Answer to common questions about the PS3 - Feb 26, 2006 02:32

(Q): Will Bungie developers bring Halo 3 to the PlayStation 3?


(A): NO! The only time recently there' s been that big a defection was rare being bought by MS. But Rare was not a first party. Bungie is a FIRST PARTY. They are owned by Microsoft. Quit asking of Halo 3 will be on the ps3. Its like asking if Burger King will start selling big Macs


(Q) But I heard a rumor that (insert exclusive title on other platform here) will be on ps3!


(A) Sorry, your neighbor saying his friend heard it is not a credible source. If you' re going to make that type of a thread, AT LEAST have a link. Heresay has no value.


(Q): When will the Sony PlayStation 3 console be released?


(A): The last release announcement was made by Howard Stringer at CEATEC, " The PlayStation 3, due out in Spring, promises to be our biggest breakthrough yet." Japan, U.S., and U.K. launches were not specified.


(Q): Will the PS3 play PSP games?


(A): No. See, Sony wants to make money off the PSP. If you could play PSP games on the ps3, nobody would buy a PSP, and developers would have no idea how strong the fanbase is, and what acceptable development costs are.


(Q): Why is it called " Final Fantasy" if there are eleven installments and continuing?


(A): None of the Final Fantasy games are related to each other and all have different stories. The reason the game was called " Final Fantasy" originally was because Squaresoft was in financial trouble and figured that this would be their last title.


(Q): Will the PlayStation 3 be $500-$600?


(A): NO. Sony' s greedy, but not dumb. Anything over 400, 350 really, will completely flop. Look at the Sega Saturn. If Sony were to ask $500, people would just move to pc gaming. If you' re going to spend that much, you may as well have upgradeable parts. Also, the ps3 is looking like its going to be released in Japan for the US equivalent of about $330. After checking the consumer price index, I found that $300 back in 200 (the year of the ps2' s release), that $300 then is approximately $330 now.


Update: http://games.techwhack.com/268/221124-sony-gives-hints-on-pricing-of-playstation-3/ The official range is between $300 and $400.


(Q): Was the Killzone E3 trailer gameplay and in real-time?


(A): No, it was neither gameplay nor in real-time. Guerilla reported later that the trailer was infact running at 5 FPS and sped up to 60 FPS. The trailer is only to show what Guerilla will try to make in playable form.

(Q): Should PlayStation fans be mad at Sony for being deceitful?


(A): No. Every console goes through stages before its launch. The PlayStation 3 at E3 2005 was in its alpha stage, it did not include the Cell processor nor the RSX " Reality Syntehsizer." Final development kits, stated by Sony, should be available by December including the Cell processor and the RSX.


Also, the games showed at E3 for the X360 were running on G5' s rather than real X360 hardware. All the companies pretty much do it.


(Q): Am I required to purchase an HDTV in order to play the PlayStation 3?


(A): No. You will be able to play the PlayStation 3 on SDTV as well as HDTV. The same can be done with the Xbox 360. However, the ps3 is alleged to have the best HDTV support of any of the next gen consoles, and it is expected that when the government cuts off the analog t.v. signal around 2008 and switches to the digital signal that HDTV prices will fall drastically. Even if you don’t have an HDTV now, you may very well have one at some point during the ps3’s lifecycle, and its good to know that HD features will be fully supported.


(Q): Would it be ok if I went to the XBOX 360 forum and informed them that the XBOX 360 is the suckzorz, while the ps3 ownz it!!!!11111




(A): No. All overt displays of fanboyism outside of the System Wars forum will lead to suspensions.

(Q): What is the word on backward compatibility?


(A): Despite the complications that switching from a self made graphics chip to an Nvidia one poses, Sony is reporting that all but a small handful of ps2 and ps1 games will be playable on the ps3.

(Q): What are the ps3' s specifications?


(A): A full list of ps3 specifications can be found here: http://home.btconnect.com/hgi/ps3/ps3-official.aspx

(Q): What do the ps3 and its controller look like?

(A):There are rumors however that Sony may recant on the controller' s boomerang design. You can still use the old DualShock either way though.

Will Burger King start selling Big Macs?
Who would want to play PSP games on the PS3? The whole idea with the PSP is portability and the PS3 isn' t exactly that. I mean, Nintendo had their GB player for the Gamecube but that didn' t slow down GB sales.

The name " Final Fantasy" came from Sakaguchi who wanted to tell just one story per game,and no sequals...
And that pissed him off with FFX-2.
Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

ORLY, so I guess FF X and FF X2 didn' t relate to eachother. Its bad enough you come here and answer questions no one asked based on things we already know or your opinion. Telling us things on the ps3 is like trying to teach a fireman basic fire safety.

Guys, not only is THIS thread copied from Gamespots forums but all of his other stupid FAQ' s have too. They aren' t HIS opinion OR fact, ...they were originally posted by somebody else and he' s simply copied and pasted them.

Just leave it alone and it' ll die off.
