That's funny how a game like uncharted is only using 30 to 40 percent of the PS3's power, but anwyay to clarify this I already played the game 3 or 4 times and I'm in the middle of playing it right now in very hard mode so does that mean I'll have to start over a new game and that I'll have to get all my medals all over again? or well all the medals I got now go into the trophies?

 

Off topic, but it's funny when people marvel at stupid statements like x game is only using y% of the z consoles power and then it makes me sad when they start falling for that garbage.

I could use 100% of the PS3 power but it doesn't mean I'm using it well.  That 30-40% doesn't mean anything.

-edit-

And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Uncharted is crap, I actually like Uncharted, I'm just saying when people say they use so much power of the console it's generally crap.

I figured the numbers were just to give us a general idea of how much they think they can improve performance via optimization and reworking their engine.

When my comments affect the numbers then you might have something.

 

How can they be trusted when those that run this palce are such bias fanboys ?

only as strong as its weakest link and this palce has a hell of alot of those.

Kind of, but it's pretty much PR garbage.  There's truth behind it but it's so twisted that it isn't really worthwhile.
