Gravity: 1) seriousness or importance; dire consequence. 2) solemnity or dignity of manner. 3) natural force of attraction exerted by a celestial body drawing objects toward its center. 4) a peculiar glitch encountered in the physics engine of Resistance: Fall of Man.

We're not sure if Webster would accept the fourth definition, but it still holds true. mik3yl3 sent us a link to his footage of a strange phenomenon in RFoM's co-op mode. Unless he was able to get a hold of Insomniac Games' version of Samus' Hi-Jump boots, there's no way that this was faked. There's no other explanation for it: it's a glitch.



Even though he comments that the bluetoothed controller was "freaking out on player 2" a few minutes prior to this jumping spree, we highly doubt that it's a hardware glitch. Because even if it were, the physics engine of the game wouldn't have allowed that to happen. And so, we're only led to believe that the root of this glitch is the engine itself or some warped piece of code. But glitch or not, it still looks fun being able to break free from the shackles of gravity.

whoever in that vid made the most homosexual comment EVER about the 360.....its actually a FACT that the 360 will do better than ps3 and has better harware. FTPS3

It will do better, but does not *technically* have better hardware. Also, "better" is a value word +/

I think you need to go back to elementary school to figure out the difference between fact and opinion.

It is in no way a fact the 360 will do better than the PS3.

not everybody is a fan boy and as we saw, not everybody can read ( "go back to elementary school" ) because you're still there, so just move out of our blog and go talk with the other million of your kind ( the M$ fanboys ).

Man at 1st I thought the fanboys were all equals, but I finally have to see the truth... M$ fanboy are the worst, maybe they sing a song like in walmart so their employees feel like they have friends and all? oh yeah, that's not a song, it's "gamer's points" ( dunno the real name ) lol. they just compare who's the more geek lol ( I'm talking about the fanboys, this does not apply to normal use of M$ systems )

http://dpad.gotfrag.com/portal/story/35372/?spage+1

hey did u actually read that article..........It is total BS.....there are no links except the IBM benchmarks and the interviews of the highly MS biased CARMACK..........the guy who wrote that article doesnt even know what he is talking about...........atleast read that IBM article too.

each SPE outguns any dual core processor by a margin of 2:1.

u have to know waht CELL is????devs like FACTOR 5 are using RSX just for shader purpose.......anything else is done solely by CELL........look at the benchmarks:_

http://www.mc.com/literature/literature_files/Cell-Perf-Simple.pdf

CARMACK is highly biased to MS........and IBM themselves said that XENON was 1/10 as powerful as CELL.

ps3 games are utilizing just 10``20% of its power.

ps3 is 3x as powerful as x360..............unlike dpad i have given various links from UC,MC,MIT,IBM etc........so check them out

@ Spector:
"It is in no way a fact the 360 will do better than the PS3."

Define "better" for me please. Since "better" is subjective, it can't be defined as a fact.

The 360 has *different* hardware, which developers might find easier to use than the PS3, and therefore "better" looking games might appear on it. Unless you've programmed for a PS3 and/or Xbox360, you wouldn't know. It might turn out PS3 is easier to develop for than the 360. Who cares.

"Better" should be applied to the games anyway, rather than the console, since that's what we get our fun out of. There's loads of games which I personally see as "better" than any of the PS3 games out at the moment, but then the 360 has had quite a head start, so that's to be expected.


   Re: Spector - 2006-11-29
 » Better

Well since I was also kind of quoting that other guy I assumed he meant better in the definition of "of superior quality or excellence" since that is the only real definition of better that would apply to the situation with the word being used as an adjective.

I was in no way talking about the programming for the consoles. Infact I have no idea why you brought that up.

All I was trying to say was that the guy before was wrong in his statement and calling it a fact. Yes I also agree that games make the consoles, but if you want to judge PS3 vr. 360 in that manner right now I'd most definately call you shortsighted.

   Re: Regime2008 - 2006-11-29
 » no....

i meant as in hardware, also games too

   Re: Spector - 2006-11-29
 » what you said

"its actually a FACT that the 360 will do better than ps3 and has better harware"

It's not a fact it's your opinion

You say the console overall will do better

You mention the hardware as a sidenote

Hence I was correct in what I said

Also with your little post below your credibility is that of a middle school student

   Re: CSFFlame - 2006-11-30
 » Spector

I hate to break it to you, but unless Sony pulls something out of their hat like a price break or FFXIII, the 360 staying ahead of the PS3 is pretty much guaranteed. Also, trying to correct internet grammar...

   Re: Spector - 2006-11-30
 » Doubt the 360 will

I mostly doubt the 360 will stay on top just because of the fact its doing like the xbox. Making one kind of game well, shooters.

PS3 like PS2 will be well versed in different genres. I mean PS2 is even still putting out great games (God of War 2, Rouge Galaxy) in multiple genres. PS3 has great games in developement for a lot of genres. By this time next year PS3 will offer a lot more variety and that will cause it to triumph like the PS2.

welcome to a world where people use words that don't have the same definition everywhere.

for example, i bet i know a few persecuted people from the 1930's and 40's in germany who would like to beat your ass for pretending to be holier than thou about the word ghetto. just deal with it.

ull NEVER see MS fanboys post ***** that aint tru on ps3 boards.....i c sony *****boys ALL over the MS forums.....first yall said that the ps3 will OWN 360.....now because out vids compared at the same game; which 360 exceeds ur crappy piece of *****, u wanna say "well yall had an extra year to develop on" but then both systems were being developed on for the SAME ammount of time....so wat now? just b gratefull that u can afford a paperweight that is nowhere as superior as the 360. ***** OFF *****s


   Re: Spector - 2006-11-29
 » your a moron

There are the worst of the worst fanboys everywhere. The fact that you are posting anti-sony stuff all over an article about a PS3 games shows your just as bad as the people you mention here.

Also all your swearing shows that your just as bad as those people you mention. There are 360 people on the PS3 boards and PS3 people on the 360 boards. It happens don't think your part of the better solution cause your not. Please just stop flaming and making yourself look less intelligent.

look its PROVEN that 360 has better hardware, sony made it look like they did....on PAPER, but spec wise....360 kills the ps3

   Re: Advertising -


   Re: Spector - 2006-11-29
 » hardware

If theres anything you should learn on these boards its that hardware is something that can be speculated in so many directions its impossible to get a definite answer. Mostly due to the fact numbers on paper are theoretical.

Real benchmarks are also very hard to get because you need to delve into every bit of power the unit has (which isn't easy).

So you waving your hardware flag means very little, and your "360 kills the ps3" statement might be a little premature to make.

 » Alright, everyone relax

Alright, I can tell everyone right now that I am a straight up PS3 fanboy, but I have played 360, my cousin has one, and while I do admit the 360 is a truly excellent system, its that "Sony Soul" I got from PS1 and PS2 that's keeping me with the PS3. All you 360 fanboys know this too; it's that love for the XBOX that has kept you loyal to the Microsoft brand. Your own experiences and beliefs have shaped your choice of console.

My patience, and want for a PS3, and all of you 360 boys out there's loyalty to the 360, is all a result of love, a concept made up by human beings which cannot be described in logical terms.

Every individual's specific desire for a PS3, a 360, or a Wii is something that is up to them. Let the fanboys be who they are, let them bask in their internal glory of their console.

For those of you who comment back to the fanboys, calling them little *****es, ass *****s and what not, you are only proving that you have been affected by them, that you feel a weakness in your choice of console.

If you choose to love the PS3 to death, that's great. If you choose the 360 or the Wii, that's great too. But come on, if other people don't like your choice of console, why the hell should you care? Since when did they control your life?

So jeez, all of you grow up. As far as it goes, there will always be more than one videogame console, and there will always be bickering and bragging, but if you really believe in your console, you wont have to throw a fact sheet or a link to a chart on these boards every time you see someone say "My c0ns0l33 pwnzz your c0n50l333".

 » Good point

That, sir, was a good point to make. However it made you sound like a hippy. But fanboys who have nothing to do than say my console's better suck. Just bring up some valid points, such as the 360's ability to stream music and vidz from a computer I think that's real cool. Then people can come back with the PS3 and say it's a whole computer. The purpose of comments is to talk about the article anyways isn't it? Last I checked the article wasn't titled "PS3 vs Xbox 360" so try talking about the actual article next time people

Ps3 hasnt even been market so long and people are already judgind it. MS fanboys seems to be very interesting about ps3 games and sites, because they comment every news from ps3 and its games. How pathetic is that!! Doesnt they have anything better to do.

 » Side Note

When my friends and I played one the first day we got this game, He respawned in the center of this level that has a huge fan in the center (cant recall the levels name), it pushed him up in the sky so far, all he saw was clouds. He had to walk aways off the fan looking at his radar to fall for about 15 seconds to get back to the level. He almost landed on a airplane.

I love exploring glitches in games and who cares what your playing on the coders get bored and throw a few "Easter Eggs" in to discover. That's the fun of it! Doesn't matter what platform you're on it's all good. I've played Halo2 and glitched super jumps like this, it's fun when you know where they are and how to activate them.

PC with games like UT2004 were always fun glitching in. Battlefield2 wouldn't be as much with glitch n snipe spots! I never see glitching as a bad thing or problem with hardware, cuz in the end nothing is perfect and this is one place where all consoles and PC gaming are equal. Utilizing glitches to your advantage is what it's all about!

Hear that guy laughing? That's the sound of glitching and it's Universal!
