PlanetXbox360.com has compiled a list of 5 big Playstation 3 exclusives that they would like to see on Microsoft’s console.
The games in question are Uncharted 2, Little Big Planet, Killzone 2 , Metal Gear Solid 4 and God of War 3. Top of their list was God of War 3 with the website highlighting the fact that Microsoft’s console needed more games like God of War.
What are your views on this? Do you agree with the list that they have put up? They also think the Killzone franchise could gain a lot of fans if the game was developed for the 360 also. Share your opinions below.

Funny thing is, as soon as they got them, all of a sudden, the LBP being uncool would instantly stop..
All the PS3 hate is driven by the fact 360 owners are finally working out what they are missing out on..
Awww, too bad they’re all first party exclusives except for MGS4. Tough.
Morne
i compeletly disagree
these games are the made for ps3 not 360 and of course the graphics will be very poor because 360 still uses the dvd discs
and to say one more thing
i regret buying the 360 its boring and the graphics are poor
There’s more chance of the Halo trilogy being remastered in HD and released on the PS3 than there is of any of those coming to the 360!!! For a start they’re all first party apart from MGS4. That’s the beauty of spending millions of dollars on quality first party studios developing true platform exclusives, and not spending it on horse-armour and multiplatforms…
It’s going to get even worse for the Xbots in 2009 when you take the above 5 and add GT5, FF vs XIII, InFamous, MAG, Heavy Rain, DC Universe Online, The Agency, Team ICO project etc etc etc.
But I’m sure the Xbots will enjoy paying for downloadable content for their 2007/8 games instead…
Oooh, stop, stop you’re killing me - the next MGS is for an iPod touch and not for the 360? My sides hurt, please stop.
Oh how we will be crying in our milk cursing our foolishness as we sit there playing Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, Halo 3: Recon, Ninja Blade , Huxley, Halo Wars, Project Forza 3 and the various DLC. Oh how we wish we could direct a plush toy around a 2d platform game. Oh if only the 360 had such good games that managed to soar to the top of the charts (Ok the top 20).
Four are first party exclusives and the fifth, MGS4 is on a 54GB blu ray disk (which the technologically inferior XBOX360 can’t handle). Whats worse, Hideo Kojima said he would have preferred a larger capacity disk for the game. Pioneer have created a larger blu ray disk that can hold 400GB and can be read by current bly-ray players with a firmware upgrade. The more time that passes, the more dated the XBOX360 looks. The PS3 is future-proof for the next decade or so.
Both machines are awesome, though I’m beginning to think in 2- 3 years no one will be playing the 360 anymore. And to be fair I only go on Little Big Planet at the moment. Gears 2 was way to short and just not enough to do (thats a waste of £50 lol).
But to be fair the best two games of 09 is Tekken 6 and Resident Evil 5. And while all get to play on them so fan boys of both side, Quit your jibba jabba fools! And put your time in liking things hating only makes your hair grey.

Firstly, it’s a 50GB disk. Secondly, MGS4 single player takes up 30GB with the online component using about 3GB, making a total of 33GB for the full game, not 54GB. So it’s a fraction larger than the 3 disk 360 game Blue Dragon. Thirdly, it could easily be achieved on 360 using multiple disks (1 or 2 acts per disk). The main issue would be the cost of multiple disks (which is high), however in technical terms, it is definately possible on 360.
“Pioneer have created a larger blu ray disk that can hold 400GB and can be read by current bly-ray players with a firmware upgrade”
Which would mean very little for games. As I pointed out, MGS4 takes up 33GB, so there’s a huge amount of unused space on the disk. All the time, resources and cost required to produced MGS4 resulted in a game which didn’t fill a 50GB disk, so what chance is there that 400GB will ever be needed for a game on PS3? For that kind of capacity to be useful, Blu-ray will need to scale in terms of performance as well as capacity.
As it is, 400GB will be more useful for movies than for single games, however 100GB-200GB will be good for game/series PS3 compilations.
Hence this hardly makes the PS3 future proof in this respect. Don’t get me wrong, it’s really great to have all that capacity on ONE disk, but that doesn’t mean bigger games (cost, time and resources are the main issues), and given the relatively slow speed of Blu-ray (slower than the DVD drive in the 360), it doesn’t really help much for single PS3 games.
Sorry to sound negative, because the PS3 is a superb console, but too many gamers appear to have exaggerated ideas of what Blu-ray brings to gaming and what it can do for the PS3.
