Engadget Previewed PS3 Gameplay
Sony recently held an event for gamers who would like to try or preview the PS3 in New York. As we’ve probably expected that the gamers will be having fun while playing the games on new PS3, which will be released on November 17 by Sony. Engadget had a few shots of some of the games that they played during the Sony event.
“The good news is that all that horsepower isn’t just being wasted on 1080p, a lot of these games looked dang impressive, though +$200 impressive might be stretching it a bit. Unfortunately, a few of the games looked no better than their Xbox 360 counterparts, and we’re not sure how noticeable some of the differences would be without a fancy, bigscreen 1080p setup…Graphics are great, animations are superb, “nail the trick” is amazing, and we still suck at skating games. As a side note, the game can be controlled with the SIXAXIS’ tilt features, but it’s nearly impossible and much less accurate to do so.”
