Is this the beginning of the end?
My PS3 arrived yesterday. I hooked it up and downloaded a bunch of PS3 demos last night. They look good. I mean GOOOD.
So begins chapter two of my console experiment. (Chapter one was an Xbox 360 last year.) I will write a more detailed review soon but I will say it again: this may be the beginning of the end of gaming as we have known it.
A PS3 with a keyboard, mouse, VOIP and internet play? And it plays BlueRay discs at 1080p?
As more and more games go cross-platform in order to reach an install base that justifies their production cost, I find myself asking a totally new question: which platform should I play it on?
For years that was clearly the PC but those lines are not so clear anymore. As consoles add PC features like free online play, hard drives and HD graphics and as PC's continue to struggle with virus', drivers and support issues... the mind wanders.
But not too far. Bioshock is due this month. As previous Irrational games System Shock2 and Thief were two of the best games ever, I know I will try Bioshock. The only question now is which platform I will buy it for -- PC, Xbox360 or PS3?
