120FPS? Why is he trumpeting that? You can't tell the difference between 40fps and up!

3 - Let's Hope!
Unregistered - Furious 10.31.2005 10:30
Hopefully this means Killzone will run at 60 FPS, the last I heard the current build was having problems reaching 30FPS, but the game is still early in development... I guess Ken is just building hype regarding the power of the cell, let's just hope he doesn't build expectations too high.

4 - crazy "k" & dubya = best buddys

Bull......

8 - Vivicious
Nodieza 10.31.2005 16:29
Vivicious, sorry if I was confusing, no you can't visually see the difference between 60 and 120 frames when a Tv can only flash, 30 (or 60, depending on HD or not) BUT if or when that tv that can display 120fps comes out, no you still wont SEE the difference but your eyes will be much less irritated and they will be decieved into seeing smoother flowing images, Nintendo was talking about stuff like that a while ago saying how much your mind consciencely doensn't like to stare at a tv, like I said anything below 85fps on something that can display 200 (cpu monitor)kills ME, my girlfriend can't tell the difference, but I can... but on a TV 30fps is fine for me. Sorry if I seemed harsh on that last post, Ken isn't crazy, I think it's cool he's trying to push the envelope, even if it's excessive, at least ps3 isn't just an "upgrade" Yay moderators! Hl2 Lost Cost looks so sexy on my Gpu, I bought day of defeat, it's awsome.

About the ignoring my posts, I'd specificly ask YOU questions about Shadow of Col. how far you got etc. and you never responded to any.... yeah that's about it. Peace out


9 - Vivicious, 20gb for games
Nodieza 10.31.2005 16:46
Vivicious, here's the link where they said next gen games will be using 20gb or more. He seems like a trustworthy guy.

I know I've said a million and one times the 360 is superior to the PS3, but recently I've done some studying on the 2 systems and it seems that the PS3 is better than the 360. Besides being technically superior in almost every way the PS3 also has a far larger customer base than does the 360 and only a moron would argue that. Also, if you realy take a good look at 360 game and Xbox games, you'll see that the 360 is not really nexgen, but instead an Xbox 1.5 of sorts. As of this weekend I have gotten a refund on my 360 preorder and am patiently waiting for PS3 preorders to start. I'm strongly advising you, the Xbox 360 is not what you think it will be. Cancel your orders if possible.

I don't understand why so many people anticipate the ps3 to that degree. When sony hasn't given any concrete ingame play demonstrations. Killzone and MGS4 is a hurdle sony has made for themselves to try to meet by that time. I don't know when killzone is planned but if it is at ps3 launch than they won't meet that standard. They'll be slightly under and you'll say well it's close enough. MGS4 is what 2007 or something. You've got to be kidding me when you say that those graphics are what to expect. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT .. ALL YOU HAVE IS SONY'S HYPE.

SO STOP BELIEVING IN THE UNSEEN

I still think ps3 will have marginal better graphics and physics, so you'll have to decide what console is best for you. Xbox 360 is my choice, i'm not a fanboy, you make your choice


17 - 120 fps info
Nodieza 11.01.2005 06:54
quote from one of my friends at psi next

"One of the old tricks I used to do in my PC demoscening days to do something similar to Amiga's HAM mode was to tweak the VGA CRTC registers to get the refresh rate up to 120 Hz. When you did this, and say, flashed blue and red screens alternating on every vretrace, the end result would run together and look to be a purple screen. As you can guess, the common thing to use this for was to draw red and blue pixels in one buffer and green pixels in another buffer and swap them back and forth thereby manage to fake high color modes even though the screen was really 256 colors."

"As you can probably guess, the end result was flickery as hell (most likely due to the nature of what we're doing than anything else), and I can guarantee you the same trick wouldn't work at 60 Hz."

"Human eye latency is measured ~85 ms, but that doesn't mean the eye doesn't keep gathering information in between that time scale. It's just that that's the minimum amount before your brain will actually perceive a series of images as motion (12 fps). But even a pretty poor eye can still collect information beyond 170 fps"

told ya.....


18 - over 120fps is percievable
Nodieza 11.01.2005 07:08
A whole article of proof, now who's the idiot....

This is great! I can't wait to pay for technology that none of our tv's are currently able to use. That means I can get rid of more of my money and give to those who really care and and deserve it, Sony. Even if this is possible at the moment which I doubt, why should we pay for something we can use? Please Ken stop presenting technology that will arrive in the near future as if it is coming today. I think it is great that we will be able to enjoy all these advances soon but just be honest about it and don't mislead us.

20 - stop fighting (Stay true too the games)
Unregistered - TwistedEvil 11.01.2005 14:16
You can fight all day long on witch system will be better PS3 or 360; when the truth is it will be PS3 (in power). HOWEVER The Xbox is the more powerful system now and LOOK who is wining the war PS2, so I think it all comes down too the exclusive titles for each system. I’m big into games like Ratchet & Clank (all 3), Twisted Metal Black, MGS (all 3) and God of War. However, I’m an Xbox fan boy for the reason of that their are more exclusive titles I in joy for it like Star Wars KOTOR 1 & 2, Halo 1 & 2, Mech Assault 1 & 2, Crimson Skies, Far Cry Instincts, Ninja Gaiden, and more. Therefore, witch ever system puts out the better exclusive titles will be number one. END

Ken is boasting about nothing. Reasons why I dont care: 1. You cant visually tell the diverence between 60fps and 120fps so locking framerates at anything over 60fps is pointless. 2. No Tv can refresh at such a framerate and buy the time tvs do no one will want an old PS3, theree will be bigger and better things. 3. Ken is just blowin smoke to build hype. I mean he wasnt exactly telling the truth about ps2, hmm I recall Toystory graphics being one of those promises.

And before I get flamed I want to say I am going to get a PS3 as well as a xbox360 because I think there both great and it is true that the games will sell the system, Im looking forward to Gears of War for x360 and MGS4 for PS3. Im just saying that 120fps is insignificant weather it can be done or not.


22 - F'ing learn to read man....jeez
Nodieza 11.04.2005 06:44
Number 21 did you even read the article I f'ing posted? It's like 2 posts above yours... Your so stupid, you can see far beyond 60fps, god dang people.... your all so dumb. Go buy your 360 and enjoy it for a year, by then I will have a ps3 and a computer that can kick the shiz out of 360.

23 - God dang with the Toy story thing, here's the truth
Nodieza 11.04.2005 06:49
Where the f did Ken say anything about Toystory? Your so f'ing dumb you realize it was xbox who said that about how they can produce toy story 2 graphics in game. Who's the bull shizzer now buddy? I'll even post the article. Now what dumb fu'k get stuff straight, god dang you even got the console wrong... oh and how did sony lie, I see xbox!!!!! Billy is such a liar...

"http://news.com.com/2100-1040-250632.html?legacy=cnet"

One of the basic premises of the Xbox is to put the power in the hands of the artist," Blackley said, which is why Xbox developers "are achieving a level of visual detail you really get in 'Toy Story.'"


BS BS BS BS.... maybe that'll set some of you straight

Vivicious 11.07.2005 20:24
Whoa, sorry Nodieza, but the human eye may be able to tell a difference between 100 and 120 fps for example, but without an extremely fast paced first person shooter with your mouse sensitivity insanely high, you'll never notice the difference. Not just with frame drops of course, but the fluidity of the games will in every other case make absolutely no difference and it seems a pretty silly thing to state at such a conference.

I HOPE ALL THE PEOPLES ARE GETTING MISTAKES THAT XBOX360 IS MORE POWERFULL BUT IT IS NOT ID SOFTWARE MENTIONED ALREADY THAT PS3 IS 20% IS MORE POWERFULL THAN XBOX360 BECOZ THEY ARE THE CREATORS OF GAMES (QUAKE 4 COMPANY).XBOX WAS POWERFULL BECOZ THEY WERE HAVING A SUPPORT OF NVIDIA AND THIS TIME NVIDIA IS WITH PS3 AND THE MAIN THING IS THE CELL.THE PS3 CALCULATIONS HAVE PROVED THAT THEIR PROCESSING POWER IS 2 TERAFLOP AND XBOX360 HAS ONLY 1 TERAFLOP WHICH IS HALF OF IT.

28 - Tech spec comparison of 360 and PS3
Unregistered - BillGatesSucks 11.17.2005 02:58
I found these articles on gamespot. One mentions the specs for the PS3, the other for the 360. Read them and see for yourself.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05/16/news_6124681.html -> for PS3

http://www.gamespot.com/features/6124293/p-3.html -> for 360

But let me do you a favour and sum it up - when it comes down to raw computing ability, the PS3 absolutely without a doubt will kick the xbox 360's ass. I know, I know, it's not all about the muscle, development support also plays a big part in it. After all, what's a great console without any great games to back it up, right? Well, look at the current Playstation 2 and xbox catalogues and tell me which is better? So, all things considered, let's break out the trusty "ass" meter, shall we? Ps3 measurement is buried deep in the "kicks ass" zone and hmmm yep just as I thought the xbox 360 measurement is way down deep in the "sucks ass" zone. The "ass" meter never lies folks.


29 - Back to the original topic...
Unregistered - BillGatesSucks 11.21.2005 18:56
I read that some games on the X360 don't run in true Hi-Def or even at 60 fps. PGR3, the only game touted as X360's true next gen game, has a HD that's not created within the game but is artificially achieved during output. And it also runs at a meger 30 fps! The PS1 can do that! I mean, come on, my Dreamcast can pump out games at 60 fps. Get it together, Microsoft.
