The Sony PS3 thread (apparently *still* obnoxious!)

[Roobarb]

Personally i think it should have been called the "Official Sony Fanboy Fear and Loathing Thread"

[Kronos]

Thread title is just a joke sheesh . I can't really see the PS3 not selling at least 1/3 of what the PS1 or PS2 sold in their lifespans, which would still be enough to be no1 let alone survive and that's just based on the games it plays. I admit that I was worried by the obviously fake trailers (I know Killzone wasn't even close to game engine!! ) of 2005 and hearing that the Nvidia card in the PS3 wasn't up to the ATI chip in the 360. But the gameplay trailers have come along so much, and yet the 360s graphical output for fast paced games hasn't really improved (Testdrive, Carbon, even Moto GP glitches on some aspects in replays etc) so I'm not worried about this being "teh f4Ll of teh s0nyZ" etc

RE:Gears of War Vs Resistance...are you crazy??? Can you not see the chugging and tearing when you pan your viewpoint, can't you see the difference in animation smoothness REGARDLESS of what is happening on screen? Gears of Wars has improved A LOT and is quite impressive (thinking of buying it if 360 doesn't sell actually) but if you think graphically it is up to Resistance .......

FPS is fine, if done well, saying "Oh no not another FPS" is ok for you but I counter with "Oh no, not another childish plinky plonky mario game gahhhh" Horses for courses FPS with not enough people online, ok now that IS *shit* I agree.

End of the day I bought all my last 4 consoles correctly for a specific game not fanboyism (WRC, Colin McRae 3, NFS Most Wanted, honestly can't remember the one I got my GC for but keeping it around for hope of a cheap copy of RE4 anyway) aslong as you like what you spent your money on then that's fine. If the premium 360 was £100 less would be worth it, if Wii was £100-125ish then it would be worth a punt, and I guess honestly £100-£150 less PS3 without Blu-Ray would have been a nice thing to offer too sure. 360 has good 3rd party support, but I would be worried that yet again Nintendo will die on its lack of 3rd party support especially over here.

It's sad to see a fanboy worry over the fact his #1 console of choice may be released with a component weaker than that of its opposition.

Worrying over a console you've not sunk a single penny into? whatever next.

[sponge]

Well seeing as it is the best of the "next gen" console (not that there are any others really ) about time we had a single thread for all things PS3 no?

So to kick off....

Resistance:Fall of man is looking smoother and smoother with each posted vid, this is probably going to be the one that sells it for me. So polished it shines through a lead door! Check out the Gamersday uploads on GT, the tell tale sign of well coded graphics is the lack of screen tear when rotating the viewpoint during action


Anyone know what's happening with that quirky little title we were teased with called "Afrika" ages ago??

Also anyone have PS3 specific vids for NFS:Carbon (the ones on GT are for the 360, and contrary to what everyone said there is still lag on the full retail copy of that game too )

Resistance. Ick. Shhhhh -Part of why I left that company was to avoid working on that game.

Unless there's some top secret unannounced feature to the RSX it is inferior
to the 360 GPU.

The Famitsu scores aren't too bad for launch games, I'm especially pleased that Ridge Racer 7 gets 36/40, since I've loved most of the other RR games for a while now.

WTF?

PS3 FTW in Obsak speak, I think. I'm unsure too.

I think he's saying he quite likes the look of that Wii sports bowling.

Nah, he's saying that he shagged your sister.

Or something.

[Marius]

Thats a review ?

Noooo. that is a link to an article that gives us the scores given by Famitsu, silly

So just a review of some assorted games rather than a full hardware launch review ?

Mhm, something like that. I was mostly interested in Resistance. It seems good but a bit overhyped, something the score perhaps reflects. I'm interested if the same thing will happen to GoW. But of course, it's a western FPS being reviewed in Japan, so in that regard perhaps 33/40 is not half bad, as Eurogamer pointed out?

It certainly is the best!

Those non-jerky games are my favourite type too!

ObSaK you should be propaganda manager of any selfrespecting dictatorship. Your name would mean gold.

Wii Tennis looked good on Gadget show last week, if Nintendo badger Sega into doing Virtua Tennis 3 on it......

Not worried personally, worried because I've gone from Outrun 2,Rallysport 2 and Colin McRea 4/5 ultra slick goodness to supposed next gen laggy rubbish which looks all the worse for its bloom lighting and HDR

If it was out in the shops today there would be one in my house now so that's not really an issue. The point was I was getting fed up with next gen stuff looking like games running on slightly under powered PCs for their requirements...whats the point in that *meh*

Nothing secret a 6 series chip did seam a bit mean for the specs, I'm guessing the polished titles just manage to make good use of Cell & RSX together.
