It's bullshit that the PS3 was the only place where infamous could've been made. The 3D world of Alan Wake in the preliminary pictures looks ten times better than InFamous.

 

Alan wake is not a sandbox game for one and also we have never seen "any" 360 footage of the game as of yet.  The other problem with Alan wake is we have also not seen any ingame for the pc version either (just cgi from what the developers have said).

 

 

The last video footage of Alan Wake was from 2007. Imagine how much work they've done to date. I could care less if Infamous is a sandbox game, because there are plenty of sandbox games to go around on the PS3 and the 360. It is a known fact that Sucker Punch are Sony loyalists, despite being an independant company.

errm you may not care if it's a sandbox game or not. but the fact remains that it is. And as such it handles differently than if it wasn't..obviously.

question though. Why does everyone discredit what the DEVELOPERS of the game say? Can you program video games? Until you do, stfu. I don't care if you read an article on Wikipedia, you have no real world experience

 

Because every excluse that comes out for ps3  "can only be done on ps3", while we got multiplatform developrs saying the xbox is the better platform

Really, they said the 360 was the "better" platform, really? Show us.

I'm not saying if it is or isn't, but show me an article where a multiplatform developer says the 360 is better.

 

 

Red Faction: Guerrilla producer tells VideoGamer.com dev team is "finding some of the challenges of the PS3 beneficial".

The PS3 has the potential to achieve better graphics than the Xbox 360, a Volition developer has told VideoGamer.com.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com at THQ's Gamers Day in San Francisco, California, this week, Jeff Carroll, associate producer in charge of multiplayer and PS3 on upcoming third-person action game Red Faction: Guerrilla, said that while developers will struggle with the PS3 at first, once they "figure it out" they will find "a very powerful system underneath".

Red Faction: Guerrilla, the third in the popular series, sees a switch from the FPS view seen in the first two games to a third-person view. Scheduled for a simultaneous Xbox 360, PS3 and PC release in THQ's fiscal year 2009, the game has come on leaps and bounds since its first-look public unveiling earlier in the year.

When asked if there would be any differences between the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, Carroll replied: "We've got the PS3 running at a similar frame rate to the 360. We're finding some of the challenges of the PS3 beneficial. We feel like we're doing rather well with the PS3."

Carroll went into more detail on the benefits of the PS3: "We have been getting the physics system, the Havok system and our own proprietary destruction system running on the SPUs, as well as our animations. We're seeing quite a decent speed improvement now that we've effectively got that running on the SPUs instead of the CPUs."

Carroll agreed, however, that many developers have found the PS3 to be a challenging platform, and admitted that Volition shared that struggle, at first.

"We were like that at the beginning. But I think mainly because we had to get our destruction system running on the SPUs, we had to get it running well in order to succeed, we felt a tremendous pressure right at the beginning to learn as much as we could about the PS3. And our programmers have done a wonderful job."

When asked whether it is possible to achieve better graphics on the PS3 compared with the Xbox 360, Carroll said: "I think potentially you will. I think early on people are going to be struggling to figure out exactly how to make the PS3 work. But I think once they do they will see it's a very powerful system underneath. They both have their advantages. The Xbox 360 pushes polygons rather well, which for us, because everything is destructible, that means that we have a tremendous number of polygons in our game compared to regular games, we see a great benefit with the Xbox 360, but we just learn to optimise in different ways for the PS3."

In Red Faction: Guerrilla, players will be able to destroy every building they see through a combination of weapons, vehicles and explosives. Real world physics are applied to the structures, often leading to a collapse through real-time structural stress.

Carroll added that the game is "very much" pushing the PS3, "both in terms of memory and processing power".

You can see for yourself how Red Faction: Guerrilla is shaping up over at our hands-on preview, and cast your eyeballs over some brand new screens hot off the press.

Yes, the PS3 is more challenging, but no where in there does he say the Xbox was better. In fact, he says (in terms of graphics) the exact opposite. Now, as I've said, I don't actually know 100% which one is better. From my personal experiences though, I think as of now the PS3 has the graphical edge with games like Killzone and Uncharted.

I do believe, however, that the Xbox 360 is set to shock me BIG TIME very soon this year, as it did in 2006 with Gears 1 and then again in 2007 with Bioshock. The 360, regardless of PS3's power, can hold it's own

 

 

Just Posting what I found



 



Of course inFamous is only possible on the PS3, not only is it a Sony owned IP (most likely), but it's running PS3 specific code, which of course means it'll only work on the PS3....some times they talk in literal terms...so really there should be no discussion about what was said.



PS3 no better than the Xbox, says Microsoft boss

The man responsible for the Xbox 360 gives his frank assessment of the PlayStation 3

div#related-article-links p a, div#related-article-links p a:visited { color:#06c; }

He may not be the most impartial of judges, but Microsoft’s regional head of entertainment doesn’t mince his words when it comes to the PlayStation 3.

“In the technology and gaming there’s really little in the PS3 where I can say, ‘Gosh, I wish we had that’,” Neil Thompson, the company’s senior regional director for UK and Ireland, said. “The biggest threat that Sony has for us is the brand that’s been established around it.”

He conceded that the PlayStation’s graphics would give the Xbox a run for its money, but said that the Xbox outstripped its rival in the increasingly popular online gaming world, as well as in the number of games available.

“You have to have a range and quality of gaming content,” Mr Thompson said. “More and more we’re seeing that the online experience is a really important factor. Sony have come up with an online world that seems to let you do just about everything except gaming.”

Mr Thompson said that Microsoft had no plans to cut the price of the Xbox, arguing that the £279 price tag is already good value.

Sony has argued that the PS3’s £425 price tag is good value considering its cutting-edge technology, but Mr Thompson questioned whether the Blu-ray drive, the PS3’s high-definition DVD player whose complexity contributed to delays of several months, would prove much of an attraction.

“It’s two, three years ahead of the market,” he said. “People won’t want to replace their entire DVD collections, and they’ll get a better resolution with a standard DVD on an Xbox than a PS3.”

Mr Thompson suggested that the high-definition format war, in which Microsoft has backed the HD-DVD format that rivals Blu-ray, may be rendered obsolete by advancing technology.

“It’s nowhere near the importance of the format war between VHS and DVD,” he said. “The internet is becoming an increasingly important medium. Surely online is going to be the distribution method for much of the high-definition content.”



 



"says Microsoft boss"

Take it with even less than a grain of salt



@ CGI-Quality,nice post i think you are a well balanced member of this site,i have read alot of your replies and posts on this site and i find you to be very unbiased and also you seem to think before you speak and also do your research on the topics as well as back up most of your replies with links if asked to.you my friend are not a fanboy no matter what system you own,i to think that microsoft will shock us all. all of the 3 systems have their own great xclusives, that is why i will buy a ps3 after the price drop, i as a true gamefan can,t afford to let any bias against any system or console maker cause me (usgamefans) to miss out on some great games.



Don,t be Fanboys,Be Gamefans,Play games 4ever...GAME ON(msn)
