*-- RagnaroK--* Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 i hve heard so many rumours about the so called PS3 and am now getting my hopes high. i have been collecting all of the official ps2 mags and in most of them there are rumours on Metal gear solid 3, qouting: "do you excpect sony to improve on such cool graphics, no its impossible, so they might as well put it on a more powerful console to be able to improve". This isnt fair if there making this up cus they are really killing me here! They plan a release date of about 10 years from now!!!!!!!!!!! God Help Me, ill be married withkids by then, if i cabt keep track of skool, then how will i keep track of work!! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 i dont know, ive never heard of such a thing and i know some people that were dumb enough to think sony was coming out with a vr system called something like ps 10, based on a commercial from tv when ps2 was coming out. id say dont worry, but, if they did it would be cool. graphics can always get better.

zidane11 Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 The PS3 is been under developement for a while. I recieved info the other fay saying it's supposed to be 1000 times as powerful as the ps2. Sony is working with IBM I think and they are trying to utilize cell technology. Weird huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imsirion Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 I've heard of it being called the "Playstation Extreme", I hope ity comes out. This belongs in the playstation forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlepoop Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Anyone see that cheap PS9 comercial about 2 years ago? It featuresd a black box with a white dome on top and said Playstation 9, and ended. Anyone know what that was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zidane11 Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 I never did see that commercial. It probaly isn't going to come true though. I've already heard talk about ps6 and 7 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroBlade Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Zidane11 is right about the PS3. Its real and Sony is working with IBM in developing the system. Its processor is only code named "Cell" much like what they called the "Emotion Engine" for the PS2. I recall reading on PSM magazine that the PS3 should show its face sometime in 2005. However this information is rather old and there hasn't been any updates of this as far as I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] I completely agree. I've already made a topic on this called [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?threadid=10015]Playstation 3 Talk[/URL]. Basically we've covered all of this. All of this Playstation 6, Playstation 7 etc., speculation isn't really appropriate. The Playstation 9 commercial was basically Sony saying that they will still head the videogame industry in the future and that the PS2 is the start of something big in technology. We shouldn't make a mountain out of a mole hill by thinking that the PS9 is really in development right now, or anywhere close to a reality. We won't be seeing anything past PS2 for years (way less than ten, more like three). Thus, it's really pointless to go beyond PS3. As far as Metal Gear Solid 2's graphics go, yeah, they were nice, but I think that in the right hands the PS2 is capable of better. Heck, Metal Gear Solid 2 looked good because of small touches that improved the overall package. The textures or polygon counts weren't anything truly fantastic. So, yeah, if you want to read accurate facts about PS3 then read the old topic. This one is really just speculating on stuff that we won't see for a long, long time.
