The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning My First Contact with consoles can be archaeological to the Super Nintendo and trace the original Game Boy out of the last century. With the acquisition of Playstation1 Then followed a Sony Dynasty, which was manifested through to modern times with my money devastating PS3. The intellectually and technically in every must respect the superior alien race of PC Gamer I attach so quiet the "Konsolero" star player jacket.
much to my background. The ubiquity of the computer should not be denied, finally, the continuous progress of technology hardware and software, a samsara, the birth, every game production is in the belly of the Deva computer. The consoles are so therefore nothing more than limited Asuras ...?
evolution.
Yes, the transition from the surgically precise keyboard + mouse control to a two-handed, analog stick controller term evolution. Replacing the upgradeable at any time by a magic box technolgisch antiquitare, tightly sealed freezer is ... Evolution, baby. The simplification to lie face down on the couch and browse to either game, movie or music menu, while according to the package of food on the other side of the table du salon longs, is the current status of Homo sapiens.
"Console - The Next Generation" hope of Nirvana?
The next generation consoles from Sony and M $ are given for some time on the market, but is it loud wild rumors, a percentage of low proportion of people who have an age of high definition room still not welcomed with open arms should. What the distorted world view of the console giants miss is that the thumb thing from Nintendo called "Wii" has sold more than twice as much as the Playstation and box together. Shit happens. The PC failed God, unpopular as a joystick remote control in white, which speaks then ever for the brothers Cain and Abel? My
following more detailed explanations are to be on the PS3, XBox, I know only from a short Preview, this one may excuse me. Similarly, if subjectivity is accused of, I answer: Yes, the Xbox 360 is a metaphor for Cain. Let's fight.
Xbox 360 Elite,
~ 250 Avro : All the hardcore gamers of today need to kill
hardware
The spawn of the devil, Microsoft steals shamelessly in this elite version, the only real color in the universe: black. The Xbox is in general a PC on the medium high, which, in view of the market launch in late 2005 is not bad. The drive swallows DVDs and CDs and the now dead HD DVD format. The wireless controller is no different from the traditional big Playstation controller, depending on the habit will be one or the other are better. The Xbox controller can be connected via USB to the PC. The console itself is compared to the Playstation 3 noticeable loud. In addition, the console is pretty hot, in the past gabs a high failure rate "Ring of Death" due Überhitzungstod. At the elite should have the better. A large external power supply and no W-LAN Integrated double be listed as drawbacks. USB port is available.
software appear in this generation, many games on Xbox and Playstation, exclusivity is not so present. However, there are significant differences in corporate strategies. Microsoft has few own (capacity) and buys game studios like exclusivity perform or even entire game developer and develop for Xbox and Windows PCs. Currently limits itself to extra content in games like Fallout 3, where the extensions are published only on the Xbox 360. For the PS3 to extensions year came later. A while ago Time there were rumors that Microsoft wanted to buy the leading software manufacturer EA ... talk about world domination. Another advantage of Xbox 360 games is the PC-like architecture of the console. For multi-platform games is the port to the XBox much easier and can thus be superior to the Playstation version, the differences in quality in recent years, almost no longer exist. Pure PC studios like Valve release from porting reasons, no PS3 games. important exclusive titles the Xbox 360 is the "kiddie shooter" Halo franchise and Gears of War Metzelorgie. The tendency of these games lies in the Western taste, so full of shooters and violence. Part Exclusive Games like the RPG Mass Effect appearing on the PC.
Online Features
Xbox Live offers a comprehensive online service with Teamspeak and zeitexlusiven demos for the Gold subscription fee. The Silver subscription is free, but the access to free content such as demos and some limited online multiplayer game can only play with Gold subscription ... So who loves to play online, you need the gold subscription. A store with erkaufbaren games is vergügbar, will be paid with Microsoft Points, the exact conversion to hard currency I do not know. Will be charged to credit card. outlook for the future I do not trust M $. Their plans to conquer the console market are interrelated as a Damocles sword over the industry that was held back because of the economic crisis. A follow-console was rumored for 2012, but now they seem to have nothing new to 2015 in the West. The answer is FuchtelWii Natal, a controller-free concept for the console , which next year is expected. Technically innovative remains to be seen how the implementation looks like (so far were either demonstrations in clinical white spaces or the user
orange jumpsuits , d'oh contributed.) must Furthermore, we closely watch whether Microsoft can really swallow EA and a similar world conquest as the PC market will start.
PS3 Slim, ~ € 300
:
The courage to Matt monolith
The PS3 hardware was designed as a multimedia box, and even in the most recent reincarnation streamlined it inherits some features of the first Playstation 3 The drive is still Blu-Ray, 2 USB ports, 1 HDMI, digital audio, and Integrated double Netztteil. The console is a bit smaller and has become even quieter. I own the "old" 40 Giga model and because the volume is very low. W-LAN is integrated and, with the 120 giga hard drive a few games. Once the home network eingelinkt, you can use the PS3 to stream movies and music on your own PC
. External Hard Drives interface of PS3 can be connected and recognized by the USB, if they have FAT32. The PS3 recognizes the most popular formats such as DivX, unfortunately not the MKV format. DVDs can be scaled to 1080p, in Settings you can set the output format of the console to 540p, 720p or 1080p. The controller of the PS3 is wireless, to charge it is connected via USB to the PS3 or the PC. PS3 controller does not recognize the PC. The hard drive can be replaced relatively easily by an internal 2.5 inch hard drive. Because of the heat and noise, I recommend a dormant satisfied with 5400 revolutions in my PS3 a 320 Giga Samsung Plattte. weakness of the PS3 hardware, the Blu-Ray drive almost PS3 are all broken drive due. However, the failure rates are not high, my console has been running for more than a year without any problems * knock on wood * and acquaintances had only dead Xbox. software
Sony has some nice studios, which can bring out some nice exclusive productions specifically tailored to the PS3 architecture. This image references come out like Uncharted second Is made possible by a nuclear structure of the processor, which is both blessing and curse for the console. be programmed by the computing potential of her very high, must be specifically in this structure, which of course for the extremely hard-working computer programmer overtime. While technical exclusives Masterpieces are, we hear of multi-platform titles only bad words to program how difficult it on the PS3 was ... Mark the perfect pace for handkerchiefs.
Exklusititel are the strength of the PS3, game variety is offered: The tough RPG
Demon's Souls (not yet appeared in Europe * Heul *), epic Gehacke like God of War 3, FPS friends are served with Killzone 2, the interactive Film Noir Drama Heavy Rain is expected next year ... short, there is something for everyone here. The games are all region free, so you can import from every corner of the world game and it will run. The only danger seems to come from Microsoft's dollar bills, so that in some future titles appear later or not at all for the PS3.
A nice feature is a photo album that depending on the photos arranged by date, colors, motifs and tinkering a little slide. Because my camera can shoot HD pictures, I put most of the photos onto the PS3. Online Features the Playstation Network is free. You can use online games, the freely offer the Playstation Store offers additional content and smaller games for real money at. Will be charged by credit card. The contents of the Playstation Network is dependent on the country in which you specify in the registration of the profile. As an example, a German profile have no content that have been censored in Germany, while my Swiss Store has game demos of Resident Evil fifth The content (especially demos) can differ by region fairly, so I created 3 profiles: Switzerland, USA, Japan. Is indeed free the whole thing. The only downer is shopping with a credit card from the American Store accepts only Visa cards, because nothing goes with other cards. The European stores accept all cards.
Small but nice things: One, for example, some choose to download demos or videos, and the console as an option to go down after the downloads and installations are completed. Playstation Home is a "Second Life" with plenty of advertising space for several game companies ... Media Server on the local network be used eg to detect and watch movies. The Internet browser can somewhat lame, but Flash and DivX formats to play on the web. Youtube is not a problem, earlier gabs Hulu to Stream HD series from the Internet. Now the site is U.S. only, but who knows what other side is offering similar services in the future. Similar
outlook for the future like the PS2 is a Sony by a long life cycle. I expect full support until at least 2016-18, the console should age well technically and graphically not fall too far. It is working on a
FuchtelWii control that appears in the spring of 2010
and 3D games with the stereo glasses (and in future with 3D TV without) in development. What a strange future rumzufuchteln in 3D glasses with a glowing dildo in front of the TV ... Yes, just evolution.
Conclusion: Godzilla vs.. King Kong - The eternal struggle
Both consoles are, of course, the HD games, but they differ in price and demanding standard: While the Xbox 360 for the current dragons offers everything you need, the PS3 is a bit more of everything, but without real benefits have to. My combo from a relatively game-capable PC and the PS3 goes on well: Games I prefer the PS3, Xbox 360 exclusive titles like Mass Effect I can use on the PC. Movies and music are on my uniform PC, external hard drive and the PS3 divided. Those who have no powerful PC can buy for the relatively cheap price, a PC game called Xbox 360, but must be subject to charges the additional costs such as the online service be aware of. Unfortunately
out the new desgin of the PS3 Slim to the loss of momentous symbolism, the gloss paint on the old PS3 models could be wonderful leave his fingerprints ... although touching the monolith was of course forbidden, the controller is opened to the console there.
