these new vids are really nice. can't wait for them to add the other ones.

DJ7134d ago

Like, an exponential improvement over the lame Euro-vids from a few months ago. The animation of the Cell BE fading into the video of the freeway is about the easiest explanation I've seen for that CPU.

They basically took the concepts of the old vids, tightened up the execution, and most importantly made them fun to watch.

Retard7133d ago

Actually wasn't bad... pretty neat, and funny. Someone has to flame the hell outa this though eventually.

Funky Town_TX7133d ago

How about showing games, online functions in detail, perifs, and killzone PS3. Cool vids, and great PR hype.

Why was HD-DVD shown as 30 gigs with 30 flowers, but BR @ 50 gigs with like 1 million flowers. It should have been 50 flowers. Like I thought some ppl can't add for themselves. Maybe the PS3 will have a calculater function also. NO ONE CAN OUT HYPE SONY.

VirtualGamer7133d ago (Edited 7133d ago )

The message of the video is to show that Sony is thinking about the future and allowing for far greater amount of space for developers to take advantage of to create worlds never seen or experienced before. That's not over hype, that's the truth, especially compared to what is available on other next gen consoles that only offer the status quo from last gen consoles in this regard.

You can argue that developers will never need the extra space but at least Sony has given developers the option on the PS3 where MS gave none. I would also point out that MS said that the PS3 would have no 1080p games.

Xbox's Director of the Game Technology Group, Scott Henson, had his doubts about Sony's claim that PS3 games will feature 'full HD' (1080p resolution): "I think 1080p, just to address that directly, will be basically impossible. I think if you talk to any developer they will tell you that they will not have a performing game at 1080p."

http://www.joystiq.com/2006...

I think he stated this for 2 reason. One they doubted that the hardware was capable of it and second that developers would want to take advantage of this capability even if it was. It appears to me that MS was wrong and is now scambling to say they can do 1080p as well but then explain it means a worse picture. LOL

So if MS was wrong about developers taking advantage of the PS3 capabilities to develope games in 1080p and the system has not even lauched yet are you so sure that developers will not take advantage of the extra storage capacity of Blu-Ray on the PS3 to deliver a gaming experience that is impossible on consoles only using DVD drives? Also don't give me this crap about using multiple DVD's to do the same thing when you XBox 360 fans complain about load times on a single disc. If you think those are bad then changing disk will kill you especially on open world games.

I know RFOM is using 16GB. While graphicly one can say there is no advantage but no one has played the entire game yet. How much gameplay will there be on this title? How much better can the story line be using the additional space? Even if RFOM does not offer anything more what about future games in one to 2 or 3 years time? Sony has given a platform to developers that is better then the old one in every area. Its now up to developers to find ways to harness all of this into new games creating new experiences for us gamers, something all gamers should encourage regardless of the platform they happen to support.

Funky Town_TX7133d ago (Edited 7133d ago )

Okay I said nothing about M$. I don't recall this in my post.

I just said Sony can only talk about what they have been talking about since e3 05. I want more info. I get the fact that BR is 1 million times bigger than anything on earth. I get the fact that the cell is the most powerfull CPU on the face of the earth. I get the fact that the RSX is 100 times more powerful than any GPU. WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE GAMING EXPERIENCE ASIDE FROM GRAPHICS AND HYPE.

1. Will every game have custome sound tracks.
2. Will there be cross game chatting
3. Can I stream music from a device while playing a game, while having other sound in that game.
4. Can I send game invite to friends playing other games.
5. can I message my friends from a PC.
The list goes on and on. I have a mind of my own. I just want Sony to answer my questions. Now since you guys are Playstation employees maybe you can answer them for me. I bet DJ will come up with the answers.

VirtualGamer7133d ago

Yes you never said anything aboout MS. As I was wrtting my response I was trying to head off arguments from the 360 fans.

Those are good questions and sorry I can't answer them. However looking for answers on a website set to promote the general capabilites and selling points of the PS3 is not really realistic.

You say you want to know about the gaming experience aside from graphics and hype. I suggest you read game reviews of completed games as well as wait until you can try the PS3 for yourself in a store or friends place. Then you can know for sure.

As far as your specific questions I would look to gaming sites like IGN etc, who now have a finished version of the system and soon will be doing reviews of complete games instead of just the demo's. As well I am sure they will let us know more about the online gaming experience, more about using the PS3 as a computer with Yellow Dog as the OS and how that all works etc.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle7d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk777d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde14d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy15d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12514d ago (Edited 14d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7716d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga16d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199215d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga15d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman15d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger15d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box16d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion15d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7216d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7515d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit15d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14916d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7716d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
