PS3 already have everything, games arriving and power already there. TVs and all features are welcome, all they help to reach new consumers and also improving funcionality. All perfect.
I played the demo today and it's true, camera is very bad, we can't change the view point, but all other stuff, gameplay and graphics are very very good.
At that time all planet will be playing PES 2008, for much features Fifa got, they keep missing the gameplay.
Folding@home is one project from Stanford University where each PS3 owner helps to fold/process proteins simulation hoping that will bring good help in finding solutions for cancer.
MS should buy from Sony the PS3 packs and offer one PS3 to each 360 current owner, then change is done.
I still use XP because necessary for my VS2005 and Vista isn't in my plans, Linux move is granted.
I played this demo on 360 and it's diferent FPS, simple and somewhat original the way we play it, except camera movements on this demo didn't work very well, maybe final release got it fixed. I believe this game will be a success with gameplay it already have. We got stars/points for spectacular shoots while jumping while shooting, etc... was nice surprise, the same I can't say about Bioshock demo, Bioschock is pretty but nothing fun on it.
I played Bioshock on 360 three days ago and I'm not impressed at all, its just one more FPS game with good physics and some other nice features, hardcore gamers will for sure be happy to play it for a while if they like the horror kind mixed with strange shooting. I liked the entrance scene where we need to swim till the lighthouse and all movie scenematics underwater, water is very well done, but this game is not in my buy list for sure.
But STRANGEHOLD demo is another story,...
Sales average:
360 = 56 K / month
PS3 = 70 K / month
this sales average proof PS3 is growing in UK and next two months will also be big for PS3, seems interesting when we check again this numbers after 3 months.
...
Christmas is time of joy, not to spend that happy hours crying over 360 red rings.
OH OH OH
With time people gets better knowledge of PS3 features while at same time strong game titles are getting out, next 2/3 years we should see PS3 replacing good space PS2 owns now in gamer's home leaving other systems behind.
PS3's features like PSP connectivity, Video on Demand, very low failure rate, joined with new Home Service to be launched this October (as also PES 2008 and GT5 Prologue get out) will glue gamers on PS3 world as never before super boosting sales worldwide.
...
Or ... this developer don't know how to code in PS3 ?
That's most probably, all planet knows the power of PS3, if he said that title was developed to 360 and "we don't know" how to port it to PS3 then it would be close to true for sure.
Lame.
GT5 Prologue will be out this October only, what you downloaded from PSN store is GT HD version.
GT5 Prologue will have 40 cars and 4 tracks (x2), will have on-line mode with 12 cars on-line.
And GT5 (the full game) will be out July 2008 as announced. Hope this ends with your confusion.
Dealing with that truck only shows the kid is very smart, of course that means he knows what's good and PS3 is only option. If he crashed the truck then x360 would probably be his choice.
Fortunately kids are getting smarter everyday :)
If Sony do something about the prices games are tagged then we could see much more console out there and games, consoles, all get sales boost.
Lair demo keeps missing.
Update: Yesterday I played Stranglehold demo (1.3 GB) on 360 and it's very good, good gameplay and physics, except the camera view, camera move bit slow and seems stuck, that's what they should fix, anyway this Stranglehold will be a hit in FPS/TPS gamers for sure.
But we can see players with graph quality closer to what we have on Virtua Tennis 3.
At first look, this list is missing some top titles,
GT5 Prologue (October 24)
PES 2008 (October)
while "Fifa 08" hit the shops last week of September, and not October as listed.
.
I downloaded GRAW2 demo from UK and Portuguese store, both shows error (8...) when start install, also new Lair trailer here shows corrupted data, only the Juiced 2 trailler works fine.
UPDATE: Confirmed, some european stores and/or servers have corrupted files, I'm not the only one to get the problem, meantime I got GRAW2 demo from US store and it works perfect. Great demo.
... already got his PS3 for F1 Champ.Edition, now he's thinking how to get one GT5 Prologue very fast. (Me too by the way).
