Remember Tekken 6?

This is the picture that wetted the appetite of gamers at last years E3:

The reality?

Shown at last nights conference:

The bottom one looks poor in comparison to the top one, i don't know how u can say the bottom looks better ben_j_davis, look at the detail on the face of the top one

This is the internet, sarcasm is turned on by default.

I can't tell the difference, although i would say that the bottom one looks slightly better.

Second pic looks like PS2 version how embarrasing but we saw little in game (well it did look like it) at conference didnt look like the second picture.

Sarcasm failure ++

omg ps2 tekken eh?, oh wait....

Tommy B · 9 May 2006 at 17:07

Lets get this straight, I used to be against the Xbox, but having seen it in action it isn't that bad.

However, I can't help but think this is going to completely and utterly rip apart the 360. The technical specs are superior in all respects, and the launch titles don't look half bad either. It also supports Blu-Ray, a REAL HD source for films, unlike the 360

Still not as good as my X1900XT though

Tommy B · 9 May 2006 at 17:08

... Although with a year between the two consoles you can't expect the PS3 to be worse than the 360, can you?

wouldn't call it superior! - more unkown quantity!

anyone with info when pre orders will start?

Go take a look at some of the PS3 game footage they showed last night.

http://www.360box.co.uk/e3/tekken.htm

Theres in game, PS3 footage of Tekken 6. Now compare that to Dead or Alive 4.

Eliot · 9 May 2006 at 17:13

Lol i new their 2 screens with 1080p plan would work

, and tbh the graphics are very very similar imo. not worth 200 quid anyway, and im not gonna get started on the pad, i'll be jumped by fanboys

Graphically PS3 is a very step up!

FFXIII and LAIR. HOT.

ben_j_davis said:
But removing the HDMI support from the cheaper version is comercial suicide, i thought the whole reason they have delayed the PS3 so much was to release it along with Blu-ray and HD movies. I people cant get a cheap Blu Ray player then HD-DVD has won the battle.

Its less worse than SKYHD. You certainly dont need it to watch the majority of movies in HD. Its just the protected ones.

Graphically PS3 is a step up from anything so far. Crysis has been beat.

'CHOKE'
WHAT?, you ARE joking right, tekken doesnt even look as good as crysis and you think crysis has been beat by a ps3? i hope this is a sarcasm failure...

It was a rolling video, how is that in game footage?

Still dont see how they have managed to get a game running at maximum detail at about 1900*1200, most dual core, Sli/crossfire PC's would struggle.

Easy...Japanese devco's are massive and better funded than 99% of the western PC devco's.

The teams that work on the GT series number in the hundrerds...they have access to the PS3's inner most secrets and the production values of Japanese artists and programmers is generally higher.

Also you have to remember that PC's never get decent programming in the first place.

The hardware upgrade cycle means that the full potential of an Sli/Crossfire system will never be seen, because the development teams always move on to the next 'big' thing.

Im sure that if the team behind GT were let loose on a X1900/7900 crossfire/SLi system, the results would be astonishing and put most western games to shame.

Your right!

Even I'm being taken in by Sony's marketing hype machine!

Not CGI but I believe using the game engine to run a scripted sequence. But your correct, not actual "person with controller in hand playing game video".

G.O.A.T · 9 May 2006 at 17:34

It's expensive and they are still selling it at a loss. Remember that nVidia are probably charging sony uber money for the RSX as they were pretty desperate for a solution once they realised the Cell woun't cut it as a graphics processor. The blue ray stuff also costs a bomb.

I think I'll pick up a PS2 once the PS3 is released as the price will finally have come down to something I would consider paying for a console.
