Forums - Gaming - PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 Graphics Gap Will Start To Widen

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so if you dig in a ps3 site or in a post from a PS3 "aficionado" you know what to get.
And I truly believe their not lieing they really see it like that.

As someone said neither systems can be praised for top of the line graphics as mid-price PC in 2009 put both to shame.

So... talk about the games and Live and PSN, that's the main thing consoles have, not graphics, FFS!

 

It is a bit short but you have a point : Console is a package.

But go tell that to Fanboys Hordes...they don't want to understand...



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

No. There's no other PS3 game as detailed and as complete as Killzone 2 so yeah, I think not.

 

Actually Uncharted has vastly more detail around levels, and Killzone 2 is set in tiny almost barren levels, making it nothing special visually in my eyes

If i wanted path based games, i would look to last generation



yeah it will



Of course i own a PS3, and can't wait for Demon SOul and FF13vs

But that does not mean i like it better than 360, especially when my gaming goes to 360 with a few short breaks for the few short PS3 games i have got



why be in such denial when so many developers are saying it? 360 is reaching its limits as far as advancement goes. PS3 doesn't seem to be reaching that for quite some time in the future. I have yet to hear developers say they are maxing out the PS3 but the 360 being maxed has been brought up on several occasions.

So, seeing as people who actually must develop for these systems have stated it why must these debates keep coming to fruition?

@forevercloud: Might you have links or quotes from those developers saying they maxed out the 360? Just curious which ones have said that.

uncharted using less then half of PS3's power...

Killzone 2's cell usage...

And dont forget the fact that Uncharted and Killzone 2 are the best looking games of nxt gen period.

When people tally graphics they forget one thing. That graphics is also partly the immersion of what is going on around you. The AI for wind, water movement, getting wet, lighting, etc. These all add to graphics. The 360 may have a more powerful graphics card but the fact that the cell architecture greatly out performs the 360's is over looked. Dont forget the fact that the Cell actually can boost the PS3's GPU. So that ends up with the PS3's CPU and GPU being able to do more.

@forevercould3000: Thanks! One of those 360 games didn't come out yet, and the other statement is apparently coming from a non-technical person.

By the way I just remembered this, apparently they're claiming Uncharted 2 will max out the PS3:

To be honest I always find this kind of claim dubious no matter what console.

There is also the fact that Heavy Rain was originally suppose to be a Multiplat title yet had to go exclusive because of the ambitions of the studio. Even they saw the potential for greater power. The Cell is used in the worlds most powerful super computer last time i checked.

So what if Rage has not released yet. The guy programming the game said that. Of course his bosses came and cleaned up the mess, but i have no doubts that it still holds true.

Teh Pwer of Duh Cell! is actually real lol!

@forevercloud3000: I was talking about Red Faction: Guerilla actually.

Anyway I'm not saying either console is more powerful (they don't seem too far apart). My point is just that I usually don't buy these claims from developers saying they're maxing out the hardware. Looks to me like a cheap way to generate hype for their games. Making people think "wow, if they're maxing out the hardware this must have great graphics".
