Around the Network

this is a pointless forum topic... why compare graphics for games that were ported over???? Let me ask you this question are the original xbox graphics better than the 360s??? i ask you that because when the 360 1st came out its graphics were not that good.. they were so close to the origianl xbox.. please people stop with the BS.. how many times are we gonna see this post??? At least wait a little while longer

They are very similar but theres one huge differance, Cell. It can do what 360 cant and this is why PS3 is said to be more "powerfull". Problem is most developers have no clue how to push the Cell. (no worries some do) You want PS3 superiority, see Lair or Uncharted. Lair does what Gears did but with environments 20 times bigger. and um a xbot site is not a good place to find out whats better.

yea i think this is pretty pointless aswell since graphics are only a part of a game, so compare the games overall and not just the graphical setup.

 I thought his post was a hardware comparison and not specific games comparisons?  Was something edited out of the original post? 

Regardless, where does the cell and xbox cpu fit into the number equation and what about how the reported huge benefits offloading of tasks to areas in the cell?

The reason I ask is that the Saturn, at the time, appeared to be better hardware than the competitors at the time.  The Dual Hitachi CPU architecture was touted as capable of splitting tasks and accomplishing more and avoiding bottlenecks and such.  While Sega was clearly able to take advantage of the hardware with VF2 (arguably the best looking game to have graced the console), technically it was an SOB to develop for and quite a number of developers just used one of the two CPUs to ease development.  It didn't turn out so well for the Saturn in the long run and interestingly, the same arguments were thrown out there that are being said today of the PS3... Just wait until developers figure out how to use the hardware.  Hopefully they do, and soon, and prove that the PS3 is capable of what it is being touted as.  If, however, they go down the same road that developers did with the Saturn, games will be written for ease of port between the 360/PS3.  In that world, price and software library wins.



I hate trolls.

Systems I currently own:  360, PS3, Wii, DS Lite (2)
Systems I've owned: PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, Saturn, 3DO, Genesis, Gamecube, N64, SNES, NES, GBA, GB, C64, Amiga, Atari 2600 and 5200, Sega Game Gear, Vectrex, Intellivision, Pong.  Yes, Pong.



it wasn a games comparison but trust me ive been apart of this site awhile now and im tired of seeing those number comparisons.. its about the games now.. i think you would agree with that... let the games do the talking to which is better.. lets start a topic on that... which someone already did if you look down below
