Playstation 3 press conference today...

[EpsiIon]

Wow, they took the worst controller in the industry and made it worse. Way to go, Sony.

 

[James3shin]

worst controller??? I'd have to say the Dual Shock 2 was the best controller, it was the most flexible, and all the buttons were actually useful. Unlike the little black and white buttons on the xbox controller as well as the C-stick on the gamecube controller.

 

[Rogue]

If those Killzone shots are actual gameplay footage, Sony may have just made a believer out of me. That is impressive!

 

[mobobuff]

I actually like the design of the controller. Much better than the awkwardly fat and ugly XBox controller.

 

[Tremulant]

I agree with James3shin and mobobuff

IMO, the PS3 controller looks kinda strange, but I don't think it'll be that bad in your hands. It should fit pretty well.

K, I'm off to watch 24.

Warhawk game-in-progress doesn't look that great but look at all those planes.

 

[Baked]

1080p (PS3) > 720p (NaziBox) /thread

However, I will not buy either systems.

those look like cut scenes to me

What I am wondering is this.... How much will IBM gain ($$$$) from the consoles? (PS3, XBOX 360, Nintendo Revolution), considering IBM has its finger in every consoles development one way or another.....?

IBM is the the only "from the start" gainer in all of this ($$$ wise)...

Go IBM!

 

[jabamayne]

Any ideas?

Well the Spiderman 2 movie model was rendered real time along with Final Fantasy 7 CG, so what looks like cut scenes now probably are in-game shots on the upcoming consoles.

 

[dsfunk]

looks pretty good to me

 

[RaynorWolfcastle]

Those screenies are very nice but with a fall 2006 launch date in North America, I see an Xbox360 in my future... I might go for the PS3 when it comes out if it's head and shoulders above the Xbox360

They did FF8 CG in real time when they showed off the PS2, remember? The ballroom dance? I haven't seen a PS2 game like that yet...

 

[91TTZ]

It's the same old hype from sony. "Supercomputer for the masses". Yup, just like the PS2 was a Supercomputer.

 

[James3shin]

Sony's hype machine is probably the best...

 

[BlackAdam]

That has got to be THE WORST design for a controller I have ever seen in my life. Not loving the look of the console, but I can live with it. One thing that also bothers me is the font they used for the logo.... SPIDERMAN! Not very good compared to the PS2 logo at all. The system also looks fairly large, but generally I'm impressed.

Now, this actually looks like a real screenshot. Not that other rendered crap which Microsoft and Sony and all the game makers are trying to pull off as the games.

 

[randomlinh]

wireless bluetooth.. hrm... i dunno if i like that...

 

[Shlong]

"If you are fortunate enough to have two 16:9 HD displays, the PS3 will support a panorama 32:9 viewing mode that will span both displays."

[James3shin]

the dual HDMI will be a blessing to those privilaged enough to have 2 HDTV's/Displays...32:9...WILD man!

 

[Mo0o]

If Killzone for PS3 can trump HALO3, PS3 will sell better than XBOX. IF Msft can get the squaresoft contract, game over.
