*****MAKE SURE YOU SCROLL TO THE VERY BOTTOM TO WATCH THE FF7 TECH DEMO*********

http://www.gamespot.com/news/2...eam_sonypress_e305.asx

This is ridiculous. The Killzone demo APPEARS to be real time, and looks absolutely stunning.

Yeah, killzone demo was most definatly the best of the bunch. Although is it just me or do I notice a trend with most of the PS3 games being FPS's featuring huge battles with hundreds of generic soldiers fighting against each other. Really does make me wonder what bungie is cooking up for halo 3 especially in that they have about a year to finish it up before PS3 is released since that's when it's supposed to be released in order to counter the PS3 launch.

wow, thats one kickass design.

If by "most", you mean "1", then you're correct.

....................

I don't like the new controller........ but it's really hard to come up with some thing better than the Dual Shock 2.

....................

FUCK. I don't want to buy another new console... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

i know, im just gonna go download every xbox game out there and pray i never hear the words "new console" again

what the, thats fucking ugly

its got Spiderman font as the logo and the controller is ugly

its just another gay scam to make us spent tones of muney

You may want to seriously do that, considering Microsoft has not touched the topic of whether or not the XBox 360 is backwards compatible. Anything for them bastards to get more money.

And, the PS3 Controller is seriously in need of remodelling and restructuring. The current PS2 DS Controller is perfect.

For the appearance of the PS3 I'll reserve my comments first. Remember when the PS2 first came out and people were complaining about it's deisgn? I hated it as well back then but now I think the PS2 looks great.

You're right about the Spider-man font however....... It struck me immediately when I saw the logo. The PS1 and PS2 logos were more unique.

i've always liked the ps2 design also with the ps1 i dont like to many curves

The new design looks cool, I think. But the controller looks like some crappy controller that MadKatz or someone would make. I like the DualShock 2 better.

whow looks badass. only like mentioned above the controler looks terrible.

Square is evil for showing such a great tech demo that will never see the light of a release [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]. I agree with every one else bout the controllers having a crappy design but the system itself looks pimp. Plus 3 different colors dunno which to choose.

nah, the controller looks decent. I think they just overdid it a lil bit with those two ends sticking out too far. Other then that, I think it's pretty good, considering the button placement and comfort for the hands with the design.

I counted at least three. First there was that new game from insomniac where all the soldiers were running around fighitng alien monsters, then there was incognito's warhawk which featured even more infantry action in the beginning, and of course the killzone demonstration rounded off things quite nicely in the generic soldiers category. Plus Xbox 360 had a few games as well that followed this theme with gears of war, call of duty 2, and Quake 4. I'm getting a bit tired of all the damn soldiers and the epically big battles that are trying to outdo each other

Warhawk is an aerial combat game, so scratch that off. Two games is not "most".

Update: none of the videos except the Unreal Engine 3 and some of EA's stuff were in real time.

Personally I don't like the design, especially the pad, which I'd have been happy had they kept the old PS2 pad style...the controller doesn't look comfortable to me, but I guess I won't find that out until it is released...

As long as its good for playing games then I'll be happy though, the FFVII demo looked amazing.

The reason the controller design is changed is because Sony is in the middle of a lawsuit regarding their Dual Shock controllers.

Really? Why is that?

wow i'm pretty cool with the design like i dont care much for those aspects but that controller looks pretty gay. It looks like their trying to take the XBOX style of controllers and i hated XBOX controllers...the curves are compeletly irrevelent.

The vibrational technology they used was apparently patented. They lost a $90+ million lawsuit and are currently appealing that verdict, so I assume they can't sell more Dualshocks until the litigation is resolved.

thats only for the motor system, not for the controller design though

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the reason they have that larger casing is to hold the different vibrational system.

How much do you think it's gonna be? I think it'll be like 400 dollars or more ... which I will probably never buy.

Above $400 wouldn't be marketable, in my opinion. This system is more than a year away. The prices for this hardware will be far more reasonable by the time they actually begin manufacturing it.

Well i have to wait and see.. I heard that Final Fantasy XI will be released to the new Xbox.. So then i wonder if they have stopped doing the FF-series exclusive to PS.. Or if they maybe are planning to switch console.. Also i heard that the GT series will go over to Xbox.. And those was the 2 main game-series that makes me buy PS.. If both switch to Xbox, i might as well..


Also i want to see what capabilitys they going to have for modding and chipping.. But if FF and GT-series remain at PS, it will be the console of my choise..

i think they will price it in the 300-350 range. i cant wait to get my hands on this machine...i heard the cell processor in it kills the x-box 360. i dont know much about technical stuff so i dont really know. i seen that killzone 2 demo and it looks crazy, and they say its gameplay and not cgi....wow sony ends up beating microsoft at E3 again imo.

Well Squaresoft's gotta release FFXII soon or else it's gonna look inferior to the PS3 demos/games.

Yep, Killzone 2's the one I"m waiting for. Also the next GT.

It isn't gameplay.

i was watching e3 live coverage on G4 and they were talking to one of the sony spokesmans and thats what he said. they asked him about 3 times if it was a cgi cinematic and he said it wasnt.

[23:51] <Mut[at]t[at]> KILLZONE 2 LOOKS AWESOME
[23:51] <Mut[at]t[at]> I FELT LIKE I WAS THE GUY WITH THE GUN
[23:51] <Mut[at]t[at]> GOING BAMBAMBAMBAM

---

He wasn't telling the truth.

:eng101:

more specificly, he avoided there questions, its how the game will be, in gameplay and ai and events, not gfx, it was a cg demo, EVERYthing that was shown on ps3 was prerendered, everything that was shown on xbox360, where games made on alpha devkits running on specializeds G5's, meaning they were running at only 30% power....xbox360 is gonna own, even if its power is lower than the ps3's

5) Summary

So normalising and apples to apples figures for the above total system spec for PS3 are,

PS3 vs X360

PS3 ~ 100 billion shader ops per second (<--RSX+CELL)
X360 = 67.2 billion shader ops per second (<--xCPU+xGPU (ati))

PS3 CELL 8*3.2GHz ~ 25.6 billlion shader ops per second
X360 xCPU 6*3.2~ 19.2 billion shader ops per second

PS3 ~ 51 billion dot products per second
X360 ~ 33.6 billion dot products per second

PS3 ~ 2 TFLOPS
X360 ~ 1+ TFLOPS

PS3 normalised total system + VRAM =412.5 MB (total 512)
X360 normalised total system + VRAM = 326 MB (total 512)

Not everything that was shown on the PS3 was pre-rendered. The stuff shown by Phil Harrison is in-engine, the Unreal Engine 3 demo and some of EA's stuff is also real engine footage.

dunno what the phil harrison thing is, but yeah the UE3 and EA stuff was realtime, sry, but i was more refering to the ps3 specific demos

this looks like gameplay, see for yourself

sorry but microsoft is done...gta on ps3 is going to release at the same time as halo 3 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

I think its all about the gameplay, but man when I 1st saw the PS3 I was like, is that a vcr?

i think it looks pretty cool, its almost just like the ps2 only rounded edges on some parts. the controllers are...ok, atleast they arent horrible like the x-box controllers.

dont diss controllers, its always a matter of taste

Read my last post - it isn't. No one *ever* says "This is a game engine running on the PS3." Because it isn't.

Huh? So?. People who have the xbox will get Halo3, people who have the ps3 will get GTA. And people like me, will get both.

youre missing the point, some people (a lot of people) will only buy 1 console, a deciding factor for a lot of people will be the games for each.

So pretty much they're even then. I'll be buying the xbox since I need Halo3 badly (ending purposes from the last game, and its a good game). And with GTA, Its just a good, popular game (thats all I know from that game).

for gta, i would rather w8 for pc version ( but im getting al three consoles )

Gta is boring and leaves you feeling acomplishmentless (I think I made that word up hahaha). The only way Gta will have any chance of being half as good as Halo 3 and other badass online games is if Gta goes online, making the game a masive multiplayer. Otherwise it will be the same ghetto shootin, pedestrian splatter game just as its predecessors.

Edit: Oh btw Sharingan-Kakashi, those controllers look horrendous. You must be retarted if you thing they look better than Xbox 360. And why does everyone still say the controllers for xbox are too big? Do they even make the original controllers anymore? The Xbox 360's controller is the same size as the current Controller S. So right now it looks like you better go get a third hand if you wanna use that controller effectively.

You might wanna look at the sales for GTA vs Halo. The whole point wasn't if YOU liked it but rather if more people like GTA than Halo.

I don't see why so many people think that Killzone is such a large leap from current that it must be pre-rendered. I'm not saying it isn't but claiming it looks too good to defend X-Box's "upgrade" might leave you disappointed I think.

I'm not saying that you guys are defending x-box but you might be, some people at my school were. *shrug* =)

P.S. Rubber duckies own x-box =P

Xbox is the most powerful gaming system out right now. Missed that detail, didn't you. Sarcasm is not your thing.

thank you jessper, theyre x-box fanboys and cant seem to grasp what i am saying because theyre so busy defending their soon to be dead console. btw san andreas outsold halo 2 in 2004 just so you know.

of course it outsold, there are more ps gamers than xb gamers, so a "it outsold" comparison isnt gonna cut it, cause it isnt objective

It is true X-BOX360 is the powerful gaming system out so far, just wait till the PS3 fully finishes. I also like the idea of the X-Box Live allowing you to download games onto your hardrive

people only buy ps3 because all there friends have it so they can borrow games they don't have, whats with the trend on playstations half the people who own one dont even have the games which are only sold for PS2

Okay, Halo Vs. GTA. I pick Halo, thats, that. Don't give us that shit of graphics, gameplay, and which one sold more. You pick a game, play it, and decide if you like it or not. People have different tastes.

dumbest. comment. ever. obviously a game needs good enough graphics and good gameplay to say if you like it or not. also, i doubt a shitty game would sell a lot of units.

deblas heres a question, WHY do u like halo if its not for graphics and gameplay?

EDIT: and sry to bring down crashes but PS3 will be around $500. i dunno if this was alrdy said but i did see the question b4...

link or your lying. i say $400 most.

Excuse me? I'm not sure I follow you here... I was talking about the 360, I'm assuming you are as well? The rubber duckie tech demo showed a practicly perfect physics chip for the PS3. I havn't seen anything along those lines for xbox 360, perhaps I missed them or they didn't show them?

But maybe you were putting that "fact" (xbox being most powerful system) out as proof that it would sell more? Regardless you should explain your self better =)

Itachi, do you have some studies or something to back up your claim or are you going from a limited set of test including only your friends?

Anyways, back to you people not understanding why GTA being a release title is very threatening to X-Box. If the main game for X-Box comming out at launch is Halo 2.5 and the Halo seires is selling less copies than the GTA seires, then we can assume that more people will buy a PS3 to get the GTA game with it than people will buy X-Box 360 to get Halo 2.5. If the PS3 sells more copies than the X-Box 360 then the xbox will not do as well and they will have less funding later and my end up not being able to continue in the console area. Not that this is probable (them stopping consoles) because Microsoft has enough money to throw at it until people buy it to survive. Otherwise they might have become the next sega.

even better, ps3 will have the ps2 launch price of just under 40000 yen , which is 370$ or even lower

I'm not a xbox fanboy, I have all three systems. So in reality I could play any game I want right now. I just choose to play xbox more because it offers the largest amount of time that I will be be hooked playing it with Xbox Live. Now now ghetto hoodlums dont get mad, but all Im saying is that gta will not sell as well as it did for the ps2 because:

1. If it is not online in any way it will be the exact same thing with a few added bonuses and better graphics.

2. If #1 is true then why would anyone want to pay around 400+ dollars (including the game) for just yet another sequel to gta.

I will be getting ps3 because of stuff like Killzone and such games because the graphics blow away 360's and ps3 will still have great games just like ps2 does. But Halo 2.5 or whatever will sell extremely well because of the new free live and because Halo is just an overall great game that can be upgraded infinite times.

^^ again, that was not realtime gameplay

sony says different. i hear the developers are real excited about that chip in the ps3, supposedly will be most realistic physics in a video game console. btw rockstar has said they are interested in making gta online (read that in psm,) why not on ps3? im not a big fan of video game consoles being all about online, i like playing with friends better...

LOL!. Who are you to say what's a dumb comment!! Obviouslyyour too stupid to not understand my post. Graphics are not that important, example: FF7. If you can't get over graphics then you will miss out on good games. I'll give an explanation of my post kay, for the kiddies. Again, you buy a game, play it, and decide whether you like it or not. Period. I like Halo, I hate GTA. When I said don't give us that shit of graphics, etc. I was talking to the people here who are arguing which is better. Get it now?

Don't start thinking you can be a smartass, cause your not. I like Halo for those exact same reasons. If you couldn't grasp what I meant with my first post. Then the quote above is for you too.


Any More Questions?

lol look at deblas trying to act like a big boy now. roflmao. youre contradicting yourself left and right, you do realize that right?

My first post wasn't for bashing GTA so you know, Its you and your so called IQ of whatever that misunderstood my post. But if you want to start a discussion, be my guest. Cause you will be burned to the ground. Your post as far as I'm concern is spam. That is, if you can tell me how I contradicted myself.

hmm, nice design looks cool.

Controller looks weirded out, but it should fit the hand nicely though, I hope.

lol deblas you make me chuckle with your stupidity.

*sigh* How many times am I gonna have to explain it to you. Allright, here we go, Again. I didn't make a statement about not caring about graphics idiot. I was saying (yet again) that people shouldn't compare Halo and GTA and decide which is better amongst the two,]meaning don't compare each other in terms of graphics and gameplay, and say Halo sucks, GTA owns, or the other way around because, People have different tastes!!! I cannot make my post any simpler!

ah i see you were having a gta vs halo discussion with yourself i guess, since no one was discussing which were better. we were contemplating which would push their console to sell more units.

jezuz fucking christ you still dont get it. we werent talking about what we liked more we were talking about what the consumers in general like.
like jessper said, "The whole point wasn't if YOU liked it but rather if more people like GTA than Halo"
now please shut the fuck up, youre just making yourself look more like an ass.

<YTheAlien> watching deblas and sharingan kakashi fight is like watching two kids with downs syndrome try to cut each other with rusty butter knives

hahaha y made me lol.

Discussion won, SK owned. Mission accomplished. Moving on.

yeah you so owned me deblas, im now emotionally scarred.

That is enough. We have already put our reasons of who was wrong and right and now its finished. Who was right, I don't know and I don't care, but I'm stopping this now. If this continues now, we'll be posting shit that will spam this thread.

YOU KNOW WHAT SPAMS???
YOOUUURRRRR MOTHERRRRRR~!!!!11ONE1!

I don't want to spam. That is why I said we should stop. So don't try bait posting me.

you know who takes the bait...
YOUR MOTHER WHEN SHE CHEWS ON MY WORM!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

edit: I OBJECT!! this is not spamming, it is flaming.

thread destroyed

edit:

http://img260.echo.cx/img260/1170/emotkraken1cq.gif

This ends now. If it continues, I will be banning you all for awhile. Samanosuke has been warned for spamming. Now all of you, knock it off and let this thread get back on topic.

I can't wait for GTA4 on PS3. Hope this time R* makes the game have graphics like Max Payne 2, or at least make it a little less cartoonish looking.

SK better shut the balls up thinking hes so much more intelligent then everybody. And BTW SK I was talking about halo vs gta IMO also. Way to go put words in my mouth.

Can't drop the argument even after a mod has stepped in. User has been warned.

GotWoot Moderator

well since you wont accept private messages moderator.....

If someone quotes me wrongly I'm gonna tell them about it. Stop being so uptight about everything. This place is a forum and at forums people have discussions (not arguments). Anyway I wasnt even the one Sharingan Kakashi was having a discussion with so why was I not aloud to talk about something. Stop "stepping in" unless people are screaming obscene profanities continuesly. You are seriously just wasting your time with this excessive moderator stuff, and it's ruining the only forum I enjoy posting on.

It doesn't matter if someone quotes you wrongly or flames you on 18 different posts. If a mod steps in tells everyone to drop the off topic bickering, everyone should stop. Don't bring up the argument again so you can get in your last word in because that'll provoke others to get their last word in. Try letting it go for once, be the bigger man. Now if you come back to this subject again, I'll warn you again.

Can PS2 controller be used for PS3?

i know sony is big on making everything backward compatible, so im thinking it would be able to. but thats just a guess.

How funny would that be if sony apes nintendo's connectivity idea with the PS3 and PSP and actually makes a profit from it. I would so laugh my ass off.

I figure that either it will or a 3rd party will make dual shock esqu ones that work for PS3. That is my hope at least because these controllers look retarded =)

link doesn't work.

Here's the real link, which is just speculation from some random japanese magazine anyway.

interesting...but i dont believe it until an official sony announcement or credible souce.

oops yeah, i screwed up my link, well what i was meaning here was expect the new system to cost a lot of dough.

I don't think so because PS3 is bluetooth powered, so that goes for the controllers as well.

then again, its sony [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] nobody knows what to expect...

"Gamespot.com is reporting that Ken Kutaragi, president of Sony Computer Entertainment, has disclosed in an interview that PlayStation 3 will natively run Linux. In fact, it will come bundled with it, if you purchase the HDD peripheral." From the article: "But while Linux would require a hard drive to run on, Kutaragi told Impress PC Watch, 'We're not going to equip [the PS3 with] a HDD by default, because no matter how much [capacity] we put in it, it won't be enough.' It was unclear whether he was referring to the previously known fact that the PS3 would not have an internal hard drive or whether he was indicating that the device would not come with the external 2.5-inch detachable HDD outlined in the specs revealed at E3."

Why does the PS3 look like a fucking scanner?!?!?!?!?!

any of u guys watched the E3 preview of all the systems? So far for me PS3 is in the lead in hardware
this is wat the said
PS3-no pre-playing available,wat it doesnt make up for beuty makes up in brawn pre view of killzone prerendered or no?according 2 sony wat u saw is wat ur gonna c in the game
Xbox 360-pre-play was available went against ps3 (i think doa vs killzone) it was killzone hands down
Revolution-no games available no controler either,but nintendo said u can download all the old school snes games and etc, nintendo was a tad behind in the race
in my books ps3 is the 1 2 look out for[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
