What does the GPU have to do with the Folding at Home project?

I run F@H on two PC's, and while my P4 2.8 has a GeForce 6100, my AMD 64 has integrated graphics and runs F@H much faster.

I don't own a PS3, I don't think the PS3 is worth $600, and I think the games it has out are pretty poor considering the power of the system, but as far as processor power goes, it should have a pretty decent advantage, barring the PS3's obvious memory liabilities.

Activision said something earlier this week about the PS3 and Wii versions suffering because the memory wasn't versatile enough to do what they wished with the game.

I submitted this news the other day but it wasn't written up.

But the game looks terrible. Amazing control scheme, but terrible graphics.

I own everything on that list except for the Pippin

And it was Apple and Bandai that made that, not Apple alone. It just got branded Apple in the US because they thought it'd sell better.

It didn't.

Some of the pages initially looked grainy, but then I discovered the zoom function, and there are pages designed specifically FOR the Wii.

I don't think I like being called a "demwit" by a dimwit.

It's not $600 worth of console.
Take out the Blu-Ray, and it's worth about $300, if that. The graphics chip is modified old technology. The Cell is a master at math calculations, but not much else. The best the system has to offer is a sub-par racing game and a shooter that has grainy textures in the close ups.

I tried to play Virtua Fighter 5 today. buddy and I bought the game, put the di...

And so much better because it's structured. Don't kid yourself, $50 is a bargain for something that good.

I bought my HDTV because I like to watch HD-DVD movies, Discovery HD theater, and stuff from the Video Marketplace in HD, as well as playing the Wii in widescreen (although it's 480p.

I can't justify the cost of a PS3. I meet the criteria you outlined, but for such an underfeatured system, I just can't justify it.

is simply that the Wii wasn't trying to win.

"Oh you have fantastic bleeding edge graphics and a super math processor? That's nice. We can jump around and have fun."

The reason the 360 is doing better than the PS3 here in America is because the gamers that waited to see what they could do are comparing the systems and seeing no reason to spend $200 extra. Why buy a PS3 when I can get better looking games on a cheaper system?

The reason th...

[QUOTE]GameJunkieJim - i totally 4got about that video..but in my opnion it still looks cartoony..i dont know what your talking about detail as all of that video showed sand and even that didnt look good..masterC did look well designed but the expectations of nextgen and a huge game like this should look much better...and isnt he green?? whats with the yellowish color on him??

That totally goes against the whole idea behind Linux. Mr. Torvalds would retch if he read that.

Since Microsoft locks DLC to the Hard Drive AND the serial of the console, the transferring will require that the console be online whenever I want to play XBLA or watch a TV Show...

I'm pretty pissed at this tactic.

2K is BACK!

I haven't had a good Football fix in a couple years. I refuse to buy Madden.

If you would like, you can look at this video and make your own comparisons to Resistance. I happen to think Halo 3 looks better. A lot better.

That's not to say Resistance looks bad. It looks amazingly good.

But bear in mind that this environment is about 20 times larger than anythi...

for your in depth analysis of a screenshot taken from a low-res, SD internet video with an extra layer of video noise, taken from a beta.

Yes your in depth coverage continues to astound, Mr. One bubble.

How about Kaz?

RIIIIIIIIDGE RACEEERRRRRRRR!

I can't see him being as good for the company as Kutaragi was.
He is enthusiastic though. I gotta give him that. Just a bit goofy.

I'm a WiiTard. And it's the best console I've played in years.
the games are FUN. Not the prettiest. Not the most technically demanding. Bunt they are unadulterated fun. We've had a Wii since launch and we STILL have weekly Wii Bowling tournaments.

And if they could do with Twilight Princess what they did on a launch title, there will be more still to come.

And the trailer alone looks better than Resistance.

You know, all the flamers in here like to say how great Killzone is, but you notice none of them are off playing the first one. Guess where I've been spending most of my time the last couple days. Playing HaloCE and Halo 2. The Gameplay is better than Gears and Resistance. The campaigns are longer than Gears, the AI is better than Resistance.

And these are last gen. Halo 3 is set to continue a winning formula.

Just keep touting how great Killzone 2 will be. Before you've seen so much as a screenshot. You guys did that with Killzone too didn't ya. Didn't help then, ain't gonna happen now. You think you would have learned your lesson. But I guess you have to have something to grab on to.

But the Genesis one was by far the better of the two.

They should have made it similar to world of Warcraft, an MMORPG.

Choose between Human, Elf, Dwarf, Ork, or Troll.
Then a set of skills you can spend your points on.
No archetypes needed, since it would be MMO, people would just play the character as they wished, filling in natural areas in the games economy. Johnsons, Fixers, Mercs, and of course the game would have to have a job system set up. <...

You think Windows is bad? What happens when a company that likes to infect your computer to start with makes an OS?

Yeah, let me just say.. HELL no.
