Halo 2 is my fave game of all time... I'm a very big fps fan and I've played hundreds of em... Halo 2 without a shodow of doubt is easily the best fps ive played.

Anyway... back to topic...

I think it will be very easy to fill a 50 (or if koma is right and by hell I hope he is 100) gb disk...

run up to a wall on Halo and you will see the texture remains extremely detailed. Now imagine Halo 2... with all the bump mapping, but with the better resolution to look great fully zoomed in a sniper rifle...

that stuff would be achievable with 100gb of storage room...

overall I reckon we can expect games that look like movies.

Imagine a game with final fantasy movie quality graphics

oooh yeah

I did not say PS3 would be using the 100gb blu-ray disks.


I simply stated that the technology had proggressed to the point of being able to handle 100gbs of data

One problem with blue ray though.. Tobishima (or whatever), Sony's partner on the next gen disk.. they did not agree what to use, so that might make the blue ray a little harder to produce + make it more expensive..

On another note, Nintendo Revolution might not support HDTVs.. another terrible mistake by the people at Nintendo?

The prices will likley be high no matter what... new technology always is... remember when LCD tv's first came out.. you'd have to re-mortgage your house to afford one...

I'm not gonna buy the console on release, I never have. I always wait for a few months before getting a console... with the ps2 I waited half a year before getting one...

saved me a lot

I got my x box second hand

ehhnyway..

if ninty dont support hdtv.. .as you said, it might be urm a bit of a bad idea...

Prices for the consoles may increase

but the market won't support games costing more then 50 bucks.


THey've been fifty since before the days of Nintendo, and even into today.


They won't increase.

My money's on the PS3, it looks amazing, if those screenshots are real PS3 screenshots and not pre-rendered ones from a rendering farm, I do think one day the graphics technology will make the line between real and rendered fade away...

Funny thing 'bout the XBOX 360, probably everyone already know, sorry, didn't bother to read the full thread...

Pretty much an embarassement to Microsoft IMO, even if purely business, I would not want the competition having to run my new top-notch product !

Perfect Dark Zero looks sh*te and most of the people that know how to make FPS have left.

The cartoonish look of PD0 is a real disappointment.

EDGE magazine, an high quality, extremely elitist, well produced magazine company have said that PS3 was the most impressive for launch.

Normally great games should have crap launch titles and great future titles, ps3 seems to have both.

Oh and mac rules

who cares about the Xbox 360 games being played on 2 G5, its on the contrary pretty flattering to see this, a G5 is pretty powerful and the X360 will have a better graphics card

I dont even think ATI fully finished its graph card yet.. same for Nvidea.. the PS3 screens cant be real YET because they arent run on the actual card..

lol power to the cell

Actually ATI went insane and said their card would pwn nvidea's GPU, because of its construction..

But anyway, it seems that the blu ray deal is dead.. so I wonder what Sony is gonna do now
