It was sarcasm. Just making fun of companies that say "it can only be done on system x". Like Factor 5 said about Lair. Funny, the Factor 5 guys said the same thing about their Ninendo Gamecube and N64 games. We hear this crap all the time, but by now we all pretty nuch know the 360 and PS3 balance out power-wise. There is no excuse for a developer to make such stupid comments these days. Just a cop-out for what will most likely be a poor porting job.
That being said,...
Get over yourself. The Cell is just a CPU. "Broadband Engine" is a Sony hype marketing term, just like "Emotion Engine" and "Reality Synthesizer". Sony sure has you hooked.
Sure, the 360 CPU is "off the shelf". Just go to CompUSA and ask for a triple core 3.2GHZ dual thread CPU. It's just as "off the shelf" as your Cell, which has a PPU almost equal to one 360 core, and seven (six usable)primitive co-processors. You know I coul...
I heard the 360 version is just Burnout Revenge from last year with some new courses. They are doing this because the 360 cannot compare or handle PS3 level games. The PS3 is just too powerful. Just ask developers like Accliam who made COD3, they couldn't get the frame rate down from 60fps to 30fps to match the glory of the PS3 version.
Or ask EA, who couldn't get those awesone long load times to match the PS3 version of FNR3.
A nice excuse for laziness on Critereon's part....
Sounds like April Fools.
Although this guy is biased, he does make some interesting points. A lot better at communication than the Sony folk.
-Home. The only point I will agree with is it's free. Anyone excited by this is a true Sony fanboy. It's like virtual Myspace for teenagers with too much money
-Little Big Planet. I have mixed opinions on this one. May end up being fun at first, but wear off quickly. People want to play games, not tediously build their own levels.
-As a Wii owner, ...
Funny, the PS3 does not have 128-bit HDR, they use a software based HDR solution becuase the GPU is so busy trying to render and shift data between the split ram and the CPU (Becuase the GPU needs help). Thats why everything looks so fake and blown out. I guess it "paid off" to use an outdated GPU.
But any PS3 news is great news to the fanboys.
They look to be on par with the Burger King games for 360, except they will cost full price.
I cannot believe the format way is this close. Solely due to the PS3. If the PS3 were not a factor the war would already be over.Set top sales favor HD-DVD by a factor of six to one. HD-DVD players cn be found for around $300, and offer superior picture and extras. I say again, the smartest think Sony did was to release the PS3 with only one or two quality games. That way people buy blu-ray movies to pass the time.
Immature blind Sony fanboy cry! I don't see any 360 fans signing petitions for Elder Scrolls, Fear, or anythinng else getting dumped on the PS3.
What's next, petitons for Bioshock, Mercs 2, and Ace Combat 6?
Grow up little Sony fanboys.
You seem to be a blind Sony fanboy. How does the PS3 not work like a PC or a 360? The all have a CPU, GPU, memory, ect.
And how do you know when "SONY CAN SHOW IT". No one else in the industry does, and they have failed to do so since launch.
I bet you get all hard over HOME too.
Fix your caps lock as well, or don't they teach you that in middle school?
Why don't you all just go buy a 360. That way there will be a 100 percent change you all will get to play the titles mentioned.
This guy hopped on board the Sony hype train. He assumes the PS3 will have "graphics miles ahead of the 360". How is this possible with a weak GPU two generations behind the 360's ultra efficient and powerful GPU?
He should be saying the PS3 needs to focus on gameplay due to the fact the 360's graphics will remain superior.
Tell me along with LOTR, the Blade series wouldn't be spectacular in HD? They're fence-sitting, which tells me the format war is far from over. When you look at the sales for actual set-top boxes, HD-DVD crushes blu-ray by selling around 6 times the amount. That sais a lot about the PS3, and totally took me by surpirse. I feel the smartest thing Sony ever did for thenselves as a company is release the blu-ray PS3, then release only 2-3 good games. That way people buy movies to fuel their form...
That is not the correct 16 month sales info. I suppose the PS3 has SOLD 5 million units now according to you.
Life has been so dull at work without you to dispute with. All the new guys already own a 360. Even Cordero gave up. There was nobody to discuss all the news lately. You know Mercs 2, Ace Combat 6, Devil May Cry 4...
Send me your gamertag because I know you got a 360 in the basement, you closet MS-lover!
Nice pic by the way. I'll pick up that game for the 360 this fall as well!
The shelves are full as it is. I predict a post summer clearance, Virtual-Boy style.
N'Gai Croal is the most biased "journalist" in the US. His fanboyism shines through every piece he writes.
Nice job shifting the February sales facts away from the PS3, which sold half that of 360, and 1/3 of Wii.
Will he ever write an article on why the PS3 won't win the console war? No, because Sony will stop paying him.
They simply state there will be no shortages at launch. That doesn't truly mean a better launch, as demand will be similar to the rest of the world (very low). So everyone that actually wants to spend obscene money on this product will be able to do so.
Why do you feel the need to attack people when they say something negative about your precious PS3. I should slap your parents for letting you get on the internet little boy. You obviosly are a rookie and don't know what the hell you are talking about. Keep rubbing one off to the PS3 packaging with your school friends.
I mean how many processes they can have going on in the background. After all, the OS takes up a very small percent of system resources, unlike another next-gen console...cough PS3..cough. I bought the 360 to play top quality games. All this other stuff is secondary. I will gladly trade more features if it gives developers more room to squeeze out better results. I mean, aren't you guys happy with all the 360 can currently do? I never thought we'd get so many features standard, like picture/m...
