Still, Fucking hell.
You've got to wonder just how many features will be missing from the basic package. It may turn out to be a false economy.
£400. Fuck.
ETA: And stiffing us an extra £100 on a region free console? Fuck you Sony.
that and the fact there's 2 models, one retard pack and one manpack there's gonna be a lot of confusion. oh and the £400 is for the 'cheap' one which won't feature hdmi, memory card or wifi meaning it's not actually a full blu ray player... it'll output only at standard definition.
and the pad is a dual shock (without the rumble) and a crap interpretation of a wii controller thrown in.
nice one sony, that show last night was easily the worst of any company ever. i look forward to nintendo and microsoft laughing later.
Im looking foward to the new nintendo, its gonna be cheap
:yes:
Thats why I brought an Xbox... nice media centre when chipped!
How do you know its shit? dont be a fan boy.
The fucking trouble they have had making the Cell Chip work puts ALOT of doubt into my mind. Apparently it STILL isn't working properly.
Plus there was that guy who leaked the information out to the press... who has said, basically, it is shit.
By the time it is released at this rate, it'll be out of date. TBH, full credit for Sony for trying the new Technology - if the Cell Chip worked, it'd be bloody amazing. Just... not yet. But at least their work is still useful.
PS4, maybe?
I've read all about that as well. There's no doubt it'll play games better than PS2 but the potential for even better is still there.
*sucks air over teeth*
Depends on the game. Rune, GTA2, Soldier of Fortune, UT 2004 & Farcry are the best multiplayer games I've played. I've had mini lan parties, just 3 or 4 machines, and it was immense.
Saying that, Mario Kart or Bomberman through a projector onto the living room wall.....that was pretty spectacular.
Depends entirely on the games and the equipment available.
I'll wait a year before buying a PS2, after all ive said about getting one, that report has pissed me off IMMENSLY.
Bastard's.
We're just a bunch of walking pounds signs.
[Let us talk in our new language, Money. Money :wave:, Money? . Money! :hyper: etc etc etc]
sociaty will go to shit
Oui.
FPS's + Console? No. ANY GTA game is better multiplayer on the PC. Multi Theft Auto for GTA:SA is immense. Strategy games on PC... just the best.
However - Racing games, Mario Kart (So glad you said that, console legend.) and the Gran Turismo series are better on console, undoubtably. The Multi player on things like that rocks. And PC doesn't do split screen much these days anymore. (I miss that.)
Plus the PC is responsible for the pushing of boundries in games. The technology is driving it forwards on the PC - the poor console only gamers had to wait for PS2 to play Half Life! (By which time it was OLD.) And you don't get HL2. Doom 3 (with terribly destroyed graphics) is on the Xbox.
And... I thought I could keep it out of a gmes post, but I can't - STALKER.
Not sure if that was serious, but, no, I didn't expect it to be cheap. To be honest I think 400 pounds is roughly what I would expect. The PS2 was stupidly expensive when it first came out - most sony stuff is expensive really.
However, the two models, especially with the cheap model being so crippled, is a bit naff for the users, as is the loss of the rumble. Since I remember there was some kind of patent issue over the rumble device I'm not surprised to see it go, but really, replacing it with some lame ass thing that just detects if you tilt the pad is a waste of time.
I'd have loved to have seen the reaction if they only brought out the most expensive pack though...
hahaha, within the first 5 minutes nintendo had nintendowned sony's show. holy fuck i NEED a wii (haha!) :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:
