niceee! I think it's pretty hot (H)


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by Maniac on 05-17-2005 at 12:18 AM

I'm sceptical... i guess i have to see a real picture to judge, looks slick but.. i dunno maybe a bit to bulky on the left compared to the right? I'll wait and see how it turns out.

Agreed. I'm sceptical about lots of these concept images for the PS3 and XBox 360.
RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by .blade// on 05-17-2005 at 01:35 AM

There - I posted a real picture now :)


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by Caboose on 05-17-2005 at 02:07 AM

Yeah, I read about this on Gamespot. This looks MUCH better then the Xbox 360... which is kind of concerning for me, since the Xbox is my fave console *-)


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by .blade// on 05-17-2005 at 02:10 AM

They both look prety good IMHO


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by Purity on 05-17-2005 at 02:33 AM

Very ugly!

I would never buy that, even if it had better graphics... :P

Seriouslly that's the stupidest design i've ever seen.


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by Maniac on 05-17-2005 at 02:34 AM

I'd say i dislike it... unless it opens up or something cool (but unlikely :rofl:) ... not my kind of design


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by Caboose on 05-17-2005 at 05:41 AM

You might try the official website :)

And yes, I agree with you on the controller. That's one of the most effed up things I've seen in recent memory... >_>


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by blackjack on 05-17-2005 at 05:44 AM

Maybe you should be able to use the Default (Old) Controllers ^o) :P if i could use that ones probably i would buy it :banana:


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by expert on 05-17-2005 at 05:49 AM

:lol::lol:i think the xbox 360 is going to have really hard competition nice console horible controller

7/10


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by Weyzza on 05-17-2005 at 06:03 AM

The controller might be uncomfortable for sweaty hands, but I like it better than the Xbox one.

RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by Ahmad on 05-17-2005 at 06:09 AM

looks ok.. don't know why they changed the controller though, imo the original ps1/ps2 controller owns any game console controller ever made, it sits perfectly in your hand and every single button is easily accessible


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by Stigmata on 05-17-2005 at 06:19 AM

looks shite...

and the controller even more so :(


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by RaceProUK on 05-17-2005 at 06:20 AM

Where did you get the specs from? I thought PS3 was going to use 4 Cell chips for its CPU.


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by M73A on 05-17-2005 at 06:34 AM

could have been better...... ps2 looks better imo....

the diference between the design of a psx and a ps2 is quite big but the ps2 and the ps3 design is very similar :dodgy:


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by user27089 on 05-17-2005 at 06:50 AM

That's the ugliest thing that I've seen in my life :lol:

It's really not that much better than the xbox 360, it's ugly as hell, has the worst controllers ever.

And I think they've stole the Spiderman style for the name...

Look at the name, and look at this:

RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by um............... on 05-17-2005 at 08:49 AM

i rekon the controllor would be better than the xbox one  but i think i'd buy the nintendo and xbox 360


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by J.J on 05-17-2005 at 09:01 AM

I love the controller <3

I think it looks great :o

But I won't be buying a PS3 unless the AFL game switches to only playstation :tongue:


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by Chestah on 05-17-2005 at 09:46 AM

Xbox > *, i really like the new xbox 360 more then that ugly PS3 :P. I believe that the xbox 360 is a larger leap in techology then the PS3. Just the way its designed also :P

i thaught that too :P
RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by Pyroteq on 05-17-2005 at 12:29 PM

That thing is ugly, bulky and i think i could kill someone with that controller.


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by Maniac on 05-17-2005 at 01:42 PM

The controller is ... UGLY! The HUGE problem with PS1/2 controllers was that no matter how you held them there were empty/flat spaces all over the place and it wasn't confortable... now they make it round to fit the hand better ... ok... but then they make it look like a boomerang... WHY!?


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by -dt- on 05-17-2005 at 01:47 PM

blah the controller is shaped like a boommarang so when someone walks in front of the tv you can throw your controller at them they get out of the way then the controller comes flying back.

hmm but it does look ugly tho...


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by RaceProUK on 05-17-2005 at 02:00 PM

So no-one's going to wait until E3 to see if that's what it's actually like?
I'm reserving judgement till I see pics and specs from official sources (no offense .blade// ;))


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by .blade// on 05-17-2005 at 02:01 PM

1) They didn't steal the Spiderman font - they own the rights to it :P
2) The controllers look ugly but they will be comfy
3) The Xbox 360 and the PS3 both look awesome IMHO.


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by paperless on 05-17-2005 at 02:02 PM

I like the controller design but the console design is ugly and IMO it looks like the Spiderman font.

You people are forgetting Sony is now forbidden to destribute the dualshock dontrollers because of a lawsuit or something..

Anyway i saw graphics of PS3 and.. honestly...its gonna be owned by Xbox this time.

Just some side notes:

What the difference about the controler?? Its just the same and the design can change any time.

BTW you can use PSP to control PS3 as well and over internet too ( i saw this on IGN )

Now i gotta go school.


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by RaceProUK on 05-17-2005 at 02:03 PM

Can I jump in with the
OFFICIAL PS3 ARTICLE ON PLAYSTATION.COM!

Sorry, I'm a little excited...


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by -rafy- on 05-17-2005 at 02:06 PM

hmm i wouldnt buy it.

I dont play games at all really, and if i did it would be on PC


RE: Playstation 3 Revealed! by Pr0xY on 05-18-2005 at 06:12 AM

Well I made a huge thread about the PS3 cause I didn't see that anyone else did, and then Ddunk points out to me on IRC that dodgy blade already made one, which sucks.  (Blade if your gonna make a thread about something, dont just link to another thread (which forces us to go to your forums to read it(dodgy advertising)).

PS3 & PSP Buddy Up

May 16, 2005 - Sony has mentioned in the past that its new handheld and its upcoming console would get along together, but it wasn't until the big unveiling of the PS3 that concrete details have been available on how this will come together.


In its PS3 unveiling, SCE announced that the PlayStation 3 would have support for USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and online networking. Those first two are the biggest concerns for PSP owners, as Sony officially confirmed that the Wi-Fi configuration of the PS3 would allow the PSP to wirelessly connect with the home console. No wires, no connectors, no muss, no fuss. Of course, the PSP also has outlets for the USB 2.0, which might allow for corded connections as well as wireless, if necessary.
PSP won't just be used for wireless file transfers -- according to the official specs for the system, the PSP can be used as a controller for the console. Whether PSP will be used as a PS3 controller much is up to developers -- the GBA and GameCube got along great together, and the PSP obviously has a lot more capable hardware to do interesting things than that duo. Whether PS3 developers enjoy that gimmick of a system with a full-color screen or else decide to stick to the more complicated PS3 controller configuration is a matter we will find out in time.

All games listed below were shown in a demonstration clip by Sony at E3, that were all supposidly "real time".  The pictures look awesome...
  • Tekken -- Namco.

  • Killzone -- Guerilla

  • Vision Gran Turismo -- Polyphony Digital

  • Formula One -- Sony Liverpool

  • Untitled Old West Game -- Rockstar

  • Oh-Ni -- Koei

  • Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam World -- Bandai

  • Devil May Cry 4 -- Capcom

  • Super Gory Wolfenstein Style FPS -- Insomniac

  • Metal Gear Solid 4 -- Konami

  • EYEdentify Voice Recognition Game -- SCEA

  • Fifth Phantom Saga -- Sega

  • Heavenly Sword -- Sony

  • Warhawk -- Incognito

  • Killing Day -- Ubisoft

  • Motor Storm -- Evolution

1080p be supported by the system, but that this is considered the standard resolution for the system. Every game for the system will be in incredible, indelible, indubitable HD.  Thats crazy since most TV's cant even do 1080p.

I can see people swapping that for another, bigger laptop HDD :)

More and more can do hi-def, and as people change their old sets for new ones, the PS3's full graphics power will eventually be available to everyone (that has one).

Well also remember that these consoles have to last 5-6 years, which means a lot of people will have HDTV before the PS4 and XB3 come out.
