London dailies give PS3 the grade

Ó

this is warUK">London's newspapers are having a battle of their own in delivering their verdicts on the PS3. In one corner, you have the Evening Standard, which, after comparing the three models, gamely awarded top points to the PS3.

Dedicating a whole page of the daily to the comparisons, Mark Prigg, Evening Standard technology correspondent, raves about the PS3  in his article 'World-beating PS3 well worth the wait'. Says Prigg, "The first thing that hits you is the quality of the graphics. They are incredibly detailed and fast, noticeably more so than Microsoft's xbox 360, and often though to distinguish from video."

In conjunction with the console-critique, they also did reviews on three of the launch titles. Resistance: Fall of Man, and Ridge Racer 7  survived with 4 stars each, while MotorStorm came out as the winner, earning a full five-star rating.

On the other corner, we have here The Guardian, offering a rather polar take on the PS3. Apparently, while they found it good, it fell short to offset what the Xbox 360 can offer, and thus, impress them. Says Greg Howson, "The launch games we've played do look more impressive, especially when viewed on a high-definition TV, but there is nothing on display that Microsoft's competing Xbox 360 couldn't produce.

Well, that's their take. And inasmuch as everyone is entitled to their own opinions, you need not be swayed by what others say. The PS3 will be out in a few days, so, then, we'd know for ourselves which one wins over the other.

Not to be insulting, but why the **** would I be interested in the London Evening Standards article when i live up in Manchester? Ok I will let you off with The Guardian as that's a national newspaper NOT A LONDON PAPER.

I agree, the Guardian is a far more recognised and respected paper in general. When it comes to game reviews, however, I have no idea which should be more respectable...



I think I'd go with the Guardian though.

There is a large difference between whether or not MS COULD produce those graphics, and whether or not they HAVE and WILL. Do I think they have? No. Do I think they will? Yes.

..with soon to be released games like Gears of War and Lost Planet, I certainly think they have produced 'those graphics'.

# Yes RR not for everyoneSpector 2006-11-06 04:17
RR is for people who don't want to play an exact racing simulator but rather an arcade style racing game with lots of depth in the cars and races and such. You apparently aren't the kind of person RR is meant for so just keep those dumb opinions to yourself next time.
