Wild's ninth win in a role. They're playing against the LA Kings. Score 4:1 I left at the end of the first quarter when the peewee hockey played for 15 minutes, because I kept hearing "you're uncool" in back of me, but that may not of been directed at me. I'm hearing words like crazy too. I was at the elevator, when I went back the noose bleed section because the elevator wasn't fast enough and watched all but the last 5 minutes. It was okay, but nothing I like. The resurface things were cool. The shop was full of bargains at twice the price so my dad didn't get me a jersey ($50 for XXX size), but only a cap.

My AotuV b5 Vorbis Collection is brand new!

Fourteen hours ago, I started encoding my 4,696 MP3 collection to [url=http://rarerares.org]AoTuV beta 5 Vorbis[/url] (the most advanced low bitrate codec on Earth until AoTuV beta 6 comes out) and it completed 2 hours ago. I think Mediacoder skipped 5 songs, but I'm thinking I might bring that with me to Minnesota if I go to MN Life College otherwise I'll bring the mp3 collection I burning to DVD as I type this up. AoTuV beta 5 won the Hydroforums low bitrate audio test against AAC, WMA, and MP3. I have the AoTuV beta 4 Vorbis on my Dell Dimension, but I think I'll update it after I burn the Vorbis to DVDs. This is cool right?

Also I bought Motorstorm for PS3 for $63 two days ago.

Transfer Windows HDD files to PS3 via your Network

This is a proven free way to transfer your MPEG4 movies onto the PS3 hard drive

First, you may be well aware that MPEG2 is illegal and therefore not possible for PS3 to decode off the HDD. The only codec that will work is H.263 (also MPEG4 ASP) and H.264 (also MPEG4 AVC). To do this, you must download [URL="http:///www.redkawa.com/videoconverters/ps3video9"]Red Kata's PS3Video9 [/URL], download the encoder while installing as well. You may do H.263, but that's a little dated. So I suggest doing MPEG4 AVC. You can skip this part if the container is *.MP4 already.

1.) Now Download [URL="http://www.redkawa.com/fileserver/"]Red Kawa File Server[/URL]
2.) Go to C:\Program Files\Red Kawa\File Server\core
3.) In this "core" folder make another folder called "files"
4.) Dump your large videos or mp3s in there. AAC worsk, but those crash on mine.
5.) Then, on your PS3's browser go to : http://:8192/files
6.) Download the file onto your hdd.

I also torrent Falcon 4.0 Allied Force and MS Office 2007 Enterprise Edition this month. F4AF FMV doesn’t show up on my monitor (I uploaded it to Youtube), but the sound plays, so I had to delete the files. Good thing I didn’t waste my money on it. It may play on my Dell Dimension XPS, but I have better things to do such as go to the Science Museum of Minnesota with my father. Problem is this Trojan got onto my computer and used up more bandwidth then I wished, got into the red danger levels of my bandwidth cap.

I got an email from a recruiter from Assurant which said she’ll interview me again if I feel I can qualify. I don’t know if my job agency will call or will I have too if I want to work nights there. Last time I asked; she said I wasn’t qualified for this particular job. The CEO said I couldn’t work there, but maybe she changed his mind. It could be those cleverly written trick answers which I’m betting on.

F-22 Raptor vs. F-16 Fighting Falcon

Two main plains of the US Airforce. Which one is used and why? It's really elementary. The US Airforce (and Navy cos the F35 has vertical lifting ability) F22 is too expensive for missions that F-16 can handle so that's it's primary issue. While it's used, it's used in worst case scenarios. Why have both aircraft? It's it's primary purpose. The F-22 Raptor will someday be outdated by a X plane, probably unmanned version of it. If I was the military I just use F-16 until dogfights got too tough for it (won't happen).


I have this game.

PS3forums quotes pt 1

How can 36 and Wii compete wtih Home


It's hardly initiative. Sony was looking at the best selling PC game ever, The Sims 2, and copied it exactly with VoIP and mp3 streaming additions. But peopel don't care....Sony fans will love it because The Sims 2 technically is the best selling pc game ever.


've been trying to think of how the other consoles can compete with PSHome. for example, is making xbox live "free" enough? It seems like ps3 has gotten an advantage in the online network. Everytime i think of how 360 or wii can compete with Home, i can only think of them making their own "home". Like seriously, what else could they do?


I disagree. PS3 is in 3rd place. Xbox 360 and Wii are in 2nd place. How exactly can't they compete? Their superiority will still above PS3 w/o HOME. HOME is irrelevant, really. HOME is just a large file you'll download for free. Some people will do it, but most people won't.

Is Motorstorm Worth it?


I haven't bought a PSP game in 4 months and missed out on Ratchet & Clank Size Matters and Daxter until 2pm today for $55 with Gamestop discounts. And I have to save my money up for Atelier Iris 3 ~Grand Fantasm~ next month (best Gust-developed RPG yet, 8.0 out of 10) in April. Also coming out in April is Riviera The Promised Land. I'd wait until it's $29 3 months from now.

NEW Rachet and Clank info + Screens (PS3 game)


know this looks awesome and there are a lot of 20-something year olds into videogames, but I don't know how i'm going to pay for these advanced software. Or hardware when it breaks. I guess I rather talk about it then keep buying $50 - $60 next gen games all the time. That's what most of people on this forum do, right?

I'm ignoring my gaming rig on the other side of my room! Expensive piece of crap! It's hard to know what platform to play on when you own everything at the moment. I might have an anime RPG addiction which may explain why I'm into consoles.

I like to see that even though it is difficult now to develop for the ps3 companys are not shying away from it. Cell style technology is going to be a standard design pretty soon so not learning it is only going to ruin a company. Also with the upcoming GDC I hope to see even more companys willing to tackle development on the ps3 (talk of releasing dev tools at GDC).

http://www.s-times.net/03052007/04/id_software_hypes_nintendo_wii_ps3_and_xbox_360


Yeah, the game industry is like a 100 billion dollar industry, but the fanbase is shrinking even though it's much bigger than it was in 1990s. It really would be death for a developer if he didn't learn the hardware and multiports seem to lessen financial damage if the publisher can do PS3, 360, Wii, maybe PSP as well. In this regard, EA and Activision and Namco-Bandai have no worries cos they're the biggest. Square-Enix can survive on PS2, PSP, and NDS because of their fanbase is so large unlike a lot of other developers. I have like most of their games too on PS, PS2

The Inquier on Console Shortages


I like IGN or Gamespot, depending on the section...the editors are bashing other sections. I've been to the inquirer to prove my point on a few occasions at wikipedia (ie keep those wikipedians from flaming at me for giving the real Wii specs. They called me uncreditable)


Motorstorm thread


My life is fricken terrible. I have a friend over once every 4 months. I can't make friends. The Gamestp[ people are calling Sony fanboys stupid and crazy for knowing the Wii specs. I could be wasting my time in front of the TV, but I've been doing that since 8. What sets me a part form the normal gamer is the fact I think games are stupid (on the road....i hang around non-gamers) because no body cares abuot my opinion and I have 120 PS2 games, 42 PS games, 42 DC games, 23 N64 games, 18 Saturn games, 69 Xbox games, 16 Xbox 360 games, 50+ PC games and no body games with me so I'm forced to! And I don't even have my CCNA degree!

Life is so damn uninteresting that I've thought about suicide, but the fact I'm anthiest and think once you died....you dont' go to heaven...point is i dread death so I hate living at home and ****ing doing nothing.

*Drunk with Surly Darkness* Yet another $60 down the piper *hick* paying for Motorstorm and everybody favors the popular guy" *Hick* .

F1CE Review

Nobody goes to Gamerankings.com for reasons i don't know. We got a 40%, 50%, 48%, and IGN's 72%

Greatest Console Ever Made?


Why the heck is 16-bit SNES is the 2nd favorite conosle of all time...


What was on it? Legend of Zelda Link to the Past or Chrono Trigger? Those games are really outdated. I see how ppl voted N64 with Perfect Dark, Goldeneye and Legend of Zelda OoT, Banjo Kazooie and SM64 though because that was a time where polygons existed! PS must've tied because of the Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo, and MGS...maybe Chrono Cross.

Anyone purchase VF5 yet?

I owned it since yesterday. It's great. The fighters are so much like supermodels....before you know it...Sega is putting out "Virtua Fighter Beach Volleyball" All the men are going to be in boxers and all the women are going to be in bikini. Except unlike DOAX2, Virtua Fighter Beach Volleyball is going to have multiple jetski courses!


Is this game even out in Canada yet?


Give a Wal-Mart in Detroit your Canadian dollars....I'm sure they'll take $50 and $10 bills.

All I'm saying is N64 and PS make more sense as 2nd place behind PS2 because it emulated SNES, backwards comptiable with PSone.

my local game store has had the same lineup on the shelf for 3 weeks now with the exception of a couple of new titles added


But how many titles do you plan to own? 14 - 20?

PS3 Fans, Why Did you not buy a 360?


The reason why I didn't buy a 2nd Xbox 360 is because PS3 is more powerful so I bought two (one was freebee), I bought a Geforce 8800 GTX for $630, and I thought I couldn't go wrong with PS3 because it has two best selling consoles of all time inside it. I figured out that a 64 kbps LAME 3.97 b2 mp3 file sounds a lot like a AAC file at the same bitrate and it doesn't currupt on the hdd so i'm even more happy then i was a month ago.



And I'll tell you the facts: Xenon can't execute x86 instructions natively, it has to use emulation. And what does any of this have to do with licensing? Microsoft doesn't have to pay nVidia anything. Why the hell would they? And since both consoles use the Direct3D API, the most that would be needed is a compatability layer for some GeForce specific things.


Sorry man I'm right for once...please don't get mad. CTRL F emulate and you'll find the word is non-existent.

A 333 MHz RISC CPU can certainly emulate a 33 MHz RISC (with only 2 MB of VRAM and a MB of RAM) at half the PS's resolution. That's like so simple for it.


3GB of ram is not needed to emulate


Damn it! I ****ing know this! It's just that I so happen to have 3 GB inside it for no ****ing reason...I'm going to ****ing lie and say I only have 512 MB in my PC so you can laugh at me and say that isn't enough ram.

A Opteron 165 2.8GHz dual core mode is only 56 fps in the most complex Final Fantasy 10 (2001 era) and this is emulating 1 294 MHz 128-bit RISC and two 160 MHz 128-bit RISC. It's not even doing God of War 2. The Xenon is 3 cores at 3.2 GHz sharing 1 MB L2 cache and you believe that it can emulate a 733 MHz Pentium 3? Xbox 360 even has in order processing like current x86 CPUs (before the AMD K8L, the first out of order x86 CPU since Pentium III)

Even Grandia III is getting 44.3 Frames per second on the Dual Core AMD Opteron 165 2.8GHz

The Xenon would have to be reading the game code w/o emulating the Pentium 3 otherwise you would see below normal fps on all games. It is true Xbox 360 runs Xbox games at full frames per second so it can't be possibly emulating it like you say it is. And it is the first PPC architecture running Windows NT kernal which itself is compatible with the Xbox WinNT kernel which fools the Xbox game code into thinking Xenon is compatible architecture. It doesn't give error messeges or anything does it?

Plus this site says the Xenon CPU shares similarities with Pentium 4

Stupid idea.


Even if Sony were to remove Emotion Engine, the Emotion engine, SPE, MIPS, Vector Units are in my current one. PSX2 is running Final Fantasy X at 15 fps and I thought my Athlon 64 X2 4800 ...point is I don't believe PS3 can software emulate PS2 with those specs. The only reason why Xbox 360 could emulate Xbox is Xenon could read source code the Pentium 3 uses because it's designed specifically to do so.


Athlon 64 X2 4800
512 MB of RAM at 400 MHz
Geforce 7800 GTX

Cell isn't a Xenon so how could you make it read PS2 game code?

Sony has the resources with IBM to make the chip exceptionally small and inexpensive...heck the CPU has compatible with assembly code writen for games...it can be different clock speeds or differnt architecture (like the IBM Xenon acting as an emulator for the Pentium III). The FC Twin isn't using Nintendo hardware specs and it is compatible with SNES and NES games.

I realize that the Emotion Engine is off when PS3 games use the PS3 hardware. In a future firmware update, developers can use the Emotion Engine to their advantage getting some extra CPU load off Cell Broadband Engine for AI and LPCM processing.

It's possible to use the Emotion Engine in PS3 games right?

Virtua Fighter 5 boosts PS3 sales


It's cooler then John Lennon for the remainer of this month. Then another superior game will come out that eclipes VF5 in game play, graphics, sound, and replay value such as Final Fantasy 13! So until then, you have to play some really boring less-then-perfect fighting game. PS3 is getting so bored playing something not 9.5 out of 10 like MGS4 huh?

It's pretty good.....not perfect, but pretty good. And I can buy it tomorrow (16 hrs 15 minutes and counting)


PS3 is #2 in AOL's "Gadgets you shouldn't buy"


Stare at your cable/satellite box when one asks why BD is doing badly. Kick it if you want too, but since nobody is that stupid here...you'll just have to live with satellite which has more varity/is cheaper/more delightful then worth buying on BD at the moment. Satellite subscribers pretty much own DVD collectors' soul too.

It's definitely not an old school game collection....

And those people who think the future is downloading MPEG4 onto HDDs as TV...Tivo converts MPEG2.5 satellite streams into MPEG4 (maybe H264) for HDD storage and it's in real time too!

Funny how this quickly turned into an AOL bashing thread Haha


Well yeah, I got those annoying 30 day free of AOL 5/6/7/8/9/10 trials in the mail to screw me over with long distance call charges and hidden back out fees! Must be a member for at least 1 year or pay $100. Plus, the biggest problem is 56k only! If you got a router and cable inside your home....your cable ISP is probably not AOL


I used to have AOL, but they falsely charged me for a month's fee that I never used with my PC. It was one of those promotional packages that came with my PC. We just need patience because good games haven't shown up yet (Virtua Fighter 5 coming tomorrow). The EU PS3 launch will show us some good games. I just hope the 360 and Wii people accuse us of having ports that are available for their systems. Motorstorm will show us the PS3's capabilities.


Sorry to be a angry humbug or anything, but it's true AOL is the worst ISP ever! They don't even program Netscape. Mozilla Foundation does. AOL takes money from Netscape the ISP service. They can say anything they want and be in denial. The real truth of Bluray's slow sales is HD and standard def satellite channels. All that money is going towards paying for DirecTV HD package or the foreign equivenant of DirecTV HD programming!

There is nothing wrong with Bluray technically. Bluray has all the backing of every major corperation except Universal Studios (keep in mine that Universal was the last publisher of Data VHS which says a lot) Has anyone other then me saw a real life DVHS tape?

There is none that i know of you all need modded machines,


Action Replay Max Evo Edition & SNESSTATION /w USB tweak. ARMEE comes with PGEN and PC software to burn SMDs on it.

F1CE gets a 90/100!!!

Who gave their Valentine a Vermont Teddy Bear?


This exceptionally well made bear is made in Vermont by the Vermont Teddy Bear Company and it's cute too. Everybody likes teddy bears.

I actually thought of this while searching google for valentine day gifts.




Let me point out what you said here, "immense computer power that is available in the CPU." For the heck of it, lets all just admit that the PC itself nowadays is immensly powerful. Heres the thing though, a while ago, someone made a thread about the new Dell C2H computer and within that thread I did advise nobody to purchase it. But do you know why Dell built that computer? Mainly because we've seen most of the limits that we can do right now with the PC. All we can really do is up the processor (make more cores),


Hey man, are you telling us that buying a AMD K8L quadcore CPU isn't worth the money when the reviews give it a 9.0? I mean if you own a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800 with 1 MB L2 cache is still reletively powerful I should wait until a later model of AMD K8L (late 2008 ) is out that has higher MHz and $300 less expensive than the launch model.

quadcore at 2.6 GHz (starting at)
out of order operations (like Xbox and IBM PPC900 CPUs)
2 MB L2 cache
2 MB L3 cache (free bonus) 4x power
L1 cache sort of slow: dual 128-bit bus

Core 2 Duo Extreme

quadcore at 3.0 GHz
in order operations
L1 cache: 128-bit bus
2 MB of L2 cache only half as much and bad bad bad
NO L3 cache What's L3 cache? We have teh bling bling logo!
Shiny and trusted "Intel logo" It sells processors by itself

Athlon X2 4800

1 MB L2 cache
64KB L1 cache
in-order operations (like Xbox 360)

To you, browsing some forums and arguing with some noobs is more fun than playing some great games?


Course. People don't care what I play...they care what i know.


First off, if it's allready bin posted don't blame me. I used search and nothing came up.

It may be Febuary but my local GameStation was selling the March edition of "PlayStation Official Magazine - UK"... don't ask why.

So I look on the back to find a small Bioshock screen
Quote:
Stunning aquatic horror/shooter set to make waves on PS3
being the text next to the image. I turn to the page about Bioshock.

Quote:
Bioshock's version of a decaying underwater utopia is one of the most original ideas coming to PS3.
Then there is a lot of text about the idea of the game.


If anyone would like pics, please say so.

Mine's prettier.

who listens to ea? i would answer this but i dont wanna offend anyone. besides ea.


NASTAQ


Right now, most of us here think the 360 will be on top for this generation, with the battle for second place between Sony and Nintendo (and that's a major shock


I'm on a verge of buying a wii, but i can't find one. I own a X360 (which obviously needs surge protector or it'll eventually get "spiked") and a PS3 (trying hard to prevent a spike)


:My crappy ports does not sell well on the PS3, so get a Wii and 360, where people keep buying my god awful ports


Madden NFL 2005 was brilliant across the board 3 major consoles. 9.5 out of 10 those years. Best balance of gameplay. Unfortunately, Madden NFL 2005 isn't a PS3 game. Interesting aspect of Madden 2005 is it had competition from a much cheaper, better football game from Visual Concepts.


Shut your employees up, just like you did when they weren't getting paid for overtime, get off your crown of Madden Football, and try to actually make a good game for once.


That's what all Europeans and Austriasian countries say about Madden. How do i know if you're from one of those countries?


Yeah, EA's crappy ports aren't selling on the PS3. Guess what? Besides Resistance, which sold decently, nothing else is.


I bought Ridge Racer 7 because you don't buy a $500 console plus $60 insurance to play 1 game. I believe that is something that anyone here can agree with. Plus, it got the 2nd highest launch title score at IGN.

Bluray vs. HDDVD replication costs revealed


I know.....let's let Sony worry about the 25 GB BD cost, we buy the good PS3 games for $60 and not think about it cos it's a waste of brain power. Good reason why, you'll have to go back to the drawing board and get hyped up for 300 GB Holographic Versicle Disc in 2009 as the next big movie format. By then, you can see a lot of bargian Blu-ray movies, and BD-RW in your computer are sorta mainstream.

Much has been speculated about the cars that will be available on GT5, but apparently no one's talking about the licensed tracks. So what new tracks do you wanna see in GT5? I personally would love to see some legendary tracks such as Monza, Silverstone, Indianapolis, Hockenhein, and most important than all, Spa-Francochamps.


I want whatever they manage to rip me off on. At least Gran Turismo 4 you can buy for $40 when it came out at Gamestop used. Gran Turismo 4 had everything!

http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=38

every year at SEMA a car is chosen to be put into the next Gran Turismo game. It is a very prestigious award as the game is the most popular driving simulator to date.

Now imagine this, with the Eyetoy 2's technology to upload your face into your PS3 and create your very own avatar of yourself. Imagine if you could use your eyetoy to upload your exact car into the game. (Dents and all lol).
This would open a whole new ground to customizing and make the next GT amazing!

edit: click the gran turismo awards vid from the link.


Impossible. What you pay for is what you get! No expansion paks, no freebee cars (and limited cars on the BD won't hurt the overall score...I guarantee you that)

By the way Renegade, what relm you play on? East/West/etc.? I have a few accounts on USeast for D2:LoD if you wanted to hook up.


I'll play on USEast....my user account is renegadeviking. I have many saved single player d2 files saved on the net. It'd be more fun starting out with a lvl 50 or higher character then level 1. Do you play often? I have nothing to do today actually.

Street Fighter 2 being Remade


What is wrong with just playing the < $20 Street Fighter Anniversary Collection?

You know Capcom's repeating failure with Street Fighter EX! Street Fighter EX and King of Fighters Maximum Impact are not good ones.

Ok so I just finished watching a Gamespot interview with one of the guys from AM2 who worked on VF5 for PS3. Don't ask me his name. Anyhow in the translation text there is a bit where he says they needed the Blu-ray space to fit all of the extra character items that are unlockable. Or something to that affect anyway.


What is true here is Xbox 360 will be on DL-DVD and the PS3 version will be on BD. VF5 is on BD simply because every (100%) ps3 game coming out are also on BD. No conflicts. That's just how things are. It's true that VF5 can fit on DVD /w compression and lossy audio codecs like WMA.

Hold up that doesn't make sense, VF5 for the Xbox 360 is coming out months after the PS3 version so why cut content from the PS3 version if it's not going to be a simultaneous release?


As much as Sony fans would love to have more content, SEGA-AM2 chose to do the PS3 version first, and had a easier time porting the code to Xbox 360 so there was time to spare to add levels and characters, because later ports always have more content.

Was true for

DOA 2X for Xbox
Sonic Adventure DX for Cube
Skies of Arcadia for Cube
Fatal Frame 2 for Xbox and PS2 after the original
Resident Evil 4 for PS2
Resident Evil Code Veronica X for PS2
Star Ocean 3 for NTSC PS2
Xbox port of Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance
Conker Live and Reloaded
Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution
Hydro Thunder for Dreamcast


I can see the 360 version coming aout later being superior than the PS3


I discovered the absolutely right answer to why the 360 version is superior to the PS3 version.
Virtua Fighter 5 is running on the Sega Lindbergh arcade board. It makes perfect sense...the arcade is powered by DirectX 9.0c

he physics card is not a godsend but it does help your graphics card run at a much more considerable ease when possible.


That's not a problem for now. The most complex game on my HDD is Guild Wars Nightfall (I'm in GW: Prophecies at the moment....resilient to play it due to my stubbornness to finish with Final Fantasy 12 and talk on the forums at the same time with constant sleep. Thinking Guild Wars can run on a Geforce 6600 GT at 1280x1024 fine so that shows how much slack i have before my system gets laggy again!

Any new games like Battlefield 2142, Neverwinter Nights 2 will run at max settings on my G8800 GTX and Battlefield 2142 I thought is a higher-end PC game. What I'm saying is I have to do this all single player.....no online FPS for me coz satellite broadband limitations. My favorite MMORPG takes hardly any resources because it is Diablo 2 /w Lord of Destruction. Consoles have a more fun single player experience

If I feel I need extra *for my eyes only* graphics boost for just UT3 than I'll get a 64 MB physics card. Haven't decided if I want software over hardware I don't need or vice versa.

1up too of course. I just want to repeat the success of eGameaddiction.com...they post their collections for every platform and everybody seemed to love to comment on the person above them, and jolly good thread.

Someone please reply....you can even lie and post the largest collection on IGN!

Got updates

2010, Cell-based CPU and no BD-ROM confirmed by Engadget I think.

Epic Games Gears up For Greatness


Sony is lucky they can even distribute UT3! They don't exactly have the PS2-level of game releases! Any decent title is welcomed in my opinion! Of course this is the internet, you can exaggerate that and say UT3 for PS3 doesn't have the balls of x360. (IGN PS3 score 8.5, IGN X360 score 9.4)

Without such support they would end up like the Dreamcast or Sega Saturn.

I knew what G_H_G was saying when PS3 came out. Forza 2 could've had 2 DVDs like Gran Turismo 2 had 2 CDs, but the extra media would cut into profits and Microsoft can get $60 outta everybody /w the 12 environments. Forza 2 is going to be a hot game when it comes out. It'll be at the bottom of top games at IGN and Gamespot. Most X360 owners are going to invest in Forza 2 because it's like GT and that's what happened in 2005. Forza 2 sold Xboxes above Gamecube sales in the USA.

I know...how about all the tracks X360 can't decompress normally in Forza 2, the game extracts from 7zip files onto the HDD! That's clever, but it won't happen....for no reason. Makes me mad.

The only games X360 has multi-DVDs are Blue Dragon (3 DVDs) and Half-life 2 Orange Box (2 DVDs)?

The answer to this thread is NO... Blu-ray is not NEEDED for games right now!


You know Sony....rather waste 3/4 of a BD than have a DVD logo on the PS3 game.


and my ps1 is a launch console too and is still as strong as the day i got it


I find that hard to believe, but it's possible. Everybody with a PS1 (not PSone) said it had terrible lifespan. You had to turn it vertically or upside down, because something wore away the laser diode.

i was a bit slow hitting save so that's why this reply may look strange


Sony will still support the PS3 untill 2013/2014.


Sony will stop supporting it in 2012 with some RPG, but EA is going to put Madden on it in 2013 and 2014.


I was wondering if anyone expected their PS3 to last the full duration of this gen or do you expect to have to replace it?


My Xbox 360 lasted a year w/o issues, but it wasn't hardware failure, it was a grounding issue... The fact I didn't have a good surge protector.

New TUROK PS3 Screens!


I am trying really hard to find the superior game engine...Unreal Engine 3 or Cryengine 2.

Don't get me wrong...I paid more money on my Geforce 8800 GTX than i did on my PS3. Geforce 8800 GTX has 768 MB GDDR4 and runs Crysis. But I've been trying to get thru Final Fantasy 12 and am thinking of playing Rogue Galaxy now that i've bought it two days ago (before the extremely cold weather set in) and I admit, my analysis of these incredible engines are wearing thin. I'm still shocked that game engine in Cyrsis is that unbelievably real. My most realistic PC game is F.E.A.R. which is two years old so believe me I'm behind the times a bit.

Okay this is F.E.A.R on my computer and currently the best i have. Sorry. I feel ashamed I'm behind the times....

I still have Suikoden , my first and only RPG . I dont think it works anymore though , but was some real fun back in the day .


Great, I played that game too. I was playing it for 10 hrs. Try resurfacing it.


The game of recent has to be Parasite Eve II


Squaresoft making horror survival games didn't make sense to me. I was afraid to touch it when I bought PS1 in 2002.

You don't need to mod a PS2 to play backups either, not these days.


I know PCSX2 can't get up to 60 fps even on high-end PCs yet (Core 2 Duo, 2 Geforce 8800 GTX, 2 Gig RAM). Needs work to do this. Otherwise, I'm lost on how you can play backups on PS2s w/o modchips!

PS3forums quotes pt 2

Then MS would announce an HD-DVD drive "built in" to neutralize the PS3. Then they denied that this was ever in the plans.


I remember when that former President of Sega of America Peter something said that. But MS wants Xbox 360 to be less expensive so it can continue to dominate Wii. Ps3 just sold 1 million units last month. Not that I care because I got two PS3s and a Xbox 360.


Then Blu-ray's were "vulnerable" to scratches, much moreso than HD-DVD, and they were inherently flawed for rental companies. But then people on here began to realise that it is HD-DVD that is much more vulnerable to scratches and Blu-ray discs were MUCH more reliable.


I think HD-DVD and Bluray are the same ebcause both have cases, if you take care of it...should last long enough until HVD comes out and replaces BD and HDDVD as mainstream HD format in 2010 or 2011.


These arguments all turned out to be wrong. But at least they were somewhat interesting because we were all waiting with baited breath to see how the PS3 would effect sales and what would happen at CES.


Wait. I'm sure everybody read IGN and Gamespot.com reviews and realised that maybe X360 had more 9.0s then PS3 with Resistance FOM being only one until Virtua Fighter 5 in 20 days. Then people look at the screenshots and make their decisions based on what evidence of screenshots they have. Doubt many people hear of CES!

WTF?!? I didn't understand a word you just said. Maybe I missed something because I didn't read the last page.

You are making no sense whatsoever


Really? I really was trying to make sense. So I took the idea of developers claiming 1080p hardware scaling didn't exist and it does so maybe it was a misconception on the programmers part. My writing may be a HS level /w bad english? Americans get taught worse in writing English than Europeans.


Saying a game is 720P by design is meaningless. A game can be rendered to many output resolutions. I can run my PC games at 1280x720, 1600x1200 or 1920x1080 (all 16:9). Which resolution is it "designed" for? All, the game assets like textures are independent from output resolution. Like I said before I can run Quake 2 at 1920x1080 and FEAR at 640x480, of course newer games "match" HD resolutions better for obvious reasons.


Yeah what he said. I think everybody that has PC game would understand thou. PS3 is the exception because it costs like entry level new PC unlike any other console that is standard def CRT TV ready which explains why nothing was above 640x480 for two generations (Jaguar 3DO, PS, N64, Saturn, Dreamcast) and every consoles downsample to 480p. I only had a HDTV for two


and my ps1 is a launch console too and is still as strong as the day i got it


I find that hard to believe, but it's possible. Everybody with a PS1 (not PSone) said it had terrible lifespan. You had to turn it vertically or upside down, because something wore away the laser diode.

i was a bit slow hitting save so that's why this reply may look strange

I have one PS2 that is 76% done with lifecycle and a brand new PStwo with 0% done with it's lifecycle. If I allow PS2 game runs on PS3 it will ware out my PS3 faster and i have no warrentee.

Capo Digi has a sig with King Arthur looking for the holy grail, Jesus's daughter and it's in London according to the Di Vinci Code. Now, I am seriously wondering if Graham Chapman already knew this when doing his part as King Arthur in Monty Python's Holy Grail. Movie was seriously funny. Graham was a genius so of course he purposely did a movie on it 30 years before the Di Vinci Code.



Half-life 2 Orange Coming this summer to PS3


Downloading torrents sucks thru my connection so I am buying HL2 Black for PC only even though it sounds too good to be true on PS3, yet it's coming out at $60! I don't want to have my Geforce 8 series wasted. I haven't played a game on it in over 40 days because of these forums are so addicting! With the Neverwinter Nights 2 torrent at Torrentspy I only averaged at 7 Kb/s with 17 Kb/s tops. It's a wonder how I managed to get Panzer Dragoon saga, Dragon Force, Guardian Heroes, and Magic Knight Rayearth over my Kaband connection.

Is Blu-ray the best medium for GAMES?


Okay, Ars-Technicia doesn't mention that all games cache off the hard drive so for example Square-Enix could save data to hard drive while the area of Final Fantasy is loaded into memory so the next area will load really fast. What is a 10 second loading screen in RRVII to you? How about we accept it doesn't load levels instantly like a N64 would. Who is going to buy Xbox 360 over PS3 because of a few seconds difference in loading screens. A lot more people bought Neo Geo CD more then Neo Geo AVS and the loading times of Neo Geo CD sucked /w 1x CD-ROM!

IGN's Most Anticipated Playstation games of 07


I like Half-life 2 Orange Box the best despite getting ep2 for PC... God of War 2 is a ps2 game. Did you mean it's multi platform?

Here is my list (okay so it's a little science fiction)

1.) Grand Theft Auto 5
2. Grand Theft Auto 4
3.) Gran Turismo 5
4.) Metal Gear Solid 4
5.) Final Fantasy XIV
6.) Final Fantasy XIII & VS XIII
7.) Dragon Quest X
8.) Xenogears II (because Namco ends Xenosaga, square-enix still has license)
9.) Valkyrie Profile 3
10.) Star Ocean 4
11.) God of War 3
12.) Resident Evil 5
13.) Disgaea 3
14.) Super Mario and Legend of Zelda competition disc (I can fantasize)

If this is indeed true, then I have one less reason to buy a 360.


I can say that, but i own both already so there is no point. That still would hurt my ability to get 4 rep pts being so rich and poor (whichever way you look at it) I can not even afford a 35 dollar DS game. I want Castlevania Portrait of Ruin because it is a castlevania game of good score of 8.5.
What could i possibly say when i get Wii in two months. I could very well be changing views monthly depending on my "latest" favorite game is on *insert here*. Funny thing the gawl darn truth of the matter is my mp3s and aac corrupts on the first model's hdd so buying a 60 gig model (/w firmware 1.30) would surely be a waste of money.
Such as last month's favorite was Gears of War, this month's favorite is Panzer Dragoon Saga (downloaded the torrent...am so thrilled). Next month will be Legend of Zelda TTP or Castlevania PoR.

Which FF13 are u most hyped up for


I must be drunk when I say FF13 looks god awefully immature (anime plus the clothing) and the dialog are at least 13 year old comprehention level. I don't care if the lead role is male or female coz I'm not sexist.....who wouldn't want sexy women in the lead role? I mean FF12 is the first time a Squaresoft rpg doesn't rely on anime which i agree with sort of cos it makes it more western RPG-like. But no, Squaresoft had to go back to the animish ATB RPG we had since SNES! Don't matter to people anyways. They'll buy this game no matter what battle system, clothing, facing it has because it has "Final Fantasy" on the box. Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicles sold over 1 million copies and it wasn't high-grade as Final Fantasy X-2. Final Fantasy III wasn't very good either and yet the brand name alone sold a lot of copies.

Blu-ray isn't changing gaming

It is changing how lazy the programmer can be and no, Xbox 360 games may look superior which says it all. The gaming developer is welcome to get lazy with compression and filesizes. If there is no compression comprimizes, maybe all that effort can go towards artistic design and story direction. It worked for Resistance. Unfortunately, Playstation 2 would be the "NES of Sony" PS3 is the "N64 of Sony" while PS1 is the "SNES of Sony". <-- strikely popularity comparison here I might add.

Wow, I found that incredibly pathetic. Go impress your friends with your own skills, instead of taking credit for someone else's.


No really! You're not obligated too. Doing it myself anyway like everyone else okay. No body got their feelings hurt.

his is some indication that the attach rate for HD-DVD is much better


Easily because the only dual layer BD is "Click" and DL-HD-DVDhas an advantage of 5 GB more space while cheaper to buy. I don't know if "DVD" in HD-DVD logo is giving HD-DVD an unfair advantage or not. Can someone clear that up for me? It's true, most of my friends are obsessive over the obsolete DVD format.


The real question is, how many potential BluRay consumers were holding off for the cheaper and higher quality (HDMI 1.3) PS3 to come out to watch their movies on?


What scares me is my parents and one of my friend is excited for the generation after Bluray because they have a HDTV, but my friend deals with the pixelation of MPEG2 on DVD. The reduced cost makes it well worth it. This friend of mine is still getting his first DL-DVDRW. He'll still be supporting DVDR when HVDs came out officially.


Are you kidding? I still have my Sega CD Lunar, and my Ghaleon punching puppet. They're not getting rid of me that easily.


I just don't get it. Lunar 1 & 2 were the best selling Sega CD games yet all the original fanfare came from the Saturn version (US Saturn release canceled due to 1998 death) so US Playstation owners got it. Always wondered why Saturn MPEG was superior to PS1s FMV. MPEG is MPEG -- hardware shouldn't matter! Still one of the highlights of the PS version was MPEG quality was up to Final Fantasy VIII standards.

Of course it plays obsolete...I played The Silver Star Story and I say it played obsolete for PS RPG.

Meh, all my games were burned.


Tough luck.

CarpetShark


I sure don't know if Sony is going to win, but I am absolutely right when I know CarpetShark's avatar is Mao from Shadow Hearts - From the New World....I am just that good! I'm a sony fan, and I'm a power-purchaser for somebody not rich. Videogames are dumb, but then they aren't dumb at the same time. It confuses me. I mean people aren't dumb on this forum yet they talk about these "worthless videogames that loose value fast /w no increase in value*. I dunno. Maybe I'm a paranoid basement guy.

So inlighten me, what's the point of collecting?


(A) The price will only hinder sales a little bit until a price drop, which isnt to far off in the future.
The PS3 is obviously an awesome console and is recognized by consumers as such.


I know it's scary thought when PS3 keeps lowers in price, the less special you are (and the more mainstream it is). Spooky!

I thought it was called the white engine? or was that other Square Enix games?


I didn't look at wikipedia for the info.

Then, Square doesn't even sell their technologies, when it becomes obsolete, they simply scrap it and make a new one... jerks... lol


That's how they keep all the money inside the company (why save money when your 2nd largest publisher in japan). No matter how much money Square spends on flagship titles...they always get 150% back


"PS3 as a Bluray Player"
http://www.guidetohometheater.com/hd...rs/1206ps3blu/

do yourself a favor and read the entire article but for the lazy.. there are some standouts below:


That's nice, but I watched Talladega Nights which sucked movie wise and i got all the other Blu-ray on DVD which is a waste of money to upgrade to High Def. Also, my parents aren't ready for HD yet. They went from VHS (1970s tech) straight to DVD. No S-VHS, no HiFi-VHS, no Data-VHS in between that, and we still have a composite tv (people like us use their TVs for at least 5 years!).
And no it's not NASCAR that's the problem. It's the fact they didn't put Rudy (Sean Austin) in it instead. Why put a movie based on America's 2nd most spectator sport?
What the heck! What the **** is wrong with Rudy? It doesn't matter to you british anyways. You hate both American Football and NASCAR. What's your problem?

think it's entirely possible that Blu-ray has won and we just don't know it yet


Blu-ray may be winning, but since my Circuit City is the top store in all the midwest and it says HD-DVD is doing better now in this part of the country, it'd be unwise to not take their word for it. They have as much credibility as any electronic store in Woodbury, MN.

Will there be a Lite-on HVD player peripheral for PS3 by 2010 to move PS3 to the next level of High Def when the time comes? It's not impossible right?


It's probably not to hard to do 1tb of data on a movie.


It's not 1 TB, it's 300 GB right now. When Obtware said 3.9 TB, they don't mean mass-production nor available at Best Buy, they meant experimental prototypes

The standards body Ecma International is leading the standard setting group for HVD, and expects to submit a proposed standard (probably at 300 GB compacity) to the International Organization for Standardization for ISO approval, around December 2006

HVD Player addon


Will there be a Lite-on HVD player peripheral for PS3 by 2010 to move PS3 to the next level of High Def when the time comes? It's not impossible right?

Erm...ok. And the ps4 will use a cold fusion power source and have a quantum computing processor.[quote]

No, Quantium computers will be fully functional when Moore's Law ends in 2018-2020 so Playstation 6 will have a early Quantium CPU in 2018 -- maybe if we're that lucky.

[quote]I highly doubt that HVD will have it's primary use for video unless it does uncompressed 1440p or 1080p.


It'll be for various 1080p TV-series. Season 10 of The Simpsons or Season 9 of ST Voyager, because you're right it wouldn't make sense for a 2 1/2 hour movie to be on it.

What are you playing the MOST on your PS3?


Haven't opened Resistance yet. So it's the best game for PS3, I am really trying to get above 9th place in RR7. The art of drifting I had experienced with the xbox version of Colien McRae Rally 04 or Rallisport Challenge. The fact I suck at it won't matter. I have barely any friends, everybody will be playing something else in 2 months, and it's offline due to my ****ty satellite internet uplink.

I am thinking about playing a PSX RPG....one of the Final Fantasy games or Xenogears.


Why would we need a ps4 when the ps3 is future proof?


IF the PS3 was "future proof" it would've had a G80-based RSX and a better shader model, but that proved unnecessary and expensive. A DirectX 10-like PS3 would be fun.

I sorry to bring this here but I see at gamefaq.com that alot of people think Square Enix is being racist because they have no other race but white people in them. I know from pass games that this can be true


Haven't you seen black women in FF XII? How about the black people in Star Ocean 3 Till the End of Time? And the fact, there are no caucasians in Japanese RPGs. They're all Asian anyways except for FF12 which is trying to look British on purpose for change. I mean the 2nd largest market for videogames is the United States, and we're definately not made up of Asians so it would make sense to have a Final Fantasy for the Western world complete with black people.

Sony confirms PS4


Sony shouldn't of made it public. Sony is working up PS4 hardware alliances to keep the other 1st parties in check (besides Nintendo who is making profit...I know Wii 2/360 is certain realistic)
Working with Sony Toshiba IBM alliance and Nvidia G100-based GPU would be my guess.


is NOT backwards compatible and they'll abandon BD for Sony Yellow-Ray technology,


If you think "BD2" is like HVD than greenish-blue laser diode man. If it was BD Alliance's Yello-Ray than HVD alliance would say yellow laser diode instead of greenish-blue diode (HVD same generation as "yello-ray"). Got it?

It really should been GBD instead of YD, don't you think?

Vote your favorite Audio Compression


MP3
AAC (HE-AAC)
WMA
Vorbis

I pick AAC because

1.) Rather than VBR that Vorbis has....AAC is smaller filesize with flat bitrate
2.) MPEG4 part 3 is the successor to MPEG2 part 3
3.) I'm a end user who doesn't care about liscenses manufactures have to pay to legally obtain a decoder.
4.) WMA doesn't play in Linux.
5.) Nero AAC encoder 4.9.x won the July 2006 48 kbps test at Hydrogenfo

Buyin experiance at Circuit City

Circuit City is the worst place to get the PS3 for me because I'm an employee and employee gets last bids. While I'm working, I can't buy anything during my shift so when it's over the PS3 is not there (so I would say Game Stop in Inver Grove Heights is my favorite next to Shop Ko.) These places for some reason carried it at the right time I called in.


Hmm...I think you need to grow up my friend. I did look at the package, and I can read what it says, and if you would have taken time before you rushed to click "Add to cart" you would have realized whats going on.


I would buy off internet except ebay is too expensive and those online stores haven't carried any at the time I bought it late November, early December.


Red Steel


Ubisoft Paris stinks on Red Steel. They're putting all their avaliable resources in Splinter Cell Double Agent and GRAW. GRAW 360 got a 9.5 on IGN. For those who forgot, Paris was capital of the last socialist state in Europe which is why Americans boycott french fries, french red wine, french cigars, french dressing, french tea, and Jean Reno movies.

I have as of 12/19/06

Talledaga Nights Ballet of Ricky Bobby

What I hate about this generation of gamers.....

If you want a extremely pro Nintendo site: Check this site. I literally come here so i may be sane about people likign what i like; not some SNES rom you play with the wiimote and think it's the best thing ever! Okay so I'm exaggerating a little, but 1.) PS3 can be just as fun 2.) we're getting GT5, MGS4 and FFXIII. 3.) Nintendo fans hate talking about PC specs.


So when you say Novell you mean OSS as a whole


I don't know. How can you attack tarballs with source code on 1000s of servers? That's impossible. You can attack distrobutions because people pay Novell for retail boxes at CompUSA and Best Buy. Suse 10.1 is next to the Windows XP Pro boxes at the above places. Of course Microsoft would pick on Suse which happens to be owned by Novell. Suse Linux is 2nd to Ubuntu Linux in popularity and has some of the most state-of-the-art OSS software packages aimed for causal desktop user.

They want Suse out of the picture eventually for MS's survival.


PS3's launch isn't all that great


Well the $500 peice of sh!t as worth it! *sarcasium* Whos backing me up?


Well, encouraging may not be enough. And promises for better looking games in the future don't really cut it. The PS3 is here now, it costs an extra $200 (at minimum), and the visual difference is questionable


D@mn it! It's not Sony's fault DirectX 9 is a property of Microsoft! They are stuck with Open GL 2.0 hardware acceleration. Developers have a hay day developing for PC (no SDK charges because the PC is a SDK in itself). MS has the advantage!


M$ does own G4, why do you think their big PS3 launch special blew?


Xbox 360 is preferred in the majority of American gamer percentage? That's fact. The truth makes you not a nice person doesn't it?

k...I told my friends that I want to upgrade my PS3 to a 200GB harddrive. They said why do u need so much space, it's just a console. What should I tell them?


Tell them that the 1 terabyte SATA drives are out and go upgrade....it's the thrend and nerdy thing to do. Then after he says really? Tell him he's a bloke because "idoits want to upgrade for no reason so they can never fill it up, but say they have it"

just wait, and you will get all that u want. also the problem is that alot of studios are producing for both microsoft and sony now -> because XBOX did a great job with the market and which in return means MORE MONEY / more people


Game Industry doesn't interest me as much as the stuff on shelves (or my shelf for that matter) I know no matter what you say...that JRPG is $60 for either 360 or PS3 and what for? Price gouging. Game industry can get away with the price if Americans pay it and no doubt there are 2/3 as many as two generations ago in the USA. Anywho, I don't see any out and I'm mad.

Last generation (6th gen 2001 - 2006) there has been a decrease in PC gamer except for the Blizzard games which break records. The best selling PC game is still The Sims 2 from 2004. (though Diablo 2 is best selling MMORPG and RPG)

Playstation 2 is the only console that outdone the Playstation. Gamecube did poorer in sales than N64 and Dreamcast better than Saturn (because it was high res 3D instead of 2D powerhouse like Saturn) while nobody bought DC because of the SEGA nameplate (word means sucky to most gamers). With Sega out...MS brings Halo / PGR3 / Forza / some PC developers / DirectX 8 to console industry.


White Knight Story (working title) by Level 5 in Japan looks very promising and will hopefully be out late 2007


I want Dragon Quest 9 from Level 5!

Official PAL PS3 Launch Countdown Until March 23rd! - 47 Days


I don't see an awesome JRPG in there

PS3 is suppose to be a JRPG goldmine like PS2 was. The fact I haven't seen any besides FFXIII and that is popular because the 3rd largest developer on Earth makes it. (EA does Madden, NASCAR, NBA, NHL, MLB, and Need for Speed | Nintendo does Mario, Zelda, Pokemon | Square-Enix develops for *you guessed it* PS3)

Sony vs. Legend of Zelda


nother stupid article. It should be Wii vs. PS3, but he's doing Zelda to get page hits because TTP is the best selling Wii game. I dunno the point?

"Alien" First Person shooter


I want Alien vs. Star Trek Elite Force (a parody of Alien vs. Predator for PC/Jaguar) Alien board Enterprise E (of the Star Trek TNG) and the ship's force field fail and "Alien" breaches 2/3s of the Enterprise E

Old School Flash Back: Sega Saturn

I'm am really confused what the best Saturn game is, but I know if it's not radiant Silvergun, that I own it! Whether its' Panzer Dragoon Saga or Fighter Megamix or Virtua Fighter 2 (best selling game) or

You see, Randy is coming over tomorrow so there is nothing to post other then I'm getting Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection for PS3 because it's only $20 I originally was going to spend $40 on God of War 2, but I'll withdrawal $25 to pay for God of War 2 later this month.

I would buy an iPod, but sense I'm really clever and found out that LAME 3.97 MPEG2.5 sounds almost exactly like a HE-AAC at 64 kbps doubles the space in each of my aging mp3 players. (just listen to my blog mp3 player) And I barely go outta my room so whats' the point on wasting money something that plays HE-AAC and is smaller, and uses a bit less battery?
