new era in gameing??

**SilverSifer** · 02-08-2005

hmm i was wondering with ps3 and xbox 2 comming with ps3 new cell processor. How much ahead of current pc games like doom 3 and half life 2 will the grapics be. Is the ps3 supposed to over throw the pc of today. i am a big gamer and i enjoy pc games better than ps2 and xbox games. Because the worlds can be much larger and more immersive but with the ps3 will games like elder scrolls 4 be able to run at best quality on ps3 or xbox2 if so dose that mean that the next gen of consoles will leave pcs behind ??

And Btw here is my esemate on the req for elder scrolls 4
required

2.0gigherz proccessor
512 mb of ddrram
128 mb ati radeon or nvidia grapics card with 2.0 pixel shader

and reccomended
3.0gigherz proccessor
1gigbyte of ram
and 256 vid card with pixel shader 3.0

Uh... No. nVidia 6800 Ultra could barely run UE 3.0 (around 2-5 FPS), what makes you think a petty 128MB Video card with some current gen GPU could run Elder Scrolls 4?

If elder scrolls is running on that card then it can run, ON that card, its not like you need to keep up to date with the latest and greatist in the PC world, it would really [bleep] the consumer off if every single game required the latest graphics card (especially the non-computer litterate consumers) becuase of these cards coming out one after another. any ways back on topic, untill Intel or AMD manage to find a way to get their processors running above 4.0 ghrz (its considerd a mile stone by the manufactures) then i dont think we will see a good graphics on the PC for a while.

PS3 will be better than todays pc. But I blieve pc's will always win the gameing war.
Even though I'm sure the PS3 will give it a run for it's money.

1. the unreal 3.0 engine tech demo vids were running at 25-30FPS
2. clock speed is not a direct measurement of power
3. what’s the CPU got to do with the pc's graphics capabilities?
4. actually consoles have already won and will continue to win the gaming war, console game sales revenue is now around 3.5x that of pc games sales

One day graphics wont be able to get noticably better, as one day within the next few console generations we'll see life like graphics

so wont be abotu graphics itll be about how you play a game :P

More details on GT HD

GT HD and the High Cost of Playing
Is PS3's Gran Turismo going to make you pay to play?
by IGN Staff

September 20, 2006 - According to a post at Beyond3D an interview with Kazunori Yamauchi about the new Gran Turismo on PS3 in the latest issue of Famitsu has more details on microtransactions in the game.

According to the article, shortly after PlayStation 3's launch there will be two versions of the new Gran Turismo HD, both have online multiplayer. Gran Turismo 5 will not arrive until 2008.

Gran Turismo HD: Premium is a GT5 prologue that comes with two courses and 30 cars. Gran Turismo HD: Classic has no cars or courses and is meant to be a platform for the online multiplayer, which according to this report supports up to 20 cars in a race.

Up to 750 cars and 50 tracks will be available for purchase. The cars are reportedly 50 - 100 yen (approx. $0.43 - 0.85) and courses are 200 - 500 yen (approx. $1.71 - 4.26). You will not get cars via in game events, only by purchasing and downloading. Apparently, there are also plans to release limited numbers of downloads for special courses.

IGN contacted Sony who would not comment at this time. Does this mean that to own all the cars and courses in GT HD a PS3 owner would have to drop up $500-845 bucks on Gran Turismo? What if you don't download all the courses, but your friend does? Can you not race on that track unless you buy it? Hopefully, these questions can be answered later this week at Sony's Press Conference from the Tokyo Game Show.
