1. Gameplay/online/AI
2. Graphics
i stopped caring about graphics after the i couldnt distingish a 360 game for a PS3 game. Gameplay/online/AI is most important right since there is a closing gap between graphical power between the 360.
"in order to find your data and effectively read it you need to find the correct position and spin the disc with the correct speed.
spinning too fast or too slow and you will read faulty data. So you not only have to move the Laser you also have to adjust the disc speed which isnt a very fast thing to do because of the discs momentum."
seeking would not be if there constant transfer speeds. which means everythign on the disc "should be" sequenced, ins...
generally load of the ps3 wont over 20% faster than or slower than the 360.
even tho dvd dont have a constant transfer rate, devs for the 360 bypassed this by putting the largest files on the outter rim of the disc and the smaller files on the inner rim of the dvd. this has been done on nearly all disc based games.
videogame graphics are at the point at where they arent going any better(unless they become photo realistic) when it comes down to. i wanna play a game that at leasts lasts about 4 weeks for $60-80 bucks. not 8-20 hours max.
"but that graphics have now reached a point where they are so good that developers must look elsewhere for the next big step forward."
this is not BS.
and second. yall need to read the cells white papers one more tim...
"Well hell yeah, they had 6 months extra to produce the games when Sony announced the PS3 got delayed, so I guess the launch games could be pumped up a bit!"
i thought sony had a delay in dev kits this past summer???
there is a visual difference between 30 frames per second and 60 frames per second.........
Sony only has to play those licensing fees when its one of sony's movie utilizing the VC-1 codec. Everyone else is free to chose....
head to head Bluray is better than HDDVD. read up they both have nearly the exact same feature except that bluray has higher storage and a constant tranfer speed, not to mention the inacticity feature that is boasts over HDDVD. BUT HDDVD has the BETTER codec.
look at this way, you have two canvas's. one with 30 threads/sq inch and one with 50 threads/sq inch. now some of you arent artists so i am going to tell you that 30 threads per sq inch is not pretty when you are piant a ...
the Bluray drive in the PS3 can still read DVD's
imm Bassa and Bassa only. i could give a Fly Fcuk bout imatate Ken or Bill Gates. im just tryin you get tha info to you. what when some posts links to back up there claims you run away like a lil b!tch?
You send all this time attacking a company that "lied" to you but youre are indorsing one of the most shietiest companies the world has EVEN seen. im glad sony its good at lyin, they want get the wool over my eyes from them. but M$ is a completely different story. They...
Real Deal
"Cell's streaming floating-point work is done on its seven DSP processors. Since geometry processing is moved to the GPU, the need for streaming floating-point work and other DSP style programming in games has dropped dramatically.
Sony's CPU is ideal for an environment where 12.5% of the work is general-purpose computing and 87.5% of the work is DSP calculations. That sort of mix makes sense for video playback or networked waveform analysis, but ...
Yo sorry to undercut yall like this but.....
Real Deal
"You are blatantly lying. Gamers. All you have to do is google the info. NJ will not show a link supporting that blu ray is faster because its an Outright lie. he does this often. Blu ray 2x is much much slower than 12x dvd9."
This is NO lie. i have currently installed a bluray drive in my computer and its diving Better performance than my old DVD Burner. Which this Bluray Burner ca...
"If Im wrong and they do need all this space to make graphics, level data, and programming code for HD content as suggested, then why doesn't this game blow away the current 360 games as far as graphics go that are also HD?"
1)because the PS3 is nearly all new tech to program for. its like switching music intruments. you have basic theory down but you wont be able to play it like the intrument you just switched from til you practice/ gain more experience. you can have...
"Schneider offered some distinguishing stats (which he called MTV News on Tuesday to further clarify). The game, he said, currently takes up 22 Gigabytes of memory on a Blu-Ray disc, the new disc format supported by the PS3 that is one-half of a VHS-vs.-Betamax format war erupting between tech companies throughout the year. While the music and vocals in "Resistance" take up only about 1 Gigabyte of disc space, graphics, level data and programming code occupy most of the remaini...

60% are Billion Dollar Companies
10% have MORE bank than Sony
if bluray does fail. it would be a dacade later
Transfer Rate/Recording Speed
Here is another advantage for Blu-ray resulting from the NA/Wavelength combination. Since this combination also affects the data density, Blu-ray requires a much lower rotation speed of the disc to reach the specified transfer rate of 36Mbps. A constant rotation speed of 10.000 RPM, which is the current upper limit for optical drives, will result in 12x BD but only 9x HD-DVD. This means that a HD-DVD must rotate faster to reach the same transfer ra...
"What do you tell the gamer who only buys 1 or 2 games a year. They don't have internet access and they want the new GTA game because thats their favorite game. Now keep in mind he works a regular 9 to 5 and makes just enoough to pay rent, car note, insurance, cable, and normal bills. In the past he has bought the consoles at 299 when they launched. A ps2 and a xbox. He has to save frantically just for him to buy those consoles when they launched. What do you tell this guy? What do you r...
im a Multiconsole fan, i dont real too much care for tha companies producing them for me but.....
you guys know as well as any other game does that NO game in the early making of a console is going to push what tha console was meant to push. there will be 1080p on both tha PS and 360 (wii, i dont know and dont really care cuz im not a child ne more) but those games wont be come out til next year. developers are still trying to "develop" games not make crap and put g...
if this did happen then MS Xbox360 would be anutha "PSZero". this and tha motion sensing addition to tha 360 controller are ludicrious. who's copying now? M$ has probably been startin these rumors themselves to spike and measure public reactions. they are the ones saying that anything more than a DVD for game is unnescessary but they are incorporating a HDDVD drive in tha 360? i wounder wut for? it cant be because it only for movies because the addon would safice for that....MS is f...
It's all on programming environment, online service
TheMart i cant argue with this. this is something that sony dont have like MS. not even close. that online maybe free but it will still be second to XBL premium
