"given a reported 50%+ failure rate"

newsflash - sonyplaystation3istehbestest.c om reporing that the 360s failure rate is 50% doesnt mean its true lol.

the 360s failure rate is nowhere near that. it is not even anywhere near 10%. when microsoft announced the 3 year warranty it was because the failure rate had gone outside their acceptable limit. this acceptable limit is 3%, same for all consoles. so 3.0000001% is outside of this.

im not buying Playstation All Stars Battle Royale with Cheese Large Coke, doesnt interest me in the slightest, and while i can see his criticism, its not really a gamebreaker.

'Thrill Kill' was like this - 4 players in a room, and instead of losing health, you filled up your thrill kill meter by hitting people. when this was filled, you then had a short amount of time in which to grab an opponent for an instand kill, of which you could choose from 4 different ones. th...

being a long time GT fan who was seriously turned off by GT5, i hope they do/fix the following in GT5.

1. 60fps 100% of the time. if they add something that even drops that to 59fps, remove it.
2. Vsync 100% of the time, 0% screen tearing. like above.
3. drop all of the stupid "standard" (read: PS2) models.
4. drop all of the "standard" (read: PS2) tracks, re-build them from the ground up in HD.
5. cut the fat from the car ...

wont happen.

microsoft would pay the patent fees before allowing the 360 to be blocked from being imported. are you guys *that* stupid that you would think microsoft would refuse to pay if it meant the 360 couldnt be imported? epic lolz.

in other news, Microsoft just won an import ban against Motorolas android phones in the US:

@ChunkyLover53: "I just get the feeling by looking at your past comments that no matter what Microsoft does or doesn't do, you will hate their show."

yahtzee! this guy follows me around on here like a bad smell, replying to every post i make with pro-sony dribble.

to me, a PS3/360/wii/DS/PSP owner, Microsoft has had better E3 showings than sony for the last few years. like you said, Gears/kinect/forza/etc beat out trailers of already announced g...

why doesnt it look good?

microsoft have opened like 10+ new first party game development studios over the last 2-3 years, most of which havent released a game yet. why? because theyre working on them, and they dont announce games 3+ years in advance like sony do.

in fact, it is a fact that Microsoft actually now have MORE first party development studios than Sony. sony fans might want to say its not true, but its easily verified.

there still look to be smoke and mirrors in this LEAP product.

the entire thing works from a USB dongle that you place on your desk under your hands. so far so good.

it can track your movement. again, so far so good.

but now the problem - how can this thing that is UNDER your hands possible see what is ABOVE your hands? in their video, when it is showing 3d hand models on the screen replicating the users hands, how can it possibly be doing th...

N4PS3G will obviously say that Sony "wins" E3 even if all they show is a Barbie Horse Riding Adventures title for both PS3 and Vita, announce a PS3 price INCREASE, and then have dancing monkeys for the rest of the show.

in reality, Sonys show will most likely be filled with Vita stuff since they REALLY need to get that thing selling. they cant afford another few billion dollars in losses from another console. we'll see more trailers of already announced games th...

People seem to be overlooking the fact that Max Payne 3 is only on more than 1 disk on 360 because of the abundance of FMV cutscenes - it has 250 minutes of FMV cutscenes!

as you all should know, one hour of 720p video can take anywhere up to 7gb+ of space depending on compression and codecs etc....

epic lols are being had.

the PS4 will NOT use the Cell processor. there are a MULTITUDE of reasons why it wont - here are a few:

1. Intel, the creators of the Cell processor, ditched it and stopped R&D on it. If the people that MADE the cell dropped it for a more regular design, doesnt that say something?
2. The PS Vita doesnt use the Cell. With sony completely owning the Cell manufacturing plants, and the PSV being touted as a portable PS3, if th...

wow, 554x312 resolution confirmed!

seriously, any game will look good when taking a probably 2000x1200 render with 16xMSAA, downsampling it to 720p, and then resizing to pictures this small.

not saying it wont look good, but these pictures are no indication of what itll actually look like in 720p on our tvs.

"Starhawk comes across as a pretty clean-looking game, but one that also seems a little soft in its appearance. Looking at the framebuffer, native 720p resolution has been dropped in favour of a sub-HD presentation - 1152x640, or thereabouts"

Uh oh. Ps3 exclusive is sub-hd and still has framerate problems....who will be the first to now say that resolution doesn't matter?

We also had 2 huge expansion packs to gta iv that could be stand alone titles.

Honestly, i think Agent isn't coming out this generation, if at all. Yet to see a single screenshot or even find out what it's about, and how long ago was it announced, like 5 years? It's not happening.

im disappointed that they look to have removed the reticule bloom.

apart from that though, graphics and sound look/sound incredible.

@yesmynameissumo: "My point is there is ONE engine. It renders cutscenes and gameplay."

Lol

There is one engine, but that one engine can run multiple different LOD models, quality of textures, and assets. Alan wake was absolutely torn apart on here by the Sony faithful because it's in-engine cutscenes used far more detailed character models than those that you see "in game". Guess what? Uncharted 1,2,3 and the last of us all do the sam...

sounds awesome - a FREE second campaign that is added to every week! if 343 are anything like bungie, theyll be supporting this game for years, so we dont have to worry about this never seeing the light of day unlike some other games' promised dlc.

5149d ago 18 agree3 disagreeView comment

nice pre-rendered in-engine video using much higher LOD assets and higher resolution textures.

the game wont look anywhere remotely near this good when youre playing (and if its anything like Uncharted 2/3, i use the word "playing" in the loosest way possible), but never let the truth get in the way of a good N4PS3G circle jerk.

like with EVERY generation and every console apart from the wii, the new console will be aimed at getting the "hardcore" crowd for the first few years, then will move on to securing the casual crowd.

its nothing new, the 360 wasnt the first console to do it, and it will continue to happen for as long as consoles exist.

but yeah, the PS3 is definitely not going casual now, with such "hardcore" titles as Sorcery, Li...

sigh, yet another stupid "opinion" piece thats nothing more than sprouting the flavour of the week "xbox has no core games" dribble.

firstly, the xbox 360 has more "core" games than you can shake a stick at. did max payne 3 not just come out on the 360? minecraft? i guess skyrim isnt a "core" game now either? forza 4 mustnt be.

secondly, yes the PS3 has had more "core" exclusives in the last 12-18 months, but ...
