Digital distribution is the future but that is going to take a long time to happen and right now hd-dvd or blu-ray make sense. Not a lot people have the hard drive capacity to collect a bunch of high def movies and most people dont even have a fast enough download speed to conviniently download hd-movies.
#77 If Patrick is right about cell letting developers do more things then why would they just limit themselves to just adding more enemies. I'm sure there are many talented and creative developers out there that would take advantage of this power. Graphically they might end up being equal but if Patrick was right the difference maybe the different things you can do at the same time, such as environmental effects (rain, snow), particle effects, water effects, lighting, realistic physics and animations, and etc. Well all those things might take time to happen or not happen at all but it I think those are the things that might differentiate a ps3 game from a xbox360 game.
Really cant judge these games and the PS3 based on these pictures because the quality of the pictures are not that good. Also comparing these low resolution pictures of unfinished games to finished games in high-def is kind of unfair. Best way to judge these games is to see it in motion because sometimes screen shots makes the game look worse. Here is an example http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/702/702493/img_3486950.html Theres an awful amount of jaggies in the buildings but in motion that wouldn't be there.
One or two people saying negative things about nintendo is not bashing...just to go to any sony thread then you will truly know what bashing is, but if your a nintendo or xbox fanboy or you just hate sony its like heaven.
I really did not expect nintendo to give out a lot of information because its GDC but I did expect them show a little of what the new controller can do. A pre-E3 demo, just to build a little more excitement before the big show. But I guess I'm going to have to wait. The compatability with old sega games is cool but nothing really revolutionary. Most people are amazed by it but I think if Sony did this most people would say "What is so next-gen with old Sega games"
I agree with bv(#8) that the characters look graphically better than the ones in Kameo or other 360 games but the environment and the level design is kind of bland and boring. Also in Kameo there were a lot more thins going on in the background. But they do have a lot of time to add stuff so this probably isn't the final product.
