Jason Booth, a game developer who has worked on both Guitar Hero games and Rock Band, has posted some interesting comments on his blog regarding "PS3 misconceptions and spin."

"I read various game forums from time to time, and often see gamers complaining about 'lazy ports' to the PS3. They often mention how the PS3 is the most powerful game console and blame developers working on the console for doing a bad job. Sony has all of these people duped by impressive marketing spin... ports to the PS3 will never be as good as their 360 counter parts, and ...most PS3 exclusives will likely continue to suck," he says.

 

Lol his games are likely to continue to suck.

 

Anyways his full of bullshit. Look at it's exclusives. Hes completely forgetting the processor because it's usually not used in graphical applications. And i also think in general that's the biggest issue. Sony is one of the few companies that uses the cell for everything, while a lot of developers just try to dump data over in a regular manner.

 

This is what santa monica is doing with God of War 3.

I'm going to quote myself for the guys who said he was speaking the truth. You musth have missed my last post where it shows how the spus also renders for the gpu. Thers a link for a full presentation on how santa monica makes their ps3 game(gow3) ... I got it from squilliams thread on the subject. It's quite interesting.

 

Complex stuff, but, from what I understand, it shows that the ps3 is more powerful

 

 

If that is what you "understand" you don't really understand at all ...

What it essentially says is that before they took advantage of the SPEs the framerate was dramatically worse than when they took advantage of the SPEs.
