http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=32171 Interesting info to say the least. Info coming from a sony slide actually legitimizes the info.

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=32159 <-- RSX info not up to speed as of yet this in a way makes sense why sony avoided listing cell and rsx specs at E3.

That does not sound good.

You end up with a console with half the triangle setup rate of the 360, a crippled CPU that is a bitch to program, and tools that are atrocious compared to the 360. To make matters worse, you have an arrogant set of execs telling us that twice the price is worth it for half the power, a year late. If it isn' t already too late, Sony had better do something about this recto-cranial inversion or it may very well sink the console. µ

Pretty much what everyone' s been saying.
No, worse?

So is SONY...

Say' s the Sony " fanboy" (eugh! i hate that term!)



I think we' ve been here before. In fact, i think i covered ecactly this back in January after recieving emails from developers who had (at the time) official specs from Sony.

RSX, as has been said on one too many occasions, is simply an off the shelf PC card that has been available for a while. Xenos is a next gen GPU and is currently the most advanced available. It wipes the floor with RSX, we already know that.

Sony' s trouble with CELL has also previously been documented, but the CPU' s local memory being virtually redundant sounds a little excessive. 360' s unified architecture is FAR easier to work with and is actually more efficient, but CELL itself does have a calculations advantage. If i was to personally rate the two side by side, i would still go with Xenon.

We' ll see though. If this is 100% correct, they' ll be other reports soon enough, so if anybody spots anything anywhere else, post it here.

You know what they say, WAIT TILL E3!!!

I want to note that the original article was put out by www.theinquirer.net and they have NO relation to The Inquirer (the tabloid that is full of shit).

Joystiq have made an ass of themselves already over the issue by saying that the two are related and that because The Inquirer is basically " entertainment" then it shouldn' t be believed.

www.theinquirer.net is a well known and sourced UK tech site. I' m not saying that the information in the article is official, i' m simply trying to stop anybody else looking as stupid as Cetra with their comments.

You knew it was coming Cetra.

The moment you lay a finger on that keyboard, you have a talent to cause a
" reaction" in most people on this site.

So where ya been?

*Gasps at the Sony t-shirt that says I HEART Kutaragi*

Nice shoes...

Also, we have this " special" branded apple juice we thought you might like..



I have it on good authority that it' s produced by Sony..

No I don' t have a link..

**laughs because he find Tiz' s posts highly amusing**

So where ya been?

Been vomitting and crapping nonstop the last 3 days. I guess I must have seen an Xbox somewhere, they arent hard to spot.

FAIL!

If a fellow passenger on an airplane tells you something, you can bet your life that it is 100% true. That is why I believe this news 100%. I love being gullible.

I love this site!

Ignore the f**cking part about the guy on the plane. The bulk of the article is about Sony' s slides and presentation to developers at GDC where it says that CELL can read at 16MB/s but can write at 4GB/s thus making CELL' s local memory absolutely useless, putting the strain on the main memory (that' s bottlenecked as it is).

It' s not like people were going to buy this pile of junk anyway.

This generation belongs to microsoft and nintendo, long may they reign!

And us long time sega fans will find solice when sce goes bankrupt.

I will personally urinate on kutaragi' s grave.

Tut, tut Cetra, we warned you about Sony' s E3 conference....

You should have listened.

I doubt Sony, Toshiba and IBM would construct a powerful processor, and to make hardware where it would be crippled.
Its just unlikely that a professional hardware manefacturer would cripple its entire hardware on a new meaningful machine. I' m sure there are some facts that are not yet know or thats ignored that keeps the truth from being concluded.

There' s a video over on Jeux France showing a girl playing Warhawk using the motion sensitive pad (i can' t call it Dual Shock anymore because it isn' t) and for the most part it looks awesome.

The game looks better than i had though it would, but seems limiting as far as control goes. You use the left analog stick to do barrel roles instead of twisting the pad right around, but you can' t seem to fly unside down properly. I hope you can turn it off and get proper control over the ship.

It also seems to be slower paced than the demo shown at GDC, and my guess is that it' s been done that way to accomodate the new control method. But does that mean that the way it was shown at E3 is how it will be upon release?! If so, then i would say that the controller actually hinders the game rather than adds anything of value.

Still, i loved the Rogue Squadron games of Gamecube, so this could very well be awesome. Check out the video i' m talking about...

Also, ...who else thinks that because Sony have Warhawk, Microsoft already has Crimson Skies 2 in development?

I' ve seen a video filmed from the side, with a man playing it, and the controller looks completely responsive. He can rotate the plain by its own axis with the left stick, and swing it etc in whatever direction with the gyroscope. So far, it looks far easier to maneuver and even enhanced in areas that would be horrible before - like making an oposite turn.


and lol, that girl sure gave strength to the stereotypical " plays like a girl"
