"To show off the PlayStation 3's graphical brawn, Sony showed several game demos, including an Unreal 3 tech demo of what appeared to be Unreal Tournament 2007. In what must come as a relief to developers, Epic Games' Tim Sweeney was on hand to vouch for the PS3, saying it was "easy to program for" and that Epic had received its first PS3 hardware two months ago. He proved the tech demo was real time by showing it again and by manipulating the camera and zooming in.

However, Sweeney's words were only the beginning. Later, Sony trotted out a whole host of publishers that are backing the PlayStation 3. And in the process, it confirmed several games for the console. Hideo Kojima introduced Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4, Capcom showed off Devil May Cry 4, Namco unveiled Tekken 6, Polyphony Digital trotted out Gran Turismo 5, SCEE showed off a brutal section of the next Killzone, and Rockstar Games mentioned that a Grand Theft Auto would be released for the console."

Impressive screens, unimpressive controllers. Are they supposed to double as boomerangs?

looks more impressive than the Xbox IMO, especially in the SS's ive seen with both...


darn cannot wait for nvidia's g70 next gen cards...wish i could be a beta tester for SLI for em to be the first on the block...

still looks ugly... uglier than the x360, and that's not all that pretty either...

THIS IS THE FUTURE OMFG, ITS A STAR SHIP, XBOX GATES WHO? OMFG THIS IS IT THIS IS IT DID YOU SEE THOSE SCREEN SHOTS? I DONT EVEN NEED TO PLAY THE GAMES THOSE SS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. MOST AMAZING EVER EXCEPT FOR GPU, BUT 2 TERAFLOPS COMPARED TO ONE? PS3 = SUPER COMPUTER CONSOLE MEGA GENESIS OMFG AMAZING.


Sorry for caps. Hope it doesnt hurt your ears...

Deffinitly looks pretty impressive today... but by the time it actually ships, its going to hit TOUGH competition on the PC front. The transistor count thing is pretty funny as well... wonder what an Athlon X2 (200mil) + a pair of 6800 Ultras total as far as transistor count! haha.

Looks good, but the Cell is still iffy... the issue with 1 disabled unit shows that the yields are probably fairly low, like many assumed. Hard to say which one (PS3 vs 360) which one will get more market share, but the PS3 does seem to pack a little more power, if the Cell can come through.

Wow, that is amazing can't wait till the Geforce 7 is released now or as it's code name G70:)

If they remade FFVII for PS3, I'd pre-order the damn console and game right now. Seriously.

About the GPU, nvidia have provided fluff... plain and simple.

I can't say the ATI and microsoft have done a better job with the R500

but I still don't see how a 300 million transistor card can do 1.8Tflops of processing

Your 6800 ULTRA is about 222 million transsistors and does ... well i have no idea how much GFlops of processing it does.


Flops is used by marketing folks to fool the general public.
