E3: SONY (PS3 and more)

[le geek]

Having watched the microsoft and sony conferences and bits of the Nintendo one, the PS3 looks pretty amazing. The Nvidia section explains why too. Even if the Killzone bit was pre rendered, it seems like it would be entirely possible.

Xbox360 is in trouble, unless the PS3 goes for a high price...

For all the hints, Nintendo didn't really show anything yet...

Cheers,
Ben

I find the article titled "PS3 to sell for under $500?" a little disturbing.

$400+ for a game system? Uh... no.

Yowza. I've been thinking for awhile I'd be a PS3 guy, but that price scares the willies out of me. Under $500 could be $499! There's just no way I'm spending that much money (especially after converting to CAD) on a new console. My wife would kill me. Heck I'd want to kill me.

True dat. Heaven can wait. Could just be fluff though. I'm betting on somewhere between $300 to $400 at launch. Whatever console I get next, I'll wait for $199.

looks awesome and the SPECS comfirm it will kkick ass but I hate the controller. I didn't see the controller on the conference

gg @ believing hype there, but then again, we've had this convo before LOL

I'll believe it when I see it.

Until then, the PS3 has a chance to claim back some market share from MS if they have the more powerful console.

if the ps3 is $500, i have some saving to do!

[racecar]

i need to see the entire package controller's too...i readed that they look like hambergers

All those features are well and good (and I am not anti-PS by any means) but given their track record with extras (HD, Eye-Toy) I am not sold on all this just yet, not to mention having to potentially pay extra for backwards compatibility.

So, what's wrong with the Eye-Toy

[InsaneDavid]

The PS3 design reminds me of the PCEngine Duo-R the same way the PSTwo reminds me of the PCEngine Duo / TurboDuo - anyone else think the same thing?

[Ed Oscuro]

Great minds (well, it's anybody's guess in my case...) think alike, David! Yeah, I made that connection too, and I know some other DPers must've.

It looks better the more I look at it, and I wouldn't mind having one.

I was thinking this on my commute home. Could Sony be delaying the launch so that the price of components comes down? It would make sense to find that midpoint between waiting too long behind MS's launch and not long enough for pricing issues.

400us is decent considering that it is blueray dvd player

I think the system looks pretty damn ugly if you ask me, it also looks pretty damn big, but I must say that Killzone for the PS3 looks like the most amazing game I have ever seen.

it's pre-rendered (confirmed by sony), as were Motor Storm, Warhawk and others, Sony is playing false as always, damnit, at least MS had the guts to show actual footage (i know, it was running on Apple systems, but IT WAS RUNNING)(

The claim was made that the Killzone 2 vid was not prerendered last night on G4...

Supposedly that "prerendered" Killzone 2 is going to be a playable demo today as well... I guess we'll find out for certain later today.

It was not gameplay...

IGN- "Is the Killzone sequence a fair example of what people can expect from realtime gameplay on PlayStation 3?"

A- Jan-Bart: "Yeah, it's basically a representation of the look and feel of the game we're trying to make."

It looks like the Sony hype machine is in full swing... I saw 2 different Sony execs claim that the demo was not rendered and then a print interview that admitted it was prerendered, but representative of actual game play - I think the quote was "to spec".

There is no doubt that the PS3 has oodles of power, but we are getting the same kind of smokescreen we saw with the PS2.. all we need now is to find out what George Lucas thinks of it..

[PS2Hawk]

I dun care about power as long as it looks decent.
I like PS2 best this generation, I just love all the platformers on PS2, Jak Sly maximo & ratched...
action adventure....God of war ..just a few
devil may cry
