Electronic Arts says "we already maxed out the power on 360." PS3......

[shayd]

Brink, name sounds familiar when I was doing my yearly E3 news check when it was hittin' LA. Its prob one of those games thats far down the road from release. I'm gunna dig up some research. Is that a multiplatfrom or 360 exclusive Shayd? I'm interested to check this one out now. Thanx 4 info

It'll be for 360 and PS3 as of right now. Looking at some of these screens, they're looking pretty even at this point.

just say the 4 brink screenshots that are out there. It uses the mirrors edge engine. It looks tight no doubt. I wanna see it rolling. Shayd the art style to me looks like a mesh of Gears/killzone/mirrorsedge gritty/polished/alittle cartoony. thats a good mish mosh of styles screen shots show it.

Does anyone have any figures as to how hard the most cutting edge games might be pushing the PS3 processors 60%, 70%, more, less?

I don't have to link but Naughty Dog said that Uncharted used 30% of the cell.

I remember watching a video interview with a cat from guerilla games and he said Killzone2 uses about 90% of the systems capabilities, however he said, there is a way to utilize certain aspects of the machine during programming to get bigger things on top of what was done with his game.

Its never how much power a machine has,its the experience,tools,know-how and creativity of the developers that make the biggest difference. Einstein could probably put killzone2 on the Playstation2 if you gave him 4 years. LOL

Honestly, from a developer standpoint, pushing the CPU capabilities are far inferior to finding optimal ways to provide good graphics.

How many people I know own a PS3 = 3.

How many people I know own a 360 = 47.

The truly believable difference between the XBox 360's graphics output and the PS3's = not really that much, really.

Ya, I know more people that own a 360. Reason so many people have a 360 is because the 360 came out about year ahead of PS3 and it doesn't cost that much. Not to mention its a great system. Once PS3 drops the prices I might pick one up just to have all new gen systems .

I'm not a xbox hater got my 360 on launch day......well its my 4th system right now due to hardware failure but anyway....... LOL

I think the gap between the PS3 and 360 is actually just about the fact that Sony did such a shitty job pushing major titles at launch. The 360 almost immediately had big names, and it took the PS3 nearly 6 months to even get a single large title game.

With a year headstart and the first system to come out in a gen that is capable of rendering visuals ala Gears,GOwar3,bioshock,killzone etc. many people are gonna own a 360 period. I had mine reserved 6 months before the thing launched holiday 2005,the graphics whore that I am.

Playstation 3 is a much better entertainment system hands down,and i get sick to death of people on this board trying to justify the shitbox 360.
If you want fuckin blu ray-check,you want to store all your tunes & photos-check,you want to upgrade your hard drive to maybe up to a terabyte-check,internet capabilities-check,on a high def tv upconvert your dvds to 1080p-(its a bit better than they normally look-check.
I could go on and on,but i am realistic and will tell you of the only brownie point that the 360 has over the powerful black machine.
Their internet setup is better,BUT-it costs money,and in general the graphical capabilities of both machines look the same.

i guess ps3 escuses guy was on to something

That's one of the things that bothers me about the Xbox 360. They rushed to get it out and in the end actually got rewarded over the Playstation 3 for having crappy hardware and having people get countless red rings of death because of it. I don't own either, but if I was going to buy one today I would get the Playsation just out of principle.

Does that mean all the future console makers will now take a similar approach when the new generation systems are created just so they aren't beaten to the market no matter how bad their product is? I wouldn't doubt it. It's pretty sad.

I have to admit the PS3 makes upgrades easier, however outside of the Blu-ray related abilities, all of those things can be achieved on the 360. I'm not trying to say one is better than the other, but both offer those capabilities.

If you ask me, pure and simple this is a Microsoft issue. Any other retailer wouldn't have done anything like this. The original X-box was absolutely slaughtered in terms of sales by the PS2. Microsoft recognized the only way to make a significant impact in terms of sales for the 360 was to put it out before the PS3. Now here is where any other company would have made a working product, but as in the case of so many other things, Microsoft put money first, and in the end, it burned them in many cases.

Microsoft is a software company not hardware. The wireless mic microsoft makes is a piece of garbage too I'm on my 2nd one and I just went wireless 2 months ago. Like I was quoted by the guy above I'll say it again, I'm not a 360 hater,I love the system, but I am on my 4th console which just shouldnt be and issue in the gaming industry.

Consoles of this nature have been around a very long time now and Ive never seen one particular console have so many problems. Microsoft themselves had to extend the warranty cause of the issues,everyone I know is at least on a 2nd or 3rd system and microsoft is getting sued for going to production early to meet the holiday rush knowing they had hardware probs.
