There is no flamebait here. It is just, as you often mention this point, that i wanted some numbers.
I too think a port should be possible, there is no debate on this this. Just what would you think the settings could be ?
Depends entirely on the developer aims and the state of the game engine. The Cell processor is potentially well more powerful for gaming than even a top Quad core x86 CPU, RAM limitations would mean the devs would have to resort to smart streaming with regard to textures and geometry (from Blu-Ray disc onto the harddrive and from there into memory when needed), audio quality can be top notch 7.1 by applying streaming.
IMO good high end PC to PS3 game port:
- For some graphics setting (effects and such), a PS3 port could be as good or even better.
- Resolution limited to 720p and framerate locked at 30 FPS (console games often need to run at a slower pace in terms of movement anyhow, this to better suit the way games are controlled), this compared to the PC version being able to go much higher. Also more Anti-aliasing on the PC. (but do you need it? I only have a 17 inch flatscreen monitor vs a large screen HDTV)
- Better quality textures on the PC, as games are usually entirely installed on the harddrive (faster supply of data).
- The PS3 can potentially have more action on screen due to the Cell processor and PCs having to take into account the average PC owner's specifications.
- Blu-Ray disc could store more graphics, audio variety and other additional content.
