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

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 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.

OMG, it is so shiny! It's like a new car! This machine is unstoppable!

Re: Sony's Conference
 

It's a round PS2!!!!!

But looks nice.

Round Ps2!!!

Re: Sony's Conference
 

So what are the differences besides wireless between the PS2 and PS3 controllers? Couldnt someone just plug in thier PS2 controller and use that instead? (of course maybe its really comfortable and people wouldnt want to, gotta say it doesnt look as bad as when i first saw it now)

Re: Sony's Conference
 

I think most of the graphics has to do with programming. It's not really the looks, but more what happens on screen. I think......

Re: Sony's Conference
 

So it appears the real REVOLUTION of next gen is indeed SONY's controller.

As someone in another forum said, When you get mad in a game and throw it, it will come back to you. :)


all joking aside, its ALMOST starting to grow on me now, kinda like the Gamecube controller did.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Yeah, I thought it was garbage when I first saw it. But I stopped looking at it at face value and started to imagine myself holding it.

It seems it would be very comfortable with long prongs..... Everything is a nice size they just elongated the prongs...

Does anyone see similarities...?




The long prongs have proven to work well with holding the controller with stability.... Whose complaining now...

Re: Sony's Conference
 

well if it does one thing it'll stop people from saying they cant get to the left joystick with thier thumb. longer handle means you could grip it a bit lower which would effectivly move the left joy stick higher up.

As with any controller tho, looks aside, you never know untill you actually hold one.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Listen... the long prongs on the N64 proved to be beneficial for holding the controller with comfort and stability.

Now with the longer prongs it just enables that same aspect. The buttons, analog, shoulders, and D-pad are all in SIMILAR positions to the old PS2 controller.... just longer prongs to provide more grip then slip..

Remember also, their may be a REASON aside from Grip for the long prongs... perhaps a pressure sensitive grip for racing games... Squeeze on the right prong for an action and squeeze on left for another action... Maybe something for Fight Night PS3?

Re: Sony's Conference
 

ARG!!! this is driving me nuts, i been looking for a while now, Will someone PLEASE find me a picture of the PS3 with its front panel (that slope down on the left of the cd tray) open and showing all the ports and plugs inside.

i saw the picture last night, it has a couple memory stick slots, and some other plugs, but now for the life of me i cant find where i saw that picture at....

Re: Sony's Conference
 

My long biased rants will come next week, when I get the net hooked up in my room.

But let me just say, every time I've complained about Sony's controller design, I take it back. Aside from the fact that it's incredibly dated, at least it was confortable. This is well... humorous at best. Sony should've just added USB support for PC controllers and not included one :D

The console is umm... nice... but... ugly. Glad to see someone using Bluetooth (1.1 or 2?), and it's nice to see 1080p and HDMI output. Bravo. If only they could make a game that I cared about, and could sell this thing for a reasonable price. Sure it's going to sell for under $500. $499.99+tax!

Still haven't seen a picture of a game, just heard some announced titles that put me to sleep. They'll sell, but they're just not for me. But please tell me that they gave real-time in-game shots, and not the stupid BS renders that they wowed us with to prove how superior it was to DC.

3 consoles shown, none have "wowed" me.
