"Madden NFL 06 2005 Draft Commercial Preview - Madden NFL 06 Previews for Playstation 3"

And? It's a PS3 hub, title's correct.

There should be the same article with a different title in the 360 hub.

"Madden NFL 06 2005 Draft Commercial Preview - Madden NFL 06 Previews for Xbox 360"

Madden 2006 (unless they want to release it next summer) won't even exist for PS3. Why give that version front page exposure over Xbox 360 which WILL exist and is coming very soon.

That's the equivalent of Rockstar announcing GTA:SA and GS putting up a page for Xbox and posting it on the front page 6 months before the PS2 version comes out. Only difference would be Xbox is getting GTA:SA.
 
So now Gamespot are biased Sony fanboys? Weren't they biased PC fanboys last week whom never give a PS2 exclusive a 9.0 or above?

They've always been PS2 leaning as far as I could tell. I don't really care but this is just so blatant I don't see how anyone can deny it.

They finally give Maddon 2006 front page exposure and what system do they link it to? Come on. :lol :lol :lol

...

Well they don't have the 360 hub yet it seems. I tried 360/ xbox360/ xbox2/ xenon and nothing worked.

Did you try '"x360", like this: http://www.gamespot.com/x360/index.html

Then again, how funny would it be if Sony broke EA off to set this all of up just to pull the rug from underneath MS. Get people riled up for next gen Madden only to say "Only on PS3".

That would OWN! :lol :lol
I am prophetic
 
Borys said:
:O
Is that true? MS bought exclusive rights to Madden? When did that happened?

I think he means, Madden 2006 cant be released for PS3 because by the time PS3 comes out it will be 2007 time :lol
 
were there any early renders for this generation of systems that havnt been achieved yet. i think resident evil 4, metal gear 3 and chronicles of riddick have lived up to all expectations for this gens graphics, excluding the toy story comment
 
you you xbox fanboys are borderline paranoid. As much as you dont want it to be, PS3 is a much bigger deal than fringe consoles like Revolution and Xbox 360.
It makes sense to direct next-gen traffic to the PS3 page.

Madden 2006 might be a bit late in Summer 2006 don't you think?

Thanks guys for pointing the obvious.
Damn, I'm kinda slow today :/

Razoric said:
You couldnt even find the xbox 360 page without someone finding it for you. The casual gamer will see Madden 2006 PS3 and that's it.

See above. I can't think clearly today :lol
 
But Madden 06 is not coming out for the PS3. At all.
It seems that way. But since noone has an official release date, anything goes, I guess. I mean, MS even are still being tight lipped about their release window. It's always the grapevine that we hear about these launch date details.

I also don't even think we know anything substantial about XBox 2 at this point. Almost nothing about it's hardware is officially confirmed. I could comfortably say that I know about the same what will go into PS3 as I know about Xbox 2 hardware for example.

were there any early renders for this generation of systems that havnt been achieved yet.
Of course. The pre-rendered pictures/footage of some games has not been achieved. I remeber the Gamecube Metroid footage as well as that nature demo. Also at least one screen of RRV comes to mind, which was obviously pre-rendered.

Given that both XBox and PS hubs host the Exact Same article, it could very well just be an error as to which is linked on the front.

For that matter neither console has a confirmed release date of any kind so why should they act like they know better?

oh...carry on... :D Umm...yeah, any word on the renders/screens? I'm sure you was aware the pics were renders rather than in-game, why just not tell us? We are GAF we deserve better :lol

This is just obvious bias, it's plain as day.

Also, when the links to the frontpage initially went up, they were linked to the X360 section, but that only lasted an hour or so. Perhaps the site editor(kasivin) decided that needed to change.
 
umm, why on earth should gamespot advertise this (the footage that is) as x360? Just because the game is called M. 2006? What a joke. If the images were rendered on x360 dev kits then you guys would have a point. As it is, they are simply RENDERSSSSSS of what EA claims NEXT GEN (NOT only XBOX 360) madden games will look like. get over it.

You should meet up with Solid / Deepthroat. I think you two would have a nice chat.

(He's the guy who has a frickin' statistics on how Gamespot is biased against the PS2, and never scores PS2 exclusives higher than 8.8 or some such crazyness)

Says 06 to me. Unless PS3 launches this fall, it will miss out on Madden 06. Just like PSP missed out on Madden 05.

I got it earlier so let me explain this to you.

M. 2006 might not be released on PS3 EVER. That's false advertising.

A much prettier & better M. 2007 on the other hand... :)
 
So freakin what? If people want to see pictures of madden 06, they should go over n check out the xbox/ps2 sections of the site. As it stands, there is NO OFFICIAL release date stating that madden o6 will hit x360 from EA. And again, who cares, you want gamespot to give hype for xbox 360 for RENDERS pumped out by EA? lol

That label is the only problem with the Gamespot story, and I don't see how it makes the site biased. EA has only said the commercial represents what a next generation Madden game will look like, so the commercial is valid for both the X360 and the PS3 whether its the '06 or '07 version.

EA has said their game will look a lot better than what they're showing.

What they're showing gives people an idea... but not the full picture.
 
ye well microsoft also said their infamous robot demo for the original xbox gives a "real impression". Didn't turn out to be the case. Sony said the ps2 would render hollywood quality cg real time.... didn't happen. What gives you the impression that EA is exempt from BS?

Raven/Rex was actually a very simple demo. You had 2 high quality models with nothing else around it.

Raven/Rex was becoming a game, however it was canned. Remember? Of course not. They had released new pictures in Game informer (iirc) with the updated Raven.

Madden06 will look better than these pictures. I assure you.

So, EA is releasing renders and buying time at the NFL draft for shit and giggles?
 
no, they are doing it for the OBVIOUS reason of hyping their madden FRANCHISE for ALL NEXT GEN CONSOLES.

btw dopey lol, who are u trying to kid? The original Raven was proven to be preRENDERED. Laster pictures came out of what was reported to be real-time, n it looked like trash compared to the renders.

It also had raytraced lighting, probably radiosity too. Surely a piece of cake for Xbox in realtime ;)

Oh what? You mean the NV15 demo? The one which had no pixel shader engine? The one that had 1/4 the geometry power of the NV2a? But hey! It's perfectly alright! People keep passing off a demo done on archaic hardware even by xbox standards as a final piece of code.

They did make a demo that looked almost exactly like the original but in real time... but it was never released because the project was canned. And it's the one you evidently did not see.

Frankly, I don't think anyone has seen that one to the point it can be confirmed.

:lol
 
Of course they are renders. None of the GPUs are done, are they? AFAIK, all dev kits are still incomplete. Well...put 2 and 2 together and you understand why they can't show realtime shots. But I ask again, why would EA need to release renders? They are the only game in town. The models look the same to me in all those shots. The one with Strahan on top of McNabb has temporal blur on his arm, but we've seen temporal blur in this gen. It was a cheap framebuffer hack this gen, which didn't look very convincing. I assume they'll be able to do a better job with it this gen. I'm not saying that shot is realtime, but it's such a marginal difference from that shot to the others that what's the point of harping on it over and over? I can't be the only person that remembers the same thing happening with the first shots of Madden 01. PEACE.
