So much fail I don't even know where to start. First off, the ps3 cell compared to an i7 is apples to oranges. In real world performance, even an old E6600 dual core outclasses the cell. What makes the comparison even more dumb and void is the fact that all things considered CPU + GPU, it wouldn't even matter if the cell was 10 times more powerful than the processor, the pc would still outrun the ps3 even with a subpar dual core and a half decent GPU.
The only cherry picked case ...
I doubt you've seen Crysis played on half decent settings. The fact that you feel Killzone 2 is better shows that. Don't get me wrong. Killzone 2 was amazing for a console game. But the sheer amount and attention to real detail is literally mind boggling in Crysis. There is simply no comparison given the span, scope and size of maps/interactivity in Crysis. It's a no brainer.
Here is a video I captured from my pc. Fraps the capture software literally splits the framerate in half ...
I'd be willing to bet that 90% of the people on here pointlessly bashing Crysis calling it generic/tech demo/boring etc. have never even played the game or given it a chance, We all know the whole "tech demo" excuse to downplay Crysis as a game is lame
If you think the game is boring or generic, More power to you, that's your unique opinion and you're entitled to it, but don't go parading it off as a fact when the majority of the credible gaming community disagrees with y...
let me start off by saying hat's off to Naughty Dog for their unparalleled ability to push the ps3, I must say Uncharted 2 looks better every time with new footage and screens, The animations are also spectacular, I loved the first game and I'm excited that the sequel will be a lot longer, and for the ps3 guys, hey i understand ur frustration that crysis gets mentioned in a ps3 article but the crysis hate here is ludicrous and uncalled for
I'd be willing to bet that 90% of the pe...
You're wrong and misinformed, Just because you don't know jack sh1t about pc games doesn't mean they don't exist,
Crysis isn't the only pc game that looks graphically amazing, pc games don't have hype like console games so unless you're a pc gamer, you won't know or hear of these pc exclusives, Even then, Crysis is far ahead of Killzone 2 and Uncharted, They're not even in the same league so don't try and tell me they're equally impressive

I'm concerned as a potential ps3 owner, I really like the console and I love rooting for the underdog, I personally feel the ps3 doesn't deserve all the flack it is getting and that people should be a little more optimistic about the ps3's future
However, for those you snubbing them and trying to call their bluff, you should know that Activision leaving the ps3 would be a devastating blow, Note how they didn't talk about the ps2, and the CEO is talking about the future in 2010-2011,...
I love how ps3 guys are adamantly painting this whole thing black and white and skirting around the real problem, You can diss the guy or Activision all you want or brag about how ps3 exclusives are so much better and that you won't buy their piece of crap games, it still doesn't change the fact that underneath all the shallow bluffing and unrealistic nature of this CEO's threat, he has a real point about the ps3's weakness/critiques, Most of you need a reality check, No matter how you spin t...
I know the guy is simply bluffing, but be realistic, we're not talking about Sony losing its installbase here, we're talking about slowed growth of the console's installbase, This is not about the present, it's about the future, Notice how he said if they don't drop the price by 2010/2011, he might just have to drop support, he has a point, If you notice for example NPD or even sales across the board from Japan and Europe, ps3 hardware sales has been on a consistent downward spiral for the pa...
sorry you can't compare a pc that has 2 billion functions and features to a console that only plays games and watches movies, So what's your point anyway? last i checked, a ps3 or non-arcade 360 doesn't even cost $200, You're looking at $400 minimum if you want a quality experience with a hard drive for install and online stuff
Even a ps3 cost more than a 360 because of bluray and a few extra features, so no sh1t sherlock, a full fledged computer with Windows Vista is going to co...
it's hilarious to think that there were actually some people who genuinely believed that the ps3 was superior to high end pcs because of cell and bluray or that it could pull off crysis on high settings, I even think this video didn't do enough justice to Cryengine 2, It is truly a technological marvel way ahead of the competition, For a 2007 game and even 2009 console benchmark games like Killzone 2 are still far behind technology wise
Here's me playing in HD that better showcas...

There are also some Crysis mods that might turn into full retail games since some of them are already pitching to publishers. eg. Jurassic Park, Mechwarrior, Stargate etc.
You totally ignore the carry over games that are delayed but still get released in the next year, Those games are not part of the newly announced games the following year but according to your logic they are, Heavenly Sword was meant to be a launch title but was delayed to 2007, Games like MGS4 expected in 2007 but released in 2008, Likewise Killzone 2 was expected in late 2008 and was even demoed for two consecutive years at E3 and Heavy Rain, GT5, WKC, God of War 3 all expected in 2009 but ...
your failure is beyond description, I had no clue that the xbox 360 launched at $199 or that only the arcade model exists and that elite and premium either don't exist or are selling 0 units lol
Also, last i checked, it's all a matter of perspective, the most powerful and popular brand in gaming known as the playstation dominating the gaming scene for more than a decade with two consecutive massive victories over the competition, all that and with over 100 million + potential pla...
i'm not shocked at this, the proof is in the pudding guys, all that sony marketing bullshit is coming back to bite them in the ass, after the lies and deceitful marketing, developers are slowly uncovering the truth that both consoles are just about equal with a few advantages and disadvantages over each other,
While Sony still wants to keep gamers fooled under the notion that the ps3 is so much more powerful than the 360, heck some actually believe it's a full generational leap o...
lol the wii launched already maxed out, it's even funnier that there's already a fully working wii emulator that runs games even far better than the ps2 emulator, goes to show you how the weak the wii is, Just slightly more powerful than ps2 and xbox
I predict 500 comments
you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, I don't even know where to start
First off, the whole ps3 vs i7 is apples to oranges, the cell in the ps3 was designed and optimized to process bluray video, so ladi-f*ckin-dah, it's going to be better than a conventional processor, You don't compare things like that, it's downright illogical, but hey? anything to make the ps3 all mighty and all powerful is down in the book, right? Don't get me wrong, I believe the ps3 is a b...
Imported a copy a while ago for my wii, Grabbed an emulator and played it on my pc, if you can, try it out, It works and plays great, Jaggy free on pc, Best of both worlds, Wii exclusive without the ugly SD, you can get 1080p native without upscaling
Here's some screens I took from the emu 1080p
