I just commented that the screens looked plausible (after seeing FFXIII) and people get all defensive, you really don't like anybody NOT hating the PS3 huh.

FYI, I don't even own a PS3, but having owned a 360 so far ('bout 3 months now) it's just "meh" Live is ruined by obnoxious teenage wiggers, games are short, have no v-sync, have poor framerates. Plus it's loud, runs hot, etc.

Gears' local co-op is really it's only saving grace.

Anyhoo, this'll be my last post in this shitty thread 'cause going by previous comments... it won't get any better (but I look forward to reading your fanboyish troll-like responses tomorrow, much like every sony related post).

G'night :)

Looks real-time to Me (with the exception of the art work of course).

Why is it so hard to believe... 'cause nothing on the 360 looks as good?
You may not want to face facts, but as time progresses the PS3 is going to outshine the 360 (graphically) by increasingly large margins.

Square-Enix's "White Engine" should be proof enough of this.

Do I win..?

PS3 of course!

Is this an isolated incident, or are there hundreds (thousands?) like the 360s launch?

@67
1080p = 2,073,600px
720p = 921.600px
Thats a little more than 50% more pixels... try 125% (the PS3 has more geometry even!).

PS3 SUPERIOR? hmm... maybe, depends on how much more they can squeeze out of the 360.
But with newer 360 games disabling v-sync, AA or both just to maintain 30fps at 720p (or in a few cases not even actually at 720p) it doesn't seem like the 360 will be able to keep pace as devs learn to use the cell proc at it's full potential.

That comparison would only be relevant if the 360 could output the game in native 1080p.


As for the BC, I wonder if they'll allow region-free PS1/2 compatibility via a software update in the near future.

@ yke

My guess is it'll play anything (via Linux) after Mplayer or MPC are ported.

Which begs the question; How fast can it boot into linux ?

Can the diehard Nintendo Fans tell Me what they have to fall back on when devolopers run out of "things with a handle" games if all the have going for it is the controller?

Games are a visual medium and with the competion using high-end GPUs/CPUs the Wii has a huge hurdle to jump right out of the gate.



ps. graphics & gameplay are not mutually exclusive, personally I'd rather have both.

1. To clarify, I meant if you have a decent set it should have a "Game Mode" or some such setting to disable all the processing i.e.; de-interlacing, color correction, etc.

About the "Pseudo-HDTV" comment; it has nothing to do with OTA tuners, just resolutions, if your set isn't 1080i/p or 720p it's not an HDTV.
1080i, 720p 480&576i/p are the only allowed resolutions (not including anamorphic variations of course) in the U.S. (ATSC), Japan (ISDB) & Europe (DVB). 1280x768 & 1366x768 or any other computer monitor resolution is not technically an HDTV.

So keep enjoying your non-square pixel 15:9 pseudo-HDTV :)

2. Because HDTVs will not accept any non-encrypted HDMI connection, if you want to use HDMI you need HDCP there is no alternative.
Analog Output = No HDCP = No HDMI.

Something wrong with buying a future proof tv?

"Also you still haven’t came up with any good points why HDMI is better then component hook ups."
No need to, because component looses quality during the Digital->Analog->Digital conversion making HDMI better by default.
Even if you personally can't see the quality difference... trust me, it's there.

And your subjective "tests" mean nothing, what looks good to you will most likely look awful to someone else and vica-versa.
