Go look at the tech demos (anyone have a link? I spent 10 mins on Google and found noZING), then come back.. Take a look at Silent Hill 3, Metal Gear Solid 3, Burnout 3, Ace Combat 4 etc.. Its pretty big.  

Obviously you don\'t understand what I\'m trying to say. I don\'t think I\'m capable of explaining it either heh.

Let\'s just leave it.

Mmmm... Despite their efforts i still think some of those screens are just plain bad. Ill wait to gobble up the hype of the REAL tech demos.
Thank you Uni. Took the words out of my mouth. When i first played a playstation it was one of the most amazing things ever. CD formats being massed preduced and knowing that my machine could also play cd\'s and had a kool interface w/o a game even being in the machine. A start up (loading) screen (far different than just the words sega in blue and a computerized voice).

A CG animated into and music to die for. WipeOut came in the koolest box too (still have it btw). The large boxy DVD like cases. The game blew me away. That and RayMan which i had never played on any other console at the time. Back then nobody would dare say that those graphics were bad. You just couldnt.

Those were the days

Pure art

It almost looked like a stylish cover of a techno music CD.

You didnt just play a game.You listened to music with  visuals in which you had control in.

oops double post

Another great game (too bad they screwed the sequels).
You could side step into the backround.Had a free-roaming feel in huge beautifully made backrounds.Sountrack was superb as well (remembers Sofia\'s stage).Imagine.One of the first fighting PS1 games.

And oh my God.The boss\' stage is probably the most impressive thing I ve ever seen on PS1.

I think we are talking about two different demo occasions..
First Sony showed the once you are talking about, the face, the sink with the rubber duck and some other crap.

Later came the skeleton demo I was talking about, which showed “in game” do-able stuff.

BAT i think was good up until 2. 3 killed it for me. I played those games almost religiously. So funny how something that good goes unspoken about so easily. I even bought the BAT anime just because of it. Eiji, Duke, and... damn the blonde sword guy opposite eiji. I used to play w/ them a lot at first. Couldnt really get used to Fo or Gaia.

Also a few othe demos appeared.
One showing different models with clothes to demonstrate the realistic clothing animation
One showing an enviroment on which trees grew
One demosntrating a cathedral if I remember well and birds flew randomly
One displaying a room with different objects.One of the objects was a lantern.Some lighting effects deomsntrated on the glass.
One showing a face with different effects.Something similar to the visual effects featured  on PS1 demo1 disk if you popped in a music cd

Ok fastson. I don\'t remember ever seeing a skeleton demo

They did show a skeleton demo.
Skeletons raised from the ground and there was also a huge dragon skeleton on the plane.A fairy then flew above the skeletons and they broke into pieces

Oh yeah.I miss the shift from 2D to 3D.It was a whole new experience.
Gameplay also felt different.3D controls, physics etc implemented for the first time.And we got superb quality of sound compared to the 16 bit consoles.
Man!I still remember when I poped my first game in my PS1.I was BLOWN AWAY!TOTALLY!!That was Wipeout!!The sound, the music, the graphics, the feel of the game....Damn that was probably my first orgasm

I was waiting to see the same difference from 32 bit to 128.But the difference is nothing compared to back then.
I had high expectations when PS2 was announced.Expected to be blown away.
I was to some extend.But it wasnt enough.

Exactly, the PS2 is a great console... but that 16bit to 32bit jump will be hard to crack again.

Actually it was cracked....from PSX to DC....it was heaven.

In South Africa we never got the DC, because all that rules here is PS1 and PS2 and eventually the GC has now arrived (I mean, for God sakes, we don\'t even have the Xbox here?!!), but I can imagine how nice the jump was to Dreamcast because of the year it happened... by the time the PS2 launched all people were used to the graphics.

btw, those fake PS3 shots are downright fugly!!!! Urrrghhhh!!!

I\'ll probably wait at least 4 months before buying the PS3...I want to avoid all the problematic ones and all of the errors that Sony has a habit on committing during their first shipment.

This always sounds like the smart way of doing things but sometimes its just so damn hard to wait! You are at home playing your dated ps2 while all your friends are blabing 24/7 about how this game or that game rules on the ps3. Id seem so completely left out that i almost feel that its worth my money to get the problematic ones. Not only that but there are actually chances of it lasting. Who knows
