which is fine since their game engine is underdeveloped to work on bottom end PCs in order to appeal to the mass PC market. their games don't even need the extra CPUs.shatnershaman said:

actually the 360 uses the powerpc chips that apple macs used before their switch to intel chips.BallPtPenTheif said:
the ports take a bit because they do have to switch architecture but m$ did make some nice tools for that
John Carmack has more coding skill in his thumb than Gabe Newell ever will sorry to say, he makes engines that even turned down look great and run wellshatnershaman said:
heck the almight valve had to borrow their engine for their games from the almighty Carmack
Tell it to Yahtzee not me. (P.S the guy has lost his touch then because the quake games have really gone down hill)
that statment you quoted from me is in regards to the original Xbox. the 360's chipset was more difficult to program for but its workflow still followed the logic of PC game design.cleverlymadeup said:
the PS3 architecture is built more like a rendering work station where processing is outsourced to the SPUs
tell that to your hero Gabe cause he was drooling over what the Carmack had done, when nvidia wants to make a new chipset, they talk to John not Gabeshatnershaman said:
also i do believe Yahtzee was rather critical of hl ep2 and tf2, tho he did like portal and portal wasn't developed by valve originally
I don't even like Valve sheesh I'm the Halo guy remember just saying Valve doesn't like the PS3. I don't care what engine hes making Quake Wars still sucks balls. (It seems like a lot of the games are using unreal does id own Epic? (I really don't know I haven't paid attention))cleverlymadeup said:
I think the reason why I can't stop laughing is that very same E3 conference. I don't hate Sony, they're just an endless source of giggles.
Sony: We're taking gaming to the next level! We've overclocked this ***** like you wouldn't believe!
Sony Fanbase: Woooohooo!
Sony: We'll have Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII someday!
Sony Fanbase: Woooooohoooo!
Sony: Our system...get this...you're gonna piss your pants...is only $600!
Sony Fanbase: ...
Guys at the Wii booth, playing WiiSports: Dude, did you hear the PS3 is $600?
Guys at the XBox 360 booth playing HALO: AWRIGHT YEAH MUTHAFUK--Oh damn, did you hear the PS3 is $600?

I don't hate Sony, but their crap customer service was the reason I bought a 360 this generation instead of a PS3. I begrudgingly bought 3 PS2, because they kept getting DRE's & Sony wanted to charge me 3/4 the price of a new one to fix them.
I still miss some of the games that are exclusive to Sony, which is more reason to "hate" them this generation.
This may seem ironic since the 360 is notorious for the RROD, but I can only speak from my experience & my 360 is still working fine, compared to my PS2's which lasted about 6 months before failing.
Also their really pretentious marketing is another reason to dislike them. I could just about handle "The Third Place" but 4D Graphics, WTF?

Yeah, i've heard storys of that before. Usually i just assume it's bad luck, but the last time my PS2 went dead all I had to do was open it up and dust it off and after that it worked like new.Jamash said:
And keep in mind that it's fallen off my table/desk a couple of times before AND had things thrown at it in frustration.
Yea well they said "We don't cut corners" that $400 has no PS2 BC,Memory card readers,a SIXAXIS controller, and no HD cables. The good 60 GB is only on EBAY and its been inflated to $600.Jumplion said:
EDIT: My PS2 broke after 1 year. Bought second one then traded it in 2 years later along with the cube.
And let's also take into consideration that they announced this in front of an extremely large conference of reporters and gamers alike, so when Sony said "It's only $600" as if it were some kind of game-winning dealbreaker, everyone and their grandma heard "The PS3 is $600."Jumplion said:
I personally plan on buying one shortly for about $500, so it's not like the price is any concern of mine; I just wanted to wait until the PS3 had games that would warrant plugging it in.
My 360 only broke once, and that wasn't RRoD. Someone dropped it and when I turned it on the motor on one of the cooling fans died, so it would overheat after brief use. Of course, since I was wise and got Best Buy's 2 year product replacement plan I was able to trade for the newer and better pro model.Jamash said:
So, I'm happy mine broke. You people that get RRoD need to take better care of your 360's. Stand it up and put it in the open, maybe put a fan near it to improve circulation or just keep the room cooler. (I'm surprised those of you who get broken 360's more than once don't hypothesize that you are doing something wrong).
LOL, I didn't even catch myself - still I never saw anything wrong with Nazi analogies, they are good at getting the point across. I always tend to compare military forces to the SS and point out similarities and things like that so I guess I'm a prime example of Godwins Law, unset argument or not.JakubK666 said:
