If they have not increased the texture details BluRay will not make a difference that is correct.

The 360 version was there before, the 360 version fits on a DVD, the PS3 version uses the same textures --> BluRay will not be an advantage.

 

Texture detail has nothing to do with size of bluray. Video RAM can hold 256 megs of texture detail on a ps3 and about the same on the 360. Unless you want much more frequent load time on the ps3...

You fail to understand the concept streaming.One of the better features of BR is that is can access the disk at any moment even with the game running and as its a single track it can load whatever new texture info required.

 

I do understand the concept of streaming. PS3's bluray doesn't have nearly fast enough streaming speeds to show texture detail significantly higher than 360 games. Infact its much slower due to the slower (but constant) read speed of bluray...hence why most textures are loaded on the hard drive with installs.

 

 

I present to you Uncharted, which still has the best texture resolution of any ps3 title to date, as well as no loading and no installs.  R&C also has really nice textures with almost no loading and a tiny install (just a ~hundred megabyte cache), and I expect Killzone 2 and other SCEA/SCEE titles to follow suit.

Blu-Ray's advantages don't have to show themselves through resolution alone.
