The New Age Of Gaming!!!!

[L1veUndead]

Holy fucking shit. I literally blew the biggest fucking load of nut on myself after looking at all the tight ass shit coming out from the E3 convention. The best of them all though is the PS3 and some of the games coming out for it.

The X-Box360 was unveilled as well, but the PS3 is just pure fucking power compared to the 360.

Images of the PS3:

This is fucking amazing. One of the greatest days of my gaming history.

[XxBlazedxX]

God, that looks so fucking mind blowing. But the only thing I really didnt like was the shape of the remote, looks like that will get annoying VERY fast. Cant they just leave it plain and simple? When PS2 came out, they left the remotes exactly the same, cept for the little joystick thingys. There is a thing as the remote being too small, as the xbox remotes were too big. They will probably make alternate controllers too, at least Im hoping.

[XxBlazedxX]

And something isnt really clear to me.

Will it still be only 2 player, and you have to buy the multitap, or will it be 4 player like xbox and GameCube. They should have took a hint from that and just put a multitap in it they can survive without the extra money from the multitaps.

[Sammie]

we wont see live again for at least 6-18 months

[XxBlazedxX]

I know if I had a PS3, I would turn into a hermit. :badgrin:

[L1veUndead]

I dont think you read the specs for the PS3.

Controller Ports Supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers

[XxBlazedxX]

Eh, I read it 3 times over. Drinking does that, but why 7? Seems like a odd number to have, why not 6 or 8?

Just seems odd.

[L1veUndead]

Who knows.

The only think I know is im buying one, its a power house, and Tekken 6 is going to kick fucking ass.

[XxBlazedxX]

Yea, Tekken has always been a good series. Ill probably end up playing with King like I always do.

I hope they go more indepth into the story lines endings like the did with the whole series.

[Nebula]

yeah, what ever happened to the rectangular controller, with the D pad and A+B?... or better yet... the joystick with one button on the base (Calico Vision) w00t! for oldschool!! :lol:

But that looks very awesome... I heard talk of the new XBOX incorperating the "PPU" (Physics Processing Unit)... but I dont know.. Sylver might know better than I on that.... but that could bring gaming to a whole new level... both console and PC.

[Hooligan]

If I throw that controller will it bring me back a beer?

[sylverarrow]

Hooli, it just might. Good if someone is breaking in, just throw it at their head.

[[KdK]Metalgod]

Well i guess Live will be a hermit for a couple of months now?

[L1veUndead]

Possibly.

My last dissapearance from CS and gaming was when I got my PS2. So who knows. I might dissapear again.
