Forums - Sony - EA uses PS3 now for lead platform

I thought people understood the difference between discrete memory for cpu and gpu then unified wich is the same amount in the end (512MB), but what ever...still funny to hear.

The point is writing well designed code for the PS3, especially for the PPE part of the Cell, translates very effectively on 360. On the other side it doesn't work well. It makes sense to move developpement leading on PS3. Everybody will be happy and the only technical difference will be on exclusivity from now on.

Sorry, but the link doesn't prove anything except for that they're getting the hardest version (the PS3 version) to make out of the way first so they can easily port to the other two. It's not like EA is saying "we love the PS3 so we're giving it the royal treatment". They're simply approaching development in the most logical way they can. The games don't look or play any different.




History has proven:

360 lead games lead to sloppy PS3 ports (Orange Box, R6: Vegas, GRAW 2, Turok, etc.)

PS3 lead games tend to have both versions identical.

Either way, PS3 loses. Why? Because the PS3 is advertised to look and perform better then the competition. If multiplats look the same.....or better on 360, that only proves the PS3 marketing/hype is a downright lie.



2008 360 prediction: 26 million (thus surpassing XBOX lifetime sales in one year less time).

As long as there are 360 bashers, I will be there to do something about it.

@bolded, they were really lead on PC and double ported to consoles.

But really there are key exceptions which disprove this. Take Far-Cry 2, for example. PC -> PS3/360 port and it played fine.



Tease.

even so, my point stands. The 360 arcetecture is almost like the PC, as MS intended it that way for a reason.

Either way, if you directly compare the 360 to PS3 version, the 360 version is favoured.

@ghost too bad 360 can't handle 1080p 60 FPS



Check the back of 360 game boxes. I see 1080p all the time on their games. 360 can upscale to 1080p on every newly released game.

PS3 on the other hand cant even upsale to 1080p. I can only run most games in native 720p, which 360 mcan also do.

And 360 is more then capable of 60fps, if anything there are games where only the PS3 version suffers like GRID for example.

Do some research.

sure it can upscale lmao i can upscale a pc game to the highest res but will it run well, nope.... continuing on the 360 only supports HDMI 1.2=garbage compared to 1.3, try again.



right because that means everything. watch a 1080p bluray movie for all I care.

last i checked its about the gameplay. And there are plenty multiplats that favor the 360 where as the PS3 version has choppy framerate and bad textures.

I can name some. Fight Night Round 3, R6: Vegas, GRAW 2, Orange Box, Turok, Baja, Fallout 3 (lol). mI could go on.

LOL at you claiming ownage over 1.2 to 1.3. You know you hit fanboy rock bottom when you try to claim ownage over that.

*claps*  Well done.  This is the most ridiculous fanboy argument I've yet heard.  Kudos!
