Yamauchi on the PS3: "...beginning of a new world..."

[London Geezer]

They can damn me for heresy as they will, but Sony's clergy are just going to have to accept that not everyone worships their God.

Stop trolling.

Worship Sony is something, and they need to get a reality check, but calling Yamauchi ignorant is something else, and only a really ignorant person would say that.

 

[Azrael]

Stop trolling.

You first.

 

[London Geezer]

You first.

You don't know what trolling means obviously. Give it up. I'm not the one who called Yamauchi "ignorant".
Poisting a lot (and my post count is this big mainly because of the General Forum) is not trolling. Calling people names however IS trolling. Also posting to make absolutely no contribution to threads like you do, is trolling.

*Wait's patiently* for any contribution you make to this thread besides attacking me for expressing an opinion that was, actually, on topic.

London-boy stop flamebaiting. If you want to carry out your petty arguments with azrael take it to PM's or use your ignore lists.

Calling someone who created the biggest racing franchise in the world ignorant isn't "an opinion". It's trolling. *whether you like the GT series or not*
My contribution was on the first page. There's hardly anything to contrubute to a thread like this anyway.

EDIT: no actually i didn't post in the first page, must have confused this thread with the Stringer one.

When do you get to comment on what I post? No one's flamebaiting here.

Here, let me fix that for you.

Pathetic, really, in my opinion.

 

[London Geezer]

Fine. Keep it up man.

 

[3roxor]

More and more Devs are voicing their opinion about the PS3 and it's sounding great.

OK, Yamauchi is not ignorant of what rendering photo-realistic computer graphics really takes, his team created one of the most photo-realistic videogame in history, in my opinion.

 

[PC-Engine]

Yamauchi could create a photorealistic game on Xbox 360 too if he wanted to...

Obvious but you'll never hear him say it!

MS could probably not buy him out for an insane amout of $ either. But, you never know what money can do to you;-)

Wha's really interesting to me is his so close involvment with the PlayStation Platform from the beginning. I had no idea;

What have been your favourite PlayStation projects to work on?

That would have to be having been part of the start-up team for PlayStation. Software strategies, hardware design, or details of the designs of the controller were all decided by this small group. My family runs a cram school, and the students helped us by being the first testers of the PlayStation controller, which was then still in development. Hardware teams and software teams worked closely together in a family-like atmosphere to help the PlayStation project move forward.

Heh, if MS ever came out with an offer, i'm 1000% sure Sony will do ANYTHING to keep him. I mean, GT one of the pillars in the Playstation franchise as a whole, and he's the creator of GT.

Personally, i think GT needs a good revamp. Hopefully they'll get over their stuck-up-ness (damage, strange physics and other little things that have always been "not right" with GT games and have been fixed in other racers) for the PS3 versions.

Well yeah, I agree with some stuck-up-ness in the GT series, but on the other hand I kinda like his/their philosophy concerning "let's do something (for example damage) 100% or let's not at all".

I remember him saying something along the lines of "Yes, we have ran some tests with damage, we have simulated it, and as of now we are not satisfied with the results we would achieve with current hardware."
I also think he said that in 90% or 95% of all crash-situations at high speed, like in most races in GT, the cars would depart in literally thousands of small pieces and it was just not possible with the PS2, but it wuld be on the top od his list in future versions.

Maybe. But maybe he's looking at some raytracing going on down in PS3 which XB360 wouldn't perhaps be as capable of? I think it fairer to say no-one's going to be creating truly photorealistic imagery any more next-gen than they were rendering ToyStory in realtime this gen.

why even bringing x360 in this thread ? x360 doesn't even exist for Polyphony Digital.

If you are going to be accurate, then Yamauchi IS ignorant.

Being ignorant means you haven't learned something, or don't know something. It's does not mean he is stupid.


Now, he's made claims that Sony is the first system that can achive a certain degree of of graphics realism. However, he is a Sony employee, and as such, has not had direct access to Xbox 360 hardware (I doubt he's considering PC hardware either). Therefore, he really doesn't know if the PS3 is the first or not, and his comments are made in ignorance.

If you are going to claim your hardware is the first to do something, isn't the achievements of your competition be factored into that statement?

Yamauchi brought the 360 into the discussion by claiming the PS3 is the first to do this when the 360 in all likelyhood can do it too, and will be on store shelves first.
