Take a look at the tech demos for the PS3:

a-fucking-mazing.

There were a couple of times where I got a weird feeling like I was watching something real (during the doc oc video, when they put him in the conference lighting, for one).

Robbo, did you do some thread editing? Cause I certainly don't remember typing up that title. :Johnathan:

My electronics stocker was telling me about the new consoles last night. He said the PS3 has 9 processors in it, or something like that. That's insane. Isn't the Nintendo system supposed to be more virtual reality based?

That ps3 looks pretty damn sweet.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

More than anything, the killzone demo impressed me the most. Absolutely stunning.

Well, there was a rumour that it was going to be controlled like Tom Cruise in Minority Report (there was even a video of it), but that was a hoax.

Nintendo hasn't said anything about what they're doing different. But, the lack of a controller in any images released would suggest that they are going to having something new in that department. :nod:

OH MY GOD!

This is fucking hilarious!

http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/adventure/m ... 25268.html

Watch the video! ... Note, this video was made on PS2. It's just a teaser for MGS4 (which will be on the PS3).

It's funny, because there was a rumour about Hideo not being involved, but that is now dispelled. Plus, the rest of the video is just fucking hilarious! :lol: :lol: :lol:

And I've officially decided to get a PS3. Same reason I got a PS2 and not an Xbox: MGS.

Now it's just a matter of deciding whether or not to get more than one system (possibly a Nintendo system, should they do something really great).

What sucks though is that Hideo said "You'll have to wait until E3 2006 to see the actual game". Boo!

It's such a long wait, though. Really, the PS3 won't be out until just before then. But still. :(

I'm pretty sure they didnt show the controller because they dont want anyone stealing their design or ideas.

I'm getting all of them. When I hear the release dates, I am heading down to Walmart and placing the pre-orders. :)

Didn't anyone read the article from the link in the first post in this thread?!?! I haven't heard one person mention that the PS3 will have 2 teraflops of overall performance! TWO TERAFLOPS! Have you ever heard anything so impressive? I am in awe that no one is talking about that...it's amazing. And think about this...if I actually knew what a teraflop was, I would be even MORE excited about it!

Brutus is an honorable man
It's just coincidence that oil men will wage war in an oil rich land
And this one goes out to my man taking cover in the trenches with a gun in his hand
Then gets home and no one flinches when he can't feed his fam...

But Brutus is an honorable man...

I can't seem to get myself excited for something that isn't being released until 2006. But I will. Oh yes, I will.


By the way, anyone else think "Star Trek" at the title of this thread?

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Teraflop: A measure of computing speed equal to one trillion floating-point operations per second.
