"Anticipation rating for PS3...."

...mine just went through the roof. I just saw in-game footage of Killzone 2 and it was unbelievable. Get a copy of this months PSW, there are about 10 different titles and the majority of them look brilliant. So now I know there's be plenty of titles I want to play, and that isn't even including GTA, I can't wait for PS3, supposing it is £300.

Eh well, I take it you guys don't yet know who really did the E3 Killzone demo.

It was, in fact, a Scottish company specialising in pre-rendered cut-scenes. They are the same company Sony used to make the cut-sequences for the original Killzone game, I guess that's maybe inside industry information and why I'm a little more privvy to it than others.

That info might be out there on the net, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, the GPU for the PS3 wasn't even in production come E3, nor was the Cell processor, so everything you have seen from the PS3 so far is all a load of simulation and make believe :).

That's where Microsoft went wrong, they went realistic expectations of first generation software, whilst Sony put on a show which couldn't hope to be matched. But then again, it's still a good nine months from release so a lot could happen.

Personally, I think the Xbox 360 looks a more promising game console. Whilst the PS3 will be the expensive powerhouse this time round.


[EDIT] The Scottish company who made the Killzone 2 trailer is called Axis Animation :). Just remembered that :). They do not make real time graphics packages, but cut-scenes.

And everyone knows Sony's show was FMV, even GamerTV, which is usually glued to Sony's ringpiece 365 days a year, made a very big point of stating that Sony's stuff was FMV and NOT REAL.

In-game footage does the business. Microsoft are taking an honest approach so far and that's all they have to do besides getting loads of hype up at the time of release because they've months before the PS3 hits the shelves.

Words and movies versus actual games you can buy and play come november?

No contest.

I'm doubtful about a UK release in November, though. I'd be very surprised...

The Xbox 360 has the games i want, did'nt have an Xbox but would like to play the new Project Gotham as much as i would do Grant Turismo on a new console (got 3 a-spec forget about 4)
The RARE games Kameo and Perfect Dark i had been waiting for on the gamecube and look forward to these.
Pro Evo is on Xbox and will no doubt come out on 360, and Final Fantasy is coming out on Xbox360 now.
Also GTA comes out on Xbox, so all the games i would want a PS3 for are on or will be on Xbox 360, so i'll be getting a 360 to sit next to my Revolution.

To be expected really. Just look at the PS2 when it was unveiled...

o.O

You 100% on that?

well yeah 11 is coming out on 360, so i cant see why they wouldent port 12 or what i'd want (because i can play 12 on ps2) 13 and the next installments on xbox 360.

Yeah except the market's different now and Sony have a competitor with the cash and headstart to make a serious dent. Sony are looking like Nintendo did a few years back as they rigidly refused to change their approach despite new competitors entering the market with a fresher approach.

Two Microsoft consoles released between the release of the PS2 and PS3? If that isn't making Sony worried then they bloody well should be.

Come November, Xbox 360 is MINE. mwhahahaha!

I probably wont get the PS3...well, if I do get it I will have 360 first. Im sure a PSP and XBOX 360 is enough, if I have a PS3, Xbox 360 and PSP i'll never afford games for them.

I will get a PS3 as it should run multi-format games better as it's slightly more powerful and some third-party will make 360-like controllers for it.

At the very least it should have enough exclusives to warrant a purchase.
