PS3 is the ultimate superhero console.

lol

well, seems like a couple things might end up changing from now till release.

of course we could go nintendo, "we're just showing everyone this so they dont steal our real ideas!"

im fine with things changing, i'd rather be able to see stuff, let them have feedback and change, rather then hold it all in till the last minute.

im very worried about the controller.

The graphics are gorgeous.... absolutely beautiful.

It's too bad the controller looks really awkward and uncomfortable. I can't judge until I put my hands around it, but why the hell are the prongs so long? That seems pointless...

[Null]

if it had built in tilt, would make a good steering wheel. hehe
