@ makingmusic476
my point in saying what i said, and its all true, is that people argue that dev's had 360 kits before they had ps3 kits, which is wrong, when comparing the time each developer had with dev kits for the systems, its not a true argument. some ps3 game developers had dev kits for he ps3 before 360 game developers had their dev kits, i read it while reading a article about call of duty 3. and i agreed with you about the ps3 and halo 3, but i was saying 360 has the power to do so as well, its jsut about the developing time period, if halo3 started developing in 05 and omg 06 it would look sooooooooo much better.

thanks for the respect, and you're never to old to join the reserves, i think right now for navy and airforce theres a 26,000 bonus

I still contemplate the reserves from time to me (especially when I watch movies like Jarhead), they've got me doing so much stuff at UNO. I have to practice my guitar for hours a day. It's a bitch, but it's paying off.



yea movies like that destroy the morale of the country, which is horrible, but good talkin to ya man

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

And before MikeB pops in here to say the PS3 could pull this off, it cant.


Technically I think the PS3 is powerful enough to render a game like Halo 3 in 1080p at 60 FPS together with additional effects, with twice the content, higher quality 7.1 audio and localization on a single disc.

But that would be a mammoth undertaking and involve a complete game engine redesign from scratch. Maybe 3rd generation PS3 (SPE optimised, harddrive caching and texture streaming enabled) first and second party game engines will start to perform at such levels.

 The flaw in your argument, aside from content and sound, is that you are assuming that Halo 3 is the farthest the 360 can be pushed, but the PS3 can be pushed further. It doesn't work that way. The 360 still isn't optimized. The PS3 can be optimized futher, but you implying the 360 cannot get a better resolution (even if not as high) is just false.

I agree with LordtheNightKnight, as me and makingmusic476 were talking about, halo 3 started developing before halo 2 even came out, so the technology for optimzing halo 3's graphics and ai and whatever else wasnt quite there. These games were seeing now arnt anywhere close the the "optimization" were going to see out of games in the future. Such games as Mass Effect and gears of war for the 360 are just using the first build/stage of the unreal 3 engine, with time, that engine can be pollished and games can be optimized around it to draw out the games and the systems full potential. Such games as warhhawk, motorstorm, and Heavenly Sword are all great games (though limited warhawk only multi, heavenly only 4 hours long, but we are being flooded with short games) those games look awesome too, but no one has even tapped the potential of the unique specs of the ps3 to really tell whats next, becasue its such a different, unlinked game system, like i said in a prior post, they jsut through great technology in the ps3 but it doesnt all work together, sad but true. Im speaking for both systems becasue i own both, but i honestly see a brighter future in gameplay and graphics for the 360.

@ LordTheNightKnight

I said movies like that, i've been over there, lol its not like that, it is for the people who really dont want to serve their country and jsut join for the bonuses or the benefits. Movies like jarhead make it seem like your life will be ruined if you fight for your country, which to me is degrading.

 Well lots of movies make points that are unrelated to reality. There was a scene in the departed when someone said that police act all weepy after they shoot someone because that's what cops on TV always do everytime they use their guns.
