Is the developer Rockstady already equipped with the PS3 Slim?

videogameszone.de writes: "In the current Batman: Arkham Asylum trailer is somewhat veiled at minute 1:36, which suggests so far a not well-known console." Playstation 3 Slim, maybe? Screenshot inside!

That is kinda strange, blurring out what appear to be PS3's in their office.

Trollimite5383d ago

that second one in the backround was silver or white. and it does look smaler than the regular ps3.

talltony5383d ago

they also blurred out a 360 if you look closely.

Blaze9295383d ago (Edited 5383d ago )

even if it was the slim, I don't see why developers would have it as it really doesnt benefit them at all to have. Unless Sony made some revisions to the debug units like Microsoft did by adding extra ram for development, its really useless and a waste of money for Sony to send out new units just becuase its slimmer.

And talltony is right, at 1:35 to the left of that burred black figure is a blurred out white figure as well. Probably just debug PS3/360 kits they think the public arent allowed to see.

phosphor1125383d ago

I mean, the game IS multiplat.

celtics3455383d ago

Phosphor's most likely right guys, Its a sony trailer & their probably blocking the xbox's for that reason. I've seen a trailer(can't remember what for) that had some guys playing a game using the 360 controllers, & they were blurred out.

InFAMOUS15383d ago

They probably don't have the rights to use the name... I see it all the time in tv and such.. Someone drinking a can of pepsi but the can is blurred out.. I highly doubt its a slim

It's obviously a regular PS3 blurred out so they can use the video to show 360 owners. Gosh.

Pika-pie5382d ago

More like PS3 Fat.. that thing looks huge, doubt its a PS3 Slim

G3TDOWN5382d ago (Edited 5382d ago )

even the mice are blurred, the mice could have the DELL logo on them for example

I don't think there was a PS3 slim there

Christopher5382d ago

It's likely that they're custom units of some sort with logos on them that they don't want to advertise. Likely custom skins of some sort.

Giriath5382d ago

Maybe Gabe Newell didn't want anyone to know they actually have PS3s in their office.

Interesting.It might just be a normal PS3 with a dev kit attached

Unicron5383d ago

A PS3 devkit looks nothing like that. They are massive beasts.

Raf1k15383d ago

Could be but wouldn't that make it look bigger?

PirateThom5383d ago

Sony reduced the size of the PS3 dev kits when they cut the price, the "slim" Dev kit is the same as the normal PS3.

Unicron5383d ago

That's technically a test kit. They look like production PS3's. A devkit is about the height of a retail PS3, but a good 3 times longer (front to back).

Eiffel5383d ago

It is a PS3 Devkit. You can see based on the size and detail you can make out from the blur. It's standing upright is all.

If they went through the trouble of blurring it out why not remove it completely during the editing process? Or even yet, cut the scene out altogether?

Perhaps it may have something to do with legalities, perhaps the kit was branded with a sticker or something similar that would require blurring?

Finalfantasykid5383d ago

Ya I thought of that as well. This would be a pretty pathetic way of avoiding a ps3 slim leak, since the blurring will create very obvious rumours and conspiracy theories.

PirateThom5383d ago (Edited 5383d ago )

It could be a PS3 slim... it could just as easily be a box of drugs or a porn stash.

lloyd_wonder5383d ago

Yeah. wtf they blurring dev kits for?

It's good SLI is dead and buried - and my wallet agrees

Kevin writes: "Multi-GPU gaming was one of those things that seemed like a good idea for as long as it lasted. I mean honestly, the idea of a modular approach to graphics upgrades – be that SLI or CrossFire – was brilliant. I repeat, the idea was brilliant."

darthv722d ago

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.

Vits2d ago

I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.

However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.

babadivad1d 7h ago

It really did look amazing.

Wretchedstain1d 15h ago

I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.

shaenoide1d 14h ago

Why ? For the price of two SLI cards you only get one RqtX card now...

OpenGL1d 10h ago

Exactly what I was thinking. When SLI was around an Nvidia flagship card was $700, less than half the price of their current flagship.
