360 or PS3 for system link games ?

bigbilly50 · 25 Nov 2008 at 15:05

I have a 360 & PS3 - will shortly be getting one for the stepson to stop him pestering me all the time

. I was wondering which console has the better support for Systen Link (or networking together etc) ? Its something Ive never paid attention to before so not sure if most multiplayers game include it or not ?

Eg

Left for Dead - Looks like this has it ?
Gears Of War 1/2 ?
LBP ?
Motorstorm / Motorstorm Pacific Rift ?
Resistance ?

ta !

The Xbox has pretty good support generally for the games that allow it, I'm not sure I've seen too much of it on the PS3 however.

Not something I look at too often with Live and the PSN to be honest though. As even when I was living in a house with mates, we'd always set up a game online when we'd only be playing each other, even though the system link option was there.

I'd say Xbox as a guess.

Xbox at a guess as well.

Never used it but always notice the 'system link' option is few games.

To save guessing.

Cant find a PS3 one which kinda answers its own question.

Thanks - never thought of looking for a Wiki on it (and all other sites were blocked from work)

Thinking 360 might be the better bet (we're enjoying F4D split screen, would be even better on 2 TV's).

Cheers!

Online isnt an option in our case bud.

Doesn't involve an internet connection or subscription fee (on XBL at least).

I don't think the PS3 even supports this feature.

Really ? Thats a real shame - Pacific Rift would be (even more) awsome with this feature

I may be wrong... apparently it works with Resistance: Fall of Man in the single player campaign when played co-operatively.

Warhawk can be played on 8 machines all linked to gether for 32 player games, it also only requires 1 disk version to use it.

So does COD4 and id imagine COD W@W does. TBH there are probably a few PS3 games that support it (Id be suprised if a current multiplat game had support for 360 but not PS3 for example).

Of course the PS3 supports this. On almost every game i have played aswell. Instead its called a LAN/LAN Party.

Do you know if this includes Motorstorm and Pacific Rift mate ?

Had a look through the options on P.R last night but couldnt see anything (tho I could be looking in the wrong place)
