PS3 Not until 2007?!

The new version of GT for the PS3 will have more than the 4 cars...the demos show something like 20. If they've programmed it in, then you can have a street of 20 racing nuts each in a separate car racing each other...without having to go online either. You'd just need three consoles and the 20 pads (each nut will probably have his or her own).

Whereas with the Xbox 360, you'd need 5 consoles, each with 4 wired or wireless pads...that is if you can connect a 360 to another 360 and so on.

Edit:

Just a little article about the Unreal 4 engine: After their Unreal Engine 3 presentation today at the Leipzig Games Show in Germany, Epic's Vice President Mark Rein revealed that the company has been on track to produce the successor to Unreal Engine3. [Ed: Already?] Mark Rein explained , "People don't realise this but we're already two years into development of Unreal Engine 4. It certainly doesn't have a full team yet, it's just one guy and you can probably guess who that guy is." [Ed: Not really hard to guess, eh Mr.Tim Sweeney?] Mark Rein added that, "Unreal 4 is totally groundbreaking and totally changes the way games will be done in the future," Rein continued, "I don't expect it to be staffed up as a team for a while. But when people come to work at Epic, they know they're going to be shaping the future of the videogame business." So according to Epic, only Tim Sweeney is working on the project and that they are hiring more people to up the pace on the new engine. It's surprising how Unreal Engine 3 hasn't even become mainstream and they are already at work on a new one. Speaks volumes about their confidence to rein supreme in the graphic engine wars!

Does the TV screen get split 7 ways for you too?

1 TV screen?!

Let's say it actually happened...you wouldn't use just one screen, you'd use 2 HD TV screens. Two screens would get split 7 ways.

Maybe more than 2...Sony have announced that you will be able to connect 2, 1080i (I think it's 1080i) HD screens to the PS3 and have it like a Panarama view, but they haven't said whether you can have more than the 2. Still a long time until it finally comes out...plenty of tinkering time. It's a long shot, but one of the clever guys developing the PS3 may think "7 controllers...if they play multiplayer maybe they'd each want their own TV?". Probably not 7 screens when we finally get it...but I'm guessing more than 2.

Still spliting more than 4 ways is retarded in my opinion... 7controllers for one console... sounds like its just a way to get people excited with realism that it just isnt great.

Go ahead and buy 7controllers and your two big TVs so you can crowd 7 people, 2 TVs to play one game

Jesus Fuckin Christ. I thought everyone on the face of the Earth had went through this. I guess not. Lenny here seems stuck in the stoneage. I'm sorry man but I gotta fill you in here. Let me try to put it into terms you'll like. Computers used to use vacuum tubes. Vacuum tubes were too large, and ultimately you couldn't get very much speed as compared with modern PCs. So what happened, they came out with transisters. When transistors outlived their time, what happened? They came out with integrated circuits.

So let's break it down like this:
Console Era I: NES
Console Era II: SNES SEGA
Console Era III: N64 Playstation
Console Era IV: DreamCast GameCube Playstation Xbox
Console Era V: Xbox 360 Playstation 3
Someone fill me in on the new Nintendo Console, I don't care to look it up

ANYHOW. The idea you are proposing, which you seem to think is the coolest thing on the face of the planet, is an early Era IV idea. Xbox called it "system link." I guess you wouldn't remember because you're a fanboy or Sony. With the "developement" of "xbox live" otherwise known as "console internet gaming" that idea was sacked out the window. Do you realize the time it takes to set all that stuff up? Not only that, but do you really think you are going to get 20 people playing the same game that long and get them to come together? Well let me tell you the answer: No. That's just retarded. Playstation's big brag was it's number of games, too, so unlike xbox(which it's already hard to find people who play the same games as you religiously), it's going to be practically impossible. Plus once you've had 7 people on one console, it's no longer going to be fun, it's going to have bumped downed graphics or a shitty framerate, pick your favorite one. Having multiple consoles, each with its own processor, and each conveniently located in your home, is a much easier way to accomplish multiplayer.

If you ever think about it as someone already pointed out, Playstation has never been the forefront of the multiplayer experience. Playstation 1 only had 2 controller ports, and don't even say they have an adapter for 5 because only 2.3% of the games supported 5 players and those games remain nameless. To top it off, only about 10% of the games supported 2 players, putting it right under the NES, an Era I generation console. Then along came Playstation 2 in all it's multiplayer glory. I don't even want to get into that. Let's just say I'm proud of them for finally capitalizing online capabilities halfway through the Era. Ya if I want to sit down, jackoff, and eat Tostitos, I'll do it with a Playstation... or a porno movie, but if I want good awesome multiplayer fun I'll go with N64 / DreamCast(ya it's better, what?) / Xbox, or GameCube.

Sorry for ragging the Playstation so much, it's just you had it so inflated I had to pop the hollow balloon. I would get one of if it was a decent console. Right now I'll stick with Xbox games, computers games, or GameCube games, in that order.

I might like living in the Stone Age...we don't get knocked down by cars.

As I've just said to Acer, the idea you think I was proposing was being used as an example of what people might be able to do.

As for multiplayer, I don't give a rats arse about multiplayer. I prefer playing things on my own...and anyway, the only other person living within a mile radius of me that I could play multiplayer with is my sister. Everyone who I might play it with if I wanted to lives a few miles away from me.

As for playing online, I will admit, Xbox got something right. PS2 tried to copy it by bringing out modems for the PS2 and games that you could play online. At their conference, Sony said that the PS3 will have much better internet capabilities than the PS2 did. It has 3, 1 gigabit ethernet ports, one internal and two external. Connect a modem up to one of them and you're laughing! Unfortuately, only Hong Kong will be able to take full advantage as they have the worlds first 1 gigabit internet connection, the rest of us make do with up to 8mb.

If you want to rag about Playstations, then I can't stop you. You're in the Xbox camp, I'm in the Playstation camp. Just as long as you let me rag about Xbox's then we've got an agreement...

Yeah exactly... i will not argue this. Playstation is the best choice for a single player person. Xbox is the best choice for a multiplayer player.

I honestly do not care which has better graphics, only the multiplaying and game titles. With Xbox having the best multiplaying and multiplayer game titles, its my choice

Running the classics, what did I tell ya?

::Looks around:: Can I preorder yet?

I was using that as an example...and it looks like a very bad example. I was just saying that that could happen.

You don't need to take everything so literally!

Lol sorry about that... I just saw it and was like WTF, kinda went overboard with it I suppose.

You're not the only one who seems to take my things literally. Most people I know think that I say things literally...even when I'm not...it's weird.

You can't be blamed, it's usually always happening with my metaphorical examples...
