And if you read the site you'd know that they feel they over rated LBP.They are biased.I've read the site for years and guess what?Edge mag had the guy who used to run it become editor at one point.Similar views and PS3 scores.A bunch of old school(old)gamers who probably hate what Sony did to Sega/Ninty.They're favourite games are 2D shoot em ups.I think they may be the horrifying Mark Kermode of the Uk games scene.
Reader articles and letters are interesting though.
You do know that PS3 has voice already with Singstar.It works but I turn it off because it's annoying and pad is better.Boxing,Kung Fu has been done 7 years ago(in a more basic form)on Eyetoy 1.I like Bradbury but he saw 1 laggy game and if a more advanced version is available wouldn't they get it for the press.If it's so impressive why no cameras.
As for the movie stuff,the PS3 remote is bluetooth so you can control it from the toilet if you choose and don't need to point it at anythin...
The RAM that serves the cell runs at same speed as the chip.It's superfast and the Cell has onboard memory for each SPU.This is why it can carry so much of the burden for the GPU.It handles multiple tasks much faster than 360,running many things simultaneously.I know the 360 has multiple threads but they all go through the same chunk of memory(on the chip,not RAM)which restricts it.
You do know you can delete game installs and re-install without any change to game saves?It's fine and most installs take a matter of minutes.They will get less and less as 1st party mature their tech and pass it on anyway.The more devs that lead on PS3,the better things become for everyone.360 fans included.
You make the most sense.I do think Arc makes better sense for games but I'll use my pads thanks.Both 360 and Ps3 pads are excellent for me.Wii sucks ass.Has anyone else noticed unresponsive button pushes on Wii?
Tell that to true 3rd party dev Travellers Tales or my eyes that an already see that the Arc thing will be better for games.
How come all the 360 fans that moaned and derided PS3 for lack of vibration feedback,are now fine with MS having no feedback controller.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.Name me 1 really good game idea that would be better on Natal than on Arc/Wii?
if you think that's far beyond anything you've ever seen then you never saw 7 year Eyetoy tech demos,and it was more responsive.How do you know it's far beyond what PSEye/Arc can do?
So far it does not work properly.
He's actually a gamer but although I'ma fan of his,I don't like him being wheeled out as MS "look athe celebs we've got".It's like E3 all over again"ignore the fact that Sony game a better game line up,we have Spielberg".Pathetic really but people buy into it.MS have learned some valuable lessons over the years.Cheifly,people are idiots.
I don't see how anyone could Natal is better for games than this.I'm not a motion fan and I feel most proper Wii games would be better with a normal pad but this is definitely a better game solution.
Does the lag get worse with more people to track?Someone suggested it could in one article.When devs are talking about lag being a problem people should be worried.The thing that desturbs me is how many people are so pro Natal that they say it's next big thing even though it has problems.They make excuses for it.Jonathan Ross mentioned it's not the finished article then said the skys the limit.I'm still waiting to hear one good game idea that couldn't be done on any webcam that is not just gi...
And success or not,people that know games mostly realise that the Wii is a piece of crap.I include myself in that and I do own one.Recent problem I've noticed is that,unlike the other systems sometimes Wii doesn't even recognise normal button pushes properly.Happens too often during Super Mario Bros,so much so even my 5 year old has noticed.
Delay is not good at all and will frustrate with challenging or proper games.
I love the fact that the best reason for Natal seems to be menus.By the way,that will get old after 5 minutes and you'll go back to the pad/remote.Voice is used for Singstar(PSEye) menus and it works but we still all use the pad,because it's quicker and easier.Eyetoy comparisons are totally valid because we are yet to see anything working form Natal that hasn't been done on Eyetoy in some form up to 7 years ago.The Eyetoy was also not the failure some limited experience 360 fanboys claim it w...
I agree but I would add that the Cell chip helps too.It's not that it's much more powerful than Xenos,it's that is has onboard memory for each SPU so can run more stuff at the same time without bottle necking.The Xenos can multi thread but all using the same memory.
Looks more like a Ray Harryhausen film than ever!Those giant scorpians look fantastic.
The thing that gets me is with Arc/Gem you can see the gaming application.It's like the Wii but more accurate with Eye abilites and microphone array.Most PS3 fans(me included.I hate my Wii mostly) still seem to have a healthy scepticism but MS fans seem to think Natal is the 2nd coming(MS told them it was)despite some recent public dev criticism.I'm yet to see anything worthwhile that hasn't been done before on Eyetoy 1,or hear an idea on a forum discussion that has justified it's exsistence....
Well,people can only judge it on what they've seen and MS feel this is a good demo.How do you know anything better will actually exsist?Yes,Fanboy!
You can't ask Sony fans to stop comparing the Eyetoy to this.That is an Eyetoy tech demo from 7 years ago.The Americans seem to feel Natal is new because the Eyetoy(PS2)was never popular there.SCEA didn't like SCEEs little camera and couldn't see the point.You also can't say Natal has more features and expect that to negate comparison,when the game demo they are using is so familiar to us old Eyetoy owners.If you took video of people playing Eyetoy Play from 2003(kung fu) it would look like t...
GT will be huge.Halo is also huge but one difference is that GT sells in Japan and the PS3 install base has grown quite a bit since prologue.Halo Reach will sell to the same(large number of) people who bought Halo3 whereas GT will sell to many who did not get prologue so predicting it's sales will be tricky.It will be best selling PS3 exclusive,I would wager but all the best selling exclusives are Wii games.Most of which are poor games compared to Ps3/360 games,yet more proof that quantity an...
I must admit I missed the Jet ski and actually I think a couple of vehicle sections wouldn't have gone a miss in UC2.The truck section does not count it was still plaform/shooting,I mean actually driving.Same with Resistance 1 vs 2,I liked the driving(hated R2 single player,1 was much better).
Towards the end of his Edge tenure another Digitiser man,Mr Biffo(who I really enjoyed)also baically came out as PS3 hater.His last 3 or 4 Edge columns were full of hate for it.All this crossing of staff between Edge/Gamecentral and such similar flaws.It's like some old boys club.
They will argue they are not biased until blue in the face but from the outside looking in(for many years)it's become quite obvious.
