Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 being an Iron Chef.
that dragon-dog-bird-thing wins
Huh...I didn't know Chaos;Head came out on the 360. Weird.
Noah, Chaos;Head Noah.
Takumi > All
YEAH takumi have god power and his personal harem
is soooo cool
if only he doesn't makes you want to beat some sense into him at the first 2/3 of the game...
whats this another bullshit comparison? i guess it is. well go to it fanboys.
Was about to write some long post about how the 360 has cool heroes too and how the comparison was biased.
But then remembered this was Sankaku and i come here to get trolled.
no no, go ahead
people will troll you either way
so you might as well speak your shit and run
So PS3 gets heroes from games not released yet, games not released in 2009, heroes that are derivative of other heroes, and heroes that are multiplatform.
That seems fair.
Bleh, doesnt matter, both are fail. Heroines are faaaaar better.
I like the Xbox360 heroes more. Honestly. I'm tired of the overtly "tough and manly" stereotype of males in US games these days, and I'd even accept faggots like Takumi because they don't try to force testosterone down my throat.
Pffff... Manly? Tough? They need to learn from Kenshiro to be badass... those noobs...
Only person I see on the Xbox side thats epic is Takumi and LOL at gay green buzz lighter man on XBOX side.
360's heroes look refreshing. There's actually variety. The PS3 heroes look so bland.
Really? To me all looks so bland.
While the creators of the xbox image are trolling a bit, 2009 was not really the best year for 360 exclusives, it is true.
tomoya okazaki = 360 win
Amen
I say Gordon Freeman is the greatest hero of all video games ever. period.
that you did
He won the title. It's the real deal. Anyways, we need a top 10 PC version instead
Gordon Freeman taught me that I should never piss off a Physicist.
eh I'm just going to bring up the fact since this has turned into a console wars. Name one damn thing sony developed on its own for the game industry and you can't say the Playstation franchise cause that was created do to nintendo screwing over Sony and you can't say dual shock cause well they didn't invent it.
HD TV we need those for gamming
http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/company/10631.html
you just got owned
well, Sony published a few great Level 5 games (Dark Chronicle/Cloud 2)
and Blu-ray (like it or not) will eventually replace DVDs
PS3 heroes need more borwn and bloom if thatis at all possible
I love how rediculously biased the hero selections are.
Sack-boy and Welkin are awesome! Otherwise not so great.
Why is the generic knight from Demon's Souls on the PS3 side?
He isn't even a real character in-game.
kratos gg +LBP gg game over
its just not a fair comparison
I don't see Louis in XBOX 360. PEELZ HERE!
The image was made by Japanese people. Notice the GoW and Mass Effect imagery. GoW came out in 2008 in the west, so it wouldn't be on a western 2009 mashup. ME1 came out in Japan this year, Commander Shepard is representing the first game in this case, not the second.
Please dearly note that GOW Just recently was re-made and released in NA in the last week. And if my math isn't work, I'm sure last week was part of the 2009 year.
im not the only one who see's a man in a dress in the 360 heros am i?
OKAMA 360
nintendo hero's are only popular and very likable, but it doesn't change the fact they would get ROFLSTOMPED by almost any hero of both the other two consoles
Mario is an old over-weight man who can do backflips 20 feet into the air, link can shoot lasers from his friggen sword and reflect or defend against anything with his mirror shield, plus come back to life if he has enough fairies in bottles, and samus doesn't even need a description of why she's awesome. Honestly heroes can only be considered powerful by standards in their own world, trying to argue 'snake vs. link' (or some such) is stupid because if they were in each others world neither one of them would be any use what-so-ever.
Aren't they all in the video game world? Or did I miss something? Sure, Zelda is one of the greatest games ever, but that doesn't take away the value of the now-overpopularized Sonic, for example.
They're all in their own video game world, it's not like all video games are set in the same world. And this is true, but the point is that you cannot compare how good a hero the characters are since they come from such differing games.
Link would be shit out of luck outside his world but Snake can go hand to hand, use pretty much any weapon, disarm, sneak, if Snake can kill giant robots/mechs (he can) he can handle himself anywhere.
Actually, I realise Snake and Link are bad examples since both of them have shown an ability to use whatever tool is given to them, link is able to use any weapon he finds as well, is able to hold his own in melee, has shown ability to sneak, disarm and avoid traps, and use magic; link has also defeated giant enemies certainly similar to robots, although obviously magically powered. Both link and snake are fairly similar honestly speaking, so they would probably both be fairly effective in each others worlds (if Link happens to be a master swordsman and an excellent archer as soon as he even touches his first sword or bow we can only assume he'll be proficient with fire-arms).
Still my point remains if I replace Link with Sonic, Snake simply is not fast enough to get through sonic stages, and Sonic has no stealth abilities what-so-ever. Or let's say Mario and Snake, Mario is pretty easy to spot and snake can't jump so freakishly high. Or Samus and Snake; Snake would never be able to fit through the morph ball tunnels, and Samus... she obviously has a problem too.
I could be stupid with you and ask you to think how snake would fair against an on-coming barrage of asteroids, or how the asteroids ships would sneak past the guards... or maybe even how well snake would do fighting Kefka, and how Terra, Locke and friends would do against Big Boss... or maybe even how well snake would do at commanding the Zerg Swarm or the Overmind would do anything what-so-ever... but I think I made my point well enough already.
As an archer I can say bows and firearms are completely different. In the 6 or 7 Zelda games i've played Link has never used his fists. Also, Link's "sneaking" would be completely useless against MGS enemies (no crawl, crouch, wall press, etc.) and Link uses primitive weapons, so of course he can use those but I doubt he would use a gun property (he wouldn't even know what it is) and "master swordsman" Raiden can deflect bullets if Link was such a "master swordsman" he wouldn't need a shield and have only like 3 moves with his sword. When did Link disarm somebody? Also, when I remove somebody from their respective world I assume the follow the laws of the new world (Ex. Magic wouldn't work anymore in a world without magic)
Solid Snake kicks all kinds of ass!
that's Old Snake
He's still solid to me, dammit!
MGS1 forever!
needs more bald space marines
You forgot the Powered Armor, the Bolter Rifles, the variety of wargear including chainswords, power sword, power fist, force weapons, heavy bolter, plasma rifle, lascannon, autocannon, Terminator armor, etc. etc.
And you also forgot the drop pods.
360 will win, only for takumi XD
YOU RRoD 360 BETA TESTERS FAGS SURE GOT TOLD.
360 HERO'S what ?
Snake's is mostly the hero in game of all time.
do you guys agree?
hes amazing than Halo or a guy from God of War.
Well, being better than someone from some FPS isnt a great deal in first place...
Though Snake can definitely teach Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher a few tricks of his own. Like knowing what is edible and what is not, and the virtues of hiding in a cardboard box.
how can they not put master chief in the xbox heroes, he kicks ass, not as hard as solid snake, but good enough
i dont see Old Snake in that picture D:
of course you do.
snow is a traitor.kick him out
Agreed Noctis should replace Snow on there at least hes loyal.
wow that 360 list sucks the only good one on that list is Commander Shepard.
So, I'm not the only one who thinks that one of the XBox "heroes" looks like a Buzzlightyear rip-off?
Only if I'm not the only one noticing 3/4 of the male PS3 "heroes" look like women.
You must be used to seeing some very butch women.
WTF? Where the hell is Ryu Hyabusa?
Instead they have that faggot rip-off wannabe from that shit game.
he is not an exclusive character for either consoles...
Where's the Valkyria Chronicles cast?
lower left
i mean third to the lower left
Everyone here sucks except me and Takumi.
+1 to you, at least we are sensible...
Metal Gear Solid rocks!
Metal Gear Solid is mostly the best game ever. than Xbox 360 game.
lol odst vs the god of war this shode be good
uh no. bad choice dude.
FUCK SOLID SNAKE!!!
SAM FISHER RULEZ!!!
Fuck you! did Sam Fishfeces fight > 4 metal gears in his carrer?
Sam fisher suck!
Snake is better than him because he is good at closer combat.
Better than Snake or not, Sam Fisher DOES NOT suck, mister.
has Sam Fisher taken down Metal Gears and scored hot foreign babes, while fighting bad guys who like to meow?
I need scissors 61.
And when's the last time Solid Snake snuck into a CIA building? Or sneak his way through enemy territory without a cupboard box?
yeah exactly.
Sam Fisher is weak.
Snake is better. hes mostly strong soldier than him.
Snow's playing for both teams isn't he?
nope, at least not Japan
the West will see the release on the PS3 and the 360
Kazuma!!!!
biased list is biased
meme is a meme
The anime character in the 360 heroes. the one in the uniform is from Chaos;Head though I only knew him because I have the visual novel and the anime itself.
If I'm not mistaken it's Chaos;Head Noah which is released on Xbox or maybe I am wrong?
Takumi > all
!!!
+1 to you and Antiweaboo, at least we are sensible...
Hey where is Master chief?
Kratos will be the one that kills them all XD
He's to gay
PS3 wins hands down, and no I'm not a PS3 fanboy
Yes you're :]
you're doing it wrong...
Master Chief and Solid Snake reign supreme. The Gears would chainsaw Mario.
Please don't put Master Chief and Snake in the same category. Master Chief isn't even a real character.
and neither is Snake.
Yeah, Snake is in one category, and Master Chef is in another, with Cooking Mama.
master Chief is Samus with no boobs and a penis
This article screams "I'm a Sony fanboooooooooooooy!!!"
Wait wait, hold the fuck up. Second one from the bottom right. It looks very... Virtual On-ish. Was there a Virtual On release for 360?
Yep, VOOT 5.66, yo!. It's downloadable via XBLA.
Pretty sure it came out on Live Arcade?
That alien-llama-looking character is a PS/3 hero?
Who is he and what game is he from?
(He's on the top row, second from the right.)
Nathan and Snake rules ^^
Artefact, you forgot them blocks from tetris!
everyone knows all heroes will get owned by the mighty power of ZERG!! and BUZZ LIGHT YEARMAN!!! plus solid snake as well
KE KE KE KE KE ...
No tits ?
Lame!
Sony can only compare to Microsoft, while Nintendo has to compare with Apple
Nintendo has a fairly easy opponent huh?
PS2 heroes > ( PS3 heroes + 360 heroes )
Epic sad is this conversation.
Fuck yeah Takumi!
Where's Okarin?
Commander Shepard looks better than that, he's a bloody model after all. Shit's biased.
They forgot Emon Five from Otomedius G on the XBOX side.
They left out all the correct heros out for the 360, I wonder if a PS3 fan made this comparison thingy..
Heroes?
Huh... my main hobby is gaming, second only to reading news about games, and I can only name 6 characters between them.
Im only familiar with 5 of the ps3 heros and 1 of the 360 one's lol.
Some stupid fan boys have no lives at all.
Where the Hell is Master Chief!!!!
