@NJ5 oh i get it...still new to all this lol

@Fishie what context was the quote meant to be in then (gears of war QA quote)

If its to do with performance, isn't it obvious that with the processing power of the ps3 will beat the 360 hands down (the day someone actually manages to make full use of it)!

I had a copy of Gears of War and at the time it was the most beautiful game i had ever seen. Although it was brilliant, the truth was it mostly took place in the dark. I remember when watching the film Pitch Black, the SFX people said using the dark helps them with their job since if you cant see it, then you dont have to give it much detail, no one will notice. After playing it again I realised the GoW done this a lot as well as have very small maps and limited colours on offer. What Epic done is very clever, they made something small, but gave it all the effort they could have to polish and perfect it.

At this point i was pretty much convinced the ps3 is a pile of hyped up junk until i bought Uncharted. After playing Uncharted, I realised if someone knows how to use the power of the cell, they can create games that are just stupidly amazing. GoW doesnt even come close to the Uncharted.

Even at E3 when the trailer for Killzone2 was shown. Majority of the world was not convinced anything like that would be capable on the current gen consoles. Now with new in game trailers etc the ps3 has proven that it has a lot of untapped potential to create some real next gen titles.

Whether or not it is in game studios who make these titles or not, the bottom line is, if ps3 is capable of handling the titles, then how will MS compete against it? To date it still can't make anything beautiful as Uncharted, how will it even stand a chance against Killzone 2 or the next God of War installment?

I played the game, looks impressive ill give you that.

Gameplay however is a serious concern and to claim the 360 will not be able to compete because of one not yet released game is stupidity and fanboyism at its finest.

The song you are singing now is a really old one and one we heard before with regards to Resistance, Motorstorm, LAIR, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank, Unchartered and MGS4.

Those games came and went and all were to show how vastly superior the PS3 was and would bury the 360 and guess what the 360 is still competeing just fine.

 Edit: The Gears maxxed out quote was with regards to their engine and what they could achieve with it at that time on the 360.

I really can't understand why anyone won't have seen this coming

Mods > No Mods

= PS3 is the better console version

Who cares?

No customization? No buy.

these debates in here really dont go anywhere do they?:S

it would be nice to see plato, sophocoles, aristotle and homer sitting in forums debating what the greatest console is.

ps3) the one which wields the power but doesnt know how to use it
wii) the one which offers fun for cheap
360) the one who offers the least but has the money to survive

History has taught us that money can buy you power. This theory should mean MS are the clear winners and one day the 360 will be victorious.

History has also taught us that small things can overcome big obstacles- David and Goliath. This theory should prove the Wii will most definitely succeed and beat the living day lights out of the 360 and ps3.

History has also taught us that if you wake the sleeping elephant, he will crush you. So in theory, if the ps3 ever wakes up, the wii and 360 are doomed.

Each console has the ability to out perform the other but which one actually wins is down to the consoles ability to realise its potential and share it with the world in its utmost glory.

I love how people (PS3 fanboys) constantly give Eurogamer shit simply because they prove time and time again the 360 has it up over on the PS3. They're only one of the most respected gaming sites on the internet with a constant line of integrity and yet they're so full of shit?

The fact that the 360 is technically trumping the 'more powerful' PS3 is common knowledge, why aren't you ready to accept that?

I've said it before and I'll keep on saying it until I'm proven wrong, but in the end when it all comes down to simple real world gaming, the 360 is more powerful than the PS3.

I think everyone needs to stop arguing as the PC version looks better and has larger online matches anyway...

Still OT to contribute the 360 as usual for U3 engine games is a little sharper with regard to character models and textures however having played the game on each console I'd say actual performance is essentially the same, maybe a fraction better on 360 but only if you squint and concentrate really really hard.

However 360 seems to lose out on custom content and keyboard and mouse so far as I can see - which is a far bigger loss for a UT game than slightly sharper textures IMHO, although it does gain some points back for better on-line in terms of basic Live capabilities.

At the end of the day both play and look great with no real difference.

In truth from the look of it they only marginally tweaked the game for 360 as I actually thought it might look/play a lot better on 360 - I guess they didn't see any need to throw any more money than required to get it running smooth on 360. Makes sense with GoW2 coming up which is no doubt getting all the attention in that regard.

You can be using 100% CPU utilisation fairly easily. Using it efficiently is a different matter.

They will learn how to make better use of the hardware over time. I don't see why this is a suprise. I don't think any console would hit the peak of performance so early.

@ Mr Marc - I wouldn't say it is technically triumphing the ps3. i would only go as far as saying that to this very date, it has sold more units then the ps3.

To out sell the ps3, the 360 would have to have sold more units then the ps3 on a weekly comparison from date it has been released and VGC has already pointed out that if anything, the ps3 has outsold the 360 on since its release on cumulative sales in europe and japan.

Also technically speaking, the ps3 is more powerful then the 360. Therefore, technically you are wrong.
