Looks like I'm gonna stop upgrading my computer for a new PS3. Blue Ray support is a nice advantage over the Xbox360. Especially with HD video which will definately need the 16 gigabytes of data capacity. The ability to hardware decode 12 High Definition Videos at one time is amazing. Current computer's struggle with 1 or 2. Looks like both systems will be extremely powerful. It's gonna be down to software support.

The Nvidia GPU in the system is supposedly more powerful than 2x6800ultra's in SLI. We still don't know a lot of the technical details, but what I have gathered so far is that the GPU has a 35 gigabyte data bus to and from main system ram to gpu ram. That's more bandwidth than most video card ram in current video cards. And a heck of a lot more than the current FSB speeds on the fastest systems. Also, in the video presentation, the president of Nvidia stated that the GPU would have access to all the ram in the system because of the huge data bus. That's 256megs of system ram with 256 megs of GPU ram. A total of 512 megs of usable ram by the GPU.

Epic got Unreal3 engine running on it in 2 months. That's quite amazing. And so was the video of it running on PS3 dev systems. I can only imagine what games would look and play like with this system in the hands of developers like Sega. Panzer Dragoon 4 oO oO .

 

i was going to a xbox 360 but atfer seeing this, sorry ms but you almost got me.

 

MS just announced that they will have backwards compatibility and square-enix. Man.... I'm gonna have to get both x360 and ps3. There goes the money I was saving up for my pc.

 

but just for a few games.

 

After seeing the ff7 tech demo im in awe. :wub: It brings back so much memories. I know they wont release it on the ps2 though. But i will get the PS3 for other games like Soul Calibur series and maybe burnout series when they release it.

 

Did anyone else think that Cloud looked like he was on crack in the tech demo? Does anyone else hate square-enix even more now that they teased us with that?

Sorry for going slightly off-topic.

 

dooh I think I will fall in love with it :evil: console case design looks so much better than the Xbox, but as someone above mentioned: I'd like to use my PS2 controller on PS3

 

errrr........nope!

 

now both console makers have curvy designs,Somehow I have the feeling that the outward curve of the PS3 will fit into the concave curve of the X360

 

Hmm. look at this Final Fantasy VII PS3 Tech Demo (They say its all real time )

Too bad that wasn't for a remake... that would have owned.

 

remakes are more like nintendo style... but... I wouldn't mind playing FFVIII remake on my PS2 (I don't know why but I'd like it more than FFX )

 

I just wondered how the next Xenosaga part will look on this ... ... ... :drool:

P.S.: Speaking of remakes - Did Nintendo finally release some shts of its Revolution except for those strange controllers?

 

I just wondered how the next Xenosaga part will look on this ... ... ... :drool:

now jus think about Xenogears remake :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

 

Amazing... simply amazing..... :drool:

I don't know which is going to be/look better, X360 or PS3, but I am curious about both systems. I'm not going to buy one though since I won't have the money for it anytime soon. But that killzone demo looked gorgeous, it made that FF7 technical demo look average IMO.

 

Microsoft will try and pour money into xbox360 to counter the ps3, But what microsoft dont seem to realise is, its the people who create the consoles and games that make the system great, Microshaft is probably throwing money at stupid and/or opportunistic people,where as sony is using clever people, Sonys tech demos were absolutely amazing, xbox360's was ghost recon.

 

I doubt any of these systems will be emulated for a LONG time.:lol: The FFVII demo looks really, really nice. I'm kind of excited about these new systems!

Perhaps it's easier to emulate PC games on the PS3

 

>Don't forget that square enix is on xbox360 developer list too. it depends on how much M$ is willing to pay for them to sell out the DQ and FF franchise.

Indeed. They are porting FFXI to the XBox 360. However Square have also been quoted as saying that the main FF franchise will remain on Sony's machine.

I'm not a fan of the pad. I'm thinking I might have to get a converter to use my Xbox or PS2 pad on it. However, saying that, that was how I originaly felt about the XBox-S pad, but it grew on me.

edit: Holy crap, just saw the FFVII tech demo....
/me wants FFVII PS3 edition.

All controllers take a while to get used to I think, but the PS3 one seems too round to fit my hands comfortly. Also, it looks like it has only 2 triggers. (I've only seen the frontside yet)

 

What can I say.... sweet holy crap oO :evil: :wub: :drool:

The KillZone demo is enough to make you soil yourself, and the FFVII tech demo, looks loverly, of course I'd expected it to look 'simple', to keep with the original FF7 style of fairly flat colours, still...wouldn't it be nice for a '10th' anniversary remake of FF7...

Microsoft Corporation said unfortunately it will be limited backward compatibility. I’m guessing the worst case situation will be that less then half of original games will run. (if even that.)

 

Just watched the videos from sony's conference.
Nice teasers for the best games one can find, DMC4, Visison Gran Turismo
Tekken 6
And of course ff7
Man I need one of those
I decided I am going to buy all next gen consoles, PSP, PS3, XB360, Nintendo DS and Nintendo ON

 

oO that's a lot of money...

 

He didn't mention when he's going to buy them

 

.. 12 High Definition Videos at one time is amazing. Current computer's struggle with 1 or 2...

regarding this i think or "heard" that PS3 can to actually "just"? 2 but thats far enough for me
The FF 7 Demo looked nice! i liked it very much!
And about the killzone thing anyone who likes shooters, Halo & such stuff will like it ^^
very nice textures, & chara models though!
