Forums - Gaming - PS3 is Not More Powerful than Xbox 360, says game Dev!

So basically this blog post came from October 2007*, back at the beginning of this console generation, but everyone is having too much fun flaming their hated enemies to care, right?







* This is what several people have said so far in this thread, anyway. Weird how those posts never seem to get a response...

Bingo. ------- @Jake_the_fake1 No multiplatform game pushes the PS3 to the limit. That's because the only way to push the PS3 to the limit is via coding without considering another platform (except PC). No game has even used near 100% of the Cell's clock cycles, yet. Uncharted 2 will be the 1st.

"most PS3 exclusives will likely continue to suck"

I stopped reading there.... most of the PS3 exclusives I see are flat out awesome. I'm pretty sure right now that I'll disagree with most of the OP anyway [everything that I understand anyway] so why bother....



4 ≈ One

i think both systems are of equal power.

This is probably as close to the truth as we are likely to come.



So games with no install like Uncharted and KZ2, which are the best looking games to date stream from BD. Must be fast enough.

Apparently folks, most PS3 exclusives will continue to suck!



I feel really bad for the OP. Digging up dirt on the other system that has no credibility and is more than a year old. Quite frankly, you need to pull your head out of your ass and realize that doing stuff like this is extremely pathetic.

And, the sad part is ROBOTECHHEAVEN's comment is FAR from the truth.

Then why cant we see games on xbox360 match the graphics of PS3 exclusives?

look like his opinions are for M$ to buy

I found the article makes a lot of sense.  The PS3's only real advantage is the Cell and the extra storage capacity.  The Cell is not exactly the best processor for gaming tasks, though, and the blu-ray drive/disc has it's disadvantages as well, as described in the article.

The only game that has beat the top graphics on the 360 is Killzone 2.  One game that spent 4 years in development.  I expect Microsoft has plenty in store in the future to take back the graphics crown with Gears of War 3 or any number of unreleased titles.  As this guy said, Xbox 360 has the graphics advantage in the hardware.

Although everything has its stronger and weaker points, the Cell is most excellent for gaming (just looking at what kind of systems are running on the SPUs for various games already makes this pretty evident). Blu-Ray disc is far more modern technology and compared to DVD provides mainly advantages in this regard.

Of course it's new and different, thus requiring different care than was implemented for many legacy game engines. The Wii for example has the advantage of being very similar to the GameCube, it does not make the Wii a high spec console, but it allows developers to move over and enhance GameCube optimised game engines fairly easily. If there was no GameCube before the Wii launched, this would require far more effort from such developers.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."
