Tiger.Girl Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Excuse me are you mentally retarded? 585939767[/snapback] No are you a retarded fanboy? You do realize a lot of the demos for the PS3 were prerendered? I saw everything and I did say TECH DEMOS I know the difference between prerendered and realtime. And the Live features are not stupid. I think you are. The Live features are one of it's strengths, the amount of interactivity and use you can get out of the service is a key point which was being made at the conference. I didnt say they were stupid they made some improvments and thats great and everything but it shuldnt have been a big focus. I think your stupid also. Keep in mind MS have this device targeted to a WIDER audience and not just gamers. as they were rednered using the development kit. Get your facts right and learn what you really saw were prerenders which don't conclude final gameplay performance. Understandable, Sony is also targeting a wider audiance especially if sony gets lucky and bluray is adopted for HDDVD. My point is at the end of the day 360 is a console and the demos should fully utilize hardware potential otherwise what they are showing us is about usefull as what Nintendo showed for revolution. With that said I despise PSX PS2 and PSP, I own XBOX and a Gamecube and Nintendo DS, but that doesnt mean that what microsoft and nintendo had to show was better.

Bant Veteran Posted May 18, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2005 i dont understand how you guys can have decided which consoles you want already, sure, maybe i can see people saying they are getting an xbox, since theyve seen content..but ruling out the other consoles?...ps3 and revolution are empty voids of innovation and hype. im sure they will both be great, but seriously.... you aint got **** for info and maybe you should wait to see whats up before you make your decisions. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackwanders Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Frankly, I'm of the opinion that anyone who makes a decision on what console to buy months before the first one ever sees a store shelf is either a fanboy or a fanboy in the making. Specs are never final until the product is boxed up and out the door and using specs to justify your preference is just an attempt to veil your prejudices for or against a certain console. Because in the end, it's not the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean...as it were. Justifying a preference based on aesthetics of the hardware itself is just petty...but hey, that's just my opinion. In fact, the only justification I can fathom is one based on what games will be available for what consoles. If you're a huge fan of Halo 3, of course you'll want to get an XBox 360. If you're a Zelda nut, you'll obviously be buying a Revolution. Likewise for FFVII and PS3. But to bicker about specs and looks and **** all over one console's unfinalized hardware while your console of choice isn't even finalized is just plain :cry: That being said, I'll probably wind up with a Revolution and a PS3 at some point. If Microsoft can put some games on the Xbox 360 that I really want to play, then I'll get one of those too, because it's all about the games. Nothing else matters.

Jonax Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Forget hypothesising right now - ATM we're only getting the snippets each company wants us to know, which can't really compare to first-hand experience (that and like has been said, a fair chunk of the games have sadly been pre-rendered instead of showing the actual thing). Personally, after each are out for a few months then I'll decide - Already got burnt this year from the EU DS launch :pinch: Having said that, for the sake of curiosity my personal choice will be the one with the most open community development. With this round, Sony has had the Linux dev kit out for a couple of years , Xbox keeps theirs licenced strictly to developers and I've only just seen in the past months the GC dev kit being available to several universities in the UK (including several to good old Abertay :D although the course head hasn't given us an update on them :angry: ). If the next wave has a similar pattern, it'll probably be PS3 FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Veteran Posted May 19, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 19, 2005 This is it, the only thread that is to be used to voice your favorite of the three consoles. This isn't asking which one you'll be getting, because the majority will likely get two or even all three consoles. This poll asks for your favorite and you must post why it is your favorite. No more threads are to be created on this subject, and all current/new threads will be closed linking to this one. As for my vote, I choose the Xbox 360 because I love Xbox Live, and most of the games I currently play are on Xbox. Not to mention Squaresoft now signed with Microsoft, so my only reason for owning a Playstation just went out the window :woot: Made Definitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HilariousNinja Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I'm getting the Xbox 360 so thats why I'm voting for it. Online gaming, shorter wait, and with Xbox 360 getting a chance to get much more games than the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's basically a representation of the look and feel of the game we're trying to make. It was real time footage prerendered because the PS3 isn't final yet. All they had to run with were the dev kits, which aren't even half as powerful as the console will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takezo Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 As good as the graphics will be on the both 360, and PS3 will be. If you are going to be stuck with the same old rehash games, then what's the point? I have read an article where a developer stated that while the new XBoX and Play Station will have the power to do all these neat effects in real time resulting in immersion into a game than ever before, it also acts as a double edged sword. Why? because the production level to acheive anywhere near the systems capabilities will be many times more than before. Thus you have game that are 5 to 10 million dollars to develop, turn into 10 to 30 million dollars. Just like Hollywood movies Only large companies will be abill to afford to do that. But even so, releasing a 10 million dollar flop would certainly leave them in a hole. Thus they will most likely release a game that is built on a proven formula such as a sequel or somthing simmilar. The point is that the wow effect don't last very long. Once you stop drooling over the graphics (and you will in time), all that's left is gameplay. Don't leave nintendo out. They are the masters of misinformation. No one but insiders know the truth about the revolution, but they are are in on nintendo's weird enigmatic antics, you never know if they are telling the truth or not. They claim that everyone is going to get punked when they actually unveil the revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbandonedTrolley Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Gonna be the Revolution I would imagine, the back catalogue is enough without seeing the specs and ingame graphics. Without a doubt the biggest noise and stir has been with Nintendo, no one knows what they are up to, if they are even up to anything at all. Hopefully today we might see some more from them. I just can't see them leaving E3 without having shown something more than they already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NienorGT Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Well don't know... X-Box 360 look to be nice and like my next PC will maybe have MCE it will be cool to have them linked... Spec dosen't mater for me... games are in first range. But look is another big point the PS3 Desing suck so mush that I have closed my PC screen when saw it in first time... I don't need to get the smallest console and the "revolution" look to not revolute anything than a black mini thing... X-Box 360 is disapointhing to in term of controler... (PS3 don't need to be mentionated...) the revolution option to be FULL backward compatible via internet is nice... but I wouldn't buy a console becuz I can buy old games via the net. I don't like so mush Mario anymore... so I don't want to have 20 Mario games at the start... Nor a metroid pinbal :blink: Nintendo is point less with the GBM... it's not a revolution too... Why make mini thing if they aren't enough powerfull? Anyway the normal GBA don't fit well in my hands and I need a adapter to play (like a PSX controller) The PSP rules now...it's almost like a PS2 so why nintendo can't make a NGC portable? So oh well... I will take a X-360... look the best for me... :/ Oh well... this is my point of wiew... Take it and accept it or not... but don't blame me... I love the power of the 3 consoles... but hate all of thoses in same time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
