Didn't realise it was that post, so let me clarify: Yeah, the 360 has few true exclusives and natal is essentially an eyetoy, as in a device which captures motion via a camera. As for the 360's limits, EA clamimed to have reached it in June, & Bungie also claim that Reach is as far as the 360 will go. Plus more and more multiple DVDs are being seen which devs do not like as it hikes up production cost. Yes the GPU's are very similar, with the 360's having the leading edge, BUT the Cell is able to also act as a GPU, so the PS3 comes out on top, something with many devs have said time & time again. Because of this I'd be dubious about anyone claiming that the game with the best graphics would appear on the 360. True that 360/PC titles will cause a spike, but I'd expect it to not be enough considering the difference, though I'll have to wait and see. Plus with 360/PC games able to run on now cheap components, the spike I'd presume would be getting lower & lower as games are cheaper on PC than 360. Therefore I'd expect people who had the option between 360 & PC to choose PC for the possible titles. Arc and Natal essentialy are mysteries in terms of sales so hard to say anything about them, but the likes of Natal has been seen before in the not so succesful Eyetoy. As for ME2 graphics, yeah the character models are really good, especially for Shepard - high textures, high poly count and the works, but the killer seems to be little or no AA and little enviroment detail, and a heavy realiance on textures. Still it looks a hell of a game, just not the "bezt grfix ev0r" which was my point to whoever borught it up and that quickly degraded into my point about not expecting the 360 to have the best console graphics due to its hardware. |
1. Ok, now we can agree, even though Natal is to the eyetoy like what Arc is to the Wiimote (advanced, in other words). As for EA saying it, well BioWare said there's room for improvement in graphics. Halo: Reach, you are correct. DVD's, also true, as one of the Houser brothers complained about its limitations.
2. PC and Xbox 360 GPU's. Not PS3 and Xbox 360. If you read my responses to TheMarkness, you'll see I also agree the PS3 has a higher peak in power.
3. Agreed.
4. While it probably isn't the best indicator of media attention, compare the youtube views of videos of Natal and Arc (search playstation motion controller). Huge difference. Like you said, it's all about the software and price. Eyetoy's software wasn't killer, nor was it strongly advertised.
5. Agreed.
Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!
Kojima: Come out with Project S already!
