GTA 4? That's the game in lower resolution on the PS3, right? It's HD on the 360, but not HD on the PS3. CoD 4 looks very similar on both systems. I didn't notice much of a difference myself, except that they both looked like shit compared to the PC version. I don't know about Burnout, but if you look at Madden 08 it's very obvious that the 360 version looks and plays better. Same with I'm not a dev, not for high end games anyhow, but I do understand the architecture of the Cell (I developed a pipelined processor while earning my computer science degree) and I understand game engines (developed one of those, too). You can find plenty of devs who will say, "the PS3 is more powerful" or "the 360 is more powerful." The only real area of contention is the Cell and Xenon, as its accepted (and simply a fact) that the 360 has more fill rate and they have about the same amount of memory (small advantage to the 360 here). And Cell vs Xenon is not a simple discussion because they cannot be directly compared. The ultimate answer is that the Cell is very fast for some things, but not others, whereas the Xenon is quite fast for most things. Again, compared to modern processors they're both fairly slow, but not nearly as slow as the GPUs in each of those systems. They're both video game toys, sure. Neither is a super powerful system -- we're already 3 years into the "Next generation" of games, and already PCs can mop the floor with either of the systems handily and they're struggling to live up to the promise of HD gaming. But, whatever, take offense that I suggested the 360 toy is about equivalent with the PS3 toy, except for some minor differences. |
GTA may be a lower resolution on the PS3, but you can't deny the people saying it has a slight edge on the PS3. At a lower resolution, it is upscaled well enough on the PS3 to look good.
Did you seriously just bring up Madden? Nevermind, I thought it was obvious why that game looked worse on the PS3. In earlier games, the PS3 version would usually end up inferior because they were simply ported. In recent games like DMC4, COD4, Burnout, etc...I believe they have been developing both versions at the same time instead of simply porting. At least that's what I heard about DMC4...and I think COD4 too. Anyway, both versions turn out very similiar this way. If the 360 is going to be the lead platform and they're going to port it to the PS3...of course it's going to be superior on the 360.
Anyway, Kojima said MGS4 would be the last MGS(not the last MG)...but if he's lieing I think it might be possible. Same for FF, but I think it would more likely go to a Nintendo console before a Microsoft one. That's just what I think, could easily be proven wrong. And I don't even have to think about GT, that's and obvious answer.
