Forums - Sony - Cage: Heavy Rain not possible on Xbox 360

hatmoza 2.0 on 15 May 2009

Im sure if the same team worked on a 360 version for 3 years they could have made it happen.

I can't wait to drive down that rainy, dark, creepy street; get off my bike; break into that fat guys house as the kids jump-rope outside quitely yet joyfully.
The atmosphere of that games starting to send chills down my spine.
Im getting really excited about this game again! CGI! Where are you? Im going to start the hopping around without you!

If this game sells badly, as in under or around a million, I doubt that people will really care.

Why would that make people not care? Wouldn't it be more logical to say if the game is bad then people  won't care. Many many great games don't sell that much.

I don't need to try, the ps3 and xbox have similiar processing power

 

Actually the cell is a more powerful processor and it specifies in some things where it completely violates the 360... and those are the areas they've made use off. Like in flower.

 

Not to say the 360s processor is bad at all. It's not.. But they work completely different.

and xenos is better then the rsx.. what xbox loses in cpu power is made up in gpu power.  The rsx bottlenecks the ps3 terribly.   In overall perfomance, anyone who builds computers knows that having a better gpu yeields way  better results then buying a medicore gpu with a top notch cpu.  Its all about where your bottle neck is.  Your only as fast as your slowest componnent

Considering the game itself sounds boring and the only thing it seems to have going for it is a pretty face I will pass…….

And don’t really care what system it can and cant play on b/c pc would kick them both in the nuts and then sleep with their mom and never call her again…… shes a bastard like that

Concidering that you can use the spus to fill in for the rsx. Not really.

 

That's right the cell can do graphics too. I'll find something for you. 1 sec.

there it was. From GDC this year. Santa Monicas keynote.

Shows you how they use spusto reduce the pressure on both the processor and the GPU by offloading it to the spus

see the 7 active spus the ps3 has are all around processors. You can just throws stuff at them(preferebly calculations)

 

It's a interesting read actually. You should have a look

Did they ever make a 360 game, or is this the usual hype?

Quantic Dreams’ David Cage has declared that PlayStation 3 exclusive thriller Heavy Rain would be “too difficult” to replicate on Xbox 360.

Speaking to NowGamer, Cage explained, “I think this game can only be done on PlayStation 3,” adding, “We used all the SPUs, [and] I think to do the visuals, and all the stuff we’re doing would be too difficult [on the 360].”

Apparently, the game’s elaborate physics and crowd-related shenanigans are too much for Microsoft’s white box to handle, said Cage. “There are amazing physics there, and stuff with crowds that you just couldn’t really get.”

Can’t say we’re all that surprised, given that Heavy Rain is one of the PS3’s technical highlights for the 2009 line-up. The game’s out later this year.

Dududum !

Well the game is certainly shaping up to be interesting (from what we hear.. Unfortunately we haven't seen a lot.. but that saves a lot of surprises for when we actually play it i guess :P )

Wow, reading that just sent a chill down my spine, reminding me of Lair for some reasons.

 

Again, what in the hell is going on with people comparing Heavy Rain to Lair.  This had better be the final one. 

Also, The developer himself did not say it was not possible, just too difficult.   I'm sure if they had a developer team of 400-500 and some had experience on the 360,  that there would be a possibilty and it wouldnt be difficult.  

Please stop degrading Heavy Rain with your fanboy rants.

not again "sony payed us to make ps3 exclusive so we say it's not possible on a 360 despite the fact that it looks worse than some of 3rd party multiplatform games on xbox 360" crap.
