You want hype? You want bullshit promises? You want over promising and under delivering? I give you thr PS2 pre-launch hype machine of Sony.
Several years have passed since the PlayStation 2 launch. Let's look back at some early claims and hype. Several completely ridiculous claims were in a Newsweek article back in March 2000. But the most significant aspect of the PS2 might be its ability to hook into the Internet, making it a "Trojan horse" to bring online gaming, e-commerce, Web browsing, e-mail and downloading of music, software and video into the home.
Woah, dude. It's teh Matrix! Mr. Anderson! "You can communicate to a new cybercity," gushes Ken Kutaragi, the visionary behind the PlayStation. "This will be the ideal home server. Did you see the movie 'The Matrix'? Same interface. Same concept. Starting from next year, you can jack into 'The Matrix'!"
w00t! Toy Story graphics! The secret is the Emotion Engine, a fast, high-powered chip set that is fine-tuned to generate polygons, the building blocks of 3-D graphics. While the original PlayStation could handle a mere 360,000 polygons per second, version 2 can spit out more than 20 million: it's a jump from "South Park" to "Toy Story."
Chang0rz society liek teh printing press! "It's historic, a mass-market appliance that fundamentally changes society in the way the printing press did," says Trip Hawkins, founder of Electronic Arts and CEO of 3DO. "This is a new canvas for humanity that takes us back to our nature." |
Hahaha. I remember the Cell commercial were I was almost under the impression the cell is going to be a sentient being. The feeling it left me with, was: Finally games will evolve to the next level. Now everything will change.
Gotta love this kind of hype its entertaining. Do you have more of those quotes ?
