PS3 FTW

XBOX360 SUCK MEH BALLS

( just kidding ) i love xbox360 too kinda

[ProGamingVault]

Dude, there loads of ps3 games,If you like Xbox or pc thats fine but if you havent got one dont comment

[wolfoe]

ps3 and xbox360 sucks.

buy a good pc. you can do much more than simulate falling boxes.

[GeForce47]

Wow you're an idiot. This is a demo showing the physics capabilities of the console asshole. The PS3 can process good physics, why would i want a PC for gaming?? The Exclusives SUCK

[wolfoe]

um, because gaming on the pc is much more accurate? aiming with mouse is just great. aiming with a controller is shit. yeah you can use your mouse for your console woohoo. but then you have the problem with the keys. that just sucks. buy a good pc on the internet, build it yourself and then you'll be lucky. console games are so expensive. and for the ps3, you can't even download games 4 free [warez]. so, 4:1 for pc vs console

[GeForce47]

Yeah you can download games for free and you can SHARE games with many ps3 users, thats awesome, its great to have a console. Controllers are good for me. Good Service, good reliability, good hardware... ps3 is the best. Im not saying PC is bad, i just like my Ps3 more, the exclusive games are better.

[wolfoe]

sure. the exclusive games are great. and thats the thing why I hate microsoft even more. exclusive gta4 content only for xbox. exclusive cod6 content (they can do anything with money) and so on. i hate that. microsoft is shit

[GeForce47]

I know i hate them too. They Paid millions to Rockstar for that DLC, those fuckers. Cod6 content?? You're talking about the maps?? It has been confirmed by Infinity ward that those maps are coming to both ps3 and 360 :) idk if they're coming to pc, i think so.

[wolfoe]

nice to hear. but thats such a thing. i hope no one has to pay for the maps like in cod5. the consoles have to pay 5€ for each map pack. pc gets it for free. a pc might be expensive than a console. but if you see the other costs. well, we can discuss years about this theme. I like pc's and you consoles. let's quit that thing xD

[GeForce47]

Yeah i agree lol

[peckfeckler]

they paid for stuff that otherwise wouldnt have been made.. how is that a bad thing?? and when discussing the cost of a pc, remember it is a pc, and can do sooo much more than a console when gaming isnt concerned.

[DarkShroom]

obviously you havn't played empire total war, DON'T, you just wouldn't get it

[MakoSucks]

..why would you want a PS3 for gaming? It doesn't have any games! There are like hundreds of pc exclusives, and like 3 decent ps3 exclusives.

[Isakuma]

People said the same thing with the PS2 and the Xbox, but the PS2 is now better than the Xbox.

[MakoSucks]

.... what?

[blackgold161]

i guess u dont get out much there are lotes of ps3 excluseves. PS3 exclusives made game of the year in 08 and 09

[MakoSucks]

Don't you mean i get out too much, since were talking about videogames?

There are like a hundred and fifty ps3 exclusives, but only a handful are DECENT. Every year, every system gets a goty award from every publication you can think of, so game of the year doesn't mean much, and i bet you most chose multiplatform games like gta4, or cod4

[mbsfaridi]

watch crysis physics and pc has a wii like remote

[george3dmax]

Crysis physics Lags

[mbsfaridi]

crysis's physics lags if you have the right config it won't and i think you saw a video recorded by fraps that software take a lot of fps

[Winner2611]

the power of a ps3 ;)

[Jonemode]

ps3 ftl

[vasilebujor67]

This looks like a publicity. Everyone talks about phisics and ohoo, ps3 proves that is capable! What a surprize :)). By the way, it's 7xxx nvidia, so teoretically, people with 7xxx could use phisics.

PS. Your 500 quids pc may be improper build - hardware components selected wrong and software done wrong. I am a system builder from Romania and I make affordable pc's with performances verry similar to pc's much more expensive. I made a 3000 euro pc the humiliated the skulltrail performances LOL.

[fiveMIRrOrs]

That really isn't that much of bodies + they are very simple ones + there is NOTHING else on the screen except basic lightning.

[jaffaonutube]

Well I don't see that being run on any other console!

[fiveMIRrOrs]

So?

[HTFDUDEHTF]

GMOD IS BETTER ASSHOLES!!

[Sourpencil]

gmod isnt better than that, it would freeze up and crash, asshole

[kennyb2142]

Not if your comp does not suck dicks through a straw

[logitech4873]

wal, do this in real time with your pc while recording...

[kennyb2142]

He's recording from a sperate camera, hense you can see his arm. And no. The source engine would not freeze up. That was only like 150 blocks..

[logitech4873]

150? more than 150.

the source doesnt survive massive physics tests like that.

[kennyb2142]

Well, if you get a proper none shit one it will. I would make a vid, but I need to wait for my new comp <,<

[Exxod07]

it has nothing to do with the pc, an outdated engine will crash on a skulltrail tri sli system under this stress

[Exxod07]

if that actuall existed XD

[kennyb2142]

The PS3 is not outdated ;)

[Sourpencil]

you could have the best freakin computer on the planet

but the source engine would still freeze up and crash, it used to be the top physics engine, now its just watever

[HTFDUDEHTF]

ps3 and 2 and 1 sucks because you need use a controller and its hard and in the pc you only push buttons so stfu

[Sourpencil]

wtf?

[Exxod07]

wtf?

[opusman2]

The PS3 has a controller, that is true, and the PC has a controller too. ITS THE FRIGGIN KEYBOARD! A controller has buttons too! YOU FAIL

[HTFDUDEHTF]

Dude my comment was like 1 year ago.....

[psychotomb]

i want to try this they should make a physics game

[erictech603]

They kinda messed up on the "next gen consoles" they gave them great proc's 3 cores on 360 and I think seven for the ps3, however the gpu's on bothe are right around the same as like an 8600gt, and neither has a lot of RAM.

[traceur9]

They don't have a lot of ram, but other than that, they outperform most PCs. Most people don't have quad core, alot of people don't even have dual cores. If they had the ram they both would crush my brand new Alienware desktop.

[sviini]

quite weak preformance for ultra power 9 cores but anyway crysis wont use physics that much btw if this would be rendered and textured that PS3 they were using would burn (if they were). And ps3 graphics wont be so great as on PC cuz GPU is "slow" and supports only openGL 2.0. Buy PC :D in this time you re able to build PC for 400-500$ running crysis on max/high details and if you buy EVGA 8800gt you ll have crysis as well.

[monsterrun]

xbox is deising to break.

whos the dumb as at microsoft who decided to used a simple radiator. that supoose to dissapate the heat. when the quad xneon is dissapating its heat and sharring it with the gpu. rofl microsoft is either doing sabotage or being stupid. put 2 intercooler instead of one big.the quad core heats up and so the gpu. with no proper cooling weak gpu can get easyly to 80 celcius. and xenon 60 celcius. being on contact with the same god damn cooper plate. cooper heat up

[monsterrun]

cooper heat up and dont cool down. yes heat goes up. but if you put you finger on cooper you still burn yourself. so guess the temp on the motherboard. im not a pro in comp but i would have never did something like that.

the slot on the motherboard of the xbox are made to piss you off. they arnt standard. so you cant replace them. (see sabotage)

[BlackPheonix81]

i feel like cutting a massive square out the top of the 360 and fitting 4 120mm fans

¬_¬

[ABadFeeling]

The simulations are slowed down to make it look smoother, look at 0:22 - 0:24 for what speed it should be going at.

I have to say it's pretty impressive to be running that fast without a PPU, but they have bullshitted a bit with the number of objects because there's no way a game can use that amount of objects in real time, it's just too slow.

[revorocks123]

Ok i just realised your right. im sorry, i have no idea where i found that it was tri-core. i should check my facts before i post shit :P.

Soz

[revorocks123]

thats not true. the ps3 is tri-core... not ocro core

yes 3 cores! google it so is the xbox 360

[chrism321]

eight

[xelink]

technically it's single core. it has 8 low power co processors though.

go on wikipedia and look up cell. IT IS NOT A GAMING CPU, IT IS FOR MEDIA DECODING AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. Sony just so happens to have needed a way to get cell to market and the PS3 was it. Take otherwise defective unsellable chips and toss them in the PS3 with disabled SPEs and at a lower than normal clock speed and there you go...

[logitech4873]

yea, low powered co processors... at 3,2 ghz each...

[monsterrun]

ps3 is using a cell early model. only at 1.8ghz with close to 40 megs l2 cache memory.

and have only 6 cores. the same cell processor would cost you 310$ us today.

its not as costly as it seems. thats why the ps3 price droped enormously.

[darkshiv]

PS3 has 8 processors according to my sony freak friend.

[CrashGames2108]

One processor with 8 cores.

[darkshiv]

Oh. Well my friends a faggot, for relying on every electronic device that is Sony.

[monsterrun]

ya one physycal processor with 8 logical processor

[Exxod07]

its got 7...

[Frooby123]

Can you download this demo anywhere?

[AnnoyedDragon]

Have consoles ever released their tech demos to the public? They will show off what they 'claim' their platforms can do but they won't put it in the hands of the general public.

If you want a physics demo to play with I recommend the NovodeX beta demo if you can find it, old and not multithreaded but you can still mess around with a few thousand objects depending on your CPU.

[ArronAppleyard]

Bet they cant simulate fluid as well as that. My PC without a physix card can do the same as this vid easy xD

[Leadwerks]

Notice when they drop the boxes, they immediately collapse. This is because their physics system cannot do stable stacking of objects.

It's crap.

[undivided809]

what!? do you actually know what you're talking about? all they had to do is increase the friction on all the boxes and they would stack up already.your brain is crap cuz it can't think properly.

[PiNeApLeR]

No responce from him: Idiot..

You are right, undivided809!

[icebice]

People say that they are not impressed because they've seen similar stuff on the PC with a PhysX card for a while now, may I remind you that the PS3 is just using raw CPU power for the physics? That's pretty heavy. I would also like to see this techdemo with textures and shaders and see the *real* power of the PS3, it's rather pointless to just show thousands of untextured boxes as we won't see any of that in any upcoming game in the future unless it's a new Tron game :P.

[Genome66]

I would love to see this console run this techdemo with all boxes fully textured. And also have a whole game running alongside. If basic rigid body physics is pushing the PS3 sony is in deep shit. This techdemo is pointless as they will never be able to have this stuff ingame with the PS3 as it is too slow. If you want mass physics get a decent PC and a PhysX card. There are even a couple of free PC games too, Warmonger and Cellfactor. The current crop of consoles is already well out of date.

[Aros24]

id rather pay $400 than pay $3000 for a rig that has almost the same grapics

[AnnoyedDragon]

$3000 again, all console users say 3000 when they don't know the actual price of PC gaming...

[Aros24]

big rings that can cost 6000+ when other cheap (and not that good ones) cost 1500+, at least according to GFW

[AnnoyedDragon]

You are talking about a magazine controlled by GFW here; why not look at a decent source like PCGamer? If they are saying $1500 is the minimum for a gaming rig they are idiots, $6000+? What the hell are they smoking?

Everyone has a computer for something and upgrading that into a gaming rig is cheap; it is very rare that you need to build from scratch, which will then be in the $1500 range for a 'Crysis' on medium/high rig.

[SheppardBYT]

actually i built from scratch and it cost me 750$ for a very crysis worthy machine its a e4500 that i overclocked to 3GHz on a asus P5K-VM 2GB ram dvd burner 500GB harddrive and a 8800GT. i think that was a good deal, no?

i play crysis on full except 2nd highest antialisising setting

[Exxod07]

yea my pc cost like £550 in its got a core 2 duo, gtx260 4gb of ram, 500gb hard drive. people auto think that its a bomb and its not....

[DrAtHaLoS]

it could just be a video u guys know that right..

[BlueDevilHam]

aaaaahhhhhh.....JENGA!!!!!!!!

[DelaCaseas00]

i don't understand what the point of that was?

[AnnoyedDragon]

I've been seeing these sort of physics on PC with PhysX/Havok FX for too long to be impressed I'm afraid, maybe a few years ago but not in 2007.

I honestly don't see consoles leading game play physics; despite the processing power of the PS3 the memory resources on consoles arn't as plentiful as computers, even if you can handle the physics calculations the memory capacity can become a bottleneck.

[Jeroenske]

lol its a demo so they where prolly made to crash. Would be a pretty boring demo if they would simply stand. Imagine the developers saying "look at our fantasic physics !" while pointing at a bunch of standing towers. haha

[anagama2001]

hm... the physics isn't that great. looks like the towers aren't able to stand. they wouldn't easily bulge out like that with more realistic physics.

[zezen666]

try doing that with textures, ai, etc. Then say its the power of the ps3.

[weses2]

asian bastards lololol

[nullsquared]

Um... Cubes? The most simple primitives of all? Falling in low gravity... Just... amazing. I cannot believe my eyes. This is so next-gen that I cannot believe it.

[BrandonFurtwangler]

i agree its not amazing, but i just wanna point out that spheres are simpler physics-wise...boxes are a bit harder for resolving collisions.

[staphinfection]

Oh wow... cubes. Quick, run out and drop half a grand on a crap system with crap games.

[bball4lyph]

its a demonstration u idiot

[ExplodingTeeth]

It's a physics sim you fool.

[staphinfection]

Then demonstrate that it has good games.

[757hustlers]

all of you are wrong this is only early developement of the ps3 the ps3 has supercomputer power its on another scale of pc or 180 please dont come with your dreams

[railenmiles]

No, the ps3 is not equiped with a PPU as well as the 360. Both will use the parallel computational power of their multicore processors, and perhaps in tandem with their GPUs. nVidia's latest GPUs can simulate physics effectively, I reckon so can ATI. I guess the PC industry again trumps the console ones by a wider range of peripheral devices such as the PPU. Great video. Atleast we know that Cell's SPEs are not mere useless DSPs as Microsoft puts it.

[NullSoldier]

*Yawn* It's only PhysX. This has been out for Soooo long.

[TW0man4RMY]

Don't give a fuck just show me some fun games.

[AlmostSven]

Phys X. This PPU is also for the PC and the 360.

[gsss124]

nicey, nice, nice!! who's the speaker??
