Well I'm sure you can add your own wallpaper like the 360 which will rock, gonna have a killer Freddy Krueger one if so =]

I have to say that I'm intrigued by a few of those videos.

I was disappointed that the trailer for Lair was just a pre-rendered scene, but I was genuinely impressed by Heavenly Sword as well as Motorstorm. They look great and actually seem like a lot of fun to play as well. The rest weren't so hot, though.

Yeah, sorry. I knew someone did but I couldn't remember who or where in this thread. Too lazy to go back and check. ;| (yeah I know that's a bad habit)

You sure? It looked pretty realtime to me. At least, I'm hoping it was, considering that the screenshots have been pretty awesome so far.

It's realtime but no actual gameplay was shown. They were rotating the camera in real-time during the E3 demonstration movie.

Good to know, because that last shot with the sunset looked VERY promising, especially since this is a first generation PS3 game. Good times ahead...

Looks like Devil May Cry's got something in store for us. Here's the site:

It'd be interesting to see where that whole arm thing takes us.

I am immediately reminded of Vampire Hunter D. A sarcastic talking hand for Dante would be a pretty cool addition.

Bleh.

Sometimes old news is still news worth writing about, especially when it's "insider" information about the PS3 launch, PS3 games, and the PSP. Hey, just because other people have known about it since before August 18 doesn't mean that everybody has had access to it, right? More importantly, people aren't done talking about it yet, and there's still lots more to be said.

More than a week ago, The Professor told us about an article over at genmay.com, and here's what that article had to say:

"The launch lineup is shrinking."

* Bad News: What was supposed to be 30 titles (both 1st and 3rd party games) has gone down to 15 titles (Scrivener couldn't get more specific because the list "literally changes by the hour").
* Good News: Postponing some of the games means more development time. This means better quality. Example: Heavenly Sword was revealed at E3 but will be released in March. But it now has "layers and layers of detail" and "looks like f***ing Advent Children" and has gotten a "God of War type violence upgrade."
* Killzone 2 is still in development and is PS3's "secret weapon." Scrivener says, "Announcements are being held back until closer to the PS3 launch as it's going to generate a monumental amount of buzz."
* Lair will be held back to at least summer of 2007, but promises to be "absof***inglutely incredible" thanks to "unscripted AI-driven massive scale battles (we're talking Helms Deep here)" where you control a single dragon and rider. Basically the AI is "playing an RTS with itself" and your character simply tries change the tide of the battle.
* Resistance: Fall of Man is supposed to be a mix of Half Life 2 and Call of Duty. Scrivener says, "I f***ing hate both those games so I was not terribly impressed with the single player. Now multiplayer is a whole different beast, because the weapons are strange as f***." Also, the system checks the distances and environment and mimics the distortion caused by echoes and all that. Unfortunately, the game won't be out until the first part of 2007 or later.

Scrivener also got into the whole Blu-ray debate: the Xbox 360 uses DVD9 while the PS3 uses BD discs. This means that a PS3 disc will fit in more data: that means more details, more textures, and just more. What Scrivener basically said was:

* There was a demo of an upcoming sports game (Scrivener couldn't say which game).
o One was on Xbox 360 (DVD9) connected to an HDTV (720P).
o The other was on PS3 (BD50) and HDTV (720P).
o The PS3's was better.
* The reason why the BD50 one was better: the 360 could have handled the high resolutions, but they won't fit on the disc. So the 360 suffers. 85% of the games in development for the PS3, according to Scrivener, will not fit on a single DVD9.

Also according to Scriviner: BD is the way to go. Why? He has his reasons: 80% of manufacturing plants are adopting Blu-Ray, Sony has clout in the movie industry, and BD movie costs are now $20 to $30.

Well, Scrivener is not an unbiased writer, but he has a reputation for not making stuff up. While we at QJ have yet to come to a consensus about the whole BD-vs-DVD thing, we'll leave you with some things to think about:

* Do you think that having your game shipped in more than one disc is a problem?
* If the future of next-gen consoles is all about better processing speeds and all that, do the game cinematics really need to be squeezed into a CD, or could they just be rendered on the spot as you play the game?

It's funny how this supposed expert is trying to hype up the PS3 while delivering bad news about the game delays at the same time. I thought Resistence was a 100% confirmed launch title. There's absolutely nothing to look forward to this November if all these games are delayed (aside from ports like Half Life 2 and FEAR).

Even though the system is going to be expensive to most and the fact they took out a few features they previously planned I still think its going to do very well come release time. I've seen a good amount of gameplay footage to say that its something I'm going to invest my money into. Being a gamer it would be stupid for me not to pick it up as the advancements in graphics make the games look so beautiful.

400,000 unites available at launch day for the PS3, approximately 2 million by end of 2006. Well, 400,000 on launch day is still more than than 360 had by year's end last year, so that's good. Here's hoping Sony can keep that number closer to release.

well if there will be 2 million ps3 by the end of the year, it's pretty find with me. If I can,t get one on lauch date i'll take on for christmas ^^

There's 400,000 because they kicked Europe in the balls and stole our PS3s. Remember when Sony said Europe was first or something like that. HA! That was a good time for us Sony fans ;_; I guess i'll have to get a Wii to keep me occupied until March.

First official PS3 box-art.

I like it. No more giant logo on the top. Keeping it to the side frees up space.

Hopefully SCEA/SCEE/SCEJ can keep the rest of the malignant company from forcing them to use the hideous Blu-Ray boxes. That alone ruins the look of Blu-Ray movies for me.

That's stupid, I really hope that they don't plan on having no game title on the side, just a big Playstation 3 logo. If you put your games in a dvd rack like I do(probably most people), and have the side of the case facing out, then there would be no way to even tell which game you are picking. You'd have to pull your games out 1 by 1 to find them.

What's with the IGN logo on her boob. Is this gonna be standard with PS3 coverart? Wait, why's that the first thing I noticed? Didn't even see the sword. Hm.

In other news, if that's the actual boxart, I wonder why they chose to focus on one character, when Untold Legends has thus far been about multiple individuals. Hell, she wasn't even the first one shown! It was that huge dude who was halfway naked for so long.

I enjoy how IGN skillfully placed their logo smack dab in the middle of the fucking picture. Not like anyone is going to be using that other than to look at but still I fucking hate publications that use giant logos on images.

Here's some mockups of DMC4's boxart, courtesy of the folks at GAF.

They look much better than Untold Legend's but the massive PLAYSTATION 3 text makes placing things on the cover really awkward.

Aw, they're coming standard issue blu ray boxes? Ugh. I dunno.

Yeah, the dimensions of the Untold Legends box falls in line with BR movie cover art. That would explain the boxy look of the shot. I just hope, PRAY, that they won't succumb to Sony HQ's pressure and hawk blu-ray with PS3 game cases. especially the blue ones

DVD games come in standard DVD boxes...CD based games came in CD jewel cases....

The Blu-Ray packaging is actually pretty high quality.

It would be so much better if they put the playstation 3 logo where the blue ray logo is instead of the left side. That way, there would be more room for art and the game title would be on the left.
