ok folks

definition of a cpu duel core.
Dual-core refers to a CPU that includes two complete execution cores per physical processor. It has combined two processors and their caches and cache controllers onto a single integrated circuit (silicon chip). Dual-core processors are well-suited for multitasking environments because there are two complete execution cores instead of one, each with an independent interface to the frontside bus. Since each core has its own cache, the ...

a flop is when a game is hyped to extremes and one sells baddly or 2 is so buggy its not worth playing

this game has not been hyped very much if at all
nor is it beaing marketed to the unwashed masses
yes i mean america

its being marketed where people have other ideas of a good time them shooting things and saing f u n00b
this game wont be a flop because it isnt hiding anything it is a camera sim it is relaxing and it is a graphical showcase

im not likly to enjoy a game if it requires more then a very very passing knowedge in its subject matter

if too human explains who all the gods are and whats there purpose and why a valkrie reses you and such then good
if not an you get a picture of a mechanical angel saying come on time to fight again

with no explanation of what it is or why its important it will turn me off the game regardless of what else

@toughname

sorry halo 3 doesnt really inovate much halo did inovate some

as for epic yes its 'epic' in scale meaning its a big world
epic storys dont always equal good storys

if h4 isnt about the master chief it wont sell nearly as much

as for john117 himself corny lines and fancy armor does not a hero make

ill take sands of times monolaugues over chiefy anyday

and before you ask yes i have played it

it depends on your definition

ico is a masterpeice because of its stark simplicity it is a save the princess story but there no pile of weapons no hp no level is austre in its design

OoT is a masterpiece in the zelda arcs its the perfect example of zelda reinvisioned majoras mask and twilight princess both mimic OoTs wow factor

sotc made my jaw drop at the first colosos
in terms of wow factor knowing this was the first of many to fight

ok that was a waste of 3 minites of my time

however one intersting idea was mentioned

could we not have a 360/ps3thread with an agreed list of sites that are overly hostile biased

most sites are ok they lean one way or another

but this site and some others are gust a waste

if 512 chips are currently cheaper to buy then 256s
thell buy and use them

ps3 will still only use the 256 standard but in the future a trade up program or free upgrade or somethign could enable a firmware update to unlock the extra ram

but xdr is also uses elsewhere by other companys in cell systems

because not everyone canbe bought and forced to make additional sequals for a a game

crytec will lisence there engine but have no interest other then persuing there own ips

infinity ward will be starting pre production on cod6
it seems them and the other group alternate games whichis good for a franchise

gearbox are an ok developer
m$ would be better off spending 3-5 years on the background tech for 720 and make h4 a real killer game but t...

gearbox have so far denounced the rumor

everything else is speculation however going by m$ history a new console late 09 is possible

as to more ram
yes it would have been nice if they had 1gb shared (360)and 512 per
(ps3)

but its not gonan happen

pcs need more ram because of background processes and the way they work

ps2 had like 32 meg ram xbox had 64

jumping from 32/64 to 512 is a big jump and enough...

might i suggest that this entire issue be taken to the forums for civilized disscusion as both 360 and ps3 sides have valid merits to discuss

after all isnt that what n4g gamerzone is about sensible non biased discussion

.anyhow my comment.

I fully agree that microsofts 3rd console be it x3 or 720 or whatever will be techinaclly outstanding the 360s core design is no slouch
3 cores running 2 threads at 3.2.... ill take that anyday..

the guy left there employ.
and its highly unlikly mgs5 is anythign more then a few potential notes on the back of some paper

one line and your all asuming a release is immininet this isnt confirmed it isnt even roumoured

thats like saying ace 7 is confirmed because 'future games may be multi platform' by a employee..

if mgs5 comes out good im ahppy for oyu but its far far too soon to be posting any 'news'on it

they already said its not copyright in terms of legal things so no lawsuits

a copyrighted item in game means the copyright holder can decide how to distribute it

about 30%

nice to know theres a spare 75gflops lying around

and for those who dont know

have a google for cell acelerator board

its a pcie card with a cell on board IT IS NOT A GRAPHICS CARD

but it does have 1gb xdr and 4gb ddr2 on board its also not as fast closck speed wise as a ps3
it runs in at about 180gflops

ibm sony toshiba built cell from the ground up they didnt just take a duelcore and say toss in ...

i bet there as unhappy as the consumers

in additio nthos the points made above they neglected certain key parts of development like stress testing
most devices are run as long and as hard as they can be until the blow

microsoft knew there system was flawed and neglected to mention it
90 days was the original warenty they knew systems would fail but they didnt think they would go before this time

after so many they extended it to a year then 3 for rrod

if they had released at the ...
