Where is the power of the CELL that Sony is bragging about?????

4D graphics 120fps, will there ever be a game made like that in the very very very near future?

4d? i dont think the ps3 can controll time...or can it?

cell is new and no one knows how to use him. they need to get down and figure out what he can really do.

Get down, Sony. Get down.

Anyway, by 4D they mean that game elements will be progressively evolving through time. Not just swapping out one texture for another but having the texture actually react to the elements, such as rain, fire, etc.

I'm not sure how it all works, but it sounds pretty exciting.

the only problem is that the ps3 has 256mb of xdr ram and another 256gddr3 vram together which is 512mbs of ram you couldn't really expect to do 120fps with 512 mbs of ram mayb if it had 2gb of ram. and the os takes up some of that ram as well that is what i think is really holding the ps3 back. i wouldn,t mind paying 50-75 bucks 4 like a ram upgrade if it would mean better load times, steadier frame rates and more enemies on screen.

yes. but its going to be within the next 2-4 years before that starts happening. Folding@home is a example of the cell technology.

and all of us with ps3s now would have to buy new ps3s for games that needed more than 512 ram. That would suck.
