why is everyone arguing over specs from last gen?  if you're going to whine about what system has the best features, at least do so regarding to THIS generation, since the game in question is coming out in THIS console generation.   

I want this game to be developed EXCLUSIVELY for the PS3 because I find games that are made FOR the PS3 run better than multiplatform games on PS3.  a lot of games that are multiplatform (oblivion, Dragon Age, Bioshock) run better on the 360 becuase they were made for the 360 and adapted to the PS3 hardware.  Since Xboxes are prone to breaking, and I use my PS3 for everything, entertainment wise, I prefer playing games on the PS3 to the Xbox...and that works well for me when it's not just a port of a 360 game.  

And since I'd be buying the game for PS3 no matter if it's multiplatform or not, I'm sure it'd play better if it was exclusive.  you know, like LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted, and even Resistance...apparently on a technical scale, Resistance: Fall of Man is better than Halo: Reach.  on a purely technical scale, not anything else.  

Then you have nothing to worry about. This isn't a multi-plat game. If they ever release it on 360, it will be a port of a PS3 game. The PS3 version would look/run better, and only come on 1 disk instead of 10.

You can then abuse all the 360 fans for getting a gimped/inferior version and feel better about yourself.

And you can't really use the Lens of Truth comparison as evidence for anything. PS3 fans constantly accuse that site of being biased pro-360, but any time they give the edge to a PS3 game they're suddenly a reliable source. For all you know they were just throwing PS3 fans a bone, since they're so dishonest and everything.

If you seriously look at both games, neither really outdoes the other. IMO R2 looks better on the surface, but the tech powering Reach is pretty damn powerful regardless and the engine does certain things better.

I will not deny myself. If it goes multi there will be compromises, not only quality but overall everything for both versions to look and feel identical. It is not about money or sales. Nomura's vision of FFv13 will not be perfect in his eyes. Which explains why he is focusing his efforts on one console. If i'm wrong, oh well..

PS2 had a DVD drive, while the GameCube used mini-disks that only held 1.5 GB of data. But only an insane person would argue that the PS2 had better graphics.

Let's not forget that the PS3 has a very limited memory architecture, and only 512 MB of Ram. If it had maybe twice the memory of the 360, people making these claims would have a point. You could have GBs worth of data, but you still have to work with the limited RAM.

And with billion times better CPU


Yeah, and the 360 has billion times better GPU and WAY more RAM. A whole 10MB.

Hence why Xbox 360 is playing catch up with PS3 since 2008


It's the other way around.


Well technically yes the PS3 is playing catch up to catch the 360s sales, but the 360 launched 1 year earlier.

In terms of time though the PS3 is outselling the 360 since launch.


Not really sales but in software, online, DLC, non-gaming apps. Pretty much everything. Considering the systems are 1 year apart, the jump in tech is pretty small.

CPU and SPU > GPU. take a look at some of the ps3 exclusives coming this year.

Have to disagree here, MGS4 won a good amount of best graphics awards.

Granted you're talking about exclusive technical achievement...



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Well since the PS3 launched 1 year later that means there is a 1 year gap.

So let's take the 360 data up until 8th of last year you get: 37,183,739

Now since PS3 launched 1 year later let's use 8th 2011: 46,583,290

EDIT: This is January 8th btw

Dude you don't have to try to convince me, I consider the PS3 a better machine. But it takes a special kind of stupid to say the CPU is a billion times better.

Talk to me when multi-plats are running/looking considerably better on PS3. Several years in and they still generally run/look better on 360. I care more about multi-plats than any exclusives since my gaming library mostly consists of multi-plat games.

Final Fantasy 13.

That is just one I can think of. Since we have nothing else to discuss about, have fun.

That's a PS3 game that took years to develop, S-E then pooped it out for the 360 in less than a year. But it's definitely better on PS3, no doubt about that.
