that was very good - and man is the concept of 'imaginary graphics levels' spot on in their graphics section.

the graphics part was my favorite part




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I wanted to argue but the proof is undeniable.

Not exactly. We all know that this game won't run on x360 just because Sony won't let that happen. 

The graphics aren't a problem here, since you can just make a game with less graphics (something that won't be extremely noticeable because both platformes are similar in graphics) and more than 1 DVD. Also, nobody proved that Mass Effect 2 is using the full power of the x360, so this Heavy Rain x Mass Effect 2 is useless.

As for 3 and 2, I don't think they are good arguments, they are very relative. Look at the sales for games like Fable 3, Oblivion etc. 

So, yes, the x360 can run Heavy Rain, but maybe not the way it is on the PS3.

And I am using an imaginary way to argue against those facts.



Finally a joke article that was actually funny.

Those articles from them are bad,  I try and avoid them at all costs



LOL,,thats for making me laugh



 

 

This has made my day. I think that Halo Reach will have 156 graphics though. Beat that Heavy Rain!



Lol hilarious.

@Hisiru
Quantam is the IP owner so it would depend on the publishing contract Sony has with Quantam. Tecmo was able to port Ninja Gaiden II after only 1 year even though Microsoft published the game. Maybe Sony has a longer exclusivity period in Quantam's contract to prevent the same sort of thing from happening. MS probably didn't care to extend the exclusivity period for NG2 because they figured that the game was too hardcore to have the same appeal as Gears and Mass Effect (which they may have locked up with for the entire trilogy and a period after that). That said, Heavy Rain is unlikely to have much more appeal than Ninja Gaiden II really.  NGII almost sold a million worldwide. Looking at pre-orders now, Heavy Rain might not sell close to a million.



the Article is obviously dodging the real Answer:

"because it doesn't have legs"



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
