Great topic for a blog. I have thought about casual gamers vs. hardcore gamers also. I understand why someone wouldn't be excited about Gran Turismo 5, or a game like Demon Souls. I also understand, somewhat, what goes through the mind of a 'pixel counter' per say.

I agree! I am a launch 60G buyer and to this day I don't regret the purchase. The 60G version is different than even the 80G b/c version in that the 80G is ps2 software emulated whereas the 60G actually has the "emotion engine" chip installed in it. And all we heard was "the price is too high", well, there will never be an "emotion engine" chip installed in another PS box ever again. That, qnd the simple fact that my 60G Ps 3 is still ...
The PS3 is very relevant, imho. I imagine 20+ games released with this quality would confirm that!
These vids are superb!
I kike cod better, but for shooters, it's Killzone 2/3 allday!
Water effects are notoriously hard to render. But it adds so much immersion in games, developers really have to put a lot of time in developing it. This looks incredible!
Pc's are like car tires to me in the sense that a snow/dirt tire is great for loose road conditions ONLY, low profile hard rubber street tires are great for wet/dry pavement, ONLY. And like a p.c., all seasons can handle every condition, but doesn't excel at any of them. Seems to me that the ps4, and consoles in general, including the 360, are more specialized(low end street tire), and p.c's are more like a high end all season.
Killzone sf looks like another immersive masterpiece. Great job GG!
As a launch ps3 buyer, all I heard was how "the browser is a waste", "not needed", "works like c?@9", "sony's focus is off" etc... But I have been using the browser for literally years to watch streaming movies, download music to my hard drive, catch up on tv shows for free, and order pizza. I commented on this article because my 360 is slowly becoming as useful as my ps3 has been for a long time now. Back to ascension online...which is BOSS btw!
Just saying, but I have had "Papa Johns" website loaded in my bookmarks in my ps3's browser for over a year now, and have played games, ordered pizza, went back to games and/or whatever I was doing, and have gotten my delivery without getting off the couch a couple of times now. Nice that a web browser doesn't need apps.
My thoughts exactly. As a launch 60G Playstation 3 buyer, I cant recall a single moment where I, personally felt like it was inadequate. I remember coming home with it and playing motorstorm, resistance, oblivian, Madden '07, and Heavenly Sword was great. Also, using the web browser from launch was great. It might of felt that way to some, but not me.
I clicked on this article to find out if that was in it too... funny its not....
Superior game! Very "adult". A "must buy", imho.
As an early, launch ps3 buyer, I think I remember when this subject really took off was when Killzone 2 came out after the infamous e3 anouncment that the Killzone trailer was in game or what-not.. Even though the only person that said it, was not with Guerilla Games and admitted that he had little knowledge of what was being shown, so because of the superior, never seen before, stunning graphics that was shown, Killzone was put through the internet "wringer". Then after Killzone wa...
Very true. There are ps3 controllers exactly like the 360's on the market. Stop hating
Another reason to own a 7.1 audio system! The sound effects seem like they will be A showcase of this game! 7.1 Is PS3 exclusive, And is another reason I will get this game day one!
I've stated before that I am a gamer from way back, 77' magnovox days to be exact. Every time a new console was about to be released, I would be eagerly anticipating the "improved Graphics" the most. Story, gameplay And recently A.I. are becoming increasingly more important to me. But I still am most awed by the graphics.
This video/commercial Was very adult and spectacular! http://m.youtube.com/watch?...
Sorry it died! My launch 60G has Me worried too, these winter months are fine, its the summer months that get me worried. My system Is on at least 6+ hrs A day, And the fan gets faster every summer! I keep saying I will be proactive and do the thermal paste application to the cpu. This thing is A beast so far!
The writer needs to understand that Just because QD makes games like this, they dont give a .... what any other game designer wants to make. They are not trying to proclaim that "This is how all games should be", they just make their games and hope some gamers on earth play and appreciate their efforts. I am a "gamer" that does. You might not be.
