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

[LobsterMagnet]

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.

[Deblas]

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.

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.

[Itachi_y2k5]

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

[GLS]

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.

[Turkish-S]

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

[Aeon]

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.

[Roko]

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.

[LobsterMagnet]

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.

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

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

[Y]

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.
