    Sony has finally come clean about the PS3 demos shown at the E3 show.

    Apparently the amazing graphics that where shown of Killzone were running on PCs using current-generation PC technology. Sony said that Killzone is still going to have amazing graphis but they havent even finished RSX graphics card. Maybe they didnt even start it and pretending that they will have it finished. Their probably just saying all this so people will buy it but you know Sony all full of lies.

    It was already know that there was no final Next gen hardware running games at E3.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭GrumPy


    well least the xbox 360 was running off 3xpower macs that have more or less the exact hardware the 360 has, so it gave a decent idea of what the 360 games will be like, unlike sony, who had videos, that will NEVER BE POSSIBLE and they dont even have the "cell" built, new technology like sonys cell will be hard for game companys to get used to, therefore the graphics will not compeate with xbox360, it'll be xbox1180, and ps6 that MIGHT be able to play games like the kilzone 2 video, anyway, killzone is ****€.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500


    The 360 was running off two G5. Probably running at 2.7Ghz with ATI's most powerful card.
    Toshiba have already started production of the Cell processors and I think so have to.


    Try doing some reading before spouting so much biased bull.

    no bias, just the cell is new technology, and least MS game videos at e3 where running off G5's which have similar power to the 360, u have to admit, the ps3 or xbox 360 WILL NEVER BE ABLE to do what that killzone video shows.

    The gamecube revolution will

    No chance it will :rolleyes:

    The Revolution will be the weakest of the next gen machines.

    And at E3, Microsoft were using an advance cooling technique, this means the 360 will win! Yea!!!...

    that will NEVER BE POSSIBLE
    the ps3 or xbox 360 WILL NEVER BE ABLE to do what that killzone video shows.

    I know the 360 won't. But how are you so sure - if like you claim the hardware is nowhere near up and running – that the PS3 will never be able to do what it shows.

    Is it because you have written it in bold text?
    and they dont even have the "cell" built, new technology like sonys cell will be hard for game companys to get used to, therefore the graphics will not compeate with xbox360,

    That’s like saying Windows 3.1 and it’s respective hardware was easer to program for, therefore the graphics on Windows XP and it’s respective hardware will not compete with 3.1.

    In other words, stop talking ****, if the hardware if far superior even if there’s a steeper learning curve for developers graphics should be better.
    killzone is ****€.

    You've played the new Killzone game? Well done. Do you like playing with rendered videos?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭GrumPy


    did i say killzone2? no you retard, ive played killzone, and it is terrible, the ps2 has no good shooters. even if it wont *cough* the ps3 is a better console it wont have the online, multiplayer games the xbox will, ps2 network play is horrible, and no good games, but i suppose, least it's free.

    You were talking about "killzone 2", and as much as implied that the first game’s quality, or lack of quality in your view, somehow automatically translates into a "bad" second game.
    even if it wont *cough* the ps3 is a better console it wont have the online, multiplayer games the xbox will, ps2 network play is horrible, and no good games, but i suppose, least it's free.

    There you go again, some how you know that the network play will somehow automatically translate from the PS2 to PS3.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭GrumPy


    i dont think anyone would say killzone is a good game, in fact, its a terrible game, but maybe killzone2 will be better, but in my opinion the graphics wont be like the prerendered e3 video.


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 14,111 Mod ✭✭✭✭monument


    Are we back to "that will NEVER BE POSSIBLE"? I'm not saying they will be, but why are you so sure?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭GrumPy


    look at ghost recon 3, sweet graphics from the actual gameplay, now, not nearly as good as killzone2 correct cuase killzone isnt actual gameplay, anyway i dont really care, why? cause killzone is terrible, sony have no good fps, and the controller looks like a twin ended dildo :D im finished now.


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 14,111 Mod ✭✭✭✭monument


    Are you sure you dont work for MS? Because you're running around my questions like one of the people I recently interviewed, so again, on graphics...

    Are we back to "that will NEVER BE POSSIBLE"? I'm not saying they will be, but why are you so sure?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭GrumPy


    never be possible on current, or next gen hardware. you'll see what i mean when u get ur hands on killzone2 if your foolish enough to by it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500

    You sound obtimistic. Try not to judge a game at least till a screenshot of the game comes out. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭GrumPy


    ive seen the e3 videos, and ive played the first killzone. dont assume im jumping to a conclusion.


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 14,111 Mod ✭✭✭✭monument


    never be possible on current, or next gen hardware.

    ONCE MORE... (typing in bold might get across the point you are not answering my question!)... I'm not saying the graphics will be that good, but why are you so sure?

    And why the hell are you talking about "current" ‘generation’?
    you'll see what i mean when u get ur hands on killzone2 if your foolish enough to by it.

    And once more you're judging the game play as well as graphics of a game you have not played. Are have you played it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp

    Irish Grumpy you are on a yellow card for personal abuse (calling Monument a retard) and for being a fanboy. Unless you correct these personal traits you will be banned from the Games heirarchy.

    The above is you confirming that you’re jumping to conclusions, that or you’re grasping at anything you can find to feed your anti-PlayStation frenzy.

    How can you judge one game by watching a video of it and playing another game?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭GrumPy


    your repeating yourslef, ive played killzone, and seen killzone2 videos at e3, now killzone is a teerible, horrible game, 2 will be no differnet as in same game engine prolly online, with better graphics, that how i know itll suck, just cause its a new game dont mean it'll be better, we all know how much h2 sucks in comparion to halo, "no it doesnt, the grpahics are sweet" thats what i think killzone will be like, worse, but with better graphics, and how can i be so sure u keep asking me, BECAUSE IVE PLAYED KILLZONE AND ITS SHlT u cant turn SHlT into a good game. im just using h2 fanboy opionion to show how grpahics arnt the core of a game, the gameplay is, and halo:combat evolved is the best console shooter, it came out at xbox launch, and it still has better graphics then when killzone was relased last year on the ps2.


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 14,111 Mod ✭✭✭✭monument


    So you’re basing this on the apparent fact that follow-up games can never be better? Well that’s bull, two prime examples are the Burnout and GTA lines of games.

    And I’m still repeating my self asking you how you can be so sure that the graphics will “NEVER BE POSSIBLE” on the PS3 because you haven’t answered it. You’ve circled the question, side shifted away from the question but you haven’t answered the question.

    Dear God Monument, why are you toying with this fool? Get in there and finish him off :rolleyes:

    Logic is obviously not your strong point....
    Punctuation neither eh? :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭GrumPy


    im not basing the example on sequels at all, take timesplitters for example, original one sucked. all im saying is if killzone2 is better then halo like sony said pre-release to killzone1 *cough* lies, and the graphics are as good as e3, i will personally paypal you with €50. sonys harware was always questionable, ps2 dvd-drives dying, flimsy controllers, the cell hopefully will not follow suit, i have ps2, and i will have both xbox360 and ps3 when there released, all im saying is that killzone WILL NOT LOOK like it did at e3.

    you think it's logical that sonys hardware has a reputation for dying? "oh ****, my ps2 dvd-drive broke, and my gaurantee is out of date" what to sony do? nothing, u prolly go out and buy another ps2, "****, theres a chance my xbox will go on fire says ms, oh sweet! they said me out a new cable to prevent it from happening even though the chance was very small" thats customer care, sony dont care, they want you to buy a new one, whereas MS realise a large batch of xbox's COULD be damaged and they sort it out. The Cell, the killzone2 video is what sony "hope to be able to achieve" they hoped that there home-made piece a crap dvd-drive will be able to read discs, long enough for the owner to enjoy ps2, so when it does die, the owner will go out and buy another one.

    To sum up:
    It was shown that in fact MS sent out the cable as a stopgap, the power supply connector is the problem AFAIK. So no, thats not a particularly good example.

    Personally I'd rather my PS2 drive burnt out than my house.
