What good is it to have next gen system when you can't enjoy it.
Come on people, If I am going to purchase a game system for $600 dollars it better do more than play games. Thankfully, the PS3 is also a HD movie player. If I am going to buy into the HD movie generation, I'm going to get a TV that is going to show those movies in their native format which is 1080p not yesterdays 720p.
When 1080p hits Walmart/Target price for high end tvs ($600 to $1000) then you know ...
but you let your anger get the best of you. I belong to that so called western civilation (U.S.) and I hate it when people Place Microsoft and Western Civilization together and assume we are all drones of Microsoft. I, and plenty of others over here, love other forms/genres of games - not just shooters. Unfortunately this day and age it is easy for immature people to access the internet and there are always dumb comments made.
It is a good trailer. Its also good to see any ...
Port implies that the developers have taken the game engine written for one console/PC and got it working (port it over to) on another. I believe they are using a completely new game engine for the PS3.
Just because a new car model may look similar on the outside from the old car model doesn't mean that the engine is the same or that it performs the same. Lets hope the new model, Ninja Gaiden, brand new engine can perform up to the hype.
Let us spit out the babble shall we. We've got people comparing games that are so far from being released it isn't funny (Killzone2 vs Halo3 - etc.). Obviously some people need to get a life. Its good that Xbox 360 people have some games to look foward too. However, No game can pawn another until it has proven itself out in the real world first. Some of these games have never been release ever in any form. Lets wait to get the games in the Hands of gamers before we start comparing who ...
One major point that was said in by Doug Lombardi was that Microsoft Alienated its gaming customers by only including DX10 in Vista.
Microsoft does have a dilemma. One one hand Xbox live like service is good. One the other hand we have Next Gen Gaming that is only possible on a Operating system that hasn't been widely accepted yet. Any time Microsoft adds Vista extras to a service it only alienates XP customers more. What is so funny about this is Microsoft is Super Vulnerab...
Was in favor of the PS3. It seemed the person who did this purposely set the Xbox 360 tv set to dark and the PS3 set to bright (resulted in the faded look. I believe the outside seemed more realistic on the PS3 than xbox 360. I usually find myself defending the PS3 in articles like this, but this time I find that this person seems to be favoring the PS3 in the line-up. I believe if you had a decent HDTV and HDTV recording ability (to preserve quality) and optimised the TV to match each co...
O.k. people. Lets get one thing straight. There is no such thing as a magical perfect no signal loss cable. If there were such a thing, cable and phone companies could run cable and phone lines for miles and miles with no data loss. Quality cable assures you of that. However, $99 is to steep for any cable. You can find companies (perhaps some of the no name ones as put in the article) that will produce a high quality cable using the same materials as the name brand cables.

The other factor is cost. Consoles are benefiting from the same technology that PCs are using. PS3 may not see an upgrade in power but its a good bet we will see a 45nm cell (reduces cost and power consumption) in 3 to 4 years. In 4 years I bet you can pick up a PS3 for $300. Why? because you can bet that Microsoft will release a new console in 5 years which will push the price down. So PC gaming would have to be a very big leap in gaming to justify the $1000 + expense of a computer. I ...
Developers have been adjusting gamplay of Characters/objects in PC games for years to counter lag. For instance, extend the length of an opening or adjust the speed of a certain move.
Of course, this could change the whole aspect of the games but it would not necessarily change the precision. Probably the real reason why VF5 doesn't have a online mode is because it would be totally different on the developement side and only marginally different on the gamer's side. That's ...
5 years.
the next cell and GPU is going to be tons faster, be able to pump out more textures, and probably have more memory than the PS3 or xbox 360. So much so that games you would probably have to have 2 different versions one optimized for each PS3 and PS4, xbox 360/ xbox whatever, which would get expensive for developers. With such a demand for Next Gen gaming and the need for more space I wonder if you could fit 2 different versions of a game on a 50GB. I know a lot of th...
That ever graced consoles. Why they complain and whine other studios are pumping out quality games with motion control. As for the PS3 bashing comment well....... EA has been known to bash the PS3 so that was a cheap shot since the article wasn't really pointing specifically to PS3.
However, EA still a whiner. As more and more companies actual start to jump on the PS3 bandwagon and start learn PS3fu they will become masters.
Let go of the hatred EA. Let the fo...
They can lower their prices and give away their movies all they want but the real issue is not the consoles or players it is the TVs. Most people won't spend more than $800 on a TV. Until HDTV at 1080p comes down to the $800 $1000 range at tv sizes of 32" to 40" average person is going to wait it out. I bought my 480p 36" tv 6 years ago for $800 and it even had a discount so I got it for less than that. Been happy with it and has a great picture. When a decent 36"-42&...
I will be impress considering Highend PCs don't do 8 hdtvs and generally to output different screens PCs generally offer more than one dvi/hdmi out - xbox 360 only has the one component cable. Be nice to see how that is achieved on xbox 360 especially with only one component out.
Gamespot has gone downhill over the past year. With all the crappy game news site that also rate games these days a good fair rating "free" game rating site is still up for grabs. Especially one that is not so blantantly one sided toward a genre or console.
I will pick it up to try it when it comes out. I have always like the mouse over an analog stick but there are times the Keyboard seems to get in the way or could be countered with a good menu system and fewer buttons.
This looks like a good cross between the two and has a coolness factor to it. From the explanation I got it sounds like this can be used for any game, since it just translates PS3 controller moves, and not just games that support mouse. I would like to know h...
I just want to say that it takes time for Developers even first party developers to push the limits of a system. I'm sure based on how well done this game was thoughtout that there will be a Motorstorm 2. I'm sure by then new ideas more tracks improved graphics will continue and will probably take more Space on the Blu-ray to do it and push the graphics on the PS3 even futher. After all, this is a first generation game for the PS3.
Kameo had an inconsistent feel to it. The character animation and visuals didn't seem match the background visuals or animations in quality (which the background seemed too cartoony almost Zelda Wind Waker like but not as good). Not only that but the developer hyped the control scheme which I thought sucked. If R&C adhere to the past control scheme it will do circles around Kameo and from what I've seen so far pics, for PS3 R&C give a better consistancy all around and look loads be...
First before I go on, I am going to agree that a game no matter how good looking needs to be entertaining. I also agree that a game can be fun at a lower resolution as well as higher resolution.....
Now, here is the thought you need to chew on - which consoles PS3 or Xbox 360 would be more powerful than the Wii at the same resolution as the Wii.....
Think really hard.... answer ..... both the PS3 and xbox 360 can still do circles around the Wii.

Sony had to have a way out until the settlement or court ruling was decided. Always assume that you don't have something legally before you actually do. (unlike Apple's CEO Steve Jobs - who shouldn' have assumed iPhone name was legally taken care of before he got up on stage and announce iPhone would be the name of the new ipod/cellphone)
Sony would have taken a worst beating (both in wallet and media) had they went ahead and stubbornly put rumble or force feedback in the PS3....
Most social news sites start with links to regular news sites then allow people to share their insights. Sometimes its comical, other times it turns in a flame war, every now and then a good discussion comes around, and even some education can come from social news sites (I've picked up a few programming/web developement info from Digg) . It is also good to see all the differences but importantly to see certain common ideas despite vast differences.
Most Social News Sites peo...
