You are correct about Ms showing games only this year Vs Sony showing some that come out early 2008 but remember this.
Last E3 (2006) Microsoft showed titles coming out in 2007.
Argument over but,
But in all reality, MS only had a certain alloted time and really needs no reason to show anything besides Halo 3.
Most people are sheep and will flock to their favorite product with no due reason besides it sharing the same name as the previo...
A console fan boy isn't nearly as bad as a trekkie. Trekkie actually dress the part, and beat up star wars fans.
A console fanboy also won't go past youtube.com videos. I have yet to see any outside a walmart 360/ps3 stand saying:
"You idiot, <insert console> is better. It has more features and is real gaming. F_ _ k the <Insert Console>, its poop when compared to the <Insert Console>."
When that happens, Jack Thompson ...
Perhaps they should release their own football(pigskin) game as well.
That would be awesome, and if they let other characters come into the universe would taste even better (Solid Snake, Sonic, Riggar)
Bowser would make an awesome offensive tackle and sonic would be an awesome running back. Yoshi, would make a awesome punt returner.
Well said.
Why cut the price when it is still cheaper than the main competition?
Pointless and goes against the Law of Supply and Demand.
If MS really wanted to show an Ace, they would make the games cheaper than the standard $59.99 for new titles and perhaps make the new standard at $49.99.
Heck, I wish Sony and Microsoft would lower that stupid 60 dollar standard for new games.
360 doesn't need a price cut. Its still cheaper.
Let alone halo 3 is a major console seller. If anything the 360 Elite needs the price cut.
They won't fail because 480i and 480p are being phased out(in US) and the government is requiring 720 to be the new standard by 2010 (? i think or 2012).
720 will be the new standard.
I doubt that will go far..Why?
Columbia=Tri-star=Sony classics=Part of MGM=All Sony.
Sony does a lot of stuff other than Electronics and video game consoles.
They make Movies and even have their own Music Label.
And this same commission failed at going after Microsoft for including Internet Explorer as part of Windows.(Browser Monopoly, since every windows user will have I.E.) Microsoft fought back just like in America and stated," ..Internet...
The war has started.... Recorders are out for Both formats. If you mean the price cut "battle" that has begun as well.
I will agree that I can't wait for the recorders to get way cheaper since I will be able to backup my whole hard drive on only 3-4 Blueray Disc.
Blu-ray players were in europe before the Playstation 3 launch. Don't Assume that all Blu-ray players are playstation 3's.
Yea I am still confused as well.
Blue ray has almost every movie that HDDVD has minus Universal Studio's movies and the Matrix (for now, coming to BR this fall).
I also thought with a such a fierce competition, that movies price would fall down. The only prices that got "Cut" were the Players...
Most High Definition movies still start at around 25$(average when compared to all places). Then you stack that against DVD which are now going even lower, at ne...
Hey home will be free however there is a big catch!
For free you get the bare basics, like maybe a couple options for a house and you live in a 1 bedroom apartment. "A bachelor's pad" or Section 8 housing.
For additional Cost you can get a bigger place and each game you buy will come with unique furniture/items (like new achievements).
I just hope they don't try and charge $4.00 for a lazyboy or ceiling fan. I also hope they incorporate a Eba...
Rockstar has more thant GTA. Granted the rest of the titles fall in the GTA shadow, they do make decent games and are probally the most innovative north american developer as well.
Do not hate what you do not understand.
I put my youngest on Ebay already...
As They say videogames don't pay for themselves.
Kids don't Either.
But
Selling Child(s) to pay for videogames is like hitting 2 birds with 1 stone.
By the way I am joking and i do not recommend anyone selling thier kids on Ebay or in Tijuana or in Shang Hai even its pawning them for a Halo on the DS or Duke Nukem Forever.
wow a 1 gig demo (compressed, so end file size is bigger than 1 gig).. Yet the demo lasted less than 5 minutes.
It took me over a hour to d/l for 5 minutes....:(
BUT.
Still better than nothing, So I guess we all shouldn't look a gifthorse in the mouth.
Not bad at all, but damn the demo is short. I expected a bit more to show...but it is better than nothing.
But can the 360 processors (minus the GPU on card) run graphics as well? It can handle what tasks will come next but it CAN NOT render real time graphics in which the Cell can.
And in the end its a 512 vs 512(256 + 256) + A Graphics handling processor.
The Split Ram does indeed make it harder for developers along with the extra processing cores. However like the above stated example with the hot rod vs the import car...
As Time goes by Developers ...
Negative. I followed the links and the details match.
This guy actually did the research, and you can see for yourself.
I did however looked passed the ".....100 million triangles" shanigans and looked at the meat of it. Well thought out post despite not being at the best of formats but it did have back up material.
Even if the ps3 is more powerful, the games still have yet to show for it.
"Comparison" in Non ...
They both have 512 Ram(GPU).
360 has it 1 = 512
Ps3 has it 2 chips= 256 + 256.
Split Ram + A main Processor that can render graphics.
-vs-
Whole Ram + Easy to develop software kits.
well said, but I think the excuse:
I was late because I left my head lights on last night draining my battery.
Translated:
[Tomb Raider] was late because [development for a game] for a [last generation system] that is nearly exhausted.
Awesome, perhaps we could blame povery because the ps3 cost 499?
Or perhaps some deceases are incurable because we haven't updated the last Vista software.
Genious.
the scene reminds me of the original movie DUNE.
I am sure Andy wants to get rid of his Smeegle reputation as much as Keanu Reeves wanted to with the Matrix and Bill and Tedds...
