Forums - Sony - Do Developers Understand The PS3 Now ?

ConAir on 13 March 2008

To answer the topic. I think most developers allready found out that they can better produce for PS3 first and than port it too 360. The other way around causes a lot of trouble. I think GTA IV will have some as well, because the development started on 360 probably.

At first a lot of developers were complaining about the hard programming. Especially Valve made ridiculous comments about it. Now they have more experience so we will see more good stuff. I think you can also blame that on Sony for not getting dev kits sooner to the developers.

But I still feel that only the exclusives will show it's true power. Than we will know if the 360 and PS3 are really such a big difference.

Read my first post to understand why you are fundamentally incorrect.

As for sub-HD, neither of the two high-definition consoles are powerful enough to render high-physics, high-graphics games at 1080p with a fast, consistent frame-rate. It's an interesting paradox. If you believe Sony, you must have 1080p, 60FPS games in order to truly enjoy the next generation. The irony is, if you follow this advice you need to bypass the PS3 and go straight to an expensive gaming PC.

As for the last part, I think we will eventually see a very minor graphical advantage for some exclusive PS3 games over 360 ones. That said, due to it's more focused architecture, the 360 will have better AI in it's top games, which can be applied to gameplay while a little extra graphical sheen cannot.

According to your post you think the Wii will desimate both the 360 and PS3 and neither will ever get to its full potential.

And, HD applies to resolutions above 720p, not just 1080p, thats why sub-HD is so sad for the 360, games running at 640p, 600p. (some of its biggest titles, Halo 3 for example.)

If you honestly think the 360 still has a few more years of advancement, well you're one of the biggest optimists for the 360 that I know, while its undeniable the PS3 will get much better.

 


What I actually said is that not many titles will come out after these two consoles reach their potential.  You realise that there are plenty of sub-hd PS3 games right?  For example CoD4?

People said that GeoW was as good as it was going to get for the 360, but then came Mass Effect, Bioshock, Fable 2 and now some early footage from GeoW2, and they are all kicking the original GeoW's ass.

IF you don't think both of these consoles have an awful lot more to offer you really need to look back over the last couple of gaming generations.  And if you really want to play consistently high-definition, high-graphics games, you need to sell your PS3 and get a gaming PC.


call of duty 4 on the ps3 can run at 1080p how the hell is that sub-HD?!

Both 360 and PS3 versions upscale to 1080p and are nearly identical, this gives a similar effect as if you would get from upscaling a DVD, loss in detail compared to native. Basically objects far away this you by far can't distinguish well enough compared to native 1080p graphics and things nearby don't look as detailed. The PS3 can upscale PS2 games to 1080p as well but they are not 1080p games.

COD4 is rendering only 600 lines, older TVs show 576 (Europe) or 480 lines (US), so playing on an old TV this doesn't really matter. Scalar chips are pretty cheap and found in cheap DVD players as well as in HDTVs.
