Forums - Microsoft - When will the 360 be maxed out?

360 is maxed out already, Halo reach is not much different from Halo 3. Developers on 360 only focus on Xenos which already reached its limit year before.

PS3 although has a slightly weaker GPU RSX, the power of the Cell with its 7 SPU has not been fully improvised (its 7!!!, not 2 not 3), u can expect Uncharted 3 to be way better than Unchatered 2.

However, 360 still can have plenty of innovation from Natal. Graphics is not everything, wait for E3

I highly doubt Reach is an indication of the 360's max visual capabilities. We've only seen the multiplayer visuals as well. The most impressive visuals in the series have been in the campaign. Also, it's designed to be 4 player split screen so that may limit the amount of detail developers put into it. Gears of War 2 is another game designed with split screen in mind.

I thought the original Mass Effect was pushing the 360 to its limits. But then I played Mass Effect 2. People will disagree, but I think it has the most detailed graphics on the 360 so far. And I presume Mass Effect 3 will raise the bar.

This is where the Blu-Ray disc really starts to shine, The 360 and PS3 may be on level playing field processor-wise. But because of Blu-Ray and its 25gb per layer disc, PS3 has more potential to make the games bigger, and better looking without compromising the game length/graphics.

I believe that we have been seeing this with recent games, 360 developers often lower the game resolution so they can fit the game onto a 4.5gb per layer disc.

For Example, Alan Wake had the potential to make the resolution 720p, but its assumed either they got lazy (unlikely for a game that has been in development for 4 years) or they couldn't find a way to fit the game onto a single 9gb dual layered disc without shortening the game (thankfully they didn't), so they reduced the game's resolution.

For another example, Final Fantasy XIII, which I think was handled better, Square Enix split the game onto 3 dual-layered discs, although the game's resolution was 576p (instead of the 720p on the PS3 version), the game wasn't drastically different form the PS3 version.

I think in the near future most 360 games will be made on more than one disc.

What size disc is Crysis on?

You clearly havent seen how good Alan Wake looks. The atmosphere is mind blowing.

I have played the game, the lighting and the folige movment and fog are nice i will give you that but the rest is MEH  especially those odd animations.

 

You have played it?  You have a 360?  You got it before it's release date?

ofcourse i have x360, and a ps3 and iam not a fanboy of either, i just like to bash both of them or at least lets say to critisize them on regural bases, i live in the middle east thats how i got my game earlier i am at episode 4 , and just to clarify one thing i like the game alot as a whole

but graphically it's not the best out there

You can just admit you got an modded Xbox 360 lol. The game has been floating around the net for about a week now, tried it out to and it's a really good looking game indeed. Nothing to be ashamed of there, i have 2 360's, one modded and one original. I bought a modded one after i realised i only finished like 1 out of 5 games i bought, so i only buy the games that i really like or with good multiplayer, after i tried them out.

Never. Before any piece of hardware gets maxed out, it will be replaced.
