PS3 - The OLD rumors

[[GCA] BMaN]

Is it me or was people saying that the PS3 would include options to get implants into your hands and other parts of the body to play the games. I forgot where i read this (EGM, IGN?) but i definitely remember it. And it wasn't a joke either, they was really serious. Though the implant thing was scary at first, i think i could dig becoming a counterpart to my gaming machine.

[prime_timer]

that sounds..... odd.

[Sean-AMN]

i think that was a joke from their old ad's for ps5

[Shoxx]

That would be the worst, because so many people would do it. I knew Sony was trying to take over the world.

[[GCA] BMaN]

Im pretty sure it wasn't a joke, they had a huge editorial i remember reading. Maybe it wasn't facts and just "maybe's"

W/E it was it was damn cool

Hellz Yea

[Jaga]

"PS3 IMPLANTS" doesn't sound appropriate lol

[[GCA] BMaN]

Only if you are a dirty minded wanker that thinks about breasts every 10 seconds!

hee hee.....boobages

[ComputerCore]

OMG YOUR SO STUPID BMaN....don't talk about my pokemon again or im telling your mom

[[GCA] BMaN]

That sounds interesting but WAY ahead of our time. Maybe the PS10 or something will do that. I doubt we (people as a whole) are ready for that kind of technology.

sony sucks. they are so messed up. but yeah, i remember this ad from like 6 years ago that advertised for the new sony system in the year 2070 or something, and had a bunch of futuristic stuff. who knows. they cannot possibly be serious about implants though.

Yea i remember that commercial to but i am POSITIVE they were talking about the PS3. It was when the PS2 first came out...damnit I cant remember where i read it from. O well...

O yea and did u guys hear about the Xbox 2 having that growing garden thing? The more games you buy the bigger your garden grows. The GameCube was suppose to have this feature but Shiggy thought it wasn't needed. Seems like a cool idea. Reminds of the little chao thingies in Sonic, watchin em grow and stuff. ::Tear:: I miss those little guys..

[Santo]

Yeah, those PS2 advertisements set in the future featured a mysterious device called the PS9. Weird shit.

[Bkbro429]

huh? what the, PS9?

[GBA]

This is strange.

[Santo]

Yeah, the commercials were futuristic, didn't really (or did they?) have any truth to them. Sony was just projecting the future, starting with PS2 (in their ads).

[Bkbro429]

Oh, ok, so they were tv ads. I was going to say.... lol

[David85]

Well Sony is evil so manybe they won't lieing. :)

[Jaga]

has Sony started there PS3 ads?

[[GCA] BMaN]

No, we are talking about the old PS2 ads when the PS2 first debuted.

But what im saying is that I READ this implant story, I didnt watch that old PS9 commercial and was like OMG! Doesn't matter anyways, i guess no one else read that article besides me -_-

[bill TSM]

I don't ever remember hearing anything about any implants, but I remember how Sony was boasting that the PS3 was going to use "cell" technology which would make it 30 times faster or something rediculous like that. Someone in my college class even mentioned that all PS3 games were going to be cel-shaded. I thought that was pretty funny.

Sony just likes to make hype for themselves.

[[GCA] BMaN]

lol all cel-shaded, good one

Did you then slap him on his head?

I woulda done just that...

[Donnagh]

I remember the load of bollocks that Sony ran when they were running hype for the "Emotion Engine" in the PS2. The bloody official line said that this chip would let a game maker use cirtain frequencies to trigger any emotion in a player, so at a sad point of a game they could just programme "make the player sad now" and presto, you have a crying gamer.

I didn't belive it when they said it, and look who turned out to be right....hey...wait a minute....... maybe all their games are programmed to tell the player "you like your PS2 games, you will buy more of them"..................could explain a thing or two ^_^

[Lovebird]

that's frightening dude...quit it! AHH! STOP!!! NOOO!!! must buy ps2. must buy ps2. must buy ps2. :cool:

[Bkbro429]

I think it got me, becasue I got one for Christmas, and it is almost like the games do have that "emotion" effect.

[Lovebird]

lol...i can't belive sony actually said something like that! that's just so stupid i can't comprehend that perplexity of it all!

[OutlawAdidas]

sony is simply stupid

[Matt]

LOL... screw implants, just have telepathic channels.

[Bkbro429]

Ha ha, what was with this anyway, it is just stupid, like everyone else is saying.

[OutlawAdidas]

I lost track of watever one was saying

[Bkbro429]

Something about Sony and the Emotion Engine in the PS2, in an ad. That it changes how you feel or something, I dont know.

[OutlawAdidas]

I think they put in infrared scanners that lockon you and transmit data through your eyes.

[Bkbro429]

Where did you come up with that, hey, it sounds cool.

[OutlawAdidas]

I made it up...but it sounds like something sony would do just to get sales

[Bkbro429]

Yeah, that would be funny if Sony actually said something like that in their ad.

[OutlawAdidas]

Look at PS2, need to buy more ps2 games. I bet they could sell rocks like that

[Bkbro429]

Its possible, both the PS2 hardware and software are always selling strong.

[OutlawAdidas]

Yea, even though the sony products stuff

[Bkbro429]

What do you mean, Sony products stuff?

[OutlawAdidas]

opps....Sony products suck

[Bkbro429]

Oh ok, lol, PS2 is ok, I like Freqency and Amplitude, other than that, I play my GCN and GBA SP most of the time.

[OutlawAdidas]

Thats good! GC is the best!

[Bkbro429]

Yes it is, good old Nintendo.

[OutlawAdidas]

So do you think Cell is gonna be big? Or the 3 64 bit processors in the Xbox 2?

sorry for taking long to respond!

[Bkbro429]

Not sure, Cell is suppose to be faster then 100 Pentium 4 chips put together (not sure what clock speed, I am guessing 2 GHz at minimum) Also where did you find out about the Xbox 2 specs, can you give a link? And about the long pause before a response, it was ok, I was not even by the computer, lol.

[OutlawAdidas]

yea, here it is http://gamepro.com/microsoft/xbox/hardware/news/33277.shtml

[Bkbro429]

Ok, I will check it out, anything hardware related I am interested.

[OutlawAdidas]

Same here!

[Bkbro429]

I think you gave a wrong link (not sure), it does not show anything about Xbox 2.

[OutlawAdidas]

let me try again!
http://gamepro.com/microsoft/xbox/hardware/news/33277.shtml

[OutlawAdidas]

And if you can't get there still- heres the info.


The Xbox Next will reportedly use three 64-bit processors similar to those used by Apple Computer's G5 PowerMac machines giving it "more computing power than most personal computers." A benefit of switching architectures is the ability to use a wider data path, enabling more information to be processed at once. According to the report, the Xbox Next will use a graphics chip designed by ATI (the original Xbox used a graphics chip designed by nVidia). The new chip is reportedly faster than ATI’s upcoming R400 GPU.

For memory, the Xbox Next is said to have 256MB of RAM, though the console can easily support more. In comparison the current Xbox only has 64MB of RAM. The extra memory can be used for higher resolution textures as well as visual enhancement techniques such as double-buffering and anti-aliasing at HDTV resolutions.

At this point there is no word from Microsoft regarding backwards compatibility. The architecture shift from a x86 CPU to a PowerPC CPU means that the Xbox Next could not run Xbox games natively, however given the relative jump in computing power emulation is a possibility. Microsoft recently acquired Connectix’s Virtual PC technology, so it is entirely feasible that the Xbox Next will simply support Xbox games via emulation.

Unlike Sony's unveiling of its Cell chip, none of these specs are official so nobody can know for sure if the information is legit. Until Microsoft gives the official word, analysts and enthusiasts can only make educated guesses (and wishes).

Stay tuned for more details as they come!

[Bkbro429]

Bingo, thats it, now its time for me to *drool* over the marvelous specs (if they really are, that is....) :)

[OutlawAdidas]

hope you have fun!

[GBA]

Let's hope NINTENDO gets their console out first to beat the crowd.

[OutlawAdidas]

Nintendo has something up their sleeves. They probably have something in the works called, Ninty!

[Bkbro429]

Well those 3 64 bit processors do sound interesting as the Apple G5 uses two processors, and that makes it the 2nd fastest personal computer in the world. Thats why like MS said, it will probably be more powerful then some personal computers.

[OutlawAdidas]

Well, as I said before, I need a new computer, so I'll wait for the Xbox 2

[Bkbro429]

Ha, look at this: Toshiba and Sony are about begin trial production of semiconductor chips that will be the precursor to the Cell chip that is expected to be used in the PlayStation 3. The manufacturing process is more advanced than any in commercial use today, requiring the construction of a new production facility. That was at the bottom of the link you put up, very interesting.

[OutlawAdidas]

yea I know, Sony is spending alot of money, thats a good thing! Cuz When the Cube2 and Xbox 2 take sales away from sony, they won't have enough money to stay open!Mwahaha

[Bkbro429]

Lol, yeah, but I think Cell is going to be cool, and Sony stated that it is going to be used in other future gadgets - like tvs. This just keeps getting better and better.

[OutlawAdidas]

As long as Sony doesn't Dominate the next gen! I'm cool

[Bkbro429]

Yeah, Nintendo has to stay in there also.

[OutlawAdidas]

I hope Namco and Konami andCapcom also Sega fully support the DS, GBE and N5

[Bkbro429]

Yes, IGN reported that Sega has already had development kits for the DS since last year.

[Steve-AMN]

I am sure WAYYYYY more developers have kits for all sorts of Nintendo goodness

[Bkbro429]

Yeah, you are probably right, its just that, IGN reported directly on Sega. (Also I think they said something about EA in it, not sure though).

[Steve-AMN]

I know EA said they are not commenting on the DS (at least what I have heard last)

[Bkbro429]

Same, thats what I ment. I hope they do, because if the DS supports Wireless LAN, then to play sports games from afar would be fun.

[OutlawAdidas]

hmmm! DS and GBA connectivity

[Bkbro429]

Thats a good idea- now that the GBA Wireless Adpater is out in Japan, we could possibly see wireless LAN and connectivity between DS systems and with GBAs also. Very Interesting.

[OutlawAdidas]

DS will be awesome-eth

[Bkbro429]

You just read my mind, I think.

[OutlawAdidas]

LOL! What I can I say-eth! Nintendo knows-eth what its doing -eth

[Bkbro429]

Yes, yes, yes, Nintendo probably does (most of the time).

[OutlawAdidas]

I think-eth that some developer will make-eth the ultimate game for-eth the DS

[Bkbro429]

And what do you think that developer and game are? MS?, nah. (lol).

[OutlawAdidas]

Nope-eth! Probably-eth Atlus, Tactis Orge DS. or Square-Enix-eth. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles DS

[Bkbro429]

FF:CC on DS, it could happen *drool some more*......

[OutlawAdidas]

and if-eth the DS is wire-less, imagine-eth the possibilites. Oh, if Nintendo allowed you to connect-eth the game-eth through a phone line and play online -eth That would be awesome-eth

[Bkbro429]

Like I keep saying, it could happen, it could happen, lets just keep our fingers crossed.

[OutlawAdidas]

Yea, I will! I would love-eth to play online through-eth a handheld. Broandband-eth! *drools-eth*

[Bkbro429]

So would I, now that I have DSL, (for a few months now) imagine the possibilities, and for it to be a multi-media machine also.... :)

[OutlawAdidas]

yea, do you have-eth Internet Explorer?

[Bkbro429]

Yes, IE6 (Windows XP).

[OutlawAdidas]

I have I.E 6 Windows ME, I hated the pop ups that I recieved and how the DSL became slow at sometimes. So I downloaded Netscape...so much better! You don't have to open more than one window to view two different websites. You can open two sites in one window through tabs. Imagine it like a binder that is catergorized by dividers.

[Bkbro429]

yes, but it makes sites like GCA, look messed up, the font and graphics encoding, and since I have SBC Yahoo! DSL, i just got the Yahoo! Companion toolbar, and that stops every pop up i get, and not to get off topic anymore, but look at the avatar/sig. ratings forum really quick, i have a question. And yes, back to the DS- :)

[OutlawAdidas]

Ask away, but Netscape really is good. Back to the DS, its gonna out shine the PSP, but the PSP will have a slow start

[Bkbro429]

Yes, thats what I think, but Sony's line- "Walkman of the 21st Century", its going to be feature packed, thats for sure. I wonder what Nintendo has planned for the DS besides games, if any other features.

[COTTON]

*****?

[OutlawAdidas]

Walkman of the future, wasn't the walkman just a tape player? So basically the PSP is nothing but a tape player but with disks

[Boondock Saint]

no, i'm pretty sure they mean how walkman defined the portable music genre, dummy. even non-sony products are called walkmen by people. that's how popular the brand was.

[prime_timer]

yeah, that would be it. kinda like how gameboy is synonymous with games on the go. if someone sees you playing a portable game system, they'll probally ask 'playing gameboy there?' something along those lines.
