That Random Topic: Cabin Fever Edition

Posted 10 May 2008 - 08:34 PM
Earlier today when I was playing Bully: Scholarship Edition he asked if it came out on the 360 and I said yes. He said that it probably performed better on that system due to the harddrive. What with Bully being open-world and all, the Wii does make a lot of noise loading everything off the disk.
But I'm really getting irritated with him thinking he knows all about video games when he really doesn't. His only exposure to modern gaming is from the PS3 for chrissake's.
Anyway, tl;dr?

Tell him to buy the 360 edition of Bully and enjoy the truckloads of glitches.

The amount of RAM a system has dictates how much loading it does. Like Zephyr said, the hard drive is for saving things. You can record something like three matches, up to an hour or more each in Halo 3, but you can only record 3 minutes of a match in Brawl, and only one match at a time. Hard drives have their advantages.
Anyway, usually the first console you play is the one you end up sticking with for the most part. Though if you were brought up with more than one system, you'd probably like both.
Your dad probably likes the PS3 more than the other consoles because it has fancy graphics and more power than it knows what to do with (it can deflect bullets after all).
That's my judgement at least. And he's probably right. CoD5 would probably be better played on a PS3 than a Wii or 360, but if you do online multiplayer a lot, or you're fairly new to gaming/want to try something new, you should go with the 360 or Wii respectively.
I'd probably get CoD5 for the 360 if I had one.

I wouldn't be surprised if the PS3 overtakes the 360 sometime soon. I still hate Sony. They're Japanese capitalists bast@rds that treats their fans like sh!t, but I'd sooner own a PS3 than a 360... I'm just too open minded to deny the fact that the PS3 does indeed have good games, and even better, good games that I want to play.

Yeeeaaahhh....about that. Remember when people were complaining about on of the buttons on the PSP and Sony basically told them all to go **** themselves in the anus?
Yes. GREAT customer service. Nintendo rarely needs to fix things on their consoles (the games on the other hand.....*coughbrawlonlinelagcough*), but when one breaks, it's promplty replaced without a fee (at least to my understanding). As for microsoft, well, at least they don't tell their customers to screw themselves. Other than that, I don't know much about microsoft's customer service.
And regardless of what all the fanboys say, the PS3 IS overpriced. Whether the hardware in it is actually worth four to five hundred bucks doesn't matter. A game console shouldn't be that expensive. It might as well be exclusive to the rich and famous. I'd like to actually be able to afford to buy some games for my console after I buy it.

I'll give that one to you, but if you want your console to have a bunch of crap in it like a movie player, have it your way. Frankly, I don't need Blu-Ray, I have a DVD player, so what if I can have a movie AND special features on the same disk?
I just want to play games, not spend 100 more dollars for a video game console that has extra crap in it.

Sony only won the HD war because Blu-Ray stoes more data on a disc. Most of Hollywood suported it because of that. The PS3 barely had a part in it. Both the PS2 and Xbox played DVD's. Plus, DVD's didn't have much of a competition with VHS being outdated, and completely overshadowed with DVD's superiority.
Quote
Key word there Eugine. Fact is, if they HAD had it cooked up long before the Wii, then why'd it suck giant salty balls when it was released? From what I've read, the motion sensing was too crappy at E3 to have been concieved more than a week or two before the convention was opened to the public.
As for Nintendo being the frontrunner, I doubt we'd still be using cartridges Eugine. You know the origional PlayStation? Well what it was based on was made by Nintendo. Sony and nintendo were working on an optical disc periphrial for the SNES, and then dropped the project. Sony took it and made it into the playstation. So technically speaking, if Nintendo never made the SNES, we wouldn't have PS3's today.
Nintendo made the D-Pad, Sony copied it.
Nintendo made the analog stick, Sony copied it
Nintendo incorperated motion-sensing into a controller, Sony did soon after.
Nintendo started work on an optical disk periphrial, Sony took it and made it into the Playstation.
Nintnedo gave their controllers rumble, Sony did soon after with the dual-shock.
Nintendo is the oldest company in the gameing industry. They were the ones who pioneered it. They came up with literally ALL of the ideas that you see integrated into consoles, aside from Blu-Ray, HD DVD, and multiple core processors.
Sony did not come up with the idea of using optical disks, Nintendo did.
You say Sony did a whole bunch of great stuff for the industry. Name them.
[EDIT]
WD, cartridges are far more expensive to make than optical disks. They also take longer to make. Nowadays, you could probably get an easy 60 gigs into a cart, possibly even 128, but with flash technology where it's at, Blu-Ray would be far more cost effective as far as data storage goes.
However, Flash memory would outperform the optical disks (faster read speeds), and are by far more durable.
In the near future, when Nano-RAM is perfected, I wouldn't be too surprised if cartridges were used again. Though I doubt that any of the big three would use them. I could imagine another company trying to get into the market with nano-ram carts and a system using them though.

The PS3 directly influenced blu-ray's victory. Most MMP companies movies were idential on blu-ray and HD-DVD interms of disk space used (well, when they were released on both formats of course).
The PS3 created a much higher install base, and that's exactly what the movie companies needed, an install base. Anwyay go research it, I'm too lazy to write out the rest.
And I said the PS3 and PS2 pushed the format. It just allowed the format to be cemented into people's home earlier than expected.

Doesn't matter. Blu-Ray holds more data, and Hollywood faps over that fact. The thought of being able to store a whole 3 hour long movie in high-def, WITH extra features, and all on the same disk, well, that's highly appealing to them. HD-DVD holds something like 30 or 40 GB of data. Blu-Ray can hold upwards of 60. As blue/violet laser technology advances, you can expect to see 120GB blu-ray discs.
Of course, blu-ray will become obsolete in about another two or three years when holo-discs come out. One terrabyte of data is a LOT more than blu-ray could ever hope for.

You need to sleep on it to find things innovative that Sony has done? Okay, yeah, you do that. Tell me how it goes. The only point you've made tonight is the Blu-Ray. XP I only care about what they've done in gaming. They make good TVs/stereos/whatever, keep them the hell out of my gaming.

I'm very happy with my 5 disc Sony DVD player, and the DVD/CD drive I have in my computer is from Sony, and hasn't had a single hiccup over the past....4 years? Something like that.
But even though all companies have to care about profit to survive, Sony cares too much. Atari, Sega, Nintendo, all had their share of bad games, but their compitition and failures were healthy for the gaming industry. I have yet to see how any of the competition between the big 3 has been helpfull. The motion sensing in the Wii was designed to cath peoples' interest and sell more consoles than the other two, but it was also to be innovative. Besides that, motion sensing is the only thing really worth mentioning that's been incorporated into gaming in the past few years, and it hasn't been all that impressive. blu-ray has far more to do with movies, audio, and data storage than gaming. Dual layer DVD's will stay for a while in consoles (mostly due to sony's copyright on blu-ray which won't expire for a while), and when they leave, hollographic disks will take their place.
Actually, there is one thing useful that's been the result of competition this generation. Online gaming.

The DVD was actually made by a collaboration of different companies. Sony and Phillips, who were behind the MultiMedia Compact Disc (MMCD), were actually only responsible for makeing the DVD more resistent to damage.
Actually, to be honest, if UDO's weren't so darn expensive, they would've dominated the blu-ray disc. Far more durable, and a speculated 500GB possible storage capacity. Blu-ray is, so far, appearing to only be able to barely squeeze 250GB.

[EDIT] And Eugine, Warner Bros. who does not make videogames in any way, shape, or form, decided who won or lost the format war. They chose to produce only blu-ray discs. If movies aren't going to be released on HD-DVD's, why use them? Thus, HD-DVD lost.

You see guys, you don't argue about current consoles, you argue about early 90's games!
@Eugine: I think even the biggest fanboy will be hardpressed to say that the NES is better than PS2. :P

I don't really want to be dragged into the arguement, but I'd agree. After all the PS1/2 is the main reason that games became mainstream.

The PS3 is poised the pass the 360 soon, and later the Wii, so I'll be laughing at all those haters very soon.

Ujeen, you haven't given any reason as to why Sony is better than M$ and Nintendo, or whatever you were rambling about. All you have said is how many copies the PS1 and PS2 have sold. That's obviously a an act of desperation at this point.
You're the only Sony fanboy that I know :P

I don't care if Sony made gaming mainstream. Actually, I like gaming more if it's NOT mainstream, we wouldn't get dumbed down games like Halo and Nintendo trying to make ****ty games that appeal to everyone.
I think the DS outselling PS2 is relevant. With your logic that means Nintendo > Sony as their Wii has outsold the PS3. So Nintendo is 2x better than Sony.
If Sony's the King of Gaming, I'm going to start the frikkin' French Revolution of gaming. They don't care about gaming, they have done nothing new in the industry.

Maybe that's because Sony really doesn't do anything in gaming, other than release consoles that are copied off of the other consoles?
And if you're right, it's indirectly their fault for making gaming mainstream. Thanks a BUNCH, Sony.

Yes, because Blue-Ray has re-defined the very way we play video games.

Well, they copied rumble in the PS2. Analog sticks in PS1, I don't know if you'd consider that copying or just the basics. Sixaxis uses tilt shortly after Nintendo releases motion controls. The PS button copies the 360's button. PSN vs. Xbox Live... Zeypher might have others.
If you compare that to things original Sony has done, well, there's not much at all.

I still stand by my point that it's all opinion. I dont think Sony are the best, I think Microsoft are. I'm quite happy if people dont agree with me, because they can go play their console, and i'll go play mine. What really grinds my gears is how people like Eugine try to prove their company is better by using 'facts' that supposedly mean something and why said company is better. If you like Sony Eugine, stop feeling the need to defend them. Accept their faults and play the damn console instead of fapping over how great you say it is. Nobody cares if they're 'better' than other companies, because the only people who are going to agree with you are other Sony fanboys. Same goes for M$ fanboys and Ninty fanboys. Those denominations are the only people who agree with each other. It's a vicious cycle of trying to get your point proven.

That includes the still selling PS2. MS and Nintendo are no longer selling Xbox's and GC's, but the PS2 is still selling even in this generation. Of course sony's sales will beat everyone elses if you only include the LAST GENERATION consoles.The Wii is outselling the 360 and PS3 by craploads. The only reason why the PS3 is selling is because MGS4 is comming out, Killzone 2 is in production, and there's an assload of FF fanboys waiting on FFXIII. Notice how all three of those are sequels in some respect, and not origional games. Not saying they;re bad, but they're not origional. Also, they're all supposed to have great graphics. Again, I don't care if they look good, because if the gameplay sucks, I'm turning it into toilet paper.

I do not include the PS3/Wii/360 because it's an ongoing competition. When 2012 comes, we'll see who is the true victor >_<
Like I said, we shall see who will be wrong, and who will be right. I predict the PS3 will win this generation, although not as comfortable as the PS2, but they will win. I predict by the end of this year, or atleast next year, Microsoft will be number 3 despite launching a year ahead.
I predict I will be right, and you all will be wrong.

dear gosh, no one cares what you think about your goddamn console! if you like sony, buy fscking sony products. If you like nintendo, buy nintendo sh!t. If you like xbox, well, you're a douche, but you have a right to be.
You might as well be trying to change someone's religion, console fanboys don't change just because you have facts you dumbasses.
IF YOU STILL FEEL LIKE RANTING LIKE A DOUCHE, DO IT IN THE FSCKING APPROPRIATE TOPIC. This topic may seem like it has no purpose, but it is called "that random topic" so it requires RANDOM.

You're in denial.
The PS3 will have the most sells of the 7th generation...in 2015 when the 8th generation is 3 years old.
POINT IS you're in denial and can't accept the fact that Sony is the suxxor.

You are on some crack for thinking Microsoft is the best thing in gaming. The original XBox had 3, MAX, great exclusives, crazy ammounts of glitches, and was just not a good system. And don't even get me ****nig started on the 360.

I was just stateing how anybody who thinks that the 360 is the best console, or that in Microsoft in general is the best gaming company, is on some serious crack. Both opinion, sales figures, and performance/durabilty/quality prove that Microsoft fails miserably to Sony and Nintendo in the gaming market.
