Especially since it has the amazing Cell processor which means we PS3 owners should be getting the benefit of having a large library of AAA games to play!! Wrong, only now have we seen game developers actually harness the power of the Cell processor. Like Naughty Dog, Santa Monica studios, and Polyphony Digital. Now I know that the Cell processor isn't an easy thing to crack but three and a half years?! really? Does it really take that long for game developers to actually offload everything from the graphics card to the Cell processor. The benefits of doing so can be seen in games such as Uncharted 2 and that only took a 1+ year to build. So Forum, what are your thoughts? Do you thing that other game developers have been too lazy to understand the Cell, or is it because of something else? |
Ratchet & Clank TOD (2007), Heavenly Sword (2007), Motorstorm (2007) Gran Turismo 5: Prologue (2008) MGS4 (2008) Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (2007), Resistance 2 (2008), Killzone 2 (Feb. 2009) are just some examples of exclusive games that make a very good use of the Cell. Some of them are more expensive than others, sure, but what the hell 3.5 years you're talking about?
There are plenty of games that's given us a very good taste of what the PS3 is about since year 1. Of course you'll see games with a bigger BUDGET (KZ2, GT5, GOW3) and TIME (KZ2, GT5, GOW3) and EXPERIENCED staff (Uncharted 2, Resistance, Ratchet) doing better and more amazing things, but that's has nothing on the first batch of exclusive games we got in the within the first 18-20 months of the PS3's existance.
