Personally, I still wish Sega was making hardware. Oh well.
Best statement you've made all day.
:lol:
Skip a MGS video? You're missing out on all the fun, hell, I sit through all the Codec convos. Hideo is brilliant, but I guess his wit and humour flies over your head.
Of all things, the quality of the games should be the last thing on your mind when talking about the PS3.
Remember, it's going to have the same great developers as the PS2, and look at how many insane franchises were born there. If we were to judge the PS2 at launch, it'd be worse than the Xbox
. And again, how do you know for sure Sony is not going to provide an upgrade path?
It seems that some Xbox 360 owners are feeling a bit insecure about their purchase
. All you have is a machine that's going to be used for PC ports and FPSs. The PS3 trumps it in power, as far as I can tell. That, added to the fact that all the good developers are exclusively making titles for the PS3, will make it a superior console. The X360 can have the FPSs, it does that genre very well. Other REAL games like RPGs and action/adventure games are always going to be better on the PS3.
Well I don't have the problem the xbox 360 owners have as you say. I don't own one. I bought a regular Xbox ages ago and sold it waiting for some good games.
MGS humour doesn't go over my head, it just gets very irritating after a while, and I just want to play. I don't mind a stop in play once in a while for video's but not all the time. Games used to make it a treat for the vids, Konami makes me wish they'd just go away and let me play.
As far as the franchises go... they were born on the ps1/ps2, and are only being continued on the PS3. Where's the original content? While Nintendo is rehashing old franchises, they are atleast inovating the way you play them.
And you keep metioning the trailers on MGS aren't pre-rendered. But rendering a cutscene on the machine compared to playing the game still allows them to mislead the buying public. Look at the cutscenes for FFX on ps2. Those scenes are also rendered on the PS2, but the in game graphics looks nowhere near as good. Same goes with MGS2.
If PS3's graphics look identical in actual game play as the cutscenes shown for MGS4, I will then give props to them. But since everyone else has been showing pre-rendered stuff and MGS only goes further than them in that, it's hard to believe it's NOT pre-rendered. The last comment will only make me being wrong all the better.
Now when will there be a game for the system that will make you need those graphics, not just go "oooh it look purdy"? Someone should make a game that requires the detail you get from an HD system.
As far as upgradability goes...I don't know. I always accepted others point that, the more expensive system has it built in. I guess Sony could just provide an aftermarket cable for the HDMI port, and USB wifi adapters etc... Hopefully anything they make USB that comes on the upmarket model will work like it's built in, not requiring the software makers to support it (cause they won't).
I would love for me to be wrong, and Sony release a bunch of kick ass new innovative games, that use the motion sensors in an innovative way, look as good as the trailer for MGS, and aren't just the same old rehashed shit. I liked my PS2 a lot, and it's got good games, but if the PS3 is merely going to slightly improve old games and add more to the story of the old ones, I have little interest.
MGS4 and GT vision/HD and Assassin's Creed and the sequels don't sell me on the system for $500 let alone $600.
