I don't believe it, Cliff B is just one to say its about maxed out, In 5 years they would of made a engine to look better, Mass Effect 2 looked good but still not a top contender among the 2 HD consoles. People need to face it, The 360 is a great gaming system, but its not going to pull off PS3 top notch graphics, it just wont, it does not have the technology in many ways, Thats not taking anything away, Mass Effect 2 is on 360 and its probably my favorite game all time, Graphics were good enough. Thats were the 360 stands.

 

Yes, but 'maxxing it out' just means all it's available resources are used - not that they are used most effectively. For instance, I can put the pedal to the medal of my car and max it out... and hit 30mph... but the problem is that I'm in first gear. All of these people that says they have "maxxed it out" are using engines not optimized for the 360, and not using the EDRam at all.

The fact is, the PS3's first party titles have been given *huge* budgets and development times, the types that very few 360 games are on par with. Given the kind of time/money put into something like KZ2, it could absolutely have a game that can stand up to the PS3 titans graphically. But games like that are a poor investment... heck, KZ2 sold 2m copies and would have only turned in a meager talent. Spending that kind of time and money is rarely worth it, financially. But whereas Sony HAD to have the graphics mantle, 360 has plenty of it's own merits it's focussed on.
