60 half frames is not the same as 60 full frames. This is basic math, a 5 year old can tell you different. You're really stretching logic to hate on the PS3 to say that half the screen changing is no different than the whole screen changing, it's just a trick on your eyes that the screen appears to be changing every 1/60th of a second if you look at the screen as a whole. Doesn't mean that with the whole screen changing you're running progressive doesn't show twice as much as interlace.

You see twice as much every 60th of a second but even with interlaced output, you're still seeing 60 discrete images per second, not 30 and "skipping every other frame" like your original post said.

I never said there's no difference at all, though. Progressive obviously does have advantages, but it isn't "30fps vs. 60fps" like Sony has probably drilled into your brain. Again, you can't read. You just still get 60fps motion, it just doesn't look quite as clean. 60fps interlaced is still smoother looking as 30fps, interlaced or progressive.

And again, progressive scan isn't a magical advantage the PS3 only holds. Even Dreamcast supported progressive scan.
 
how the heck do you have a 'half-frame' ??? I usually compare frames as to pages in a flipbook... if you use that analogy.. how do you have a 'half-page' ?

Well, I don't know what they could do to make this possible, short of wiring directly into your brain, which maybe will be the natural progression for computing. Current technology cannot replicate a sense of reality because it can only control two senses for you, sight and hearing. From this standpoint, if we're trying to immerse ourselves into the game more, we can...

a) Upgrade graphics and sounds.
b) Upgrade controls.

Now I'm of the opinion that I'd rather just have more lifelike visuals and stick with a regular remote, which I'm not the least bit sick of. Gameplay can go either way... with a more powerful system you can create games that you can't with a less powerful system. With a interactive remote you can create games you can't with a regular controller.

Once the technology is out there that we can feel like we're in the game... like we're holding a sword and when our enemy blocks, the sword stops... then I'm going to support 100% whoever is bringing that out. Until that comes, and it'll probably be at least 15 years away, I don't think the traditional controller is getting phased out. If nothing else, my personal disappointment with the Wii has cemented that for me personally.

As far as your long lines of people who have been able to intuitively use your wii and never had any glitching with the controls, I can't comment on that. I can only comment that I don't think I have a defected Wii, I'm home on break now, with a large family room to test it out on and I notice problems with the Wii's controls. I'm not saying the wii sucks, just saying it's not as great as you're all hyping it. Not sure if it's the launch games, since they're overall low quality, that have failed to make Wii controls correctly implimented, or if it's the system itself. I hope it's the games, and good games will come out allowing me to compliment the wii to people and recommend it. If it's the system, I'm not going to be alone in Wii bashing.

Just to throw out, I don't know why on the internet the wii seems so popular, but when talking with friends and the folks in gamestores, they all pretty much say the xbox 360 makes wii look like a kid's toy. Haven't met one person face to face who said they think the wii is awesome.

Except that we're already at the limits of immersion in terms of graphics and sounds; the PS3 and 360 are already at the uncanny valley, the only place to go for more immersion is the controls; which is where the Wii is strongest.

The only people who are actually bashing the Wii's controls are the 3 PS3 owners on the boards, who also say that the PS3 is the best console. It comes off more of a preconceived bias than an objective judgement when it's only a very select few with such an obvious opinion on the matter. The wii's still getting good reviews by reviewers who have all 3 consoles, and who's job it is to review the consoles objectively. Yeah, you PS3 owners don't seem to care much about the reviews, but then it's hard to give you much significance when you say they don't matter because they're saying the PS3 isn't that good.

Every system has its pros and cons. The Wii has a controller, that is the ONLY reason it is selling.

Yeah, I agree. It has totally nothing, 0%, to do with the fact SSBB, the new Mario games, Metroid, and Zelda have homes here. It also probably has nothing to do with the very affordable price for what you're getting.

PS3 has blu-ray, ONLY reason that its selling.

I'd add a reason to this one. The PS2 was so successful I can see how a lot of people would naturally think the PS3 was going to be a hit. Around here though, and most places it seems, it's NOT selling.

The 360 is just... perfect.
 
480I shows 240 lines of resolution per frame.

480p shows 480 lines of resolution per frame.

The difference obviously gets bigger, and not using your systems max potential is retarded. I don't want to see 240 lines when I can see 720/1080 lines.
 
All i gotta say is 1080p is rediculous, especially if you can get a TV with 120hz refresh
 
I'm getting a PS3 eventually. I refuse to get one untill it actually have games worth playing, though. And right now, I consider it not having any games worth playing.

And by the way, what could show more bias... ever, than blasting Sixaxis as shitty and gimmicky and calling the Wiimote a triumph of modern science?

News flash, they're the same damn thing, PS3 games just don't use it as much.
Click to expand...
Your news flash must have been wrong. They are not the same thing. Motion sensing vs. Tilt function are two totally different animals. The Sixaxis basically describes how crappy it really is. It has 6 directions of tilt function. The Wii remote has 360 degrees motion sensing. Same thing? Hardly.

Unfortunately, most parents don't seem to understand or care that there is a rating system in place for games, they just buy whatever their kids want. That's mainly why you see 12-15 year-old kids playing GTA or manhunt; because their parents didn't give a shit and just bought whatever the kids wanted. It's annoying how afterwards the parent will then attack the video game company's for making such games rather than accept that they fail at parenting.

There also isn't going to be an E3 this year like there was last year. It will still be there, but maybe 10% of the size, instead there are going to be more smaller conventions for companies to hype their games.

As for the rating thing. I work a EB Games and if we dont ask for ID for a M rated game we get fired on the spot. You can be wrinkled and i still wanna see day ID.

I've never been asked for ID buying a game, ever. I think i got asked for renting MGS once when it first came out, but i said i didn't have it and rented anyways.
