Re: Sony's Conference
 

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...

Re: Sony's Conference
 

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

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Re: Sony's Conference
 

LOL AT DANCHASTU! +rep to you!

Re: Sony's Conference
 

ok, so we've got:

-Grand Theft Auto 'next' confirmed for PS3 launch
-Metal Gear Solid 4 confirmed for PS3
-the Getaway shown
-Final Fantasy real-time demo and announcement
-Fight Night info
-PSP and PS3 connect wireless, data transfer and use of PSP as PS3 controller
-1080p HD support
-Spiderman 2 CG running real-time on PS3

Re: Sony's Conference
 

That controller still throws me off. I still can't believe that's the controller. If anyone had shown me that picture last week I would have bet a million dollars that it was fake, simply based on the controller design.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Well does say design is subject to change without notice.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Yeah, I'm hoping that they shorten the prongs down. I also wonder how the shoulder buttons work, as they look awkward.

Finally, I'm hoping they put the analog pad in a better spot. Nintendo and Microsoft have it right... Analog in the prime position, not D-pad.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

I notice that there is no memory card slots in the system, or at least none I can see. How is it supposed to be backwards compatible then?
Other then that I'm getting so excited.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Ooh. Getting fancy now with the angles.



How exactly does that lay flat when horizontal?

Re: Sony's Conference
 

It has the bottom flat section like PS2.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Memory cards are wireless via Bluetooth.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Devil May Cry 4.....+1 PS3 sales

Re: Sony's Conference
 

have to beg to differ with you on that part, sony has been the one to have it in a perfect spot. i hope thats the one thing that certainly does NOT change.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Looking awesome. :)

I can't wait to try out that controller.. I wonder how it will feel...

Re: Sony's Conference
 

hrmmm.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

I'm not a big fan of having the on/off button on the back, but everything else looks nice.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

thats just the main power, same as PS2. you turn it on and off from the front, but you can cut entire power, encluding the front switch off with the back switch.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

I like my system constantly on standby. :0

Re: Sony's Conference
 

from the video I'm watching right now, I can tell you right now that the PS3 is a LOT more powerful than anything I've seen from XBox 360 so far.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Get on MSN and send me this damn video you are speaking of, man!

Re: Sony's Conference

Um....can I get a "HOLY ****"

Re: Sony's Conference
 

this eye toy demo I'm watching....let's just say

"you've gotta be f*cking kidding me"

this looks TOO good

*edit*

streaming video is on Gamespot Live

you need a Gamespot Complete membership I think

Re: Sony's Conference
 

the DMC4 trailer didn't blow me away, but a lot of games in that Demo mix look really awesome.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

If its an actual live thing (as in, happening right now) you have to have a Complete membership to watch it live, but you can see "reruns" afterwards for free...

GameSpot is cool like that.


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Sony's Conference
 

ok that thread Crash made in the general games forum...."next next gen"....I just saw a realtime demo that actually looked MORE impressive than those still shots

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Killzone LOOKS awesome... but some of the worst voice acting I've ever heard. Listen for the "Oh my god!" and "Son of a bitch" when the guy is on fire. It sounds really awkward. Still looks great though.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

lol, the Fight Night video I saw is absolutely gorgeous...when the guy gets punched, his skin ripples on his face and the light reflects accordingly.

honestly, this is nuts

you can see emotion on their faces

fury, rage, confusion, surprise...

Re: Sony's Conference
 

HOLY ****IN SHIZAT



Sony has some absolutely AMAZING screens of PS3 games on their PR site. Dear god I wish I could post these.


...HOT ****IN DAMN




MGS4

Re: Sony's Conference
 

DM, try to compare these shots to everything you've seen from XB360

if I had to make a comparison right now, the PS3 looks at LEAST 1.5 times as powerful as the XBox 360. I just cant believe my eyes...


HOLY F*CK I JUST SAW THE END OF YOUR POST

I knew it...

Re: Sony's Conference
 

What site are the other pics on?

Re: Sony's Conference
 

The console looks good.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

:rofl: !!!

OMG!!! is that funny...

Anyway, the console looks like holy mack!

but alas the controller looks like the moon in Lucky Charms... with the color too!

Re: Sony's Conference
 

The Graphics are amazing
The console is awkward
The controller is amusing

Re: Sony's Conference
 

The three A's. Good ol' Sony.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

i just saw the video of thesony press confrence off of gamespot and wow. AN HOUR AND 50 MINUTES TO SEE THE THING AT THE END FOR LESS THAT TWO MINUTES, ok got that out of my system. And actually looking at the system from a real view and not a digital pic like i saw before. i now can saw the console looks hottttttttt. GJ Sony.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

I just want to make it very clear and transparent that PS3 has totally own3d XBOX 360. The screens and demos I saw in the Sony Press Conference were absolutely vivid and outstanding.

You know... The guy who was demonstrating Fight Night was holding a wireless controller that resembled a PS2 controller with regular prongs. At the end of the 1:50:17 when they showed the PS3 console, they didn't show the controller, so you know that design is either a filler or a concept.

Seeing Xbox 360: ]]]]]]]]
Seeing PS3's Power: ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

No one can honestly disagree with me when I say the the graphical push the PS3 offers (a lot of the demos and footage were in-game play being played on the PS3 behind the box on the podium) CLEARLY AND WITHOUT A DOUBT is A LOT more powerful then the Xbox 360.
