A PS3 or a 360?

I wish Sony and microsoft would just team together or something

360 has better controllers and atm, games. But, Gran Turismo is sure to be good enough that it's all I'll play for 6 months at least

I'll have to do some thinking here cos that's the game I want above all others.

i cannot imagine sony releasing a bluray drive for the 360 like, means they have nothing over microsoft then and all the millions they spent to get the film companies on their side would be wasted lol.

Went with the ps3 myself, not really a big gamer but i think its deffo better for its multimedia features. I am canny gutted about the exclusive levels for gta 4 coming out for just the 360 like but rockstar havent stuck true to their word in the past

I've just tanked some cunt 7-1 on Pro Evo.
I love my Xbox.

get a PC, a good one will thrash them both

Got a top notch PC already The racing game situation is dire though! And you can't have a good 2 player session with a PC really.. ie. fighting games like Soul Calibur (new one is coming out soon)

Some facts:

PS3 has mostly shit game, the only good ones are multi platform. (except drake which is canny and maybe 1 or 2 others)

GT is shit, looks great, boring to play, horrendous AI and online.

MGS4 looks good, will prob get it, i was never a massive fan tho was always too much daft story, hopefully it will be wicked though.

360 online is amazing with the hardware, software and community to match.

PS3 u dont even get a mic.

360 has the best batch of games since the SNES.

Gears of War 2 coming Oct/Nov.

PS3 has blueray, which is wicked, aint makin much difference to the games but for movies its wicked.

Basically:

360 is awesome for games and online, PS3 aint. But it should be a slow burner, with Blueray for your movies

I heard a while back that the games for the PS3 currently only use a fraction of the power that the PS3 is capable of. Does this still hold true?

Surely there's a brighter looking future for the PS3.

Also, Gran Turismo isn't out yet so how can it be shit? (Prologue isn't the proper game although I dunno how much it reflects on the final release)

prologue is a mini GT, not a demo. There will be improvements when its realsed but its still zzzzzzzzzz. Great if you like looking at the graphics tho.

On that note, the graphics on GT are wicked, but its not like its anything from the future.

Id love them to be, but i cant see the graphics on PS3 ever beeing more than 25% better than the 360.

How can you use a percentage to compare how good the graphics are lol

lol

Anyone else got an opinion of GT Prologue?

I personally loved the previous games

its good but not great, the lack of modifications, car choice and tracks limits it but its only meant to be a tester of whats to come

i dont think that either console will push much beyond what we are currently seeing, graphically the ps3 has slightly more clarity, but it is claimed that 360 has better colour depth and warmth, other than minor things like that i don't really think we are gonna see much between them.

the fact 360 is cheaper, has a better lineup (both now and on the way) nigh enough matches it, and has a vastly superior online service make it a clear winner for me.

blu ray could be made for 360, as it's 'owned' by a consortium of companies. i still think it's unlikely but the best movie advance i've seen recently is the video store on marketplace, can download HD movies to rent for no more than blockbuster charge without moving, once your times up the DRM knacks the video and thats that. = way forward for video rental

easily

someone said "the ps3 has much more power that hasnt been tapped into yet"

i replied

I can see it being anymore than a 25% max over what it can currently do.

ie

a 25% improvement in power/visuals over what its currently doing.

not hard to understand

your talking absolute bollocks mate, you havent got a clue

absolutely - like most systems they can 'optimise' with time, getting that little bit more and more out of them, but i think you are sorely mistaken if you think they arent pushing the system already, and delusional if you think they can improve by 25%!

like 360 i've played a few games where the framerate stutters due to it just being worked too damn hard.

all they will figure out is how best to get around the systems shortcomings, thats all that ever happens, they figure out how to 'mask' problems so from the player perspective it looks better, but they arent actually getting MORE power out of it?

the reality is, take look at early ps2 games to the last few big ones, the newer ones looks better but not by a huge margin and the same will apply to ps3 / 360.

nar i havent mate have i mate..... :spangled:

so ok then... if i havent got a clue, what is correct? Other than saying i havent got a clue u havent even commented on the actual topic.

I DID say..... a 25% improvement in graphics and performance MAXIMUM. DO u really think the graphics & power can reach up to DOUBLE what they are at now? lol:

I meant MAXIMUM 25%, which sorry to sound patronising but that does mean anywhere from 0 - 25%

Or does Lee think it can go even higher? Oh wait he didnt say......

The PS2 is a good example of how God Of War 2 threw around some good graphics with a solid framerate. It was classed as the pinacle of the PS2's power. But its not like it was a different generation of graphics or anything, not even a half generation improvement. It just performed the PS2's capability.... smoothly and well.

Therefore back to the topic, UP TO......25% MAX is a pretty realistic, and correct statement.

lol I didnt claim to know what I was talking about, I have no opinion on the matter mate, both consoles graphics look exactly the same to me, all I was saying is that it doesnt make sense to use a percentage as a way of measuring graphical power

mate seriously wtf..........

1. Im not using as a way to measure A CONSOLES power. I never said i was.

2. Im using it to represent an improvement in performance over the consoles lifespan. As the original topic started off when someone said... "But supposedly the PS3 only uses so much of its ability at present" U got a better way or doing it?

As i said before, its not that difficult to understand. Did u go to Pennywell comprehensive or something?

ps, if you dont know what you talking about why are u saying other people aint got a clue???!!!

Funniest crack ive heard for a while on this board
