| Mendicate Bias said: Many games before UT3 used the unreal engine on the PS3 so it's not fair to call it the first. Secondly isn't that just a testament to how good of a develepor Epic is and not to the architecture of the PS3? Chrono the argument being made by many PS3 fans is that PS3 is so far ahead of the 360 in terms of hardware that in a years time PS3 games will be unequivecaly better looking and running than 360 games. They would have you belive that the PS3 is just as powerful as today's cutting edge pc's. That is just plain false, hell the difference between the PS3 and 360 isn't even comparable when looking at the difference between the xbox and ps2. Say you were faced with two rooms filled with gold, the one on the left has 100 lb of gold while the room on the right has 110 lb of gold in it. To get to the gold on the left you simply have to jum over a small pit. To get to the room on the right you have to run through hot coals, dodge poison filled arrows and then fight a dagon. Is that extra 10 lb of gold really worth all the effort?

1.) Yeah a bunch of games ran the UT engine, but man they were heinous xD It wasn't until Sony helped out that the engine became what you would call "presentable", and it was Epic's studio making the PS3 game, not just a licensed version of the engine :D
2.) Oh I hear you on this one, people think the PS3 is lightyears beyond the 360, and well I know it's definitely above it considering how Sony works, it's not lightyears or even another "gen" away. I consider it's technology a good leap beyond that of the 360, but it'll take some time to really see it :P and I understand this. The 360 in my opinion focused on being powerful very early on, and using that to give it it's edge. Sony on the other hand, factored in an insane learning curve, and is currently working with all it's internal studio's to share technology, because they have a whole lot to learn... It'll benefit in the long run, only ok for short term.
And until the PS3 establishes more of a userbase, games will probably just continue to be ported down to it :) And reasonably so. (well not reasonably, but financially I think it makes sense).
And just personal opinion, I think the room on the right has about 140 lbs of gold ;)
