Yeah, after watching Sony's press conference, it is quite impressive.

And the chip NVIDIA worked on is equal to twice the 6800.

Again, it's all hype for sure. I remember them saying PS2 would play Toy Story like games.

However, now they actually have some videos that are real-time that look pretty damn close

This is the only thing that matters:

Hey, looks kinda hot. Even the controller... though I haven't ever tried it so I dunno.

But where's the Linux console? They were even making one in the past, but it didn't work out. Pfft.

Killzone = OH MY ****ING GOD.

That was just... whoa.... either I'm easily impressed, or it really was that damned good. It was like watching Saving Private Ryan, only about twice as cool. God do I want to play that.

I'm just sad that the audio seemed to be slightly off sync with the video. It's really quite noticeable in the opening sequence. That, and the facial animations seemed just a tad exaggerated. Still... Jesus that was cool.

Holy crap, that looks amazing.

Yes, Killzone was the best of the games I thought.

It just damn well better play like that in the game, and end not being just this huge scripted scene that's real-time.

When I got home and saw the screenshots of the PS3, I crapped my pants. The system has 2 things that PSM guessed it would have. Wireless controllers and Slot-load CD (which are two things I really wanted it to have). I'm totally sold on it. The machine looks great, and with the backwards-compatibility, it'll be great. My only worry is that new Dual-Shock. It's.... interesting to say the least.

And about Square.... I'm shocked they are now working on things for the Xbox 360. Now, as long as they're new games, I could careless. Same goes for them working on Nintendo. But, I want, no demand that Final Fantasy games stay PlayStation exclusive games. Yea, I know, FFXI is going to Xbox (though I could careless, as it should have been named Final Fantasy Online) and know Gamecube had a FF. But still, I can pretend that my demanding will mean something right? =P

Oh! And Unreal 3 engine on PS3... It blew my mind. Only 2 months of work and it looks like THAT?! I can't believe it. 2 months and already looking that good... god I want a PS3 now.



I read this somewhere, don't remember where though. =\ Anywho, Bluetooth comes with the ability to handle up to 7 devices. If they limited it to 4 it'd just be a waste of time as it could technically still use 7. So they just left it at 7, though, IMO, that's an odd number. They should have tried to get it to 8. But hey, on the plus side, no more multi-tap needed for sports games anymore!



5 words: Final Fantasy VII Tech Demo.

I wondered why it reminds me of spiderman.



...MGS, GTA and FF8 were all on the PSX, not PS2.

Indeed.

Those screenshots do look excellent, but don't let yourself fall victim to Sony's marketing team. I'm always skeptical of ANY product without seeing the final piece in action myself. Clever wording can easily leave out important information which is covered by amazing screenshots. Screenshots that may not even look the same on the final system.

There is no such thing as a be-all-end all PC killing console - there is no such thing as a be-all-end all console killing PC. Market competition will always push one ahead of the other. Like I said, consoles usually win for a year until the PC market catches up and slaughters consoles for the next few years because they're so upgradable.

Bull**** aside, I still can't play an FPS, my favorite genre, on a console. For one the controls are always inferior to a keyboard and mouse, and it's just never as involving.

Oh, and one other thing. You realize this thing won't look so hot on a 720x480 blurry *** TV. Sure, it can do high resolution on an HDTV, but then you have to pay for an HDTV. Then you need some good speakers. Before you know it, the total cost is well into the thousands.

You know, with all this console hype, has anyone noticed that the 06 PC games will look just a good? *cough*UTK7*cough*
The Xbox 360 doesn't really wow me. If fact some of the game's screen shots look like they could be on an Xbox one. The PS3 is really compete with the PC into 2006 I think. Sony is going to loose so much for each console... As everyone knows I like the King of PC fan boys, but dang.. the PS 3 looks pretty good! If it can burn Blue Ray it's worth it for it's media capabilities alone!

Guys can't we stop turning every console thread into a "ha ha ha, I'm a PC fan boy who denouces all game consoles." A true gamer has both a gaming quality PC and a console.

I like the art in that shot. It has a very comic book yet real look to it.
