Re: Critically acclaimed Uncharted 2 will lose out game of the year to Modern Warfare

that was a pretty good vid on the cell processor. God that thing has to be a mother fucker to program for. Even though I can't stand those 3rd person platformers, I have to admit that visually uncharted has some sick looks. Killzone still doesn't impress me though, looks too washed out. Whenever there's a still shot, looks like a painting. FPS's are my nigga's and so far from what i've seen the PS3 hasn't seperated itself from the 360. What's more is that sony is locked into the ps3 for at least another 4-5 years and we'll probably see the 360 successor in 3, "maybe" 2....but I doubt it unless some new manufacturing process if developed that severly cuts cost. Microsoft renewed their contract with AMD/ATI for the next machine, so the move from the 360 to the next machine will be effortless for the companies makeing 360 games now. It's just a better business model even if at the end of the console cycle Sony is getting more power from their machine. I read that sony has resigned themselves to using the same CPU in the next machine because developing a new one is going to cost too much and it gives developers a breather. No one wants to spend 4 years figuring out the cell and just as they do, they're hit with a new one. First smart thing I've heard sony do in a long time.

Yeah they had to stick with it. Now that everyone's getting comfortable with it and it's cost efficient it won't matter as much. Most programmers now admit it's easier than the PS2 ever was, just more time consuming because it's more multi-threaded. The only other thing they could do is go to a CPU like in the 360, but I don't think they've ever done that. I think it's partically an eccentric attitude and partially protecting themselves against piracy. Still though, even though piracy is pretty common on the 360 it's blockbusters are still hands down outselling the PS3 counterparts.

I have a feeling Microsoft will give a sneak peak at their next console at E3 '10. If they get their quality control locked down this time they could have a monster waiting to be let off its leash.

I think that depends on whether ps3 games really start seperating themselves graphically from the 360. If the 360 continues to put out graphics like the new warfare, I don't see them needing to steal any thunder from sony with a sneak at a new system. '10 is just too damn early. And LMAO at getting their quality control down. As far as I'm concerned they're in my shitbox along with sony for the RROD bullshit. Nobody "really" gives a fuck about console size, none of my friends complained about the original xbox. So let your components breathe for christ sake. I'd rather have a slightly larger console that doesn't overheat, but that's just me.

My main beef with Microsoft and Xbox is this-
Bonus Round: Episode 309 - Part 3

Listen to the last couple minutes in part 3 where they answer the user question. Why a PC company would put more lost money/effort into a half-assed console over their bread and butter is beyond me. They could make PC gaming so much more than it currently is. The crazy thing is they still admit that people still buy/play more games for Windows than they ever have for both of their consoles. I think they're going to piss a lot of PC gamers off with that bs.
I'd happily see Sony kick their ass if it meant they'd say, "Ok, watch this." and build the PC platform into a gaming industry giant in every way possible.

I just picked up Uncharted 2, I'm only a couple levels into it but so far it's a really good game.

Ditto. I'm playing it right now.
