THE GAMING HARDWARE THREAD: PS4 - WII U - XBone - PS3 - 360 - WII

[hawkingvsreeve]

I spoke to the dev team at our conference. 360 will be the only machine that gets the total GTA4 experience. I still have no idea what they meant, but there will be more stuff on the 360 version, wether in the box or downloadable.

I don't think you need a 50" screen to really enjoy hi-def. I can certainly see the difference on my 40". Sin City looked amazing (and even the shittest sci-fi movies suddenly become watchable - just for the effects)

No, you don't need a 50 in screen to enjoy HD. I've got a 42 in and it looks great. But the difference between 720 and 1080, vis a vis progressive scanning is really only noticable on screens of larger size, like 50 inches and up. Unless you have a Pioneer Elite. Those things are sexy.


I love when I can use vis a vis in a sentance and it works.

He has a blog to promote.

I have no blog to promote my friend - I've told you this before - either you don't listen or you don't read.

What indicates I'm promoting anything?

[C DUB YA]

C DUB YA is wrong about so many things I've lost the urge to correct him.

Oh please - what am I worng about? Enlighten me - oh asshole of the thread.

[suprefan]

Oooh!! And I wanna do this with my Wii(whenever that day comes)

[All That I Am]

C Dub Ya, I already own an xbox 360 and a wii, but I see no reason to pick up a ps3 even though i have the money laying around. There aren't any original games besides Metal Gear that I'd be interested in playing. It seems like everything that was supposed to be ps3 exclusive comes out on 360 too.

[rage patton]

Metal Gear Solid 4 is the ONLY reason I would buy a PS3.

yeah either you buy it for a few exclusive titles (R & C, Heavenly Sword, Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm) and Blu Ray tech - or not at all right now.

BUT - same could be said for the really good exclusives for 360 though (Gears, Halos, Bioshock, PGR)... after those, you have a bigger library, that comes an equal amount of crap.

The PS3 price is right, but if you wait - it will be twice as nice

Drakes, R & C, and Metal Gear are definitely exclusive titles to get it for though, then you'll have Killzone 2 - which might be the killer game of next year.

[sonofhal]

I wanted Unreal Tournament, but it slipped to next year. Haze is pretty fine though.

[C DUB YA]

A ton of titles, on all systems, seem to be slipping to next year.

[C DUB YA]

SWEET JESUS!!!!

I just looked and realized Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is out in a few days!

HOLY CRAP this is going to be effin sweet! Me loves some good ole Indiana Jones/Pitfall/Tomb Raiding type gaming.

Here's your reason to pick up a PS3 this holiday - check it:

Oh please - what am I worng about? Enlighten me - oh asshole of the thread.

[C DUB YA]

might as well go 360 - you can get into it the cheapest still

[C DUB YA]

Yeah - with any new gen system (ESP 360 and PS3) - a new TV is really the only way to go.

[J~$$$]

worng!

[menikmati]

I have rockband coming for PS2....yeah no online/downloadable content...but i'm happy to play along to In Bloom, Maps, Wave of Mutilation and more.

[C DUB YA]

worng!

still waiting asshole...

there is a major drop of in graphics - but considering the actual gameplay - not that big a deal.

[J~$$$]

worng!

[menikmati]

right...I don't play Guitar Hero for the graphics....I don't even watch the animations on screen, I just follow the notes....graphics in those games aren't important. If it was tony hawk game on the other hand, then yeah, I want good graphics (which is why i never picked up the PS2 port of Project 8).....hopefully I'll get a PS3 by next spring....and then can pick up skate, gta4, and await the fall releases of the next guitar based games and tony hawk, madden, etc...

[MissingPerson]

Sony's suicidal marketing of the PS3 - the real official reason for removing the backwards compatibilty really is to try and force sales of PS3 titles over their PS2 counterparts - makes me want to hate them... but... Oooh, Metal Gear and Killzone.

If only there was a Silent Hill for Wii.

[comiddle]

I just played the demo for Uncharted last night. Sleek. I'll be picking that up next week for sure. Cover system similar to Gears of War, the Tomb Raider adventure and a steady flow of cannon fodder.

This is an expensive month(ish) to be a PS3 owner.
Assassin's Creed
Ratchet & Clank
Call of Duty 4
Uncharted

And then there's Rockband if that's your thing.

[theburiedlife]

Has anyone bought Assassins Creed Yet? I've been too busy recycling ranks in prestige(Call of duty 4) to notice.

[Wheres the beef?]

Dreamcast, Turbografx16, 3DO, Commodore 64............please. We all know Intellivision rules the nation.

[PlayaDelWes]

All I know is that I picked up WII Playground last night and it rocks. It might possibly be the best thing ever to come on a metallic disk. It’s like Halo and Sims, but instead of fighting or whatever you do in those games; you throw things at your friends. You can play Dodgeball, race Paper Airplanes and Slot Cars, shoot Freethrows, dribble for points, play some game called “Kick”, Teatherball of course, you can go Bug Catching (oh yea), and even have a Nerf Dartgun fight!!! You collect marbles, you get a stickerbook, you can high-five other kids on the playground, and any kid you beat can come back and dare and double dare you.
