Home after a month

by Anand Lal Shimpi on June 9, 2005 12:18 AM EST
After being away from home for just under a month, Vinney and I are finally back. I couldn't have done the trip without her by my side, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. After E3, Computex and WWDC back to back, I finally get to sleep at home and not in a hotel, which is just plain wonderful.

I'm going to head to bed now, but I should be able to ease back into things starting in the morning.

Goodnight folks.

    regarding #41:
    im anticipating the article from a hardware perspective...we know a lot more about the hardware of the two systems now...we also have some arguments from MS which feels that games are not the CELL's forte...they feel it's good as a streaming processor...we know a bit more about the graphics processors of the two systems...so I guess the analysis this time would be more complete...basically this time it'll be an analysis of MS's claims...let's see how that turns out...

    Wouldnt this be enough for you guys to be convinced that the ps3 is better than the xbox360? he said so himself from a previous blog entry.
    Tell me what you guys think of it:

    #39 Cliff: I definitely agree with you. Posts 36 and 37 both go in favor of OTABEL. I get the feeling that it's OTABEL; he probably got tired about the bashing people gave him.

    I sort of feel sorry for OTABEL. Bye-Bye cry baby...

    Anand,

    I think a login should be required to post here...we can't tell who is posting. The last post seems fake to me, since it was only 10 minutes after the previous post and i have never seen you directly mention someone in a post.

    if you made the xbox360 vs ps3 a premium article you would be filthy rich now im sure:) Because your article will be the definitive one, for me at least, how much will your article be influenced by the fact
    that it will have a large impact on sales of either console.. I mean if the xbox360 was clearly superior , e.g the gpu, would you hesistate to say this in your article,

    What's going on with the attacks on OTABEL??? He's right if you actually think about it, if you actually read what he types.

    I'm just hoping to see that article and I think OTABEL can pressure Anand, is not like he's putting a gun to his head, Anand also needs no help from you, i'm sure he's man enough to defend himself, you make him look bad.

    Please Anand, can you give us an update on the article? What are your first impressions?

    OTABEL, Pinkus777, Furango:

    Hee hee hee: Hi there boys (you can smell the testosterone fuelled teen angst steaming from their fetid bedroom bolt-holes from here!).

    Some coy advice here from the Majorettes Mission for the Furtherment of Teenboy Evolution.

    Debbi says: Have a shower & brush your teeth.

    Susi-bel adds: Don't forget your genitalia. (Susi, they rarely do.)

    Marylou wants you to know: Even etiolated scrawny, grown in the dark geeks like you don't have to frighten the girls if you remember to squash your zits and get mum to buy you baggies to disguise the Belsen chic physique.

    Dr Analgesic says: If you are over the age of 15 please call this helpline immediately - 0 800-lost cause

    “The PS3 does appear to have a huge amount of CPU power with the seven Cell cores. The problem they have is that CPU power isn’t really what developer’s need – the bottleneck is really the graphics."-http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2005/06/10/richard_hu...

    The ATI tech seems to be overlooking the fact that the Cell processor is itself an extremely powerful graphics processor, many of the E3 demos were done exclusively on the cell and Sony initially wanted to go without the RSX and use multiple Cells. The ATI tech is partially right, the Sony PS3 MIGHT be more powerful, but the big question is whether programmers will be able to tame the seven cores.

    The only plus for Sony so far are the positive endorsements from software developers Epic Games (http://biz.gamedaily.com/features.asp?article_id=9... and Factor 5 (http://news.com.com/2100-1043_3-5712174.html)

    My take is that the PS3 may be as easy as the X360 to port/program games to if they are within the same detail range, but taking the PS3 to the level Sony is demonstrating in Fight Night 3 and Killzone 2 will mean a lot of extra programming that many developers may not feel is cost effective. As Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima states in his analogy, the PS3 may be able to serve up a much finer meal than the X360, but it would be a much greater time between such meals.(http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=...

    heh, now we have ati developer relation guy saying 360 is faster better than ps3

    http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2005/06/10/richard_hu...

    all these so called console war is just getting silly... from slightly technical to just about anything that has a sound or a word....

    it'll be parade days for fanboys, annoyances to neutrals and utterly counterproductive to gamers
