PS3 games have been long awaited by its fans. With the expected release of
the PlayStation 3 console in November, 2006 approaching fast, gamers are
enthusiastic about the new experience it offers. Sadly though, the new
experience comes together with the PS3 games itself and not the game console
that offers backward compatibility. Ergo, it is the new format of the games that
is much awaited and not the actual player.
Just what does the new format of the PS3 games offer? Well due to its being
written on Blue-Ray Discs, the gaming experience would be parallel to HDTV in
terms of its quality. This is because of the ability of the disc to store 10x as
much data as the DVD. Having the ability to store more data, it means that
programmers are able to incorporate more features that would enable it to
deliver high picture and interactive quality.
Given that, how much quality do we really need to enjoy a game? Gamers in the
early 90s were satisfied with the picture and gaming quality of the popular
Pacman game from Nintendo, the level at which people of today are satisfied with
the quality of their gaming experience has always been in accord with the
developments in technology. PS3 games would expectedly offer picture quality
that is unmatched by any of its competitors.
After PS3 games, then what? Well, one would think that developments in the next
decade would definitely grow at an exponential rate. It would not be
unreasonable to expect that developers would come up with some gaming console
that would enable its users to literally be in the game. Considering that
virtual games are now present, continued research on the technology would
probably yield devices that can be hook to our nervous system, and would
function somewhat like holograms. It is, I guess, only our human imagination
that truly limits what we can come up with in the next couple of decades.
So what are the potential problems that could arise from this advancement in
gaming technology aside the declining academic performance of children? While
PS3 games would definitely give out optimum performance, another aspect that
grows in accordance to developments in technology is the cost.
The production of the game console, which is actually more than just a gaming
console, as well as the PS3 games would most probably be only affordable for the
high-end consumers. That is, during the first two years of production.
Fortunately, the prices always go down after a couple of years. That is the only
time when children, as well as adults in the lower ranks of society are able to
enjoy a magnificent gaming experience. I guess that's how things really work in
this society.
Oh well. But nevertheless, PS3 games and all the others that will come soon will
always be appreciated by the consumers. They would not really manufacture these
things had there been no demand for it, won't they? So enough with the ranting
about its costs. PS3 games and others will remain and will continue to develop.
So long as the technology is available, people will always find ways to apply
them to whatever they could think of.
