IGN.COM

[DouggyO.o]

ok kool

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

sounds better than the xbox to me

[Dante]

HELL YEA IT DOES

[nwshc]

The marvels of Sony 8)

[kevin]

Why is it such a big deal? There pretty much all the same. You pop in a game, and you play it. The sole purpose of a gaming console.

[Dante]

ahhhhh i expect that talk from a non believer.

[nwshc]

Did it specify anywhere or does anyone know if the ps3 disks will work on the ps2?? I hope they do. If they dont, i wont be able to play the next Grand Theft Auto :(

[kevin]

I beleive in sports? Activity?

[Dante]

tHE PS2 CANT handle the power that the ps3 has.

The ps3 will be able to play playstation and PS2 games.

[kevin]

And? So what, it can play more games. That just consumes more money from the companies that make the games. They'll now reformat everygame and reproduce.

[Dante]

dont make us VG fans unhappy...this is a proud moment.

[Whisper]

dont make us VG fans unhappy...this is a proud moment.

I agree this is a very proud moment for Xbox

[maximan]

The controller is TERRIBLE though!

[Dante]

what the hell did they do to our controller.......dont worry itll be ok.....i think itll be fine,,,,,its just longer u know arm thingies

[Ravenous]

XBOX 360 is gonna piss all over that. It has way better specs and bahhhhhhhh your controllers suck.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

wow thats the ugliest controller ive ever seen lol. dont worry, im sure its really functional (somehow)

[Anonymous]

even worse than the n64 controller. ya know whatll be funny? is if nintendo somehow ends up utteching both systems, but thta would require divine intervention.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

i thought the n64 controller was brilliant

[Anonymous]

it doesnt work wlel if you have small hands, i personally loved it, but my hands are huge. it didnt work well with anyoe with small hands. wayyyyyyyy to big.

[Waiting]

oh dear lord... did u see that ps3 vcontroller?
proud moment for xbox indeed

[maximan]

XBOX 360 is gonna piss all over that. It has way better specs and bahhhhhhhh your controllers suck.

...you do know that PS3 is twice as powerful as the Xbox 360, right? It's processing speed with the cell processor is 2x as fast, it has 1.5x faster ram, and a whole new kind of video card...go watch the press conference.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

i said this in another thread but the new video card it has is better than two SLIed 6800 ultras, costing over 1000$

[maximan]

OOO, you got me there. Give it up, stop being a fanboy, and look at it rationally. At this point, I love my Xbox more then I ever liked my PS2, but right now PS3 kicks Xbox 360s sorry ass.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

i think you misunderstood me... i was talking about the ps3

No it dosen't your not taking everything into account...Have you seen the E3 press realese for the 360, have you seen everything it can do?!?!?!?!? It whips PS3's ass!!

It's good to play together

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

have you taken into account the cact like ps3 is better in every aspect? name one thing thats better for the xbox

[Dante]

I was kind of Iffy about the controller for Ps3 but looking at it, it isnt bad......if you look at it carefully, itll feel the same, the buton layout is the same...so that didnt change, you guys r making the fact that it looks like a boomerang, making it looks bad, but it isnt....



the playstation 3 is waaay better than the 360....it is faster and more powerful.....

Did any of u guys see the display for this game using the eye toy, its called eyedentity.......I have never seen anything like that for a game......

You see yourself on the screen..and u command these 2 female spies, but they respond to what u say, like If you say a joke....theyll laugh and one of them would be like "stop laughing, cuz i don't get the joke".

It is unfreakinbelieavable...and u could give them orders....and they actually respond...it Maziing.....

Killzone 2 looks amazing...and you guys have to see Tekken 6....OMG....and Gran turismo.....OMG........and did i mention up to 7 controllers.....7..

PS3 kicks major microsoft ass.

[maximan]

Well don't get too hyped up from that...the only things there that weren't pre-rendered were the Unreal 3 tech demo, the Fight Night demo, and I'm not sure about the bathtub thing. The rest was pre-rendered...I don't know whether it was pre-rendered on PS3 hardware or not, but it was just a teaser.

As for Killzone, it looked awesome, but thats not gameplay footage, and I doubt the actual game will turn out that awesome. One thing that's a dead giveaway that it's not actual gameplay is the fluidity of the movement of the character...that's impossible.

I'm looking forward to the PS3 though.

[Dante]

well I know somethings were pre-rendered...they never said if Killzone was....I hope it wasnt......But they were saying, that PS3 could be capable of things like that, I mean they still have a bout a year until release, so they could still improve.....


I am just sony fan, and I cant wait.......The people at the expo were really dissapoointed with the revolution, because it didnt show any footage or even the controller....Nintendo thinks that what theyre doing is mysterious, but its like their shooting themselves in the foot....

they might have done research and figured out that that kind of design made it easier for play. Don't knock it 'till you try it.

they might have done research and figured out that that kind of design made it easier for play. Don't knock it 'till you try it.No. They lost a lawsuit with Immersion. No more dual shock controllers. They had to come up with that on their own. They couldn't use their old controllers, and technically can't sell PS2s with those anymore.

To me, it's a retarded GCN controller/boomerang.

[Whisper]

XBOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

hahaha you have blind faith ^^

[Dante]

actually...they changed the controller long before that immersion incident....Sony said that the whole lawsuit thing was not and did not affect the PS3 controller.

[Anonymous]

You know what..why is Sony pre-rendering all their games for E3? Are they hiding something? If it was that powerful then why didn't they just play the actual game like Xbox did? Thats where I start to laugh at the PS3 if it's truly all powerful then they would have played a actual game...Well thats just my opinion..lol...and..

Xodus..sony just might bw saying that for they don't look bad, honestly why would they make a crappy big controller like that, when they have the nice small ones?

P.S. XBOX FOR LIFE

[Whisper]

hahaha you have blind faith ^^

I don't have "faith" in anything hunny you know that

Yes I like Xbox Microsoft kicks ass
I have an Xbox and my bro in law has a PS2, Xbox kicks its ass
It's not just about the graphics or the power yes I admit that is important but its like sex ya gotta preheat the oven befor you stick the turkey in.

So I'm with Xbox hands down.

You can call me a blind follower if you wish thats your choice.
When it comes to politics I think your completly blind, you have allot of loyalty (I like that) but its extremly misguided I find anyway.

or just maybe they changed the design because they felt it was time for change.....How is the controller crappy? It has the exact same layout as the dual shock controller....So it will feel the same....and the Boomerang look isnt bad at all....its a change and I think that scares you because, your so used to the dualshock....Because I know that if they didnt change it, you guys would be like..."oh sony should have changed their controller...the original design is getting played out"

and as for E3....Nothing there was pre-rendered....They spoke to Sony reps who were there doing their presentaions, and they said nothing there was E3, they could be just saying that, but im gonna take their word for it.

[Millermagic]

I think they are about equal this time. If I'm correct, the xbox has a 512 mb video card, but less cabpible processor. I'll probably end up getting the ps3, although I hate it only becuase of GTA games.

[JunkBondTrader]

If the processor is PPC based then it wouldn't be all that hard to port Yellow Dog into it. Correct?
