Well, with the surprising news that Blacksite for the PS3 will not be receiving the same online features as its 360 counterpart, I find myself moving towards a boycott of all things Midway.

As a current freelance writer for a number of video game websites and a prominent member of a number of many gaming forums, I will be sure to spread the word that Midway should be completely ignored on the PS3 in all incarnations until it is able to bring the quality of its games up to par with releases on the other consoles.

Having only the barest minimum of features for multiplayer on the PS3, a system that has shown in both Resistance and Warhawk that multiplayer games have a high chance of success and are capable of a large amount of features, Blacksite is now doomed to mediocrity at best. It will be receiving a complete and total pan from me in every way, shape, and form.

Get your act together Midway.

How shocking...Some random person from God-knows-where comes here to announce that he's going to single-handedly destroy a gigantic American company because he didn't like the PS3 version of one game. Friendly word of advice: Buy an XBox 360.

I agree with you 50% BranWheatKillah.

Watch Blacksite not even sell 200,000 copies on the PS3. Then we'll see who's laughing.

Boycotting them is a little extreme. If they do the same with MK:*, on the other hand.....

One reason why Midway is doing that is because the PS3 is currently suffering from a chronic severity of self-inflicted wounds. Many people have spoken with their wallets because the system is ridiculously overpriced and has a severe lack of good titles, opting for the cheaper Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii instead. Sony's in a distant third right now in the console race as a result of their own stupidity and arrogance. If you want to blame somebody, blame Sony. Midway favored Microsoft for business reasons; their console is more affordable and has more games for it (not to mention more console owning customers too). And before you label me as a Sony basher (I'm not getting defensive here, just stating this because I've been accused of being one at Midway before), let me say this. I own a PS1, a PS2, and a PSP. With the exception of the PSP, I've really enjoyed the systems they've previously created. But facts are facts. Sony screwed up by overpricing the PS3 and forcing blu-ray down everyone's throats, and it's been biting them hard in the rear ever since. As a Sony console owner in the past, I'm very disappointed with how they've proceeded since the success of their first two home systems.
