    PS3 demos confirmed as fakes




    PlayStation 3's GPU (graphics processing unit) has yet to be finished, according to nVidia's chief financial officer Mary Burkett.

    Burkett, speaking at the recent JP Morgan Technology Conference in San Francisco, explained that the chip - currently codenamed RSX - is still in production. As such, it couldn't have been used to generate any of Sony's supposed realtime PS3 tech demos that were shown at the company's pre-E3 conference last week.

    Nice snow job at E3 Sony!

        Alot on conflicting info going around, and I don't know who to believe. Phil Harrison clearly stated during the Sony press conference that the demo of the gas station exploding at night was Cell and RSX working together. Same was said during the Unreal 3 demo, except the guys from Epic said it was only at about 60-70% power. Then there's another article implying that the RSX has already taped out. I wonder, if the demos were running on the Nvidia G70, even though the dev kits consist of two 6800 U's in SLi. I do think some of the stuff shown is possible, but not until mid-late in the PS3 life cycle.

        Wow, pretty sad Gamesradar this was clearly stated long before E3, that the X360 games are currently running on alpha kits.

        Where have you guys been?

            I never once said any of it wasn't possible, and feel free to go through my post history.

                  Calm down, Microsoft faked a bit too :P

                  Did you read the article?

                  Gamesradar says both companies faked it. *shrugs* . It doesn't even matter right now. By September we will be seeing some REAL footage

                    The demos at E3 that Sony has shown were real.

                    They were made with the use of the Cell processor using video rendering software.

                    Pretty amazing what the PS3 can do without even using it's GPU!

                          well ill believe it when i see it, they were tech demos, to me thats not real no matter how much they try and say it is. the producer for killzone even said himself it was what their TRYING to achieve, i think thats pretty reliable.

                            FIGHT NIGHT AND UNREAL, NOT KILLZONE! The Unreal demo even had the guy moving about through the stage so I don't see how you can argue with that being real...

                              Well this is old news then, we already know Killzone was said to be fake.

                              It's just the topic said "PS3 demos (plural)" so it kinda raised a few eyebrows. Sounds like people try to make it seem Sony is pure BS and no one should like them at all
