| your mother said: "I'm not sure why you feel betrayed by Sony that they hyped the graphics of the PS3." I don't feel betrayed. However, what I stated were Sony's words, not mine. They were the ones claiming Pixar-level graphics and 4-D this-and-that that would instill discipline in me. Sorry, but I'm just stating that so far I haven't seen anything close to Pixar-level graphics, there are no disruptions in the time-space continuum emanating from my TV, nor do I feel disciplined (or had to get another job). "It's clear the the cell is very powerful even if it's not showing it's advantage over the 360 yet in games." Who the hell said the cell isn't powerful? "Why doesn't microsoft do folding@home?" Perhaps you should ask Microsoft? As much as I'd like to claim possession of Mr William H Gates' personal fortune or Steve Ballmer's mega-yacht, I'm not them; but if you want, PM me and I can give you Stevie's email - just don't tell him that your mother gave it to you! "Why aren't they building supercomputer simulators?" Good question - maybe you should visit Redmond (1 Microsoft Rd, I believe it is) and ask him? "Anyway, the graphics will show but if you want to argue about viral marketing, overhype, and even insulting the other companies I don't think any of the 3 companies are innocent" Nope, but neither has any of the three garnered anywhere near the amount of online hate that Sony has been able to singlehandedly muster. |
Ugh...just when I'd almost forgotten about you.
It is Sony's job to hype a system. I think there are already games for both HD systems that show Toy Story graphics or better. That's pixar. There was some game screens probably on this site somewhere that showed Toy Story versus some game that looked better. It might have been FF13, but I'm not sure. 4-D? Ugh...does that include time or are you trying to say they really thought that more than 3-dimensional games were going to appear? Come on.
I just don't know why that upsets you. Microsoft has claimed a lot of things as well. I'm not bothered that Sony hypes their system.
As far as online hate, I'm not sure what you are trying to prove here. I definitely agree that some people are unreasonably against Sony, but I'm pretty sure it's not because they tried to hype their system. If it is, then great, I'm sorry people are upset. I'd be more upset with the ripoff that Microsoft is trying to pull with their add-ons, online, and Elite (especially for current owners). But whatever, everyone has their likes and dislikes.
Sony may exagerate, but they clearly do have the most powerful system that is worth $800 or so wholesale, and have had very few problems thus far with the hard drive. They have honestly built the most reliable high-tech console in a very long time if not ever. The games are definitely coming. Elder Scrolls got a nice graphical increase for the PS3 version (and much faster load times), Lair (which is what this topic is about) looks great to me, but there will be games that look better than both so I think you should just have some patience.
