I agree with you that PCs can generally perform better in games than consoles... but when the PS3's cell chip runs circles around highend PCS in folding@home or SETI, then clearly there's got to be some muscle underneath that chip.
I c... So the cell is not for graphics. Then what is it for? Why have 7 of them running if there is a PPE that can do everything a xbox360 triple cpu can do (albeit slower?) What about the EIB? What does the PPE need the EIB for if it runs general operations and doesn't need to delegate to the SPE? Why do developers talk about doing most of the calculations in the SPEs and outputting it to the RSX to display on screen?
Oh america you're prudishness will never cease to amaze me. /sarcasm
They have their perspective on what's acceptable and we have ours. Just look at how we pay for health insurance here when its universally free pretty much everywhere else. Now that's called a ripoff.
Nothing wrong with japan. Their age of consent is 14. Ours is 16 soon to be 18.
I still think Black looks better than the current Wii Conduit lol
Enlighten me Lazy Gamer
A year ago.
If I were a console maker, I'd do exactly what sony is doing. Milking that last gen profit for all its worth to fund my next project. I think companies, even MS need to recoup their investment b4 starting a new project. For MS, that means recouping their losses on the first xbox project and this current one. They may be in the black again with this division, but I don't think they are anywhere near making a return on their investment. To come out with a new xbox as early as 09-10 would be...
The only part they share is the LCD panel and that Samsung probably manufactures Sony LCD TVs.
This is a given fact in the LCD industry.... Sony provides R&D money and Samsung manufactures everything.
It actually looks pretty decent for a ps2 title^^ better than wii hehe.
Hey look guys, this is the bottom line .... If the 360 can't sell with this price drop, end of story 360 is dead. There simply is no demand period. If they make a killing then we know that the 360 is here to stay this gen and that Sony is definitely going to be last and possibly the Wii second.
Now which is the more likely of the two scenarios? We'll have to wait until the end of the holiday season to tell us.
Can we all agree on this?
I saw framerate stutter on the 360 version during the boat scene. Right after the corner turn.
I think if Sony could just come up with a more indie friendly development platform for the PSN, we'd see more of these indie developers transitioning. Shame on MS. Why should XBLA development costs be higher than developing a retail DS title?
I disagree. I think the US market is already saturated with Wiis. The $199 arcade isn't going to change american minds.
I'll donate my left nut to charity if that's really the a 360 screen shot. Looks more to me like a PC running it in 720p with like a Radeon 4870 or a Nvidia 8800 GT.
That 2nd player really retarded the game for me. I don't even know what he/she is doing... Playing the 2nd charc like a dumb ai.
hahah. I'm glad you mentioned that. Guess what? I can run Soul Calibur PS3 at 1080p just fine. Guess you didn't realize that MS has been pulling the wool over your eyes with interpolated 1080p. We can "scale" it to 1080p on our console too. The only difference is that on MS packaging "scaling" is supposed to be "native," a blatant lie. There's actually only about 2 games in MS's line that has true 1080p. On Sony's platform there are over a dozen. Face it y...
I was really surprised how much better the PS3 version sounded compared to the 360.... Was like listening between a THX certified 5.1 audio file next to an 128 bit mp3.
That video of yours sucks chuck norris and so does the game. I don't see anything redeeming about the SC. It's solid title for sure, but shadows are flat dark, animations are oblivion level at best (punches and kicks don't even really connect!), framerates are very erratic and nothing stands out. The textures are simplistic compared to newer titles.
