i was kinda skeptical of this game by seeing the pics but actually hearing how they are using the 7 processors to run all these programs is vvery interesting....and actually the graphics in this game are good seeing it in motion shows alot more its weird...the water effects are amazing i think...the director said this game can only be done on the ps3....tis game is only 30% done but it looks very promising...and it looks like very good gameplay.

[speed]

with all the issues Sony is having to deal with now it might be 2008 before we get a chance to play it...

[Nic]

This will be one of first games on PS3

[ps3willrule]

lol i wish every launch title had development movies like this..expecially resistance for of man that game sounds intense..but staying on subject maybe this game won't have the best graphics but they are good nothing like mgs4 but in all honesty i rather have sweet gameplay then a pretty game.

[ps3willrule]

fall of man** sry wakin up lol

That game looks good, but not ready. There's some graphical things and AI that are not quite there yet. Still, how complex AI can you have with hundreds of characters? Not my kind of game but I'm interested what it offers when it's ready.
Those vids was nice, showing other action than just flying.

it won't be the best game ever, it's a launch title but it should be solid for you ps3 fans

Sony has just postponed the launch of its Blu-ray players again, which prompts the question: Is Sony really going to get the PlayStation 3 out this year, even in Japan, and if so, what sort of specificaiton will it have? There seem to be few or no real facts around, but there are plenty of negative rumours.

Over at Kotaku.com, for example, their "Phantom Insider" points out that "Fully functional PS3 betas still do not exist" and suggests the specification will be downgraded again. Either you can't get enough Cell processors at the promised speed or the machine still runs too hot: "The current designs despite having vents all over the place apparently still cant dissipate the heat to sufficient levels", says Kotaku's PI.

The promised compatibility with the PlayStation 2 is also a problem, which Sony is apparently solving by sticking real PS2 chips inside -- at least temporarily.

Since this implies the PS3 hardware design may not really be finished, the obvious solution would be to put it in a bigger box. However, the PlayStation 3 is already the biggest console ever -- even bigger than the original Xbox.

These are just the latest problems in a string of missteps that started with the faked Killzone video shown at last year's E3 games trade show. The result is that Sony's credibility is diminishing fast.

So where did it all go wrong? In my view, Sony has made two big mistakes. The first is the design of the PS3, which seems to be too ambitious for the company to handle.

The whole idea of a games console is that it should be cheap and relatively simple to mass produce -- and cost reduce. That suggests using (mostly) known parts. You can get lots of buyers if your console provides better games than a PC that costs three or four times the price, and that is less hassle to maintain. Trying to produce a console that is ahead of PC technology and costs two or three times as much as a PC to manufacture is insane -- especially since console buyers won't pay an economic price. But that's what Sony is doing.

Sony's second big mistake is strategic, and concerns its use of the Blu-ray disc format.

The PlayStation 2 certainly benefitted from providing buyers with a cheap DVD player as well as a games console. However, the DVD format was agreed in 1995 and the first players went on sale in Japan in 1996. The PlayStation 2 wasn't launched in Japan until March 2000, roughly four years later. By the time most US buyers were shopping for a new games console, DVD was already an attractive and established format.

If Sony intended to repeat this successful strategy, it should have included Blu-ray in the PS4 in 2010-11.

However, with the PS3, Sony is attempting to do the reverse, and pull off a strategy that has never worked. Instead of capitalising on a successful video format, it's trying to use the PS3 to establish what is starting to look like an unsuccessful one.

Look at it this way. The original smash-hit PlayStation was launched in 1995, the same year that the two competing high-density CD camps agreed to back a single format: DVD. What would have happened if Sony had refused to agree a compromise with Toshiba's SD (Super Density) format but decided to use its own system in the PlayStation in 1995 -- and sell it at twice the price?

Would you have bought one? I don't think so....

PlayStation is a huge brand and may well be strong enough to swing it, but there's still a sting in the tail: the more PS3's Sony sells, even at $600, the more money it loses.

It's a safe bet that Microsoft's bean counters have noticed that Sony is financially vulnerable, and I'll be surprised if Sony isn't walking into a price war. And if you have to fight a price war, it's better not to face a company with $38 billion in the bank.

why cant such fanboys like you be calm, its getting boring.

[achira]

i heard some people saying, that they want pay the 40 bucks for XBL because its worth it, yes thats perhaps true. but its also true for the ps3, i want a ps3 and i want to pay for it, ok ?

[TheMART]

Warhawk looks like a dodo

[achira]

[Karibu]

No it doesn't.

a dodo

[Bill Gates]

That's the first thing your mother said after you were born :)

[achira]

this game looks very good. especially the water is incredible realistic.

[sonyISgod]

This game will bring the true next gen feeling to reality. Not like crappy titles from the 360 that only bring out crappy games that have a last gen graphic. WOW, why would anyone buy a 450$ system to play a last gen games? that is just beyond me right there. yah for real man.

[PS360PCROCKS]

A rational thought is beyond you, you freak

[somesonyguy]

Dude, seriously, didn't your mother ever tell you "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all"? I hope I'm not alone in saying that I enjoy a little arguing and competetive banter, but your posts seem like they're just here to suck the intelligence out of anything going on. Listen, if you wanna start a flame war, go do it in the 360 section. I don't wanna be rude, but you're turning into the 360 version of ssj04. Don't be that poster, don't be that poster.

[PS360PCROCKS]

he's just a total moron, I dont know why they cant just ban him forever...no one is that stupid besides him, it's all the same person

[Funky Town_TX]

Fanboys or not this does not look like a $600 game. Sony needs to show me a few $600 games. MGS4 could be that.

[achira]

lol, the game cost 60$ not 600$. but you are right no game is 600 Bucks worth. but it isnt the only game wich will be released on the ps3, but a good one for sure.
