[QUOTE="Truth-slayer"][QUOTE="mis3ry"]Lol, every second thread is about the article :lol: Props to GameSpot, they finally said what everyone was already thinking.Nedemis
Link?

how can you link someone to the opinions of the mass public in stores across the nation?



well unless you are a mind reader claiming to know the opinions of the mass public across the nation is just as rediculous.

I agree that the article was useless if anything it discourages people from getting a system just by its title. People can make up their minds on their own. Fact is the xbox 360 had a less than steller launch period was more expensive than past consoles and actually had supply problems that plagued its first few months. Gamespot not once did an article about 10 things MS need to do to make people buy the 360 and its sales were lower in the same period. I'm not accusing GS of bias just feel they are jumping on the bash sony bandwagon now that most sites are jumping off and having a more positive outlook on the system. You know GS striving to be different and all.

as usual lemmings think one game will save them . the fact is no one game will make them win the console war. the playstation brand has multiple games that will attract people(ratchet, MGS4, DMC4 etc...). the fps genre is something the xboox brand is better at attracting because of the windows roots in pc gaming and the similarity to the pc architecture but  overall the playstation 3 has more games in more genres which will help it gain on the xbox brand. lemmings need to realize that although they may have very good games the lack of variety is what is holding back the system for instance beside the banzo sequal they have no quality pltformers annonced for their system while sony has the ratchet series which is aa to aaa not to mention LBP and naughty dog will most likely be making  new platformer in the near future maybe of the jak and daxter series or something brand new(not to mention nintendo has the god of platformer mario). the xbox brand has very good games but its lack of variety is whats stopping it from taking a signifigant lead in th console race race already we see the effect of bringing new ideas to the table which is what is fueling wii sales, what happens when sony starts to diversify??? which is already starting to happen with the development of next gen ratchet as well as LBP and games like heavenly sword and  games like eioght days.


Ms lack of variety is wasting the year head start they have had and very soon we will see both the wii and ps3 catch and surpass the 360 in sales I guarentee it. by mid 2008 and early 2009 both the wii and ps3 will pass the 360 in worlwide sales it is simply a matter of appealing to the laregest audience poosible which it is not doing althought their library is good it is not diverse enough to compete with sony and nintendo.

haha I can't believe people here are bashing dave perry thats sad......earthwork jim 1 and 2, mdk 1 and 2, not to mention sacrifice. all great games made by his company shiny. yeah they made the matrix game which was fun for a little while. It just got boring and derivitive which I think had more to do with the fact they were pushed to have the story and gameplay match up with the movie series which went downhill after the first anyway.

To me the TC seems to be taking a limted but correct amount of knowledge of pc architecure and developing and trying to apply it to the ps3. the fact is unless he has sat down with the tools for the system he really can't say what is advantage or disadvantage. he is entitled to his oipinion and is not wrong in his position if this were pc development where the cpu has little to do with graphics but the cell has already been stated to calculate data for the gpu by many dev that conventional pc were not able to do and can take a signifigant amount of the number crunching off the gpu to leave it with simply rendering the calculations the cell has done for it.

I'm not a tech guy and I don't claim to be but just from reaqding so many breakdowns of the hardware of both systems here on system wars and various websites it seems that although the TC does know what he is talking about in general his lack of hands on dev experience on the ps3 as well as the fact many devs still haven't broken down the pro and cons of its architecure make me believe his argument to be flawed but a good attempt anyway. maybe if he didn't come off as such a fanboy and people read his responses they would see that he does know what he is talking about in some respects.

I will say I don't think he has done any work for any major game studios if any at all though.

no price or charge has been announce so why is gamespot so quick to assume there must be one. I can see future downloads for the game maybe costing somethging but a reverse mode and time trial of a track already in the game with only a few minor changes well I see this as more of an appetizer, get people to download this then maybe have 2 or 3 tracks in the near future for a charge.

Not saying they won't charge for this but gamespot gives no proof or evidence to back up their speculation of a charge other than an assumption.

Doesnt really mattar becuase bungie will just show an amazing halo 3 demo/trailer.............

But i wouldnt mind seeing from sony a good comeback

theboxmike


not to change the topic but halo is not the be all end all series sure its sells amazingly well but its the one big series on the xbox(so far anyway gears looks to be the second when/if they make a sequel I/m leaning towards the former). It did not however push xboxs last gen and won't push the xbox name further this gen any ground MS makes up will be from new frnachises to the system. personally I feel the series is overhyped(notic I didn't say it sucked just overhyped especially halo 2, halo was amazing halo 2 was not that special besides it online features)

anyway for sony to complete the come back they need to show killzone 2 in a very big trailer(like 10+ minutes) or in playable form. show some gameplay of eight days. playable version of MGS4 and FFXIII as well as Drake's. show some more online games and features to show they are really putting effort into that. I feel that would be enough to go along with all the other 3rd party stuff thats going to be shown anyway. they don't have to win at e3 just have a very good showing. If they do what I said that would be aq good showing in my opinion.

[QUOTE="Citan_Uzuki"]Some people are acting like you will have to take streets to get around the world. its obvious that there will be hub areas separate for Shopping, Cinemas and such with some bigger than others depending on its purpose. Once a room is created I'm sure you will be using a menu of some sort to bring your character to that area. the 3d world is just a representation of the menus and such so it seem more social and interactive.... its smart. The fact the cell processor is really good for streming media shows the potential for sharing media over networks through you tv or stereo in your HOME is really a cool idea imagine. Imagine this you and your friends are getting together later for an online match(a footbal game for instance). A couple of your friends are working you can meet a couple of your friends by getting them to come to you house share a movie or some music while waiting for your buddy to get home when he gets home he pops online and goes to your HOME where you and your other friends are waiting to setup the game.Ontain
it's got more to do with home upstream bandwidth than the power of the cell. if the movies are on your hard drive how will you account for that limit? also will there be any DRM. i can't see them allowing you to stream movies to anyone freely. would it hurt sony's view against movie/music piracy?



The cell processor can compress and decompress video data very quickly I can see it being possible to compress the data and stream it to other ps3 who can decode the video very quickly so the data may not be as big as you think. so I'm sure  using its very quick ram to buffer the video you would think if it were a small number of people viewing the video I'm sure there would be a limit to how many people could view it at one time it would be possible. Remeber the cell was touted for its video and image processing abilities. using the ram as a buffer mean the file would not have to be stored on the viewers hardrive. This is mostly just speculation but if sony announced the feature there has to be some way they plan on implimenting it. whether on not it works well will be for us to see.

I don't think its a system seller by any means but its a nice little extra especially with it being free compared to live. If anything its more of a sign that sony is not being lazy and is pushing to really compete with the ps3, showing that they can do something the people can get behind and could potentiually if done right really make its online structure different from the comeptition and compelling for gamers and casuals alike.
