Maybe a driver here, maybe an optimization there, but nothing really stellar. People used to think that the Cell's would just be used to give a little more boost, and that the PPO would do everything, but then people are realizing that they can use the spu's to do just about anything, wasn't the original idea behind FFXIII to use 2 of the 5 available SPU's to build character models before feeding it to the GPU? Then someone made them capable of forming advanced A.I., etc etc, people to this day are still figuring out how do to AMAZING things with the tech :P I just feel because the 360's so simple, 3 general purpose cores, unified memory, blah blah blah, it's just so much easier to utilize, so much more open, that whatever problems that might have been difficult to figure out, will have a very mundane solution, boring in, boring out :( |
Such amazing stuff that they can apparently also run it on the 360 using it's arichetecture.
For me it just sounds like trying to reinvent the wheel so far.
Some people will like to use a new wheel, most people will be far happier with the old wheel when it can do aproximitly the same thing, with much less effort.
It really depends what you find fun. The work of doing it. Or the result of doing it.
If what is fun for you is seeing what you've made... why put way more resources towards making a product that's equal or slightly better, when you could instead focus those resources towards a second project.
