[PS3] PlayStation 3 Discussion Thread

I would love to see that eBay rule go through. Not that I have anything against anyone here, and I love laughing at people who pay WAY too much for stuff. But at the same time I don't think that it's right... for many reasons.

Secondly I may, or may not be getting a PS3 at launch, however I will be getting a Wii at launch and I'll just play around with that until I get my PS3, seeing how 1.5 million units are supposed to ship in the two nonths following the PS3's release, which is a little less then half the amount of 360s sould to date I do believe.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

My thoughts exactly. I just didn't want to put it in such detailed words ^^;
However after reading your nicely discriptive post I feel like beating up some guys in God Hand... aw crap, I don't have that yet. Guess Beat Down will just have to do.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The 360 hasn't really even had a next gen game yet. DOA4, Saint's Row... what bullshit. The things barely look better then current gen and the stupid white brick can still barely handle them.

On the PS3 front at launch or launch window titles are;

Resistance
Ridge Racer
Full Auto 2
Genji 2
Assasin's Creed
MotorStorm
WarHawk

Non of which are sports sims (which I also hate with passion), and all of which are superior to any 360 game to date.

Then further down the road you have;

MGS4
8 Days
Coded Arms
UnrealTournament 2007
Final Fantasy XIII/VS XIII
Virtua Fighter 5
KillZone
Heavenly Sword
Tekken 6
Mercenaries 2
White Knight's Story

No... Sony hasn't lost it. And if you break it down, yes you are paying more for a PS3, but believe me. When you look at what you pay to what you get between the three systems, you get more with Sony, so it's not like you're not getting what you're paying for.

Also further on the 360 front, after spring '07 you're not going to be seeing much for the 360 other then maybe Halo 3 in November... at best. I'm afraid that Microsoft has put all their eggs in one basket. Sure it might look to have more interesting titles around the Wii & PS3 launch, but if I've learned anything it's that some things are simply as they seem, and from here Microsoft just hasn't payed enough mind to the future and are going to be releasing everything around the same time.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

??? Thoes arn't sports sims!!!

Ridge Racer is futuristic cars doing physically impossible drifts.

Full Auto 2 is racing with guns, do I need to explain this one?

MotorStorm is possible, too bad it's not a sim, but an arcade racer.

Man, learn how to read before you go bashing something that you either don't understand or can't comprehend.

FELIPE NO

Cobalt Katze: Thank you, finally some one who understands what I was saying.

Spatula: Nice find, lol

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah, you're right, Dead Rising was pretty good. Gears of War, Mass Effect and BioShock are the only other ones coming out that could be called next-gen on the 360 too. Which is pretty sad, a next-gen system should have next-gen games, not this half assed porting junk.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hey, if sony can pull off 1.5m units before the end of the year then that's about half as many 360s that have sold to date. Obviously the trick at the beginning of every gen is to get as many systems into people's homes during the launch window because people want it simply because it's new. Therefore if Sony can catch up half way in a month and a half to the 360 then it'll still have a really good chance of catching up or beating the 360 in sales by the end of '07.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No prob man, it's bound to happen. Especially since Sony hasn't really confirmed a launch title list yet so speculation always comes in to place where there's a lack of facts (not that it was your speculation, but your source's).

Finally Sony has screwed up every launch to date. So technically for Sony this is probably going to be their best launch yet. Usually system launches don't mean a whole lot other then getting the word out that the product is now out on market. It's the games and sales that follow over the next five years that decide essentuall "wins". But really as long as you have a or many systems & games and are having fun we're all winners.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I was talking about the use of next-gen hardware at that point of time. You can't just pick a sentence and totally take it out of context. I never said that the games on the PS3 were better as a game, obviously that would be impossible for me to say. I was talking about graphics and technology behind the games and how the 360 was barely better then the curent gen from THAT standpoint.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Colonel Skills: Perhaps I am leaning a bit more to the Sony side of things. Hell I'll admitt it. However you can't really blame me when I like fighting, role playing, and music games the most. All of which are at their best on the Sony consoles, so it ain't my fault that the competition can't touch that.

Next is I'm not THAT much of a fanboy. As you know I have a 360, and have played almost EVERY non-sports game on the dang thing too. So I know what I'm talking about. As for thoes quotes of mine... thoes were totally taken out of context once again.

And finally I have a right to my opinion so why do you need to cut me all to hell. If you think I'm a fanboy, you shouls be smart enough to figure out that you can't change a fanboy's mind so why try? Or do you like running into brick walls too?

P.S.
Also you are right, Full Auto 2 doesn't look much better then the 1st on the 360. However the 360 one ran like ass and was unplayable... ain't my fault.

MetalSphere: Good to hear that you had an enjoyful and informative time at the show today. Too bad to hear some bad news on a couple of games. Though the Lair clipping wasn't that surprising after seeing a dragon run through some other trailer in a demo at TGS. Then again MotorStorm and Lair also arn't launch titles so who knows what else they're still planning on doing before release.

EDIT:

Lair looked pretty good at TGS (minus that clipping); http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...pe=wmv&pl=game
Motor Storm looked pretty good here too; http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...pe=wmv&pl=game

So do these videos look similar, better or worse then what you saw at TGS Metal Sphere. It's just so I can get an idea as to what they look like up close.

*This post has not been spell checked*

I was speaking idiomatically.

It's the Sony thread not the Xbox thread, what do you expect? Hell people in the Nintendo and Xbox threads bash the PS3 all the time. It's about time someone returned fire.

Anyhow this isn't the X-box thread hence I'm not going to talk a lot about X-box. I'm as sure as hell going to compare it to the PS3, but when I want to talk about X-box and X-box related things I take that to the appropriate thread.

EDIT:
A lot of the "PS3" Oblivion shots are just recycled shots of the 360 version. If you want confirmed shots of the PS3 version you're going to have to look in this month's issue of PSM. For example IGN;

PS3 Shots: http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/702/702492/imgs_1.html
360 Shots: http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/7...3/imgs_10.html

They've even got the same date on the shots for god's sake.

Most amazing jew boots

I'm just saying why the hell are people always focusing on me. Why the hell don't you guys ever say anything to anyone else? I go to all three console threads, but you don't see me saying anything thoes who bash either of the other two consoles. Are you telling me that I should? Or should we all role dice to see who gets to be the lucky one to get told each day?

FELIPE NO

Speculation has it that the virtual console for the PSP to allow it to play PS1 games will use game images downloaded from your PC or your PS3, which might make the card readers useful for gamers, but seeing how you could just use the USB cord it's still not all that needed. Then again on the other hand card readers are only $8 - $12 so I guess it's not really going to cost me all that much for something that I'll never use. (and the reader's only in the premium model)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

There used to be a really good one made by logitech and approved by Sony that had volume control, a mute button and all of that for like $30CAD. Don't know if they still make them, but they were good. I myself will probably use the same Socom 1 headset that I used from Killzone to Metal Gear Online, and soon to be Resistance.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Please refer to this post for PS3 memorycard information.

As for thoes videos that Metal Sphere posted, man there's a LOT of options. Like seriously, that about the same amount of options that are in the Unreal Tournament games on the PC, and for it to be on a console... that's nuts. As for the game itself, it looks amazing compared to a lot of screens that I've seen. Yup, I'm definatly getting that day 1.

UPDATE:
It's about time that someone posted an HD version of this demo. This is a demo of Stranglehold which is coming out for the PS3 and 360. If you're an action game fane you owe it to yourself to check this out.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Don't forget though. The console that IGN UK got was an debug unit and not an actual retail unit like what has been sent to such places like PSM3, so there could be manythings different between the one that IGN got and the actual retail unit.

Also one thing that IGN fails to acknowledge is that perhaps the PS controller isn't the most comfortable controller, however it is arguably the most efficient controller. While the X360 controller is a far cry better then the original X-box controller, I would still cry tears of blood if I were forced to use the 360 controller for fighting games or Devil May Cry.

Side Note:
When IGN gave God Hand a 3/10 I then knew that they were nothing but a cult of casual gamers that cry to their mommies if a game challenges them or if it's name ain't Halo. Hell, if I gave them some glue and glitter I'm sure that it would keep them entertained for hours on end.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Don't forget the extra 40Gb

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

You should have taken a kendo stick with you to enforce your position. I took a light up lightsaber thinking that it would work, but it just wasn't the same. As much as I want to camp out to get a PS3 at launch I don't think it's going to be realistic for me. Also with Gears of War (the reason why I bought the stupid 360 to begin with) and the Wii coming out around the same time, I think that they should keep me busy for a couple of weeks to a month when I'll be able to get a PS3.

I was speaking idiomatically.

If you had a soft modded PSP you could. As of right now the PSP does not allow you to play games off of anything other then a UMD disc. Therefore if it were soft moded, or if Sony came out with executable versions of the games there would be no way to play them from another source other then the UMD.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah good job man. Did you pre-order any games with your system? Or you just plan'n on picking up a couple on launch day? And if so what ones are you going to get/pre-ordered?

FELIPE NO

Just throwing this out there but as far as I'm aware the PS3 has full mouse & keyboard support. I know that that's how I'll be going for both resistance and Unreal Tournament 2007.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

WoW, Dark Sector has canged a lot over the past year and a half.

Original HD Trailer of Dark Sector: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...pe=wmv&pl=game

Now compare thoes screens to that video. Though thoes screens look quite interesting to me... and good, I'm just saying how different the two are. Guess that's what happens when a work is in progress.

P.S.
That guy stole Snake's suite from MGS4 (or at least in the third pic), lol

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yup, not far now ^^

I think I'm going to start a thread soon for advice on camping for consoles. This is because my friends and I are going to be camping at a FutureShop on the thursday night before launch and this will be our first time, hence the request for advice. So for all of you who are planning on doing the same for either a Wii or a PS3, watch for the thread to go up soon.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

GameTrailers has some new stuff up.

Here's a vid of the PS3's Flow: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...14108&type=wmv

Here's a vid of RR7 which the 360's version's got nothing on: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.p...14105&type=wmv

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I think you just have to build up your plankton type of thing up to it's final form which I believe (or at least in the flash version) is by consuming everything in all 16 levels... but I could be wrong.
