Hmmm... says a lot in some ways.

 

I got to get some hands on time with the PS3 recently as it's on display in the Baltic in Newcastle. Don't really know what to say apart from it was exactly what I expected it to be. I was playing an F1 game which handled very nicely (not that I've played many of them) and there was a really nice motion blur effect used if not slightly over used. But yeah the system felt like a PS2 with good graphics really. There's not really much to it than that. Oh yeah, you won't be having to miss those loading screens folks... they're back.

How Motorstorm has changed since E3

 

Doesn't bode well for Killzone.

 

Well its a bit unfair because during the sections where there is a first person view, did they not realise you can play the game in a first person view, so technically it looks the same game, the graphics are the same. Overall the same game.

 

As we all know no gamer alive today could play a game which keeps changing view points like that pre rendered stuff

True. But, while people were saying that, Nintendo weren't in such financial trouble. Also: I never heard Financial Analysts saying such things... The most qualified of Nintendo's doommongers are normally just games designers as opposed the financial experts.

 

I, personally, very much doubt this is the last playstation.

No it isn't, there's night and day diference; besides Sony said they were running that on a Cell 2.4 GHz (PS3 has one clocked @ 3.2 GHz) with dual Geforce 6800 GT chips in SLI mode. supposedly inferior setting than the final PS3.

 

Thing is it was all pre-rendered while they were saying that was PS3 graphics. full stop. whether that is possible or not in any current generation console is not the point. The point is they lied and their fans believe in them, that's a very bad attitude towards them, it's also promising more than they can deliver.

 

Heavenly Sword was also shown running with all those characters on-screen (hundreds) what sony forgot to tell is that it was indeed running in PS3 hardware; at 4 frames per second.

 

Newer images of the game have fewer characters on-screen and we've yet to see such large landscapes. The game is next gen, but sony promised way more than that.

 

Above all... Sony is being a victim of their own lies, and I hope it seriously prejudices them, in order for them to never ever do it again.

 

Finally something well done by sony, they must be feeling the pressure:

Gran Turismo HD Now Free Download, GT5 Re-Announced

 

Today, Sony Japan stated that Gran Turismo HD wouldn't exist as a stand-alone game, but rather, as a free download. The game, now called Gran Turismo HD Concept will hit the PlayStation Store December 24th. The reason being? Many elements of it are already incorporated into Gran Turismo 5. When we visited Polyphonic Digital during TGS, series creator Kazunori Yamauchi said that GT HD connected GT4 and GTA5. His exact quote:

 

Gran Turismo HD is the bridge to GT5, there would be no GT5 without this game.

 

In an online statement, Yamauchi says that he and his team have decided to concentrate on Gran Turismo 5 instead and adds that there will be more concept versions hitting the PlayStation Store before GT 5 is released. The release date for that game hasn't yet been announced. Brian Ashcraft

We don't know if the micro-transactions for cars and tracks are still in that plan though.

GT5 will not have microtransactions.

This is a response to backlash from fans who want to play GT in HD but don't want to pay as you go.

As a result it's a concept download for free.

 

On another note Studio Liverpool have been working hard.

I heard only the game itself will be a free download, there was no mention that the cars and tracks would be free too.

Still better than selling it like they did with GT4 Prologue.

 

a lot of people thought it was the full game.
