Julian Eggebrecht (factor 5): "there is simply more vision at Sony"

[QUOTE="loco145"]

“Well, 1080p? Well, we don’t know about that. Real high-definition? You know what? Let’s do 720p for the games, mostly.” And they’re doing catch up right now, and they’re doing it quite cleverly. But nevertheless, in the early days you had that as a vibe of the system. What was a killer for me was no HDMI. We had huge fights with Microsoft basically going back and forth about, “Please, please, please, please put an HDMI port in there, because only then can you really see the graphics,”

[\QUOTE]

Wow, this guy sounds just like most of the fanboys on here.  I didn't know that I can't really see the graphics with my 720p HDTV.  I guess it really isn't even a "real" HDTV because it isn't 1080p. 

People start talking like this, I ignore.

I think Reggie from Nintendo said it right.  HD is still early for this gen - only about 19% of current US homes have a HDTV.  He basically said HD will be for the next generation of consoles.

yeah....blurred vision....haha :P

I agree that Sony has way more vision than MS.  MS has never in the history of their existence been known for their fresh, original ideas.  Their strength has always been with taking other people's ideas and bundling with Windows.  Everything they do that isn't windows connected has failed.

Having said that...the problem with SOny right now is their vision is too far into the future when gamers want something more imediate.  It doesn't do gamers today  much good if Sony released a console with plans for 10 years down the road.  Especially if Sony expects people to pay a huge cost today for promises tomorrow.

Basically, Sony has a better "vision" but seems to have been blind to what is right in front of their noses.

isn't it weird when devs make good comments on 360 and bad-mouth PS3 you guys are like "ZOMG 360 pawns PS3" but when a developer makes great comments on PS3 and bad-mouths 360 you assume they are dumb and ridiculous.

STOP your fanboyism

once a console fails to meet expectations you start hearing words like "potential" and "vision"....

Wow... That guys sounds like a total noob. I rather have VGA support (360) then not have it (PS3). Even if you don't have a HDTV you can use your PC monitor. VGA > HDMI

Whats the big deal with 1080p this gen...? Most games in 1080p look like garbage compared to 720p games. 2010 is the gen that should focus attention to 1080p. Not now.

No wonder PS3 games are garbage. They got the worst Dev's.

Those are ridiculous comments... who cares about 1080p and HDMI when hardly anyone actually utilizes these things? And Sony has more vision on the online front?!?! I can't believe a DEVELOPER is saying this. Considering how crappy Lair is starting to look, I can't believe they're bringing up the 1080p part. Maybe they should've left it at 720p and worked on better detail instead of higher res.MyopicCanadian

You don't care because your consoles doesn't supportit!!!!:roll:

And try reading the freaking article.........FUTURE!!!!

Eh. I think he's a little wrong with the whole "real HD" and "you need HDMI" . . .it sounds like he got that right out of a Sony executive handbook. Also. . .what's with his analog comment? Microsoft confirmed that there's digital out on a 360. His "motion sensing on the PS3" comment was pretty laughable as well. Other than being grossly wrong on a few points (most of the interview) it's good to hear he's still on good terms with Nintendo.mythrol

So  now you know more than the developer.....:lol:

Yeah same for me, i wasnt interested in HD before but with 360 i felt it was needed to get HDtv. Btw nice brand, i got 32" bravia too :)

Sony DOES have more vision.  Haven't you heard?  The PS3 has 4D gaming!!!!!!!
