Except PS3 has one core while 360 has three.

Dont even say that the SPU are cores because there not and all 6 SPUs added up (one disabled for background function) equal 3.2 ghz which is just one of the 360's cores.

@ Garnett

8 processors on the PS3, each of them clocked 3.2 Ghz. But that's off topic, let's keep that for another thread. If you want I can send you some scientific articles.

The Liberal Democrats analogy is a bad one, because they got pretty much everything they wanted. Which isn't exactly a terrible thing.

I actually would get upset, Ratchet series to me are the pinnacle of Insomniac's accomplishments. I love the Ratchet series, and refuse to have any other dev handle them!

Both Garnett and Mike are so uninformed and biased it's not even funny.

The Ps3 SPUs are very different than the Xbox 360 CPUs. The Xbox 360 has 3 CPUs, while the Ps3 has 1 CPU and  7 SPUs. The Xbox's CPUs process all of the data individually; 1 core processes some, 1 core processes some, and the last core processes some. The GPU is also superior, which brings the Xbox 360 coding on par with PC coding, which every developer is used to.

The Ps3 SPUs on the other hand work like normal cores, but they're not as powerful. The Ps3 CPU DISTRIBUTES all of the data and information for each 3.2 GHz SPU to handle. That's 7 SPUs. A game like Uncharted 2 would have used 1 of the SPUs to process the polygons, another SPU for draw distance, another one for water detail, etc etc.

The reason the 360 is almost maxed out is because it's like coding for a computer that will never upgrade. The Ps3 isn't maxed out yet because no one's ever made a gaming system that uses SPUs. SPUs are used mostly in batch processing, for servers and other, complex things. Using SPUs is a new and unique style of coding.

Yep, Nintendo has done such a good job courting developers to they develop exclusively for their platforms, I don't understand why more haven't made the jump !

/sarcasm off

LOL

Pachter thinks that RTS (REAL TIME Strategy) games are Singleplayer and TURN BASED. Why are we debating his comments ?


If I must respond though, It'll simply be with that I hope the new game is a zombie game or a move fps...

Or resistance 3 with nathan back as the main char .. but a true sequal to resistance 2. Ofcourse the genre would change a bit then.. but it would indeed be interesting. (i've purposely avoided spoilers.)

Not a PS3 owner, but something I wanted to chime in about here.

The only reason this is coming up is because what Bungie did. Anybody that falls into that '2nd party' category and is obviously a talented developer is going to have questions and comments like them thrown there way now.

omg... Really mikeb? Im not even gonna argue with you. 8 processors....

OT- Pachter is right, they should of went MP.
