Official PS3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. N. Revolution

cmmnscence, i agree with what your saying but you need to calm down if you want to continue giving your part in this thred. the mods might get you.

 

is it me or the ps3 controller looks horrible i prefered the ps2's one

 

BUT... Most of our information on the cell comes from IBM's push to adopt it into High Performance Computing, which goes beyond the PS3 or Workstations (Think 100+ clustered servers). Which certainly falls withing the realm of PC technology.

One note, one question.

Note: Sony did release Linux for the PS2 as well. Flew like a brick with an elephant attached.

Question: Is there a link for Sony using the Procedural Synthesis? I was pretty sure that MS patented the entire technology (not just models, although that is where the main use comes from) so I'm curious to see how Sony got around that.

 

I don't remeber where I heard it(yes, I know it means nothing now), but MS only patented the 3-d skinning and therefore system memory will go through the CPU then GPU thorugh redwood. I am not sure, but it makes the most sense. If you want you can go look it up, I'm not because I'm positive they are, that's just me though, I'll clarify that so I don't get bitched out.
As far as the patent goes, arstechnia actually brought out the patent and they did not mention it for all procedural systhesis, just 3-D skinning. If MS had patented the concept entirely I would assume arstechnia would have mentioned that even before they mentioned the latter? Look for MS's patent beside the one on 3-D skinning.

Yeah linux probally won't be very good for PS3, but Apple or Microsoft (probally both) will publish thier OS awhile after release and the big battle is over. They could make a serious buck off it, and they will want too (assumed, not proof). At this point I don't care enough to look it up, when the systems come closer to launch I'll take a second look at what we have now and what they will have released extra. If you can find out, I'd like to take a look at it.

Solargame, I have a feeling the mods got sick of this 500+ post thread, because they would have come down on me already, I think?

Has anyone noticed that there is really only four peole still in this thread?

 

Actually, I have never been warned before. And I would enjoy having my old account back.

 

Amen. Cmmnsense, you have the right idea, but need to keep a healthy supply of chill pills handy.
As I'm sure the mods have told you, this is no place for vengeance, and I think it's quite obscene that we're shouting at each other over games consoles. Very sad. People who have lives must look in on this debate with awe at what 'geeks' we must look like!

 

Ouch, that hurts Sammorris. Mostly because it's true, but it still hurts

 

I posted in another thread, but has anyone used any of the Xbox 360 release date sites? I found a few like http://www.iwantmyxbox.com

Has anyone signed up or used any of these sites?

 

Flip, true, you got me there. I forgot about that because I didn't feel it was much. Two or three everyday converstion curses, and an abbreviation. Most everything else besides those two occurences has been verbally stressed. After hundreds of posts it's too easy to forget, I can't remember reading a forum that has been this big.

Sammorris, people who look at this debate should appreciate all the propanganda that gets hammered out of it. Also, you can have a life and be on a forum like this, but your right people that do stumble on this probally get freaked out that someone has seen the inside of the magic devil, computer.

"Well that is up to the admins..." If me and Wvengence wouldn't have been here, it just would have been a 1000 post flamefest using majornelson.com and ign.com by the time the 360 came out. Having to start over bites, especially cause my old name was sweet.

 

hey, this is for all the people who are tired of hearing about the hardware. want a thread just for the games go here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/201656
This thread is now the HARDWARE ONLY thread. the link above is SOFTWARE ONLY!

 

Sammorris, Solargame, WVengence, it's time to lend a hand. That is of course unless you don't like what insight I can provide, I'd do it for you guys, especially WVengence, there's someone that can actually discuss something. Check it out, safety valve was a good place...

You are almost correct. Except we are all geeks here. =) It's just some geekers are cooler than others. In both ways.

 

Please don't be offended but I was kind of referring to cmmsense (i believe is now called "reasons?") and wvengence, merely because I could post at one time during the day, come back an hour later to discover four more posts by you two, make my post, come back a few hours later and discover yet more posts by you two. This much regularity must mean you're often at afterdawn, surely?

 

here, just to tell u the xbox 360 will beat the PS3, the xbox 360 will have MORE games just like the first xbox. See the PS2 never had original games, but the xbox has halo, halo 2, fable, doom 3, midtown madness 3 and so it goes, this list won't finish. Name more than 5 original games on PS2. (hint its not any gta games) . u bag off Plasystion fans, the Playstation will never ever beat the xbox. (maby in u'r dreams.)

 

Come on, Sammorris. As I mentioned previously, I'm a computer geek by profession so I never really work.

Plus, I'm always near a computer and internet connection (occupational hazard).

 

Yeah, I'm off of school for the summer, so I have some time to check afterdawn during the day.
