also, this is probably the best assesment of the console and interactive entertainment situation every compiled, giving all the veriables and possibilities, and showing what could happen if either console company makes key decisions.

Not bashing here, but does anybody wish they would have stayed withe there first design of the controler? That looked good, I don't know why, but me and those ps2 analogs don't sit right!

 

As a matter of fact, I liked the "boomerang" controllers as well. Dual Shock 2's still don't seem exactly right to me either.

 

I really like the 360/xbox layout but I love the ps3! I wish they would have keep the others!

 

(oops)

 

the original look a bit odd and a bit strange if held. the buttons would be too close to eachother. plus the completele roundness was kind of ugly. i like them sticking with their other design. i wonder if its a big larger by a little bit. i hope. maybe a special "everywhere but japan" controller sku?

 

"While the PlayStation 3 and 360 versions of Assassin's Creed are virtually identical, Raymond did say that on the 360 the team is putting a special emphasis on achievements. The hardware also allows for improved threading, which will improve even further the crowd AI,"

It doesn't do much as far as gameplay though..

You guys are running out of things to talk about>.<

 

well on my last post that everyone ignored, there is a link to a video of ingame footage from alan wake, trust me it looks great.

 

@fninja.
looks good, but not better than any other.

and about the improved ai, im usre it completely possible on both systems, but this is only being mentioned to the public because ms payed them to have them work harder and say "omg the 360 version is better!!1!" (1 ment to be)

 

my random news depository:

3 accessories priced. Controller nameed.

So it's almost official that Nintendo's Wii-mote + nunchuk will be more expensive than the 360's wireless remote and the ps3's "sixaxis". Chalk one up to Sony and Microsoft.
"Sixaxis" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Then again, it sounds cool.

how is it arrogant and/or hypocritical if it could be true? we already know that the 360 can do what first year ps3 titles can do (assassin's creed, for example), is it that far fetched to say that, at the moment, second year 360 titles could look better than ps3's first years?
more importantly; Who cares?

pretty cool to me, cant wait for this game , but not on the ps3 , i doubt i could wait that long seeing as i wont be ownin one for the next yr
i'll be getting a torrent for my laptop

omg, the ps3 is kinda big.. i mena i knew it was big but wow, Lol
its like a giant to the Wii
hehe hehe in size AND performance *giggedy*

an did y'all read the post in another thread about psm3 magazine geting a ps3, lucky bastards
reactions seems pretty good huh?

 

Another thing to toss into the mix is that the 360 can run burned games, where we know it will be very long if ever that the ps3 games can be burned. So then you pay what is it 60 or is it more now, and 1 scratch or finger smuge and your done.

 

@emachin
really, i didnt know the 360 cud do that
it plays burned 360 games as well as xbox games?
one thing to note when u sed one scratch or finger smudge
blu-ray discs have a thicker layer than any of the other optical formats, if i remember correctly , so it wudnt just die with a smudge or one scratch
it needs a pretty good , deep scratch ,
i remember i hadd mortal kombat 4 for psx, and i was literally.and i mean LITERALLY skating on it on my floor, and throwing it like a frisbee, the amt of scratches on that when i was finished, lol,
and ten i popped it in, an it played fine...lol

 

Yeah, I know I just read on here that the ps3 blueray will have the easiest disk to messup. But with all the all 360 is gay ps3 is gay stuff alot of people are lying.

Ok really now, why do you care which is better?? I guess if you havn't bought one yet like me, I'll go with the 360 because of backing up games, and halo 3, but if ps3 games could be backed up I would go with it.

 

i don't care fore backing up. consoles are legit to me. modchips may come out, but then again in this day in age forced firmware will emilinate alot of them.

 

im wondering with all the 360 backup talk and things that developers down the road may actually shy away from the 360 for that very reason? thoughts...

on a side note, i'd actually like to see a firmware update that could reduce or eliminate the ability. i only say that becuase it'd be nice to go the the 360 thread and find some info about the games or console for a change. everything is "what drive do i need, need help asap, stuck during step 2 bla bla bla" kind of annoying...

 

they still have not made a 360 hacking thread? the idea has been in hte air for months. come one guys.

 

Oh they made about 3,000,000,000 360 hacking threads lol. Only about 1% of 360 users are ever gonna mess with there system anyway, I don't think its a problem with game devlopers at all. The xbox was hacked but it didn't have problems. I like to back-up my games, and test new ones. 60 dollars is alot of money!
