So i completely forgot a paragraph...

Sony has somthing going for them with the inclusion of Blu Ray, for one its going to open more an more people up to the blu ray market, even if they didnt buy a ps3 for that reason. my guess is this thought will run through their head "Well i have a ps3 and it has blu ray... and that works fine, so i think ill get the blu ray player" one ir two years down the line. As for them making it "mandatory" in their console i dont agree with. 9.whatever gb is more than enough with the new compression technology available... hell, i think oblivion was only like 4.2 gbs on the pc. When it comes to blu ray being "forced" on a cosumer when all they want is games i think they are making a mistake. 50gb does not gaurentee better games, it dosnt gaurentee better stories... what it does guarentee is:
1. if a game has a awsome story, it can be longer without a disc swap
2. if a game is crap... it may as well be 50gbs of crap
3. if you like playing your games on a blu-ish disc, you win

Ok, so E3 was a horrible tragedy in a marketing sense... oh well, its not going to "fail" as i suggested in my earlier post, i just dont think its going to do so hot till about 2 years from now.  I was just in a very "WTF!" mood because it was right after i read that im paying for potential, and not blu ray or an awsome hard drive.

maybe ill get a ps3 june 07, maybe not, most likely will

Nerds Log: Wednesday, July 12th 2006

I was play Frogger trial version over and over, because im a cheap b@ast@rd! I receive a mysterious voice message.... mysterious because i didnt catch the names when it appeared.... and it said "DUDE!!! OMG !!!! THERES A FREAKIN MASS EFFECT GAMEPLAY VIDEO ON MARKET PLACE OMG....wanna play uno?"

So i was like "Hey bud take the pills and cool thanks for the info." I went off to download it and was expecting something ive already seen on some website... but holy crap... this trailer simply blew me away.  The trailer was a walkthrough from the E3 06 demo, It featured some character talkity talk scenes and really showed off the character detail.  How would i sum up the character detail and acting? oh its pretty simple... just read the message the mysterious person sent me.

The movements were more life like than anything ive seen in a game so far, the voice acting was extremely well done for a game with no script, and best of all was the character facial expressions... the wince when a gun is pulled, the squinting when something bad is said, the jaw sticking out and the eyes narrowing when the characters get tough.... it was all simply amazing.  I would say the most impressive part of the trailer (this part actually made me laugh at how cool it was...) was this scene where theres a girl with a visor and a helmet that appears, the reflection and detail on her visor, the refraction of light and color ...changy-ness in the lens was just freakin cool.  I was also... oh wait, im suppose to start a new paragraph.

I was also impressed by the combat, it looked very nice with the squad based shooter touch.  The best part of it? you really wanna know? the fact  this game still has a year of development to go.
