im just stating facts
if ps3 is capable of 120fps why has it like everything else struggled to to reach over 60 fps
PS3 version of Modern Warfare 2 struggled to reach 60fps slipping down to around 50 fps and thats not in so called HD (600P)
my understanding is that both source and display use there own very different fps
-The display (monitor/lcd etc)
As digital tv's display can only be on and off (like binary) the faster the display turns on and off the more it appears clear - the more hz the more stable the picture (more flashing but faster - less obvious to the human eye)
-Source
fps in a pc/console sense refers to the amount of frames the hardware can handle without being sluggish and un...
Im confused, are we talking about a game that can handle 120 fps or are we talking about a game optimised for 120 hz tvs which is completely different.
Im assuming the latter i think this is Sony releasing games to be compatible with 3d tvs (60hz + 60hz) - which will require most people to purchase a new tv.
Unless we are talking about a 2d PSN game there is no way a hi-res 3d title with lighting and shadow effects can run 120fps on the ps3.
Can anyone explain to me how this news can be used as ammunition against the 360?
First of all it states you can flip the disc over to be able to watch blu-rays on a dvd player (xbox 360)
Secondly why do a large percentage of PS3 owners commenting on this site believe the PS3 is the only blu-ray device in the world and any positive blu-ray news is instantly an attack on the 360. I'm sure like me there is loads of 360 owners who have a seperate blu-ray player.

The majority of Sony's demo displayed a mirror image and not 1st person...why?
yeah it looked pretty cool holding a tennis racket and stuff but looked pretty lame when it reverted back to 1st person specially with the whip
And Sony hasn't copied from anyone so far this console generation.
I hope you love your video rentals and trophies
This debate cant be for real, its like saying whats more revolutionary internet or wireless internet.
Sony unveils a wand that has motion sensor capabilities (very similar to the wii-mote) just after MS demo'd motion sensor hardware without the need for peripherals!!!!
and dont even bother saying this is identical to the eye-toy. if your gonna compare eye-toy with anything compare it to 'your in the movies (inc webcam)' which is a spin off. Anyone who has seen the de...
what annoys me is the fact that blu-ray has taken most of the blame for the ps3's high pricing. This makes no sense to me as most standalone blu-ray players in the uk have had a price drop of over £150 in the last 6 months. So if blu-ray drives and media are becoming cheaper why hasn't the ps3 made some price drop to reflect this?
to be fair you get my vote on that comment!
24 hrs of commercial's and walking around filming celebs shag-pile carpets dosent give you the right to moan about gaming decisions. if i owned MTV i would stick to what you know best spending money on filth and malt wiskey.
yes well done sony who are in a fortunate state that they can lose money for every console that they sell and still be in operation.
i agree to an extent but isn't this slightly different this generation to what we experienced before?
capcom, namco to name just two made the ps2 what it is! resident evil series, tekken & soul caliber are owned by 3rd party devs/producers and they took a fancy to to the playstaion 1 + 2 branding.
as a 360 owner i couldn't give a monkies if all publishers just said sod it during this difficult time we will make games for all varieties of kit. there is so many gam...
why does everyone go crazy about exclusive's?
i own halo3 and gears of war which to be fair are good, not amazing (in my opinion)
whats wrong with a 3rd party game selling twice as many on your console of choice than the competitor i.e Call of Duty arguably the best series of games ever!
oh wait because its on all machines it means diddly squat
warning gamers!
i've been browsing through this site for kitchen staff employed by sony corporation and can honestly state the owners of 360, pc and 91.7 billion wii owners are no longer welcome here.
possibly due to hostility regarding the price they paid for there console or the fact they will lose deep fat fryer privileges.
@ Jinxstar
why would MS do this on purpose when they have already announced that its costed multi millions or a billions to rectify and at the same time losing all credibility for the RROD?
plus when you send off your machine you don't receive a brand new packaged 360 its either the same machine (check serial number) or its an old reconditioned one. this has nothing to do with sales when MS are losing money from it.
Cant explain it.
Microsoft advise this is normally due to motherboard overheating but both times i witnessed RROD was after a 3-4 days of not playing with it (due to work commitments obviously). In my case its more of neglect than playing it 10hrs without a break.
I Would say to the user that 3 red lights is on its way.
Saturday morning my 360 froze, turned it off and on again and received 1 red light in the bottom right of the ring. phoned xbox support who advised 1 red light meant connection error, most commonly due to hard drive not connected properly or usb device error. whilst on the phone they requested i take hdd out take all of the connections out i.e component leads controller charger etc reconnect and start again. For a while 10-...
trust me you don't receive a brand new console everytime you get RROD.
Exactly, im a 360 and wii owner and i can easily find at least 10 faults with each of them. I can give you twenty reasons why not to buy a zanussi washing machine or 30 reasons not to buy a volkswagen beetle, What annoys me is when there are apparent faults or weaknesses most people are too scared to raise because their in somekind of fanboy cult and the leader would not approve.
Firstly who says profit has no bearing on a consoles success?
NEO-GEO, Atari Lynx, Game Gear, 3D0, CDI, dreamcast, Xbox (Original) were all higher tech than there counterparts and they soon were killed off.
Secondly the article has many valid points - though i would agree we knew the pro's and con's over two years ago. If there was a 10 reasons why the 360 is a failure no doubt i would agree with that too.
but seriously you would need to buy a £2k pc to get that sort of frame rate.
why did crytek release a new engine so crysis 2 is playable on consoles. crysis 1 would requires a serious gaming pc just to get to 50fps and Sony are saying 120fps easy - mmmm with graphical sacrifices surely.
