Looking good so far.

I'd better pre-order one ASAP...

So, with all it's extra celverness, are we going to see a step-up in racing game development? A PS3 GPL would be nice, more cars on-track in GT5 (I know that this is planned), and how about a historic sportscar game?

JAG · 16 Mar 2006, 20:00 (Ref:1550485)

Simbin plan to release sims on next gen consoles, so possibly GTR2, GTL etc.

Also note how they try to be exact opposite to Microsofts Xbox360, by using a Linux OS!

Awww shucks, come 'ere.. °kisses his PSX, PS2, Sony MP3 Player & Sony TV°

It gets a big fat 'meh' from me until Sony actually showcase some playable demos and tell us what games are in development, which probably won't be until E3.

ASCII Man · 17 Mar 2006, 19:00 (Ref:1551351)

How do you expect to play demo's when the PS3 isn't even out yet?
Production hasn't even begun yet...

Silk Cut Jaguar · 18 Mar 2006, 10:21 (Ref:1551732)

So how so you expect the developers are testing the games in production if they can't play their product?

Just because the finalised hardware isn't in production doesn't mean Sony can't showoff playable works in progress. Microsoft and Ninty manage with this just fine. At the very least Sony need to show some ingame footage rather than the headline grabbing pre-rendered stuff of the last year or so.

JAG · 18 Mar 2006, 14:48 (Ref:1551831)

They'll have a big blowout at E3 and show the lot.

Better, IMO, than dribs and drabs.

It's come down in price since the original projections were made.

They were touted to be around £600....that's come down to a far more competitive £250 now, which I guess was necessary to compete with X-Box 360.

I'm worried about these Bluray drive problems they are having.......does this mean my PS3 will break down after two years, like my PS2 did? Hmm...

ASCII Man · 20 Mar 2006, 09:43 (Ref:1553686)

Hmm, deja-vu...

Sodemo · 20 Mar 2006, 12:49 (Ref:1554205)

There is no actual Blu Ray drive problem in terms of hardware for the PS3. The issue they are trying to resolve revolves around the ACC DRM copy protection software which they *have* to implement on the consoles. The Blu Ray drives are having problems working with this software in place.

No doubt the honest consumer will suffer (as always) with these over protective, performance sapping restrictive software measures.

Knowlesy · 20 Mar 2006, 16:51 (Ref:1555029)

Ah, well that clears that up.

It'll still break down somehow though.

Rockmunky · 20 Mar 2006, 18:02 (Ref:1555076)

Probably, i'm on second ps2 since 2002.
Do you think the PS3 will actually be able to either cook food or sweep school carpets?
it looks like a george foreman or those non elctrical hoovers....

Knowlesy · 20 Mar 2006, 18:03 (Ref:1555078)

It's a bread bin, according to unconfirmed reports from Sony Japan.

safc_fan89 · 25 Mar 2006, 10:10 (Ref:1560205)

I hope that the release date/month given stays at that, and that the price of it doesn't get too high

poleaxe · 25 Mar 2006, 23:03 (Ref:1560627)

When Sony was showing their online features the other day, they showed them with their PS3 F1 game:

Looks nice, we should get a better view of it in six weeks time at the E3 show.

Knowlesy · 25 Mar 2006, 23:12 (Ref:1560635)

Looks very nice....much better than that atrocity they showed at the PS3 announcement launch.

Hopefully the ugly bugger in the bottom right corner is optional.

Sodemo · 26 Mar 2006, 12:28 (Ref:1561308)

I guess thats the Monza pit straight.

Knowlesy · 26 Mar 2006, 13:23 (Ref:1561344)

Yep.

Rockmunky · 26 Mar 2006, 20:00 (Ref:1561547)

Can't see much though! Any link to some more piccys perhaps?

have a look at the trailer..... hmmm, interesting damage model.

Sodemo · 13 May 2006, 19:32 (Ref:1608907)

It looks pathetic.

Down F0rce · 13 May 2006, 19:44 (Ref:1608917)

Sums up every F1 game since F1 '98.
