Forums - Sony - Final Fantasy XIII aparently to use 100% of PS3's power

Millennium on 31 March 2009

How many games have claimed to use 100% of the PS3's power now? Didn't Resistance, Resistance2, Motorstorm, MGS4, Uncharted, and several others make this claim?

Come to think of it, why is this even a marketing term? It's not like it makes the games any better. Nor does it really even mean much. I could make 'Hello World' use 100% of the PS3's power with the Linux kit and a simple shell script.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

If FFVII used 100% of PS1's power I wonder how much FFVIII and FFIX used?! O.o

 

 This, there was quite a difference between those 2 games.

Another one of these? y do they do they do this to them selves? 100% of the ps3 power maybe to this point in time but not forever! Developers get better at doing more with the same power as time goes on so it's not really 100%

This the first thing that comes to mind when I hear "uses 100% of X consoles power".

For me it's the second. The first one is "PR stunt" ;)

LOL! I meant other than that.

Could we add some nice load times into the equation?

haha the PS3 cell power is a myth after all .. now if the 360 version work better then all sony fans should never talk about the ps3 power again.

AARGH!

I will write you a code that would use 100% of the PS3's processing power


integer x = 2;

while(x >= 1){
x = x + 1
}

It is stupid. If it currently uses 100% power, then they go through their code and find 100s of ways to make it more efficient. Then it only uses 90%.
