Impulsivity said: There is indeed affirmative action going on, which is why multiplat games never measure up to PS3 only games in graphics, gameplay or anything else. Why doesn't GTA4 look like MGS4? Because they had to make the 360 and PS3 versions equal so having higher res textures and other enhancements the PS3 is capable of was out of the question.
This is actually enforced by Microsoft. They charge a BONUS fee for every DVD you use after the first one for all 360 games and it's apparently pretty hefty according to several developers. They make devs pay through the nose since having 3 DVD games makes the 360 look inferior to the one blu ray PS3 special.
If anyone ever wonders why I hate Microsoft in the console war even though I like competition (I don't want Nintendo to go at all) its that drop in quality. If you make it for the PS3 and PC you can keep quality since the PC has scalers to let multiple kinds of hardware use it and disk space to make up for the lack of blu ray. The 360 though, dumbs down all multi platform titles by making them drop to the 360s lowest common denominator particularly in terms of media capacity. I'm sick of playing half baked multi platform titles! More MGS4 quality less GTA4 equality! At least most of these games aren't ported to the Wii too or we'd be playing GTA4 in lovely 480i. |
Geez dude chill out with your insecurity, it's a joke thread.
