Why so much hate for Sony?

[cleverlymadeup]

ironically though, some developers are now developing for the PS3 as the primary sku because

The Almighty Valve do not.

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.

I just said it because Valve is Jebus in these forums.

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 well

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)

Microsoft gambled on accessibility, which is why the Xbox's PC-type architecure benefitted from so many quick PC game ports.

actually the 360 uses the powerpc chips that apple macs used before their switch to intel chips.

the ports take a bit because they do have to switch architecture but m$ did make some nice tools for that

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.

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 Gabe


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))

How can anyone take them seriously after this!!!

Thanks thats hilarious. Riiidge Racer!

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?

It's ridge racer! Riiidge Racer!! lol.

Technically, the PS3 would only be $400 (about the same as Xbox360 forgot which version) but everyone concentrates on the $600 which still bugs me.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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).

OK well that's a little ridiculous though, just because the majority thinks something is better doesn't mean it actually is. Remember when almost all of Germany thought Hitler was awesome? Popularity of [something] =/= Quality of [something]

GOOOOOOOOOODWIN'S LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!

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.

They get refurbs not new ones.

ummmm quake wars wasn't id, another company made it, the last id game to come out was doom 3

so please don't say they copied, cause frankly everyone copies off of everyone else, especially m$

For Hells Sake, Microsoft did not invent the concept of Unique Play Points. It was around years earlier in the Ratchet and Clank series. MS stole the idea first![/quote]

i know it was in ratchet and clank, i mentioned it earlier, i'm pretty sure another game did it before but r&c was out before the 360 was

ut had the "rampage" type verbal awards but nothing in game really

You make a very good point. After having 3 PS2's fail on me I'm much more careful with my 360 than I ever was with any of my PS2's. I use to play them for hours, days even, also in a very smoky atmosphere, when I was at uni, so it was probably my fault they failed but I was too stoned most of the time to realise or attempt simple maintenance.
