Time to call Sony on their BS

-CMG- · 2007-05-12 11:12:29

All I have heard from Sony for two years now is the CELL this and the CELL that. So much so I bought the hype expecting to see some great titles down the way but I am reviewing all of Sony's upcoming games and I am ready to call their marketing a pile of Bull Crap. Its all a bunch of marketing hype and BS to get people to buy a more expensive console while offering not a shred of proof of its superiority. I base my belief on the utter lack of footage by Sony of any upcoming games that are obviously far better looking graphically then the 360. I remember when M$ came out after the PS2 with all that smack talk they launched with tons of footage of all these fantastic looking games they later delivered on and even in the first 6 months of release the Xbox was so far superior in power to the PS2 that even crappy titles looked great (even if they were crap).So where is the PS3's holy grail? If its KillZone they would be showing the world. Heck we would be inundated with KZ2 footage but obviously they can't get that game to the point where they can even show a 15 sec clip of it in real time to show the world proof of smack talk that the PS3 is graphically superior to anything else. I know its only a few months after launch but where is the footage of the game to end all games?I go on record officially calling Sony at as BS on this one and having pulled another EmotionEngine scam. The PS3 will never be more than minimally better than the 360 in terms of graphics and only after a bazillion years like it took on the PS2 to get some stand out games out there.Sony is full of it. If I am wrong I will accept ownage but I think I am calling this one on the money.

I give damage control lesson, Monday to Friday, but do not think it will cost you little, you need a lot of work as it seems
One for free "yes you are right, i can't argue about anything you wrote, BUT PS3 has the almighty cell, when all the cell pipes are used, 30 8800GTX in hyper SLI will be destroyed by each of the 7 SPE's alone"
That was for free, the rest you have to pay to find out

I love my PS3, and believe Sony hypes things a bit to much too. Although the US Military uses Cell processors in there technoloy. So if a Government funded tool is similiar to a PS3s, thats pretty cool. Though if nothing comes out blowing other systems out of the water, I may not own a PS in the next generation. But I love some games out now, RFOM, Motorstorm, Elderscrolls, Tekken 5 DR. These games are all sick looking and are a blast to play. I hope Killzone has Motorstom like detailed explosions and landscapes. Parts flying in that game is insane.

[QUOTE="Teufelhuhn"]Cell is an incredibly powerful chip, and is the beginning of a new era of CPU design. Perhaps you shouldn't have inflated your expectations to unreasonable levels?xbox_daddy

Lies. I dont see Intel or AMD trying to implement Sony's SPE design. In fact Intel's new processors use an integrated cache which is much more efficient. Having no cache prediction also makes it very inefficient. The fact that the SPE's does not have access to system memory creates a huge bottleneck to the PPE, which is probably one of the reasons they chose using exotic XDR memory. One last thing I'll add is that the cell heavily relies on the compiler to provide branch prediction, which is a huge drawback becuase compilers have a hard time predictiing branch instructions compared to a microprocessor doing it in runtime. This means that precious clock cycles are wasted.

Having all of that also makes it expensive and not suitable for a gaming system that is already over priced. Even if they dropped the worst dual core desktop processor in there with branch prediction it would still cost more per unit than the cell or xenon does and it might not necessarily give them the results they want. The early stage learning curve would be better but it isn't like PC devs have figured out multiple core gaming either.
