Looks like Sony is having quite the presence at CES next year. Can we say new controller and playable PS3? I think so :)

*kisses CES badge*

Sony has said their controller is basically whats gonna be in the final product or something like dont expect much if any to change because of it (blame the lawsuit)

Take plenty of pictures. And if they stick with the boomerang, give it a throw...have to make sure my purchase will be justifiable.

Re: gekko plays PS3 in T-35 days
 

I don't know if we'll get to play it, that seems like something that would be better reserved for E3. Maybe under an NDA or behind closed doors, but I think it'll pretty much just be tech demos, like how Nintendo let a few of us fool around with the Rev controller at E3.

I do hope they've reconsidered the controller design though. Not necessarily because of the boomerang aspect, but the thing was freakin puny at E3, like way too small methinks.

They gotta shorten those prongs. Otherwise it will be difficult to rest your hands in certain positions.

gekko... you dont have perfect dark? I hate you


btw, where did you get the badge?

Re: gekko plays PS3 in T-35 days
 

I have Perfect Dark. It sucks, but I have it.

I work for Revolution Report, so I got myself a press badge to CES. Thing is, Nintendo was in talks to exhibit, decided not to. Talked with ATI, they're not allowed to show Hollywood. Long story short, I'm going to a show without anything to cover. Thought it was going to be a Xbox 360 fest for me, but now it looks like PS3 might take up most of my time.

Re: gekko plays PS3 in T-35 days
 

do you honestly think the PS3 will have anything different than the xbox? I mean it can' t possibly get any more powerful, it comes down to the developers programming a good game, or a good engine.

I dont think the ps3 games will look ANY better by the time the xbox 360 is in the second generation of software

that's where the revolution comes in, the clear alternative to the super expensive graphics battle between sony and microsoft.

Re: gekko plays PS3 in T-35 days
 

um, it always comes down to developers making a good game. thats no different for MS Sony or Nintendo.

Crash you opened another can of worms ;)

Re: gekko plays PS3 in T-35 days
 

Well, we always think that the graphics can't get any better when we first see them. Once you get used to them you start to not care about the graphics as much. And then the next gen comes out and the graphics are even better. I honestly don't think that we will ever reach the limit.

Re: gekko plays PS3 in T-35 days
 

I think that opens the question do we really want totally realistic graphics? I'm not really sure I'd want to play a game that looks totally realistic.

Re: gekko plays PS3 in T-35 days
 

Yes, I agree with you on that one Bond. Playing a truely realistic game COULD really warp some peoples minds. It would be an interactive snuff film.


I think that the graphics will continue to get better, but I don't believe they will go in the direction of realistic, they will still have that cartoony feel to them.

Re: gekko plays PS3 in T-35 days
 

i beg to differ, graphics will always evolve for more realistic looking. that doesnt mean every game has to use that way.

but i believe most people would love to eventually be able to step into a Virtual reality system and have it look and be just that... virtual Reality.


thats not saying we want every game to be realistic life like blood and gore, a game could be as simple as getting into a virual reality system and playing sports games like you were really there, standing in an arena with thousands of people all around you cheering as if you were really there. (and as i said, with thoes graphics theydont have to use em to look realistic, you could step into a perfect looking Cartoon Virtual Reality)

i never liked star trek much, but the virtual reality systems on that show, is what computer / graphics are ever striving to achieve... who knows if we'll ever get there, but thats what each generation of new computer graphics is steping closer to.

at that point, there may have to be some much stricter rules on gore and things not sutable for children, but untill that day when they become perfect.. graphics will always get better and better.

Re: gekko plays PS3 in T-35 days
 

I still don't believe PS3 can run a game, in real-time, at 1080p and keep a decent framerate. Sony is promising they can do it, and on two screens. Trust me, I have to see this ;)
