PS3 is awesome! now give me my endorsement money so I can live a Fony life too!
funny, I thought sakaguchi was FROM squaresoft? what, now that he's got his own company you turn your back on him like he never existed.
so...what if Kojima made HIS own company? would you turn your back on him? wait...Kojima Productions.
this is how sony fans support their people: ditch them when they go out try make a name for themselves, instead of riding off of the success of a company that may or may not take their ideas into consideration.
the EDRAM was designed to be utilized for screen tiling, a technique that lets devs get by with limitations like memory constraints. so okay they could've put more than 10mb for the EDRAM, but I guess that's why 360 didn't launch at such a high price.
and then the frame buffer is sent through HANA to be upscaled. this is how it can get a game to run at 1280x720 4xMSAA and then upscale the the final render as it's being passed through to the the AV Out.

Game loads up. Fun begins. Startup screens and titles load up. Main screen lets you load a game save or start new. Saved data pinpoints certain variables (inventory, location, etc), then key data is read from the optical storage (or HDD, if installed to it)and the game picks up right where you left off.
As code is sorted through the game engine, the system's processors start to be programmed with the game's specific data (assets load, sounds get streamed). GPU provides the muscle ...
I think PS3 gamers have a rough time accepting that MS is here to stay. I want to a PS3 gamer muster all of his strength and knock out 360 all by himself. And if he isn't capable of doing so (afterall he has a PS3 which makes all the more righteous, right?), I want that person to gain something from his experience: that his prejudice doesn't give him any more power than the air he breathes in his efforts to speak so ill of whatever he is opposing.
To disagree with fact is admit...
To disagree with fact is admitting denial. Back you sh*t, don't just click disagree because I said something that made you unsure for a second. Or because the very thought i have something to say makes you feel like your console is in danger of being challenged.
I saw his pictures, and basically anything on the net. Never met him, so I'm sure I missed out on a great aquaintence. DreamCast was a good console. I played most of its good games, but I seriously think we need to not associate PR with what a console produces. Has any of us seen a car crash on the freeway? I'm sure we ALL have. Does that mean that we should ALL be associated with car crashes?
I guess if we're all drinking, sure:P
You don't go to n4g becuase you like games. You go there to spend time waiting for games that aren't out yet. And if there are more PS3 gamers than 360 gamers on this site logging in everyday...
Before you make outrageously inaccurate claims, do yourself a favor and get educated. You'd be surprised at how powerful the 360 truly is.
Afterall, we are talking symmetrical three core processor, housing 3x 3.2 ghz dual threaded "PowerPC 970" equivalent cores. 9.6ghz of speed, three physical cores, two hardware threads per core. That's hardly laughable, unless you're laughing to keep yourself from shivering at its might.
Plus there's Xenos, the universal sh...
I have:
Eternal Sonata (great story, battles are TEDIOUSLY UNINSPIRED)
"The best thing to say about this game is its use of cell shading, alhough the characters are SOOO puny and kidlike."
Enchanted Arms (good story, okay battles, GREAT graphics)
"This was the first rpg many of us bought, with the promise of something 'traditional' in its presentation. Not too much there."
Blue Dragon (great story, AWESOME ...
More than a remake of FF7, I wanna see FF8. And I don't care what anyone ever had to say about it, it had superior story graphics and characters to 7. Junction system let you tailor fit all stats of your character, and the draw system added DIFFICULTY since magic was a commodity. And NOT A SINGLE CHICK DIED! Well, no one that anybody cared about.
YOU HEAR ME?! SQUENIX!!! MAKE FF8 OVER AGAIN AND I'LL BUY 8 PS3s!!!!!
I think this is where PS3 will really shine. I mean, it's not like they've lost the alliances they once had. Even though Squenix admits its interest in 360 (a good thing for me, since i've always liked what they had to offer). All PS3 needs is some jPop inspired emo styled anime fruitboy-for-a-hero and a slew of manga-tized characters, each struggling with a past grudge, an uncertain future, a chick that dies, a bunch of quirky hermaphs, bosses that look like sea creatures, and a villian who ...
I was playing Gears a few days ago, and I know what you're talking about. I'm not comfortable either when I hear kids online. I mean, they're having fun too just like me. But they should have like AGE appropriate matches. Like limiting kids Live accounts to be able to host/join only "kid" level matches, eg peers.
Problem is, most kids keep their consoles in THEIR rooms. And they can create a fake-aged Windows Live ID to create a fake-aged gamertag, and have access to ...
...whoa! Just logged off of Gears, got my day's worth of REAL action. Came back to n4g...feeling disgusted by all these lame fanboys.
Well, time to log back into Gears! So long suckers.
What's a R:FoM?! Sounds like a PS3 equivalent to RRoD. Sh*t, and people ACTUALLY bought it?! I guess Sony dreams of Gears too, hoping that R:FoM could dare to compare.
...right.
I saw Wrong Turn 2 and was COMPLETELY disgusted! Something needs to be done about the violence in the media, but we cannot deny the protections aforded by our constitution. So the best solution is to get responsible and keep it away from the kids. I mean, I'm 23 and that movie creeped me out!
Personally, I grew up on Mortal Kombat Resident Evil and several other infamous games. But when you take the "fun" or "entertainment" out of a game/movie and leave the adu...
God of War was good. PoP Warrior Within was great. But I think gore guts and glory goes to Gears. And it's not family friendly, but damn those locusts need to die. They're trying to take over MY world?! Nope, not happening today! You get the saw, you damn dirty apes.
If both consoles had the minimum of 1gb of RAM (either Unified or split -with good reason- bewteen the processors), than we could see the REAL HD era. 360's 512mb GDDR3 + 10mb EDram will suffice for most of the games that we will see coming this gen.
PS3's choice of splitting the memory pool bewteen RSX and CellBE, and yet sharing the the task of rendering hinders it in that it should have unified as well. I mean, if you're going to tout CellBE/RSX as a COMBINED rendering setup, y...
And we have to give a lot of credit here to MS, since its pressing onward through the onslaught of PS3's mighty Sony brand, and coming through with a lot of great content. If developers didn't care for 360, then MS would have no chance at survival.
As long as there is developer interest, 360 will continue to add to this list.
I wish people had more sense. PS3 has its games. 360 has its games. If we make fools ourselves in the process of trying to matchup each console lineup, I think we've ultimately defined what a lame fanboy is. Buy your games and play them, and keep out of other's business. What should I care if PS3 has got good games on it, if I have good games too. And the only opinion a PS3 gamer will ever have of the opposing console's offerings is "Hmmm, not as good as my console's games". Well, t...
I have a lot of good games on my 360, but more than anything I want to see what Squeenix has to offer. I see this as their answer to the proven consumer interest in the Xbox 360. PS3 fans shouldn't be jealous...I mean they are FOAMING angry whenever they hear something like this. Listen guys, you have Sony on your side! What more could you want?! Let us 360 gamers have our party too!
