The Sony Ps3...

[Evi]

Seven can answer

I\'m just saying there\'s alot more to account for than simply stacking numbers against each other.

seven\'s more than welcome to explain.

Well, all i know is that having more transistors on a slab of sillicon means more heatproduction and more energy greedy.

I have the impression that the biggest difference between PS3\'s and XBOX360\'s performance will be thanks to PS3\'s Cell processor.

[Evi]

The more transistors you can fit on a chip, the more processing power you can have. The closer they are, the faster they can transfer signals between themselves, which will make the console run faster.

More transistors = more horsepower. But that isn\'t the only factor, but it is a damn important one. Also, the CPU and the GPU need to work well with each other, which Sony described at the Conference, so I don\'t think there\'s a problem there.

I know you can\'t just compare numbers, but things like this are just obvious.

That\'s probably why the thing is so huge...and all that crap they\'re putting under the hood. Plus, it\'s not the final design (hopefully...and if it isn\'t the final design, I hope they make it smaller, because DAMN!).

please please stop with all that combobulated, technical crap,,break that s**t down to my understanding....  ...

both consoles are gonna do great this time around...and i gotta give credit to the box..cause when they first came into the game i thought they wouldn\'t stand a chance against sony or nintendo..and even tho i probably won\'t get a box, even tho i\'m highly impressed with that gear game, the box is here to stay...i\'m still rollin with sony...

Well, it has a way smaller instruction set window and a shorter pipeline than traditional x86 cpu\'s

The 7 spe\'s are like specialists. They\'ll probably suck at any comparable pc desktop task. That\'s why the relatively simple main core is there to \'direct\' those spe\'s.

Rambus\' Xdram should deliver all the bandwidth and speed it needs.

The Nvidia RSX packs a hefty punch as well though with all the provided CG tools for PS3.

I\'m very happy with my Geforce6800GT. It just runs sm3.0 HDR very well. Yeah, after the FX farce, they sure made a comeback.

Plus Cell was specifically designed for multimedia tasks, and gaming is obviously one of them.

I hope so. And that 256MB of VRAM is just nuts compared to PS2\'s...what...4?

Interesting times ahead, glad to see that Sony has the most powerful hardware for a change (first time ever? ) ..
When the "good" developers get their hands on this system I think we will see some magical stuff..

Cant wait for the new Metal Gear and Gran Turismo games. Also I\'d like to see what Team ICO can cook up on this monster (they might not be the best coders in the world but they sure can design wonderful games!), then we have Namco, Capcom, the SCEA divisions -Naughty Dog which should be VERY interesting, they created one of the most amazing graphics engines of this generation!- plus SCEE.. That Getaway demo running of the Cell processor really impressed me.

Good times..

Especially considering that the FF7 demo was even better looking that the CGI intro :eek:
The draw distance and detail is breathtaking.

Yeah FFVII was something special, I just wish Square would release a remake of that game.

Another game that was impressive was Heavenly Sword. SCEE recently bought the rights to that game IIRC..

It was being rendered by the in game engine, here are a few screens.

Btw, where the hell was FFXII during E3? I havent seen much about it yet?

Some people at the GameSpot forums e-mailed Square-Enix and received this e-mail:

Thank you for contacting the Square Enix Customer Support,

We understand your concern about the remake of FFVII. It has not been completely ruled out and there is a good possibility of it being remade.

Thanks,

It could mean something...it could NOT mean something...but it is still interesting, nonetheless. *crosses fingers*

The only thing I saw was the FFXII video they showed at the Sony Conference. It was just FMV sequences, though.

Yeah, its weird.. They had a playable demo of the game in some other show a few months back and now nothing?

Thanks for posting the email, that got my hopes up a bit.
