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.

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.
LaZie made this...a long time ago.

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.Originally posted by: AssertnFailure

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.Originally posted by: TwisT

Yep, Killzone 2's the one I"m waiting for. Also the next GT.Originally posted by: -Sharingan-Kakashi-

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.

: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
