But first of all @ thewhoopimen
Every 1st and 2nd party dev for PS3 has learned how to work shaders on the SPU. Most 3rd parties have not, I'm not too sure about Konami though. I'm basically saying you are right. This is why I can play split screen co op of Resistance 2 with 50+ badguys shooting/running around at once with the graphics it does and not lag.

@ Murder Him
While personally, I don't think Heavenly Sword is THAT much of a graphical feat, the AI is where its...

Obviously don't know sh*t about hardware and just wants to piss me off. Congrats, you succeeded.

This is gonna be the 100th time saying this.

Xenon consists of:
3x PPU @ 3.4ghz each

Cell consists of:
1 PPU @ 3.4ghz
8 SPE's @ 3.4ghz

They use practically the same PPU, but beyond that, they are completely different. The Xenon has dual threading, the cell doesn't.

Think of it this way.
Xenon: 3 guys, jack of all trades but master of none, working then uses 2 hands to hand off/take more of a load at once, or even taki...

SoC was so much better than CS. I hope the engine has had a lot of bug fixes though. SoC was honestly life changing. I'm not even joking one bit. Just the environment..even with low graphics (that is a power demanding engine..cuz of the deferred rendering on high settings). I REALLY love the Oblivion Lost mod...I would hide in spots in the game..trying to pick of monsters, especially after those MAD CRAZY storms...ffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuck. That mod made me have trouble go through a second ...

PD is hard at work to make sure their game trumps it all. Shift sounds nice, but the dev team certainly don't have the years of knowledge that PD has. Not to mention all the ACCURATE data they have collected from each car, each engine, each part.

Mmmm competition...

I wouldn't doubt that they finally got a stable game running now. That alone is good enough.

but I love my big baby. <3. It looks so elegant next to all my other electronic devices with a gloss black finish..that other black "they" are using looks like a matte, giving it a "gray" look, which I don't like...

I really hope they announce BC for E3...I'll cry..and kiss people I dont know. Think about it, if they can make a slim at the same cost (if not less..cuz that WOULD be the logical thing to do..to finally make profit) they can add BC..am I right?...

I said in the pictures that were posted previously of Crysis, they look amazing, but in a practical sense, its no where near the level of Uncharted (I didn't say that specifically, but I implyed it by saying the Cry Engine 2 - 3 have horrible frame rate, animations, and ai when taking a load). I never said Uncharted was bad, on the contrary, the amount of animations, how fluid it transitions, not to mention the lack of model/animation clipping is outstanding. Idk, maybe I just worded it wrong...

Anyway, T Nova is correct, Crysis looks better...BUT, those pictures are well...pictures. You simply cannot (currently) achieve that photo realistic detail in game. The frame rate goes to complete sh*t. Uncharted on the other hand has a constant (or atleast close to constant) framerate, which is playable in all situations.

Another thing is that Crysis has sup par animations for the game. The physics is awesome for the engine, trees getting blown up, falling over what not, it's a...

Stfu and stop giving a damn if you "hate" the game, or if you think its a "movie". Mk? If you want MGS4 just buy a damn PS3.

Wanna come over to my place? I've got some nice pictures ;)..lmao...actually, I've got some bad ass abstracts I want to post up..I also want to put my new Green Screen at the new house I bought a try...Maybe I should start doin some photoshop/illustrator stuff again. Hmm...

But its their own damn fault. How stupid do you have to be Apogee?

MS fanboys are too retarded to realize that...

Also, that "PS3" logo at the end of the videos have been used to make the Playstation console more recognizable and easier to see when next to the 360 logo. Old logo is old.

IF you actually do have a ps3 (lol), linksys routers suck. You are going to have to open some ports on the firewall.

If you don't know how to open up ports on your router, go to
http://portforward.com/
and look up your model in the forwarding section.

Here is a link to the SCEA help page for ports.

With the Ps3 I may have to sit there and wait until the game installs or download and insta...

It was pro MS. I can tell you, it HAS shifted to pro PS3, but not saying it was previously pro MS is something else.

FFKid and Griff2 are pretty much spot on with the whole Linux/Unix thing, but when you came into the picture saying..

"I'm talking about the frameworks that make up the most popular OS's. Obviously Windows has a very complicated framework for a reason. It's going to be able to utilize your hardware a lot better than any Unix distro. And what does customization have to do with it, that's mere GUI. That's child's play coding."

First of all. The NT Framework i...

Yeah, it runs slower initially than NTFS, but it fragments a lot less causing a faster average in read/write speeds. Personally, I wish Apple would upgrade to Ext4.

An OS should be able to run on "crap hardware". And as for a Mac running on a "cruddy" computer, it CAN happen, just not well. It wont crash or anything, it will just run slow. It needs a decent GPU. Mac's desktop a long with basic process are done using the GPU, allowing the CPU to be used for more process intensive programs.

By the way, I'm a declared computer science major and has had to reformat my Windows distro's about 8 times total. I have never had to ...
