Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Why is there soo much negativity in any 360 related thread?

Its depends who start the thread...



Around the Network

If you want to get what the op was was talking about take a look at most of the Allan Wake threads. The game by many reveiwers has been talked about as being very good to play and also a tech marvel with graphics up there as one of the best.
To read some of the peoples posts in the forums you would beleive it has blah graphics with shity game play. Had the game been a sony only then the threads would have a much been much diff with maybe 1 or 2 bitter bad comments instead because its a 360 game 50 to 60% of the games talk is people talking smack about it or people pointing out how stupid the people talking smack are.

it is the typical problem we are mentioning

nobody is claiming Alan Wake sucks or has shitty gfx.
But some people are claiming that alan Wake is the best piece of gfx around on console while the destructoid preview "only" syas that alan Wake gfx are superior to any 360 game and can only compete with the best PS3 exclusive.
If people will not make bullshit claim/thread, then there will be no problem ...

 



Time to Work !

CGI cryteck never said the ps3 was more powerful or they didnt in any interveiw I saw infact what I remeber them saying is how both were strong in there own rights

No its not go to the actual threads there are people on there bashing both teh game play and saying how bad the graphics are. Read the threads first please before commenting.

Also note I said one of the best not the best, since in my opinion you really dont have a game that has THE best graphics because there is so many factors that come in to play(one that everyone seems to not consider as graphics but art style and how well the world they are showing is brought forth)

I higly doubt that rnadom troll are able to make these thread derail.

I do believe that those thread get worst BECAUSE the OP is mainly, explicitely or not,
 about "who has the biggest one" and it is an awfull start for a thread.



Time to Work !

For anyone who's actually played it, how big is Crysis...HDD-wise?

That's the whole problem. Because here on VGC and other websites like GT etc, the only claim that is not bs is that the PS3 is better than the X360, and if you don't agree you're gonna get flamed.

Essentially all you need to say is this. For years and years the multiplatform developers have said that the systems are essentially equals in terms of performance and equal performance is what has been yielded out of the machines. A game like Battlefield Bad Company 2 pushes the PS3 harder computationally than Killzone 2 and yet both systems are running fine side by side.

Whats the exclusive difference?

A. Sony spends more money.

B. Exclusives are ahead of the pack due to the exclusive attention given to one system, the programmers not being divided over more than one platform essentially.

Never before have two consoles been so identical.

  • Same memory quantity.
  • Same basic CPU instruction set
  • GPUs designed to meet the same DirectX specification
  • Similar number of transistors overall

Xbox 360 = PS3 = Xbox 360 = PS3 computationally. They are the HD twins for a very good reason.

key word in your OPINION

"A game like Battlefield Bad Company 2 pushes the PS3 harder computationally than Killzone 2"

"GPUs designed to meet the same DirectX specification"

Sony uses Open GL not DirectX

that's why the xbox is called the xbox

"They are the HD twins for a very good reason."

that was the Media calling them that they are far from being  twin's

Actually the RSX is the closest current generation GPU to a desktop part. RSX = ~7800GTX which is a DirectX 9.0c part. What Sony uses for their API has nothing to do with the specification the GPU was designed to meet. Xenos = Somewhere between 19xx and 29xx, designed by the same team which did the awesome RV770.

How are they not twins? They are cut from the same cloth both in terms of the GPU they use and the CPU they use. Sacred 2 developers ported Direct3D onto the PS3! Both CPUs use the same instruction set... Xenon was a derivative of Cell development, fraternal rather than identical twins.
