Portuguese? Can someone please confirm this? I need proof of this, so I can finally shut my friend up on the matter! He's convinced the Jungle Pirates speak Japanese!
@ Comment by Azure Xuchilbara 22:54 03/08/2010: I rofl'd at the sarcastic comment. Yes, it is Portuguese (Brazilian). I have no clue if they use that in Portugal, there are pretty different words for the same situation/object in some cases. Personally I can't understand what Portuguese ppl say because of their spelling (not criticizing, each with his own).
That remains me of an Building in my Hometown (Hagen Germany).
We had an Building named "Langer Oskar" wich looks exactly like an PS2.

Perhaps some designer was tapping his pencil on his desktop, trying to think of ideas, then looked out his window, saw the building, and thought, "That thing looks cool.... HEEEYYYYY... I know what I'll do...!"
your not very smart are you? lol there is no way that statement would work with swapped consoles. In case you forgot the PS3 has a ridiculous number of Cores but the majority of games look the same or better on 360.
well while it is true that almost all x-plattform games look better on the 360, it's not because the PS3 can't handle the graphics. It's because the PS3 is way too hard to understand and it is way too timeconsuming to make optimized Games for it.
CliffyB (from Epic Games) said that on last Years E3 and many other Devs agreed to him. The best prove that the PS3 can do alot more than the 360 is Uncharted 2, which has by far the best Graphics to date on Consoles.
I have both consoles btw and i'm using my 360 for almost all Games (since xplattform games are still better and will always be), but the exclusives the PS3 has are simply astonishing.
no. it was initially 1 PPE and 8 SPE but 8th SPE was locked-out to improve manufacturing yields. 7th SPE is for XMB only. That leaves 1 main PPE and 6 SPE for processing games. Still Cell is more powerful than Tri-Core Xenon (xbox) but Cell is hard to program so it explains why multi-platform games looks better on xbox.
p.s. SPE =/= core it cannot process information independently without PPE.
For a gaming console, CELL is very miss matched. It lacks a large cache size, so all it can really do is crunch numbers. Plus it's a bitch to program. The tri-core w/ multithreading design works better, for a gaming environment and makes programing a bit more universal.
Anyway, it's the GPUs of both systems which are the real handicaps. The 2TF capability of CELL does jack shit, to improve upon the GPUs limited capacity. Which is exactly why newer computers smoke both consoles.
mgs4 has allot of polish.
uncharted 2 is the better looking game.
but killzone 2 is the best looking game.
see this is where art style plays a big fucking role, because i believe that raw graphics counts, killzone is the winner, mgs4 blends great graphics and war in a better way, making the game appear better, uncharted has the colorful shit that both games lack immensely.
and you are right, the cell is the thing holding ps3 back, but sony wants to do shit there way for 3 consoles now. it was hard but cheap for ps1, it was hard but wide spread for ps2 and now its just a fuck you scenario for ps3
They would build the central air system too small to accommodate the building, hire cheap foreign labor to do a crappy job with brick & mortar, the building would suffer from extreme fatigue and warping, only to finally be demolished and replaced by a smaller, exact copy (including the problems) in the near future.
Where was this taken?
Vagabundo 1: Now that's biiiiig!
Vagabundo 2: Yes...VERY BIG!!!
And yes, I too am also curious where this was taken...
Vagabundo!? Don't you mean hobo? Are you Brazilian by any chance?
I believe that quote is from the game Lost Planet 2. If you Youtube Vagabundo, you'll get the joke.
I'm referencing what the "Vagabundos" from Lost Planet 2 say in the beginning of Episode 5, Chapter 1 when they spot something BIG on the monitor...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTyNtrPjIi4
And no, I'm Irish actually...
Vagabundo also means Vagabond in Spanish... oh, such an unexpected surprise.
And it's also the Portuguese word for "hobo", so no biggy here.
"Vagabundo" in Antarctican means "dick".
@Anonymous 22:47 03/08/2010
Funny...The Vagabundos do act like d*cks in Episode 5 of Lost Planet 2...
Ridiculously violent, gung-ho, trigger-happy, Overland Battleship stealing, Category G destroying, NEVEC-hating d*cks to be exact...
@Anonymous 22:17 03/08/2010
Strangely coincidental that it means hobo in Portuguese, since the Jungle Pirates in Episode 1 speak Portuguese...
And both Vagabundos and Jungle Pirates both belong to the "Fight Junkies" Snow-Pirate Faction...
Portuguese? Can someone please confirm this? I need proof of this, so I can finally shut my friend up on the matter! He's convinced the Jungle Pirates speak Japanese!
@raijinz
This should shut your friend up...
http://lostplanet.wikia.com/wiki/Lost_Planet_2_Characters
Look up the Jungle Pirates under Fight Junkies...They speak 100% Portuguese...

It's the prototype of the PS4. According to Sony researchers the actual console will be a lot smaller, though. ^_^
Imagine plugging that into your home outlet lol...I wonder how much storage space is in there?
Man can you imagine the graphics on HD TV using that thing?
That's actually Osaka Namba Parks.
Damn, beat me to it.

So....Sony used this design for PS3?
That remains me of an Building in my Hometown (Hagen Germany).

I call this a blatant case of Simmonsing on Sony's part... Oh, wait... Wrong article. Nevermind. =P
This on looks a bit like PS2 too: http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/7334/nestetower.jpg
I think this is more like Sharp X68000.
PS2 dev kit looks exactly like that lol.
Was expecting a giant black monolithic PS3 ala 2001 A Space Oyssey.
Same! ..only in my head, it's floating in outer space as I find the Earth to be an unsuitable society for its presence.
Now THIS is Epic Win
HOLY SHIT!!! I wonder how many Gigs that PS3 has!?
Gigs? More like Pentabytes. ^_^
Don't know about GB's, but it sure has processing power, it can run several business offices at the same time!
...yeah, I think I'll just leave now...
That playstation is a true multi-user system.
lmfao thats srsly epic
for the last time even with that many cores you still wont catch up to 360.
I believe you made a typo and swapped the consoles in your comment, my anonymous friend.

Knowing Cell processor fail. Cell has only one core (PPE) and 7 (SPE) sub-cores.
isn't the cell an 8 core processor with 1 core disabled by default to make the fail rates on the chips lower?
no. it was initially 1 PPE and 8 SPE but 8th SPE was locked-out to improve manufacturing yields. 7th SPE is for XMB only. That leaves 1 main PPE and 6 SPE for processing games. Still Cell is more powerful than Tri-Core Xenon (xbox) but Cell is hard to program so it explains why multi-platform games looks better on xbox.

Hello fellow anon, I believe you need glasses, and a better perspective
Console war is a serious business lol.

Eh? I thought MGS4 was the best looking. Uncharted 2 was kind of 'meh'.
mgs4 has allot of polish.

PS3 Building has no parking.
Why would you need a shelf to hold games when the system has none. So makes sense lol
^ And that argument is from which era?
From before the PS3 was even developed, of course.
There actually is parking, can see it clearly in the bottom right corner, under the building, atleast 3 levels of it.
Now make a giant 360 and it will accidentally the whole world.
Imagine how this giant PS3 can accidentally the whole world!
No way, a 360 building would have a huge chance of breaking, not really safe.
Made in China, with rubbish instead of bricks.
They would build the central air system too small to accommodate the building, hire cheap foreign labor to do a crappy job with brick & mortar, the building would suffer from extreme fatigue and warping, only to finally be demolished and replaced by a smaller, exact copy (including the problems) in the near future.
Hmm. Sounds familiar....
There are giant 360s in many cities. They are commonly referred to as the "red light" districts.
lmao ZING
Oh geez how did I not see that one coming xD
Good one though, hats off sir
I almost choked laughing.
Those districts often have ring roads looping around them, called the Red Ring. ^_^
And some of the workers there have red things on their labia, only those are from STDs...
I don't think that the 360 is structurally sound enough to have a building in it's likeness. Think of all the scratched discs.
