PS3 Fanboy

Another Developer that Claims Blu-ray is a necessity for gaming. any cons with that?

The game isn't a system seller? Speak for yourself!

In all honesty though I think they will pull a SH2/SH3, but that's fine. I just hope they wait longer before releasing the xbox versions this time. SH2's PS2 and Xbox release were what, 2 months apart?

well, I am going to buy this regardless, I hope a few more people will buy this just to keep it an exclusive.

but then again, Sony fanboys aren't as hardcore as that. and THANK GOD for that.

honestly the ps3 probably won't sell enough by the time this comes out to justify exclusivity. On a podcast I listend to (I think it was 1up Yours) they mentioned rumors of rumblings within the industry that if PS3 had 3 consecutive months of 100,000 units sold or less (2/3rds of the way there as of april and I don't think any big releases will push ps3's in May) 3rd party releases would start showing up as defacto 360 exclusives until the ps3 started showing a larger market share.

I love it when Japanese developers bitch slap Xbox 360 fanboys for their underpowered console.

Are people actually shocked that a developer who has mainly produced PS2 titles over the last few years (with some eventually being ported to other platforms) has good things to say about the PS3 to...Dengeki Playstation? Color me shocked.

The article also doesn't really go in-depth as to what the "limitations" he mentions are, so it may boil down to nothing more than a bunch of magnetic platters. He speaks praise for the PS3's ability to install data to the HDD, something which isn't done on the 360 pro (which basically has a temp cache) and cannot be done on the 360 core.

Either way, I agree with the prediction that it'll either be a multi-platform release, or a timed exclusive. There is virtually zero financial benefit, short of a giant wad of cash, for a third-party company like Konami to keep their games exclusive to one platform.

@10 see the thing is because the 360 has a DVD drive it can stream data from the drive faster it uses compression alot....

come on disc 11 ...... 99 gig game with compression what a joke ...

look read what it says ... ok we need this that and this ...... but o yey emmmm it may go multi platform which does not have any of them!
so the games getting made on the PS3 for the PS3 so theres no problem there ...but if it does come to the 360 it will look just as good

Oh goody! More SH news!!! I don't care if the game goes multi platform as long as it's on the PS3 I'll be happy. My god what could they be cooking up for this game!!!!!??!!! I hope they have a snipit of something to show at E3, anything!!!!! I need my Silent Hill fix!!!!

News alert:

Majority of 360 owners don't care much for the VERY overrated FF series.

Otherwise they would have bought a PS3 no? Silly fanboys...

I'll buy this game just because of these comments. I want this to be PS3 exclusive. Everyone says there should be no exclusives, but that is stupid because it only hurts the PS3 and not the 360. PS3 can match anything developers do on 360 first but the other way around is not true. So if there are no exclusives, the power of the PS3 will go untapped. Thats how I see it anyway as of lately. I might be wrong, but I really want to see what the PS3 can do.

Oh and while I have no interest in getting a Wii and Wii specific SH game would definitely get me to buy one! ^_^

If a developer is saying Blu Ray is necessary for a game type like this, or Metal Gear Solid, it is propaganda. Kojima has released Metal Gear games on multiple discs before, you know. Releasing games like Silent Hill on multiple discs is the trivial case. It can be done, and there's nothing to stop you from doing it.

Jaffe himself, a Sony first party dev, said that Blu Ray was a mistake. Anyone hear of God of War?

Once developers figure out how to "unlock the secret power of the PS3" it will just become insanely powerful and obsolete every computer in existence. Or maybe it just has a processor with 1/3rd as much general purpose CPU power as the 360 and several dedicated floating point units (more or less). Sure, it's a monster at floating point performance, but that's not going to be some magic that needs to be unlocked.

The system has less flexible memory than the 360, for example, which is a significant deal. It has more overhead. It doesn't have enough general purpose CPU power. It has less fill rate. There is no magic that can change those things.

There's clever programming, there is realizing more of the potential of a system, and there is brilliant art. These things *will* benefit the PS3 as time goes on, and also will benefit the Xbox 360.

Despite all of the current evidence (games already released) showing the 360 as more capable than the 360 in terms of pure gaming and rendering, we see Sony fanboi constantly clinging to some hope that secretly and way in the future some developers are going to stop being lazy and truly unlock the power of the PS3.

I don't have a 360. I do have a computer science degree, though.

If multi=platform comes up in Japan in a platform centric mag it's probably going to be multi-platform... Silent Hill has never been on just one system anyway... it's at least had a PC counterpart... and if you want to you can say that it's always been released on a Microsoft platform.

I can see why this is a fanboy list... no offense, but the bullet points on this blog post don't really honestly reflect what was said in the interview, with the exception that they do believe blu-ray would be nicer for next gen content (as well as the hdd install feature that Genji uses; I assume this is the hdd streaming tech that has been talked about before).

Anyone with a C.S degree would not have stated that the 360 is able to process A.I better than the 360. Anyone who makes a stupid comment like that either has no programming ability or is a graduate of Oral Roberts University with an emphasis on Oral.

Also, the reason Jaffe stated that Blu-ray was a mistake is because he thinks the cost of the PS3 is too high. It's not because he doesn't appreciate the technology. BTW, he's stated that he's only going to focus on downloadable games from now on, so his opinion on Blu-ray is rather moot.

Why don't you tell us why A.I on the 360 is superior? I'm anxious to hear your comedic response. Can you also answer this question:

Whats the result of:

A B
|8 9 3| |3 6 5|
|7 3 4| x |5 2 9|
|8 2 7| |6 4 7|

What is A x B
What is the determinant of A and B

I hate... so much about the things that you choose to be.

@18 - Anyone who thinks they can throw questions around like you do ought to double check what they type, a la "Anyone with a C.S degree would not have stated that the 360 is able to process A.I better than the 360" see the problem? Oh, and unless my mind fails me, the answer to #1 is

|106 69 50|
|126 97 70|
|132 87 79|

I agree with you, but be less of an ass.
