TheMightyPuck said:I guess I'm repeating myself but I don't get this. Did everyone think the PS3 graphics tech was going to suck or something and now that they've announced an agreement with Nvidia it is going to rock?? Before this announcement, what exactly did you think SONY was going to use for PS3 graphics? Some outdated technology or the latest cutting edge technology? If you say latest cutting edge, then it's the actual tech that is exciting, not the particular partner who makes it.
I'll admit this was my belief:
V. Good CPU (Cell) + V. Average GPU/Rasterizer (Sony/Toshiba) + Pigheaded development environment.
After todays announcement:
V. Good CPU (Cell) + V. Good GPU (nVidia) + Developer-friendly dev environment. (Sony/nVidia/IBM)
If you were expecting a competitive, yet eccentric all Sony design then it only goes to follow that removing some of the weakest links (Sony/Toshiba's GFX ) and replace it with expertise from market leaders in the field, then obviously your expectations are going to have been raised some.
