QUOTE (DigeratiPrime @ Apr 29 2005, 08:53 AM) Looks like it's been cobbled together in Photoshop from some of the leaked pics and the top of the current XBox. Decent enough job, but not really convincing. Jason |

QUOTE (SiMoNsAyS @ May 12 2005, 02:51 PM) i doubt it will beat ps3... or at least the cell processor lol Hard to say at this point. I've got a buddy who codes for one of the game companies in Irvine, and what he's told me about their PS3 alpha dev kit is that it's "disgustingly complex" to code for, "worse than PS2". He describes PS2 coding as "a miserable experience where nothing works as easy and clean as it should and takes 3-4 times the work that either XBox or Gamecube do". I'm suspecting that "Cell" will be very much like the "Emotion Engine", which is to say lots of hype and bluster with not nearly the promised power delivery. Jason |

@Tokugawapants, that's true, the top of the system is not the same as the final version but again that's the e3 prototype
 @JasonGW, i can't speak in terms of coding but i must say that i love a bunch of titles that came for ps2 and didn't for xbox. i'm not pro-ps2 or against-xbox but thinking on the possibilities of the cell processor i must be on ps3 side

Pretty much anything that had a PS2 version and an XBox version though, the XBox version was better, hands down. I can't think of any exceptions to this rule. As for the Cell, I'm not trusting Sony this time around. Last time they swore the same crap about their so-called "Emotion engine" was "three times more powerful than a Pentium III processor", which of course turned out to be totally bogus as we all saw when XBox hit the scene *with* a Pentium III processor, and smacked the PS2's graphics around like the little b***h they are. I'm reluctant to buy into *any* of the hype right now, *especially* from Sony. They've got a track record of lying about their hardware (observe how they lied about the PS2 being so far beyond Dreamcast, and in fact it was *precisely* in the same league of capability). We'll just have to wait and see. Jason |
