Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

These graphics look too good to be true. Is everything in this thread from in-game?
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

Supposedly. I believe they are.... would make sense if you look at the system's specs.
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

That pad MUST have been researched before it was made, I don't believe they'd change it that drastically without some market testing.

Also if that F1 game is in game graphics, HOLY FUCKING SHIT that looks good.

Imagine when we get about two or three years into the PS3 and they start pushing it to it's limits!

PES and GTA are going to look truly amazing.
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

Amazing pictures! I'm just :eek:

I don't know if this is the official designation, but the ps3 controller is suposed to be called Batarang controller. I read it on gamespy, they have a reputation of making of names. But it sure fits! :mrgreen:
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

I hope they remake a wireless version of the dual shock controller for retro fans.

MICROSOFT GOT KILLED!!!

The PS3 hardware murders Xbox360 in a bright daylight.

X360 has how many exclusive, Perfect Dark? They have no games..

Man, I wanted to get Xbox2 so much... but after seein the Sony conference.. 0_o
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

It's a bit early to make that kinda statement. I agree that MS have been drastically overshadowed by Sony, they made a big mistake not having enough demos available. However numbers are numbers, the proof will be about the games when they become available to preview/review.

There was equel hype about the launch PS2 and Xbox games and the majority of them were shite. I'm not getting too excited just yet.

E3 Opinion: Xbox 360 is outgunned and outclassed by Sony's PS3

Rob Fahey 07:09 17/05/2005

With both Microsoft and Sony laying their cards on the table over the past week, the opening skirmish of the next-gen console war has tipped heavily in favour of the PlayStation 3 - but the war is only starting, says Rob Fahey.

There was a point, at Microsoft's pre-E3 conference four years ago, when a lot of people began to believe in Xbox. I can pinpoint the moment almost exactly - it was the point when the video of Dead or Alive 3 rolled, and the jaws of the audience slackened as the best in-game graphics they'd ever seen suddenly graced the screens ahead of them. Back when Halo was just another unproven first person shooter, a single swoop over Team Ninja's beautiful, sun-kissed beach was enough to convince many people that Xbox was worthy of attention. I know; I was one of those people.

Walking out of that conference, just a few miles from where I'm sitting now and just a few years back in time, I heard someone - an American journalist - say that Sony had been "totally, like, outclassed". He was right; the PlayStation 2 had just been given a technological kicking by its upstart rival. Not that this would stop Sony from coasting to a comfortable victory by the end of the hardware generation, of course, but the sheer graphical prowess of the Xbox really did give PS2 a bloody nose. Outclassed was the only word for it.

Today, Sony returned the favour. With interest.

Looking at the content of the two conferences today in Los Angeles - and the MTV special last week, in the case of Xbox 360 - "outclassed" is a word that comes to mind a lot. The bar which was set by Microsoft last week has not only been met, it has been vaulted over. PlayStation 3 is more powerful, more fully featured, more innovative and better supported than Xbox 360. When the Sony conference kicked off, we expected to see something "a bit better" than Xbox, technologically. We didn't expect to have our most fundamental beliefs about what next-generation games will be capable of changed. That, however, is exactly what happened.

I don't want to beat on Microsoft too hard, because ultimately there are still quite a few Xbox 360 games I'm looking forward to; but it's hard not to feel that suddenly, Microsoft's hip lingo and celebrity endorsements seem to ring very hollow. Where Microsoft gave us Elijah Wood babbling through a half hour marketing-led special on MTV, Sony had us watching Phil Harrison show off jaw-dropping interactive tech demos on stage. Harrison is about as far from being a hobbit as you can get - I'm not kidding, the man's a giant - and Ken Kutaragi is unlikely to ever have as many screaming fans as The Killers, but Sony seemed to feel that its new console spoke for itself. It didn't need celebrity endorsements, or senior executives trying to be "down with the kids" - thank god.

It's not that Sony would have problems rounding up some impressive celebs if they so desired. Sony Pictures, Sony Music and the PlayStation brand itself could have called out half of Hollywood today. Instead, we got to see a game console that feels genuinely next generation. We weren't told how "cool" a random American sports star thinks PlayStation 3 is, we were told how astonishingly powerful it is and how incredibly feature-packed it is. We're not just talking about a console that's twice as powerful as Xbox 360 in simple, logical terms (and bear in mind that that's a far, far greater gap in power than existed between PS2 and Xbox); we're talking about a console with more functionality, with fewer corners cut and with a genuinely more impressive line-up of software.

If the day could be summed up in a microcosm, it would be Square Enix' story that explained events best. Yoichi Wada, the firm's president, made two stops today. At the Sony conference, he was one of many developers presenting stunning tech demos - in his case, a truly stunning real-time recreation of the opening to Final Fantasy VII, using characters almost as high quality as those seen in the forthcoming Advent Children movie. Within a matter of hours, he had another stop to make - this time with a headline billing at the Microsoft conference, where he revealed that Square Enix will be supporting Xbox 360... With the release of a four year old massively multiplayer game that's already available on PS2 and PC.

Outclassed? Undoubtedly. Sony's hardware, its software, and even its simple display of confidence in its own product have completely outclassed Microsoft today - but while there can be little doubt about the outcome of this particular battle, it'd be a foolish man who assumed that the war was over yet. What Sony has done unto Microsoft today, Microsoft did unto Sony not so many years ago - and software giant is unlikely to take a defeat at E3 lying down. This tug of war has a long way to go yet.

Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

When Xbox came out, the specs were higher than PS2, and as expected, GFX was better for their games. Im assuming its going to be the same but this time PS3 being better.

We don't need any dumb comments like that being made.

GT Vision to me honestly just looks like GT4 with a load more cars onscreen, but like Dave says it's early days yet.

I'm looking at some trailers now, and assuming they're all in-game stuff as they're tech demos and are showing what's possible with the machine. The Tekken one looks good, but the FFVII one is even better.
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

Isn't it funny how the X-Boxer used to be graphic whores and shit and now you go to a gamespot forum and read stuff like "graphics aren't everything, it's games that count"... LOL. Too bad PS3 will have both superior graphics and awesome games. :)
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

Haha I mentioned those two then I watched Killzone, feck me that looks good. They've ripped off the Halo 2 demo we saw last year and elements of Half-Life 2 but it's corkin!

Motor Storm looks very nice too, not so sure it's my type of game though.
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

Look at the short clip of Getaway from the Sony Conference video, its around the 1hr mark of the clip.... truely stunning.
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

on the getaway clip the bloke keeps mentioning "this is what the future of games will be like"
Going off that i am assuming the getaway shots are not "ingame" either.
Or he would say like "this is what the getaway on ps3 is looking like at the moment"
Its doing my head in trying to figure out which ones are proper graphics and which ones are renders. Anything that looks like switching cameras angles and all that im putting down as renders. Thats why killzone is impressing me alot.
its nearly all from the first person viewpoint. thats gotta be ingame.
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

The PS3 looks the business!!

I would say that the Killzone and Motor Storm video are definately ingame. What is scary is that if the games look this good at the moment, then a couple of years down the line when developers really get to grips with the system their going to be even better.
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

Getaway looks shit hot. :shock:

Here's hoping that not every car is a Vauxhall Vectra in the final version though. ;)
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

I'm so desperate to see what Winning Eleven is gonna look like on this.

And as for the pad, We know SONY arent stupid so I'm thinking the pad is probably a lot smaller than it looks so it fits nicely into your hands.
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

Some of this looks to good to be true. I hope I am wrong though, but I remember what PS2 games were supposed to look like, and when I seen the actual gameplay clips, it was really really dissapointing
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

Whats the news on the PS3 and online play? Online play is a huge factor for me, I rarely play single player games as much anymore since getting broadband and XBox Live.

Basically, is there any indication that Sony are going to put up a better fight this time when it comes to online play?
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

I read somewhere at IGN that Sony will have an Xbox Live-like service. I think Ken Kutaragi even described it as "Always on, always connected".
Rumors say that Nintendo's Xbox Live type service will be free.
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

Both consoles are gonna kick ass, thats for sure. That Motor Storm vid was class :D
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

Did anyone see a vid of a PS3 game called Motostorm? The graphics look so amazing that I really doubt that they're real-time, if they are then :shock:!
 
Re: PlayStation 3 - Official Thread (Official Design)

The console looks simple and I like it that way. The font looks like spiderman font? Who Cares? The controller is a bit drastic though! I'll have to play a couple of games with it it to see but i guess if the controllers were the same as the dual shock 2 then people would be a bit disappointed that it was the same thing.

All in all, I really wanna play winning eleven 10 on this baby. Hope they make it a launch title!!
