So, I saw this posted in another forum talking about the PS3. I'm not entirely sold that this is all rendered in real time. However, I can definitely say this would give me the "wow" factor that a lot of people say the 360 doesn't deliver. What say the game lovers here?

(Be warned, the file to download is 300 something megs. )
 
it's the same idea they were touting at E3, and I don't buy into it. i don't think they will have the game developers buying into that kind of system, and i think if they did it the price would far outweigh the benefits of that caliber real time rendering.

What idea are you talking about?

I really don't see the problem with pre-rendering. As long as the outcome works, I don't care how they do it.

The only reason I would be against pre-rendering is that that is supposed to be in game graphics. If it is prerendered, it is clearly not in game. :)

Seriously, though, if that is in game. Wow.

I've heard the same rumors and speculation (funny that speculation is somehow more reliable..). I don't buy it. I think it may go the $400 route, but even that will surprise me some. Depending on what features they keep, of course.

Because typically pre-rendered graphics means on-rails gameplay. If thats so then we are in for another generation of games similar to the early 90s when no doubt things looked awesome, but the game play was good for only one time play and no real interactive works at all.


I haven't discounted the revolution simply because of the controller and their displacement mapping patent. If they managed a way of pulling it off without a major hit on processor time (which has previously been the case) then they definitely have no problem competeing with the others even on weaker hardware.

I would love for this to be true, but wasn't "real time rendering" promised on the PS2? Weren't they already busted at E3 for showing a bunch of prerendered video and claiming it was real?

Either its going to do what it says and be "Neo-Geo" expensive or they're stretching the truth and it'll be on par with the 360 in cost.

The PS2 followed through on all that was realistically promised. The whole "toy story" quote wasn't even made by Sony or any developers. But the scene showing the dancing from FF8 which was shown in "real time" was easily surpassed by FF10. So, it may take a while, but I see no reason to believe otherwise.

Granted, I'm not completely sold that that was real time.

WTF was up with the ending of that video? "Let me show you what it can do ..." and then the video ends? What crap. Plotline had me hooked though.
