PS3 and PS3 games reveiled.

At E3, Sony reveiled the specs and photo's of their upcoming console yesterday. I can only say: whoa. I've the feeling it will be tough for the XBox 360, although that's a great machine as well. One major feature of the PS3 is that it can play any game from the past, the XBox 360 only a subset.

But let's not talk about the past, on a new console, you want to play new games. Ok, before you click on any of those links below, I'd advice you to get some kleenex first. You'll need it (for the drooling of course)

Vision Gran Turismo (PS3)
Final Fantasy XII (PS3)
Killzone 2 (PS3)
Formula 1 (PS3)

    subset?



    So the rumours I've heard that you can load and run *any* XBox Classic game on the XBox360 platform using the rumoured Virtual XBox (based on a heavily modified VPC7 for Mac) application aren't true?

  • WOW.



    I almost decided to buy an XBox 2 when they come out, I think these vids (and the specs) just changed my mind.

  • That's what I read on the various gaming sites: a subset. They said: "top selling xbox games, via an emulator". It might be that will be 'all' games, or it might be that will be '10' or 50. What their problem is is that the GF3 hardware in the current XBox is incompatible with the ATI card in the XBox 2 for the special features in the GF3 that's in the XBox, and for example Halo uses those features a lot. So an emulator has to be written. Though it might be, they can emulate it pretty generically, don't know.

  • I haven't verified this, but one of my friends that has been following PS3 said quite a few devlopers have pulled games that were going to be for Xbox360 and are putting them solely on PS3.



    I love Halo, but I agree with Shannon that the above vids are definitely making me lean more towards PS3. That and Microsoft always finds a way to either make things more costly or have "issues" (such as needing to subscribe to Xbox-Live to get the updates and other downloads).

  • My opinion is, given that both Sony and Nintendo have announced backwards compatibility, the Xbox 360 had better emulate at least 90% of their current library. That is a random number that I completely made up. Nintendo has never had backwards compatibility before. If Microsoft doesn't, they are going to lose a lot of mindshare to Sony and Nintendo. It removes a lot of the reasons for not upgrading to a new console.

  • Was that Renowa I saw in the FF XII trailer?



    The Final Fantasy Trailer made me thinking about buying the PS3 instead of the Xbox 360...

  • Hehehehe, all PS3 minded people here.



    I'm not buying any of the consoles, but if I would, I'd buy an XBox for sure.



    For example, Final Fantasy is going to be XBox only! Forget about the old games, who's going to play them when you've got the new games that look 500% better and can do way, way more in gameplay?



    Everyone can use Live! and if you pay for an account, you can even do much much more.



    You can use your XBox as a small media center, connect the PSP to it! :)



    Seriously, XBox over PS3 any day of the week! :)



    But now I'm going to play my MMORPG on pc. How's that for a console! Ha!

  • @Dennis van de Stelt

    Is Final Fantasy really going to be Xbox only?

  • Both are great consoles, but im gonna wait about three or four months before buying one because

    a)the price will go down a bit and

    b)because it will be clearer which is better, based on what other buyers will say

  • my problem is that i love pc games and all xbox consoles have pc games but i also love ps2 games so its hard because ps3 will have like metal gear solid four and i loved every metal gear game we go way back but i also think that i will wait 4-5 months
