so basicly were just judging this because it has no unified online system? Why cant we just gauge it on HOW fun the game is?!?

Think about this for a moment, if this game rocks in every aspect meaning the single player is equally fun as the multiplayer wouldn't that just eliminate the need for a unified system? I mean is it hard to select online play, go into a room, set the game type just like xbox live, and enjoy the game and i mean if its fun whats gonna matter? a unified online system? or Fun / Gameplay?

and far as this article goes, it was a good read bias or not since this isn't only for the ps3 but for the PC(lets not forget)...

No, I wasn't judging the game based on the unified online system at all, I was just disputing with someone about what the meaning of trolling was, apparently he was a little confused.

Anyway, I wasn't judging the game at all actually, I was judging the source, but that's a whole 'nother thread I guess. :laugh:

Oh, nevermind, I guess your comment wasn't directed at me, sorry! :blush:

ummm the same graphics capability of a $2000+ computer with state of the art video card being done flawlessly on a potentially sub $500 console? i think thats pretty good. but also, how far do u expect a PC developers imagination to stretch, really?

you completely missed my point. sony has hyped its cell processor (and the ps3) to be leap years ahead of anything on the market today in terms of processing power. want some links?

secondly, a lot of systems that are released have the graphics capability of the top of the line computers that are available at the time. you make it sounds like its magic that sony is able to pull that off on a cheap system. these consoles have to sell well for years right? anyways just look at the xbox 360...

finally, i'm not saying the developers need to create some game that will be the end all game of console history. I'm saying they could make it better than a pc version, not exactly the same. honestly that isn't asking much at all if you think about it

The PS3 is not more powerful than the 360.

0/10 for false information.

Unless you work with Sony designing the PS3, I'm not sure anyone really knows at this point which system is more powerful. Even then, does core system specs make it more powerful or more features ... ? Only time will tell.

I'm sure you know more than John Carmack, just to name one developer that have spoken in the matter, when it comes to how powerful the two consoles are.

I was being sarcastic by the way.

theedaysdwn had a whole different thread on how it is not more powerful, too lazy to find the link but it's in one of these threads on the main console gamer page. it all has to do with bottlenecks i presume, and it seems very plausible, but i dont think we know for sure yet, it's got to be released first because you never know, Sony might update their specs to account for the bottlenecks.

I dont think i missed the point of your post, basically you feel underwhelmed by the power of the ps3, again i point to the 360, because apparently you cant leave it out of the conversation, and say that almost all the launch titles dont look great at all, and why is that? its upto the developer to tap the power of the system, not sony- So please try and understand my post- You have no idea what the potential of the PS3 is and if you ****ed about underwhelmed grpahics blame the developers and not your clich sony hype argument.

Oh and just ignore threedaysdwn when he makes ANY comments about the PS3, he sooo M$ bias he ****es bright green ;)

right now anything he says about a machine noone has seen is absolute nonsense, and even if he had any valid points, they can be countered, just as he counters points himself, basically hes a good debator, thats about it. I dont mean to insult anyone, but what else do you call someone trying desperatley to sway people to his opinion that the "PS3 is not as powerful as the 360" with no real facts?

So everyone can see from example, THIS is trolling.

Um, so you dont have a problem with jmole's flame-bait on page 1 of this thread, the one which opened the flood-gates? :rolleyes:

Sweeney (lead programmer) said he was happy Sony went with NVIDIA for PS3's graphics processor. He also said that its developer friendly and "...allows us to get the best-looking games up and running much more quickly."

He he, Sweeney is probably the biggest sell-out in the industry. :rofl: :whistle:

Never said I did, so why dont you not assume something like that buddy.

I do feel his comment was flame baiting, but I also feel that even if he didn't post it, there would still be similar comments to follow.

Ouch! Pxleyes, I understand where you're coming from but I have to call you out on this comment. You're saying trolling is OK because the other side will do it anyways? Trolling is trolling and it just seems you're against PS3 trolling, but XBox trolling is OK.

No, I'm not saying trolling is ok. I am simply saying that regardless of the troll post on the first page, the odds are that trolls from the opposite side would still do their own trolling.

I am hardly trying to defend the initial troll post on the first page. Just an observation as a pattern of other threads.

I should have been more clear. The PS3 doesn't actually exist yet. Until it does, his claim that it's more powerful than the X360 is rubbish.

If the PS3 matches the specs currently made available by Sony, it will have some advantages (theoretical geometry/vertex horsepower) and some disadvantages (architecture is bad for high resolutions, AA, and HDR).

Since it isn't released, it's impossible to say anything for sure.

John Carmack said that the PS3 might have a slightly more powerful CPU. First off, he was probably referring to Sony's theoretical numbers when he said this. But as I've said a dozen times, the PS3's problem won't be the Cell - it will be the overall system architecture (in particular, the memory architecture and the GPU).

I have no idea what additional features/specs/online support Sony plans to offer. But until they announce something, I'll assume that they think the Cell and a couple exclusive games are going to win this battle for them. But Microsoft and Nintendo have realized the importance of community to gamers. So far it doesn't look like Sony has.

No, it's called stating the obvious about what goes on in the console section and joking about it, but aparently people take it too seriously. It's no different then what gets posted on here on daily basis, its unfortunate that they can't just shrug it off or ignore it or even laugh about it, but take it as an insult like a console was their child or something and it was being offended.

And your the one who really shouldn't lecture me on flame baiting: Neowin

many of these PS3 claims are really forcing me to think of it as BS3

Obviously it must exist or developers wouldn't be making games for it.
f the PS3 matches the specs currently made available by Sony, it will have some advantages (theoretical geometry/vertex horsepower) and some disadvantages (architecture is bad for high resolutions, AA, and HDR).
It's unbelievable that you keep saying this despite the fact that there are PS3 developers saying they are using high resolutions, AA, and HDR in their games. Edited by jmole

    • New AMD graphics driver fixes install issues and FSR 4.1 crashes on RX 7000 GPUs

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New AMD graphics driver fixes install issues and FSR 4.1 crashes on RX 7000 GPUs by Taras Buria AMD is rolling out yet another graphics driver. Version 26.6.4 is now available for download, bringing two important fixes. One is for those still using Windows 10 and having trouble installing driver 26.6.2. In fact, this patch is coming from the recently released hotfix, so it is not new if you are already running version 26.6.3. The second fix is for RX 7000 owners. AMD recently brought FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen graphics cards, but there was a bug with certain games crashing when using FSR 4.1. I experienced this issue with Forza Horizon 6, so today's driver should take care of that. Here is the official changelog: Intermittent install issue seen when installing AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 on Windows® 10 systems for Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Intermittent application crash may be observed in some games with AMD FSR Upscaling 4.1 enabled on Radeon™ RX 7000 series graphics products. Known issues include the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield™ 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield™ 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield™ 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon™ RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. You can download the AMD Radeon driver 26.6.4 from the official website here. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • Amazon may use OpenAI and Nova models after Anthropic reportedly raises costs

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Amazon may use OpenAI and Nova models after Anthropic reportedly raises costs by Karthik Mudaliar Amazon is reportedly considering to use OpenAI models and even its own Nova family of AI models after Anthropic raised the cost of using Claude inside Amazon services. According to a report from The Information, Amazon is weighing its options to reduce costs under a new arrangement with Anthropic. But back in April, Amazon said it would invest $5 billion more in Anthropic, with the possibility of adding up to another $20 billion if certain commercial milestones are met. That investment actually came on top of another $8 billion Amazon had already put into the Claude maker. Anthropic, meanwhile, committed to spend more than $100 billion over 10 years on AWS technologies, including Amazon’s Trainium chips. Amazon isn't just a customer of Anthropic but also one of the most important backers and cloud partners. This is why it makes it interesting that Amazon is considering other alternatives to handle its internal workloads. Although Amazon has been building its own options for a while now. Its Nova family of AI models was announced in late 2024 for Amazon Bedrock, with models aimed at text, image, and video tasks. Amazon pitched the model around cost and latency at that time. With that said, OpenAI has also become a more realistic option recently for AWS customers as well as for Amazon itself. Earlier this year, OpenAI brought its latest models and Codex coding agent to Amazon Bedrock, after changes to its previously more restrictive Microsoft cloud arrangement. This allowed AWS to serve even those customers who wanted other alternatives from Claude, without having to move workloads out of Amazon's cloud. Evaluating alternatives could also be due to commercial pressure and not necessarily a sign of a damaged partnership between Amazon and Anthropic. Whether or not Amazon is actually considering switching entirely to OpenAI's models or its own Nova models remains unknown at this moment.
    • Samsung introduces new AI classroom tools and interactive displays at ISTELive 2026

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Samsung introduces new AI classroom tools and interactive displays at ISTELive 2026 by Fiza Ali Samsung has announced several new education-focused software features and interactive displays for schools during ISTELive 2026, taking place in Orlando, Florida, from 28 June to 1 July. The focus of these updates is on making shared classroom displays easier to use for teachers while giving IT administrators more control over managing devices. One of the key additions is the Samsung Account Management Solution (AMS). In many schools, multiple teachers share the same interactive display throughout the day, which means signing in and setting everything up can become repetitive. With AMS, teachers can log in by scanning a QR code or tapping an NFC-enabled ID card. Once signed in, their personalised workspace, including wallpapers, bookmarks, app shortcuts, and files, can be instantly accessed through Home Personalisation. Samsung has also included a screen lock feature, allowing teachers to lock the display if they need to step away briefly. Furthermore, the company is also updating its Education Portal with new tools designed for school IT administrators. The portal will allow IT administrators to register teachers, enrol devices, and manage user access from a central dashboard. Administrators can also link NFC cards to teacher accounts, making sign-ins quicker across shared displays. Another addition is a Tags feature that lets schools organise displays by building or classroom. Those tags can also be used to send emergency notifications to selected Samsung Interactive Displays through compatible platforms such as InformaCast and Raptor. Moreover, the tech giant's AI Assistant is gaining several new features aimed at supporting everyday classroom tasks such as lesson planning and classroom engagement. One of the features is Circle to Search, which lets teachers circle text or images on the display to quickly find related information, videos, or web results without interrupting the lesson. The content can then be brought into Samsung Whiteboard. Another feature, Live Transcript, converts spoken lessons into real-time captions, which could be useful for students with hearing impairments or those in multilingual classrooms. The AI Assistant also introduces AI Summary and AI Quiz. The summary tool creates summaries of recorded lessons, while AI Quiz generates questions based on lesson content so teachers can quickly check how well students are following along. Teachers signed in through Samsung AMS can also return to their previous AI-generated lesson materials without logging in again. Alongside the software updates, Samsung has expanded its Android-based Interactive Display range with three new models: the WAF-S, WAFX-PS, and WAHX-M. The WAF-S and WAFX-PS ship with Android 16, bringing updates to security, accessibility, and overall usability while maintaining compatibility with Google's education services including Google Classroom and Google Drive through EDLA certification. Meanwhile, the new WAHX-M is the biggest addition to the lineup, introducing a 98-inch display for larger spaces such as lecture halls and conference rooms. It will also be available in 65-inch, 75-inch and 86-inch sizes. Samsung says the WAHX-M further includes on-device AI features such as voice commands, text-to-speech, and an AI calculator, alongside support for Samsung AMS and AI Assistant. Samsung AI Assistant has been available since April, while Samsung AMS and the updated Education Portal will begin rolling out in July.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount

      By JayZJay · Posted

      It's been $24 (single) or $89 (4-pack) for many days on both Amazon and Walmart as far as I know. That isn't a big discount. If these end up like the 1st gen, the 4-pack will routinely get down around $80, give or take a dollar. I think they have even hit $69 at times.
