"A new world of entertainment is about to unfold"
13 Oct 2005 10:16 | Webmaster | Playstation 3
PS3Today.com | Link to this article

Those are the words of Kazunori Yamauchi, President, Polyphony Digital, VP Development SCEI, in a recent Q&A session held by Sony. Yes, this is straight from Sony’s PR department, but it should be said that much of what you read about the 360 have roots in the Xbox PR camp as well. So this is no better no worse, and frankly I don’t blame either side for trying. In fact, the ideal situation is that all three next-gen consoles succeed, and hoping for anything else is the same as wetting yourself to stay warm, and we all know the long-term outcome of that solution…

Anyway, here is the full press release.

Q&A Answered By Kazunori Yamauchi, President, Polyphony Digital, VP Development SCEI :

When you first started working in the games industry did you ever think it would be as big as it is now? And when you first started playing videogames did you ever imagine they could be this cool?

No I did not expect the game business to expand the way it did, nor did I think games would be considered "cool" when I first started playing. However, when we started the PlayStation format, our most important objective was to make games a cool thing. To think that has been accomplished brings a feeling of great satisfaction.

What have been your favourite PlayStation projects to work on?

That would have to be having been part of the start-up team for PlayStation. Software strategies, hardware design, or details of the designs of the controller were all decided by this small group. My family runs a cram school, and the students helped us by being the first testers of the PlayStation controller, which was then still in development. Hardware teams and software teams worked closely together in a family-like atmosphere to help the PlayStation project move forward.

With the advent of PS3, are there any concepts that have you've been dreaming about for years that, with the new technology, can now be brought to fruition?

Though difficult to explain in detail at this time, perhaps I can share the possibilities in an abstract way. The PlayStation 3 is the first piece of hardware allowing photo-realistic computer graphics, and is the first game hardware that can perform calculations for physics simulation to the level of our satisfaction. With a matrix of such elements, a new world of entertainment is about to unfold. This is the beginning of a world, different to that of what we have called "games" up to today.

Where do you see the future of gaming, what areas do you think will change in the future?

I see the future of gaming changing, as it shifts away from packaged products, to service via network. This will vary from casual and open loosely coupled services, to more tightly coupled services for MMORPGs.

Do you feel we've had the 'golden age' of gaming, or are we seeing it now?

I feel we are seeing it now. However I don't think the industry can continue linear growth in the form we see today. Rather, I would think the dynamic industry structure will change form as it continues to grow.

If you could transport yourself into a game which one would it be?

Gran Turismo. I would then be able to drive 'till I die. Car - my favourite!

What's your funniest PlayStation moment at E3?

This was back in 1999 when we had GT2 showing at E3. As always, we worked until the very last minute at the Polyphony Digital studio in Japan to prepare the demo version for the show. Qualities we had hoped for were difficult to achieve, and I remember spending 100 hours in the development room prior to departure,with no sleep at all.I started sleeping the instant I was seated on my plane to LA, and did not wake up until we had arrived. I didn't even take advantage of the seat reclining, nor go to the restroom throughout the flight, and I cannot recall take-off and landing either. I had warped from Tokyo to LA in a blink of an eye.

Describe, in ten words or less, what sums up PlayStation for you?

PlayStation is not just a platform, it's a movement.

I admire Sony because their doing a lot of new stuff with their console this time, I mean the stuff their putting into the system is pretty cool, well I'm not a fanboy but I haven't been this excited in a long time.

That game Heavenly Blade looks pretty cool, can't wait to play it, kinda reminds me of god of war in a sense, they even joked about it saying it was called goddess of war at E3.

I think he was talking about the technology and some of the games, can't blame the guy for trying to speak his mind, if you guys took the time to look up what's coming out for the consoles you know what he's talking about okay.

The only games that look like actual gameplay are I-8, Killing Day, and the new trailer for War Hawk at the Tokyo game show.

Well thats all I have to say, I'm not going to flame because it's pointless to to argue over something so trivial and I don't want to waste my energy to start with people I don't know.

Everybody is talking about NEXT-GEN, revolutions, a new gaming world... The only thing i see from XBOX and SONY is better graphics and physics. I wouldn't call that next-gen but upgrade. Nintendo is comming out with a nice idea with their remote but I still leave me hungry. I would love to see something new, i dont know something like an eyetoy that interacts with the game in a kind of emotion detector, something really revolutionary, or a least a new kind of game. Right now i consider theses are upgraded consoles not next gen. Better gfx, AI, online or physics are just not next-gen for me.
I would love someone the convince me else.


13 - Next Gen
Unregistered - Q and A 10.13.2005 13:06
Well the only game that was original was God Of War it wasn't some traiditional action game, but it did something different so I guess when Sana Monica Studios finish with the last two games they'll move on to something better.

Well I guess if some other studio makes an original game and concept I guess that would be considered Next-Gen maybe a war between the scottish clans or a game where your a necromancer, just throwing some ideas.

Sony, Blu-Ray Discs, those are Def. Next-Gen, RSX graphics card, Next-Gen, some say its based off of the Current 7800, but everything new is based off of something older. The Cell, definately next-gen.
Xbox360, not next-gen

At least make sense when making these fanboy comments. :-P The guy that just says BULLSHIT might look like more of an idiot. But you call PS3's GPU next-gen, yet X360's isn't? They're the ones coming with new tech in their GPU, instead of PS3. Luckily PS3 still has the CPU and Blu-ray (which isn't that important if you have a HDD for example, still, it's pretty handy), but still: Try to at least stay a little realistic. They're both def. "Next-gen", though I get the feeling people think next-gen needs to come with innovative material in general. There was nothing "innovative" about the PS1 (Sega beat em to it), the MASTER DRIVE, Xbox, PS 2, GC, etc. Maybe some minor details, but nothing spectacular. So why expect it now? The only innovative thing is Revolution's controller, and we still will have to see if that even catches on.

and i remeber ken k saying that he will pay every one to have a ps3 , so no need to fork out any money to get one.
and another thing he said is that each ps3 is going to contain a tiny einstien (to do the physics in realtime) and a tiny vangough (to actually paint tha graphics in realtime) and its also going to contain the entire internet inside a prison cell thing that processes things . wow ken your my hero

360 is not next-gen eh? but the only real-time footage of ps3 is mgs4, i-8, warhawk, by the way killing day is not real *rolls eyes* so those three games are not even as good as most 360 titles, but somehow ps3 is next-gen??

poor example of a game but look at Kameo, 5000 characters on screen all with their own AI and detailed next-gen gfx, no slow down whatsoever and you call that an "upgrade" shame on you silly boy.

PAUL CERULA 10.13.2005 15:40
Sony fans do yourself a favor and REALIZE THAT THE XBOX 360 AND PS3 ARE SO CLOSE IN PERFORMANCE. THE CELL IS JUST ANOTHER VERSION OF A PROCESSOR AND THE BLU RAY JUST LETS YOU NOT SWITCH A DVD OR HD DVD IF YOU NEED TO.(which doesn't matter). There's no reason to get a different format of a processor.

Thanks Vivicious, that video nearly had me in tears.

The punching the floor bit is without a doubt an instant classic, I'm going to see if I can replicate next time I'm at a LAN.

Hey Vivicious I saw that video! LOL Dude was pissed! LOL! I think instead of the ''X Box'' they should call it the ''Stress Box'' LOL! so basically X Box Live is making u Stressed LIVE in ur OWN HOME! lol I never liked the x Box I was always with Sony I started with Sony and all the way with Sony I am! I measn how great is this! Note that the last Gen GameCube sucked bad....They needed Capcom to actually get people to buy GameCubes....X Box sucked as well......the only they they had was......more power,speed and the Halo series. And PS2 was the first official ''High Graphic'' platform to release and had the lowest speed,lowest power. But sold the most out of ALL 3 platforms. PLUS the games REALLY drawed more people to by a PS2. Sometimes it's not always the power that wins, Its the games. And NOW!, Sony will have it ALL! The most power+ beauty+most speed+ The best games! Which will TOO EASILY make them the #1 platform in the world! PS3 is TWICE the speed of the X Box 360 and 35 times faster than the PS2. Sounds like PS3 would have no loading..... PS3 is 10 TIMES more powerful than the most powerfulest PC in the WORLD today! So prepare Stress Box fans! To be stressed 360 TIMES!!LOL!....PS3 is #1! kutaragi.......''sniffles''I'm so proud of ya man!

The 360 are like mercenaries set out to convert as many Sony fans as they can before the 360 comes out. Please 360 fans "Stop wasting your breath". You may want to bash the PS3 controller but at the end of the day it looks better than the 360 controller and guess what, it might become the most comfortable one too. For you who keep on calling the PS3 a grill, well guess that grill will fry the 360's anus. You can look past the fact that the PS3 design looks light year ahead of the 360. Stop your bragging about Xbox Live, because Sony is about to show you all what online games should be all about. Quit your whinning about the 360 games, because to be honest so far Microsoft doesn't have any killer games. Stop complaining about the PS3 graphics, we all can clearly see that Microsoft's graphics are not all that impressive as a matter of fact the 360's graphic is repressive, and this is why you keep on asking for PS3 gameplay, well guess what they are coming, and you will be stunned on how they look from the 360 gameplay. So enjoy your 360 this winter while the PS3 fans wait for the animal to be released next year because it will be an onslaught.

Unregistered - Truth 10.14.2005 04:06
I'm pretty amazed this topic hasn't turned into a flame war yet ( -knocks on wood- ). Good comments all around.

The only difference I see in the PS3 as opposed to the XBOX 360 is the Cell processor. As far as graphics go I don't see one really having as huge advantage as some may like. Back to the Cell processor though: http://www.blachford.info/computer/Cell/Cell0_v2.html , this article is one of the most comprehensive pieces of information released that I've read on it thus far. The guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about and if true then yeah, I believe it will unlock new gateways in the way we play games in the near future.


45 - Well Actually...
Nodieza 10.14.2005 06:48
Actually you guys are wrong again about graphics. The modern Gpu's are so powerful that there isn't a processor or multicore processor that can maxamize them yet. For example, if you bought the new Nvidia GTX and have a 2 gig pentium 4 computer you still wouldn't be able to run games at 1600 x 1200 just because the cpu can't keep up or feed that powerful mofo video card enough info(maybe a supercomputer), it would run smooth but skip every 5 or 10 seconds to reload the cache and maybe even crash on the 2 gig. So in other words the better the processor the better the graphics CAN BE untill they maxamize the gpu, but I doubt that would happen since sony still hasn't maxamized the emotion engine yet and I am certain the xbox gpu can do better as well.Memory is also important, it is a true fact that if ps2 had as much memory as xbox they'd be producing very similar graphics because the emotion engine is quite powerful(it can produce HDR lighting and has been since I C O, which is one hell of and effect that most cpu gpu's can't even run yet) And as a side note anyone who says sony lied about there ps2 tech demos is a retard, am I the only one here who has seen them? The bouncer made those tech demos look bad, so stop listening to rumors and find out the facts... anywas also as a side note: why do you think it's such a big deal that ps3 games will be runnning at 1080P and 1080I? Because it requires one hell of a beastly processor to do so, never mind on 2 Outputs at once! So technicaly speaking if the cell is a better processor we may see better graphics sooner on the ps3 than 360 just because it'll be able to better utalize the gpu, even if it was the exact same as 360's. Also stop saying cell and multicore processors are the same! Have you ever heard of a multicore producing grapics on it's own? Does it provide for the sounds as oposed to 360's sound chip? There is a HUGE difference... Peace Out! (sorry for the long informative post)

I am a HUGE Xbox fan. But that doesn't mean that I don't want the PS3 to kick @ss too.

I really hope these consoles (all three) do so well that each owns about a third of the console market, so we gamers can benefit from the STIFF competetion that the three companies would come out with in order to try to get an edge over the next guy.

Wouldn't that be great?

SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS may be scared away from developing for Sony’s PS3 by the colossal investment required. And many may plumb for the Volish Xbox, instead a report suggests.
Japanese site ZakZak, translated here [link removed], muses on the upcoming battle between the PS3 and Xbox 360 and fears Sony’s demanding standards could put it at a disadvantage. Their source suggests that developing software for the PS3 from scratch requires an initial investment of at least 2 billion yen (US $17.6 million) and that’s before they start.

"There are not many software companies that can easily afford that kind of money,” he said. "This is nothing but a nightmare for many Japanese software development companies."

The sentiment is that many software developers will step towards the Xbox 360. Thanks to their inherent similarities 360 developers could also develop PC titles without incurring high R&D costs.

One developer down to work exclusively for Sony is already questioning whether this was the right decision, we hear.

Next Generation Patterns and Trends
While everyone was in awe of Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid 4 video at Tokyo Game Show, the effects shown in that video are all being executed in 360 games now -- it's just that Kojima makes the greatest preview videos ever, full stop. Some of the features we witnessed in the MGS4 video are in Gears of War, EA's and 2K Sports' games, and more.......

Someone says something bad about the PS3; MS put them up to it. What next? Global warming; microsoft's fault. Unemployment rate; microsoft's fault. High crime; microsoft is probably behind it.

Nodieza 10.14.2005 15:07
Wow I love how everyone skipped over my post, the only damn post filled with facts.

#51 I have some news for you. While the 360 may be capable of producing the same "effects" I guarantee it couldn't run them at 1080P, wait a minute 360 cant run at 1080p... hmmm interestiing. Mgs 4 still has a while to go and I am sure they can add a few more "effects" in. It's funny how they have similar "effects" yet completly different engines, yet again I point out the polygon count, snakes hair has more polygons than a sing GOW character, HIS HAIR! stupid bump mapping, tricks everyone in to thinking they are looking at a well crafted character and I love how specific the word "effects" is... oh and here's another thing, that trailer was runing on an alpha kit, yes alpha, not even close to the ps3. Yet other thing, I can make an honest bet that nobody here saw the Mgs4 trailer in HD or at 60 FPS, well untill you do, you have no right to comment on it because damn it looks a million times better in HD, most of you dont even have an HD monitor.

I bet you all will just ignore this post too. Sorry I actually make points, never mind the fact that they are good ones. Read post #45 and lets strike up some real points!

Thank you my man, now would you mind leaving us alone, in case you forgot this is a PS3 site. I mean commom, why are you 360 fans so obsessed with the PS3, you guys actually spend more time talking about the PS3 than you talk about the 360, when Microsoft fails it won't be because of the PS3fans, but because of you 360fans, go support your 360. I have been on a 360 site and the only article that reached over 100 comments was an article about the PS3. Any article on a 360 site for average has about 30 or so comments. Well it's either 1) You hate the PS3 2)you guys are complete morons 3)You guys like Sony more than Microsoft 4) Deep down inside you are starting to see that the 360 is pure crap & you wanna jump on board with the PS3. All i ask of you 360 guys is a break if you're not buying the PS3 don't waste your breathe on it.

Umm... i think you need to read again. Because the 1080p thing is ONLY for Blu-Ray HD movies, not games. Also, the theoretical output of the RSX is not capable of playing a game such as the old Halo at 1080p either. It is is the math, it is physically impossible.

Also, you're right about the MGS4 demo, it was running on alpha kits, so time will tell. I can't imagine it being a bad looking game come launch time, seeing as how it is one of the few good exclusives they still have left after everyone is jumping ship for the 360's better XNA development kit.

games at 1080p have little or no chance of running properly with the frame rate at 60 fps, but i suppose you figured that one out before the devs eh!!
now imagine two outputs to two HDTV's at 1080p from a single PS3! it aint going to happen just watch for sony's next move they wil drop one of the HDMI ports to "save money" for the "customer" just admit that both PS3 and 360 will be the same but you just have to wait longer for sony's version.

We take no sides, we just support what we like. And even if we do take sides, we don't stuff the good parts of our console in the others faces.

Sony knows they have screwed up.

1- Developers don't want to dev for this system. It is too costly and time consuming.

2- They are losing most exclusive developers.

3- They want to wait for a YEAR before releasing the PS3.

4- They are not showing enough to the consumer to compete with MS's PR dept.

5- They have an outdated Video card, which is technically inferior to ATi's video card in the 360. (If you want third party support for this statement, I can give you a link, or ten.)

6- Opinion polls already show the PS3 sliding in Japan.

Add all this up, and Sony HAS to do something by next Fall, which is the actual release date of the PS3. I am thinking they might actually incoporate a more powerful video card, since the current video card is nothing but a slightly faster clocked 7800GT.

I am guessing since the company is facing slowly slipping stock prices and investment delays, due to market doubt, they will pull an ace out of their sleeves to make this system a little more powerful than the 360.

They really don't have a choice if they don't want to lose a lot of market share.

Xbox360 is going to be a good console because they /have/ to make it at least decent or otherwise it would be a waste of money. It is going to have similar physics and graphics, and is going to have its good games. Stop arguing against that guys. Ps3 will be good too! It will have excellent graphics, good games, and stuff because it /has/ to be. It has to be good. Right now Sony is on the right track, just moving at an akward pace and making things very cloudy. Give this to time. Soon information will be released, soon real-time videos will come out. Don't worry.

Stop arguing and listen to me.

Unregistered - Cynical Gamer 10.14.2005 16:46
Punk Street I'm pretty sure that the rumour about developers leaving the PS3 are true but we are looking at it from the wrong perspective.

If you go video game shopping in Akihabara you see that there are hundreds of video games available on the PS2 that we will never even see a preview or a screenshot of here in the west. My main recollection was of the Simple2000 series of games.

This series is made up of simple (funny given the series' name) games, cheaply made and sold. They seemed to cover all bases driving, action etc with quite a few point and click style forensic detective and legal games.

Anyway I think it is these sort of boutique developers who are feeling the pinch in respect of the development requirements of the PS3. If Sony as stated require all games to be on Blu-ray to crack down on piracy the increased manufacturing costs will reduce their margins. Microsoft could buy a lot of goodwill in Japan by riding to the rescue.

We don't have this sort of market here in the west so I think we were all a bit to eager to assume it was the bigger developers who were jumping ship. This won't have any effect on us here in the west but it could give Microsoft the foot in the door they so desperately need in japan.

1080P is going to be the ps3 "STANDARD for most games" what do you think the P stands for? Pan Scan, which is when a HD TV runs the game at 60fps and doesn't do the cross interlacing that a normal TV does (normal Tv's can only display 30fps), so runing in 1080p at 60fps is a must, it wouldn't be 1080p if it didn't run or display 60fps so #61 You make no sense AT ALL, Give me facts. #59 It's definitly for games as well, it's sort of the whole goal for Sony is to get the majority of the games running on 1080p, at least 1080i. What does halo have to do with anything? I run that at 1600 x 1200 on my cpu at 86fps, good enough for me, why would I want 1080p on that game? It would just show it's flaws. Hah Dynasty Warriors for the ps3 is what I am looking for, pure bordem induced button mashing fun! Hopefully it'll have havok physics, that would rock. #66 Nerds study and actually RETAIN the info unlike tards like you who just go on forums to piss ppl off

#68 Thank You, Ugh no 1080P Tv's are exspensive put I have a 1080i Monitor which I will be hooking my ps3 up to untill I can afford a 1080p TV

#69 I doubt the video card is an overclocked 7800Gt because that would mean the 850xt platinum I just bought is better... I think not, remember these are CUSTOM Gpu's designed for the systems specifics, as long as it can run the shaders good enough it doesn't matter how "good" the video card is, speed isn't all that matters it's shader support and Nvidia has shader model 3 while ati doesn't, it'll still look better than anything we know. Not sure about your comment about the Developers, I've heard complete opposite. Guess We'll wait and see. I think sony is really going to suprise everyone with their online support... but that's just me.

Has anyone seen the video where they took a digital pic of this Japanese girl and used Cell to manipulate her photo?, it's creepy because everything looked so real, her exspressions and such... there is lots of potential in that alone....

God Honestly both systems will be GREAT it just comes down to one question, Who's the better guitarist; Van Halen or Hendrix? Catch the parallelism? It's just whatever your looking for in the system, some people like 70's blues others like 80's guitar riffs.... all opinion... Peace Out!

you just convinced me you have no clue what your on about, the "P" stands for progressive scan not pan scan you chump, and their games are not required to run at 1080p where as MS has insisted that all games come with 720p as standard, also 12% of people on this earth own a HDTV and out of all the HDTV's out there there is only 2% that are 1080p and they cost roughly £1800/$3400 for an ok one, so while sony goes down the crazy route MS give you a viable option of 720p set which are not that dear i just picked one up for £799.

C'mon guys by now you should know that the pc is a very large investment for people who don't already have one. So stop impressing your biased opinions, we get it. Here's the indisputable truth. The ps3 and xbox 360 are incredibly similar in performance and the PC is a very expensive adventure, if you even like pc games. The xbox 360 graphics card is still to be compared with a PC one, I've heard that Xbox 360's is even better than PS3's, so why is there a debate that the ps3 is so much more next gen when all the ps3 has is a new form of a processor and blu ray, which only keeps you from getting off your couch to change a (hd) dvd. PEOPLE REALLY YOU NEED TO REALIZE THIS DEBATE IS OVER, PS3 AND XBOX 360 HAVE VERY SIMILAR PERFORMANCE. Revolution is already admitted by the president to be not as powerful, so all they have going for them is the same narrow-minded gamecube outcasts from before, oh yah and a new controller which would dumb down fps' and other game genres. IT'S OVER, IF YOU WANT ONLINE PLAY AND GOOD AMERICAN ACTION AND FAST PACE GAMES THAN GET XBOX 360. IF YOU WANT FANTASY RPG GAMES GET PS3. IF YOU WANT TO DEDICATE A LOT OF MONEY AND INVEST FURTHER IN SQUEEZING OUT A TINY BIT MORE POWER FOR YOUR PC THAN STAY WHERE YOU ARE. IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO SELL YOURSELF TO A COMPANY INSTEAD OF THEIR PRODUCTS AND CONTINUE TO PLAY CHILDISH DULL GAMES GET A REVOLUTION. All other games are on both or even all three next gen consoles so this is your decision.

It can show amazing graphics like Resident evil 4, Doom 3, and the new Farcry game like the others. So, whats wrong with it? Whats with this HD garbage and stuff affecting the FPS and making it look better? Do I /have/ to have an HDTV to see the amazing graphics from the 360 and Ps3? Can I still have Next-gen effects and such with my TV?

Because I simply can't shell over 2000$ for a TV that will make my games run smoother, unless of course I have to. And besides, I've seen HDTV's at Bestbuy and BJ's and honestly, the picture looks worse then my 15 year old TV. Really. The TV's were darker, fuzzy, blotchy and with white dots in them. All besides for one, which was 5000$.

Go sit in the corner? Wow most of you are rude pricks, pan is just short term lingo so you don't have to spell out progressive dip wad.

#77 I am glad you asked, its actually quite complicated and some of it is hope that they will come out with the adapter in HD format, it's mostly just converters but I'll have to hope they make HD ones, my friend runs all his ps2 games on his monitor for the 60 frames, the main difference though is nothing is anti aliased unlike the TV which antialiased everything so to some it looks worse. The monitor I have is the " 19" MFM-HT95 HT-Series PC/TV " It costs a pretty penny but damn is it sweet. The 1080p rez is 1920 x 1080 like you said, but the rez on this monitor is native 720 but can go to 1080i. I will post a more detailed way to hook the ps3 up to monitor, just give me a few days to get all the correct names of plugs, etc.

#79 Nice google search on those percents buddy, HD Tv's price will drop, if you remember sony makes Tv's plus they are in close relation with Toshiba, I am certain they'll make things work out for the benefit of both sales of Hd tv's and ps3's. Plus ps3 can always down resoloution to 720 if you dont have a 1080p tv, so you can still buy that "viable option of 720p".

#80 Your monitor is flashing 60 times per second, that's what 60hz is. frame rate is different in the fact that thats how many frames show up per flash, so in other words if you have it set to 60hz and are running a game at 85 FPS you wouldn't notice the extra 25 frames but at a refresh rate of 85 you would see the 85 frames flash per second, make sense? I set my monitor at 85hz because anything less hurts my eyes because I can see the spaces imbetween flashes. Talking out my arse? You guys are ignorant I swear. Next gen is going to make my computer look bad, 3 gig processor compared to multicores running at 3.2 gig each, come on man wake up. Halo doesn't require much, this was the last computer I am ever going to buy, I upgraded so I can play F.E.A.R flawlessley and now that I will be able to, I am set. But remember the video card I just bought almost cost as much as a 360....

#81 12 years old my ass how about getting up at 8, go to Full Sail, get home at 5, go to work, get home at 9, type on this forum, go back to full sail for labs at 12 then get home at 2 and sleep and repeat. Shut the f up retard, get a job and a life before you start calling young adults 12 year olds.

#88 No just because you are only seeing 30 of the 60 frames availible doesn't mean your gaming exsperience is lost but man once you play games at 60fps it's hard to go back to 30. Yes you'll be able to play next gen on your TV they just wont "look as good" as some might say.

#94 We shouldn't stoop to their level, just let them talk shiz, and we'll have the real discussions. I am not a fanboy, just an informative who perfers the Playstation based on my know how and a person who is sick of rumors, they need to be dispelled.

Wow all these facts, you think I'am paying $60,000 to go to school to learn about this stuff, oh wait I AM... Peace Out! Good Night Ya'll

So that means.. damn. I won't be able to enjoy the Ps3 that much because of the retarded prices of the HDTV's? Man. Thats so unfair. Well, time to mow some already dead lawns. -Sigh-

Pan scan is different to progressive scan, pan scan just changes the as[ect ratio (widescreen/Normal screen) Progressive scan means drawing the odd and even scan lines in order without interlacing. Progressive scan by itself does not improve resolution.

Ugh...Do I have to go over my reasons for why I think the PS3 has a good chance of releasing worldwide again? Guess so...

1) If Sony can't manufacture enough Cell chips fast enough, they can get some from IBM or Toshiba.

2) If Sony can't manufacture Blu-Ray drives fast enough, they can buy some from BenQ, Hitachi, LG, HP, Panasonic, Pioneer, and Samsung. Most likely Samsung though, because they have some arrangement with them. However, I'm sure that any of these companies would supply some Blu-Ray drives (at reduced or manufacturing cost) to Sony to make sure there are enough Playstation 3s, the device that will most likely propel Blu-Ray far ahead of HD-DVD.

The only two things that should be worried about for shortages of a worldwide launch would be Blu-Ray drives and the Cell Processor. The GPU is being manufactured by Nvidia, which is just as capable of supplying high-end graphics cards as ATI is (if not more qualified). Bluetooth devices and li-ion batteries can be modified from Sony Ericsson cell phones. The list goes on...

I'm not saying that the PS3 will launch worldwide, I'm just saying that people shouldn't be underestimating Sony all of a sudden. Since when was Sony the underdog in the video game industry??

The response from Sony Sheep is amazing. Sony keeps their customers through high expectations, vague information, and most importantly taking advantage of the great part of naive americans.

Seems they think PS3 is the superior console:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that you’ve been working with the Xbox 360 hardware and have you’ve certainly become familiar with the specs and technology of the PS3, what is your opinion on the differences in regards to making your games?

Akari Uchida: Technologically, the PS3 does offer more rendering and shading passes and its CPU power is impressive, but the Xbox 360’s online offerings are definitely superior. I think that Rumble Roses XX would serve as a great party game so that people living far away can still have fun with it online with the tag team matches, and in that respect, the Xbox 360 is the perfect console for the series.

In the absence of any news whatsoever for the PS3 I'm off to waste my time somewhere else.

I'd just like to get somethings off my chest before I leave though.

At the moment the Xbox 360 is the only real console out of the next gen systems (it's in production and people have had a chance to play on the final hardware). The PS3 is nothing but a prototype casing, an A4 sheet of numbers and some videos. The Revolution is a prototype casing and a controller. The fanboys might be sold on the numbers on that piece of paper and the videos but for me the PS3 won't be impressive untill I see it do something impressive. I find the Revolution more impressive than the PS3 at this point because at least the controller concept lets me imagine what sort of gameplay innovations they can produce.

As I've said before I will own all 3 next gen consoles and I don't pick favourites. For me games do the talking and Sony seem to be a mute.

Nintendo Revolution to go on sale for $99?Oct 10, 2005 @ 4:08 am · Filed under Nintendo Revolution

Lately, there’s been a fair amount of speculation on all things Revolution-related, such as whether these leaked technical specifications are the real deal. Next up seems to be the Revolution’s price: will it really be as low as $99? Recent rumors surfacing on the internet seem to suggest that this is quite possible.

The argument in favor of this price point is that the Revolution will be the least powerful of the three consoles, and will require game developers to significantly modify games in order to achieve cross-platform playability due to the Revolution’s unique controller and reduced power.

However, since Nintendo is largely reliant on exclusive titles, their choice to go for “lightweight” hardware may work to their advantage by making the console easier to develop for.

But could it sell for $99?

Examining recent comments made by Nintendo president Saturo Iwata seems to indicate that this is possible. In an interview with television network G4, Iwata conceded that Nintendo’s next generation console would be less powerful, saying,

“If you are just going to compare the spec sheets and spec numbers, Revolution may not have an equal or higher number as the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.”

He went on to say that he wished to expand the gaming population with the launch of the Revolution, attracting non-gamers to the world of gaming by way of its intuitive new controller, and, it would seem, a lower price tag. Iwata stated that

“Revolution’s price must be affordable for non-gamers”

and indicated that even gamers who bought the PS3 and Xbox 360 would likely purchase the Revolution - a feat not likely to be achievable unless the Revolution is priced significantly lower than Microsoft and Sony’s next-generation offerings.

Iwata, however, stopped short of giving a price point for the Revolution in his interview, leaving gamers and Nintendo fans to speculate on the possibility of a significantly cheaper next-generation console.


man if this really going to happen,..... i am going to buy Revolution... sooo kick a$ cheap. Oh wait oh cos...i am going to buy PS3....n fuk 360.

aint it funny how all the ps3 fanboys say sh1t like " i dont like the games for the 360 , nothing new , and the all look boring" then go on to rave about 3 games for the ps3 ie mgs4 dmc 4 and vision granturisimo . 3 games that are not new and that are very boring.
i also find it funny when they say that halo is sh1t (without ever playing it) then go on to claim every new fps for their sony console a halo beater.
do you realise how dumb you sound ???
another funny one is how they say the 360 gfx are worse than the xbox ???? haha thats so funny . and just how great the ps3 is (without ever seeing any thing running on it or playing it) you guys crack me up
i think they should hold a ps3 comedy night and all the fanboys get up on stage
that would be the funnyiest thing ever.

Nintendo systems are in the past, the reason I say that is because, their games haven't grown up with the generation of people that was playing their systems back in the day. Revolution will be just the same, another kiddy console, most people today buy a console that the whole family can use, Mum, Dad, Son and Daughter, Nintendo only really caters for 2 of those, the kids.

No offence to Nintendo followers, I used to own NES and SNES, didn't bother with N64, as I was growing too old for the games the system offered.

Warhawk, I-8, Motorstorm and Lair are some new games for PS3 and whatever new title Naughty Dog comes up with. I tell you what is funny though, I just got a game today thats just come out on PC and its also for X360, Brother in Arms Earned in Blood. there's lots more new titles for X360 coming to PC, so I and alot of people on here dont need a 360 to play 360 games, I'll be getting PS3 for its exclusive content.

I'm getting tired of the flamming on this site all this sticking and stabbing at each other is rather boring, Sony's being hush-hush about their console so they won't make the same mistake they made before.

Right now they're planning all their cards and the games are in development so until next year when it's February at the Akihabara ps3 convention or whatever it is they'll keep quiet on their console this year.

Nintendo's controller reminds me of the light gun and that control glove it better not be a failure because they've been screwing up lately, no offense nintendo fanboys but they need to step up this time, I truly hope they deliver this time.

The MG4 demo was running on a early alpha dev kit, so who knows what the actual games will look like when they're on the complete ps3 consoles , so anyways you guys can flame o
