| Lord Flashheart said: @Ping The difference is they aren't saying this game can only run on our machine. Saying it will be a huge leap is fine. At no point does it mean it can't be done on the PS3. PS devs say all the time x game can only be run on PS3 with nothing to back it up other than a bit of lighting here and there. If a 360 dev said this game can only run on the 360 I wouldn't believe him. Any game designed from the ground up can run on either console. Yes to the guy who said he's pleased with the SPU efficiancy. There's nothing wrong with that comment. It's not flammatory or part of the fanboy console wars. He's not saying it can't run on the 360 so he's not out to cause trouble. If only more devs could make comments like that. Do you see the difference between saying it runs better on x console to saying x console could never run this game by someone who has never programmed for said machine? As for the cryengine comment. According to everyone you won't see any difference but you keep taking that "slightly better" to mean a resounding win for the PS3 if it makes you feel better. I'll sit here waiting to see the first game to be released using it. Hey maybe he's a "lazy dev"? ;P |
The actual problem is that too many people get pissy when someone says one machine is more powerful than the other. Carmack says the PS3 is more powerful than the 360, as well as other developers. Frankly there is no good reason not to believe them as I'm pretty sure they would have been bollocked for lying if this wasn't the case.
The only reason this thread ended up into 360 vs PS3 was because someone claimed that ME2 is the best graphical game on the consoles. When it comes down to it, it's hard to believe that a non-exclusive title would be the best looking game on the consoles, and on the weaker of the two machines. It's simple logic. The only reason the fanboy console wars exist is because people somehow think the power of the console makes it & it's games more or less enjoyable console, which of course is not true/doesn't logically follow.
PS. "Our machine"? No, it's not your machine, it's the console of a faceless corperation, like all of them. Thinking otherwise will just lead to insecure arguments over essentially nothing.
