Re: PS3 release date and price revealed!
I'm unsure. But, I doubt a developer would consider making a game with a bigger development budget of 21 million. Even a game like FFXIII.
You misunderstood. I'm explaining why a company wouldn't make a game utilizing the PS3 to its full potential. There are just too few PS3s right now , and to make a game like that would be a huge gamble.
Fair enough.
And was probably its biggest blunder. Honestly, how many people care about Blu-Ray? Its BETAMAX's red-headed stepchild. Most people are in agreement that changing formats, again, when DVDs have only been mainstream for about 6 years is ludicrous. You also have to look at the fact that the majority of people don't have HDTVs yet, even fewer have 1080p support, Blu-Ray movies have a very limited library, and are often twice as much money as a DVD.
It's going to be easier to develop for Microsoft until both systems die. The Cell ,combined with the other six processors, is way ahead of its time. Probably a good 8 to 10 years ahead of its time. It probably won't be affordable to produce for the PS3 for at least 5 years.
In essence, the PS3 should have been the PS4. It would have had a lot less problems and would have been much easier to develop for if it had been. They also would have had far less trouble (And it would have been much cheaper) if they had left out the Blu-Ray player. They probably would have less problems with backwards compatibility, too.
I never hated Sony, but my respect for them has gone way down to the point where I severely dislike their business practices. The PS2 was an affordable system that had a built in DVD player and it worked. The only real problem I had with Sony before the PSP was that their hardware was shoddily built. I've owned 4 PS2s in my life. I've owned one Gamecube (That was repaired once) and one Xbox. That's it.
Then the PSP came. It was stupidly fragile for a handheld, was way over priced and tried to re-invent movies with the UMD format. What happened? The DS killed it from a games perspective through ingenuity, the iPod killed its utility as a media device and the UMD format flopped. This only became worse with the PS3 with an outrageous price point, another shameless attempt at shoving down a new media format down our throats, and made it ridiculously difficult to program for.
In essence, that's why I now dislike Sony.
As for it changing anytime soon, what do you think will change it around? Many Europeans are disgruntled that it plays less then half of PS2 games and many stores are barely expecting lines. Not to mention the fact that there simply aren't any blockbusters coming for at least 9 months to get people in Japan and America to buy it. So, you'll have to forgive me when I say that I don't understand what makes you so optimistic.

I will build my own console. It will be called the Brainstation. It will be run on baby urine and kitten blood.
It will sell millions.

Re: PS3 release date and price revealed!
I'm done caring about specs.
I don't care about the potential of seven processors. I don't care about how pretty they can make water look in a game.
All I know is that a) the price is ridiculous and b) Wario Ware, Wii Sports, and Wii Play are more fun than any PlayStation game I've ever played.

FFXIII and White Knight Story look fun, but. . .
Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon on the 360 are much closer to being done, are being created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of the FF and Chrono Trigger series, Nobuo Uematsu, the composer of the FF series, and for Blue Dragon, Akira Toriyama, the creator of DBZ and artist for Chrono Trigger.
In essence, Mistwalker Studio is the new Square and they're creating games for the Microsoft and the Nintendo DS.

I try and play all kinds of RPGs that look interesting to me. My brother owns the 360 in our home, and I don't really buy games for systems I don't own, even if its in my home.

Do you own a PS3. . .?
If not, get a 360 and buy Blue Dragon when it comes out, if you're into Toriyama's style. Otherwise, check out Lost Odyssey and ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat for the DS!

I will, however, look into that DS game. I do own a DS.
No, but I will at some point. For now, I'm happy with my PS2 and Wii.
I don't wanna buy a 360 if there's already one in my home.

Re: PS3 Discussion. Come, join the laughs.
Well, my best advice is to break your rule of not buying games for a system you don't own, so long as your brother lets you play it. Otherwise, you're going to be missing some great games. Mistwalker is, easily, the developer I'm most excited about. The potential to become the next Square is there and with vritually unlimited funding from Microsoft. . .well, I can't imagine.
But, it is refreshing to hear someone is more into the games than the system itself when you talk about the PS3.

Hell, I was planning to do that at one point.
I'll have to see.
Games is what I really care about. Everything else is a bonus. If I could, I'd get all three game systems.But, it is refreshing to hear someone is more into the games than the system itself when you talk about the PS3.
