I've seen the tech demo where they shoot at the car and it breaks apart, but I've seen a similar tech demo on the 360 (XNA) where they crash the car into a wall and it deforms in real-time.
I still don't buy it, but thanks to Kreiger and Spore, I see it as a possibility in the future.
From a business perspective, throwing in Blu Ray into the PS3 is a brilliant move. Not only will it allow them to inflate the install base, but it'll help them conquer the medium war. Two birds with one stone my friend, two birds with one stone.
The difficulty in developing for the system will...
I wasn't confused with Qonfused (HAH!), but just surprised in his expectations from next generation. Taking a look at all future games, I don't see any that will do any of the things you mentioned. To me it seems a lot of developers are just getting bigger with their worlds, but keeping the same...
I think it all comes to the SPEs and how well theyre utilized. The problem is that it takes a lot of talent to use all of the SPEs at full force at all times. Still, I don't see why they can't just use stream processing for the AI/physics.
Holy **** you guys have really high expectations for next generation. The fact that the games are all using high-res textures, running in 720p and pushing more polys then ever will prevent anything like what you described from happening.
Its all possible, but you're going to have to cut down...
Are you talking about the controller? I honestly don't know what you mean when you speak about "physics". AGEIA retracted their statements about the 360 being the weaker in the physics department and clarified that the tests didn't test the capacity of the systems hardware.

Gabe is a noob when it comes to console development. Only reason he touched the Xbox was because of its PC-like architecture and development environment.
Kojima has already stated that the hardware is difficult to work with, but just like the PS2 hardware, people will eventually master it and...
In 3 years the PS3 will make Gabe Newell look like a complete noob. All I see is a man who is too lazy to learn new hardware - even if it is difficult.
That sounds pretty cool.
I've had dreams where I'm walking on the sidewalk towards my bus during winter and theres an ice patch in front of me and I slip on and I can never regain my balance and I keep slipping.
Kids have always had distractions but they're becoming shinier and shinier every year, but heavy discipline from the parents can counter that all by itself.
She'd probably be interviewed by a lot of people and hailed as a hero. I don't think any country, be it Iran or the US, that looks positively upon rape. The issue stems from the fact that she is considered a second or even third rate citizen in her country who killed a first rate citizen.
