ok, this is stupid even for n4g standards!

well well, a perfectly reasonable argument backed up with correct facts and all we get is "this is a joke". Right. Lets start of with this . . . how many of you know the ins and outs of the ps3 and xbox 360s hardware? Amazingly a faster cpu and more space doesnt mean a computer can do everything.
This isnt even about whether it would be better, its facts.Facts that show it wouldnt run in the same way and why should it? its different hardware running software in a different way. If it wasnt why the hell havent you bought 360s and upgraded them saving yourselves money.
This news site has been littered with omg ps3 pwnzors all for a while now, and frankly anyone who disagrees with this factual artical from professional developers on the matter of their own stubborness doesnt have an opinion worth listening to.

If Gears made it to the PS3 I would buy it. But I will not go out and buy a XB360 just to play Gears.

of course it wouldnt be the same its custom built on 360

It looks stunning.

I am not surprised at this. Epic games was directly responsible for the memory in the xbox 360 architecture. They single handily influenced its design.

for me, it's gotten to the point where graphics are just generally good now- i don't even care if they one-up each other anymore~ if you can go back and play psone classics then you probably don't give a shet which games look better nowadays. of course it's nice when games look good but a lot of the more mainstream games look good enough now where you shouldn't be nitpicking over a few bad textures. if it's actually ruining your fun when you play then maybe you should seek help... lol

gow3 its a shotgunz only type of multiplayer.nuff said....

yeah ok just like uncharted wouldnt be the same on 360 get over yourselves.

if it looks less on ps3 is because of laziness developers, just to bring out the game out, cause you can see on ps3 exclusives that look tons better than xbox 360 exclisives. On side of that its just minor textures on my belief.

"Gears 3 would not be the same on PS3"
Its true it wont be the same.
Its like uncharted2 on xbox360 it just wont be the same.

All you ps3 fanboys can cry all you want but you know its true.

LOL!! Nice try Epic games.

So basically they can optimize it with the 360 version and apparently they are not aware of how to do that on ps3.

I don't even like motion blur.

the unreal engine works better for ps3 IF developers would make the ps3 the leading development platform and then port it to xbox, just take a look at HomeFront and you will know what im talking about, FYI homefront uses the unreal engine so yeah its more likely gears would look better on ps3 but we will never know cuz its exclusive, proof of my statement http://www.lensoftruth.com/...

black ops looks terrible on the ps3 compared 2 the 360... i refuse 2 play inferior games

all these comments are better than the article itself.

Those days where a game looks that much better on rival machines is gone.Crysis2, Killzone3, Gears3, Rage all look bloody good and taken to the streets, the average Joe would say exactly that

Of course if you own one particular machine only, there is a very good chance you will claim it on that machine.Playground stuff basically

your right it be much much better.

So when someone makes an article about pS having something the xbox is incapable of doing we just sit back and shrug it off. But when Xbox does something that the PS doesn't do well everyone gets all excited I dunno why thats so hard to believe?

This vgarabia is so ignorant about graphics, let's just say this motion blur skin can't be done on the ps3, but it can do heaps of other things while at the same time. Let's see if gears 3 can do MLAA, Deferred rendering, 350+ dynamic lights, lens flare while still have that skin motion blur on, then we talk. Killzone 3 still kills it at this stage.

Maybe, but obviously it'd be able to compensate in other areas, the GPU may be lacking but if a dev knows what they're doing the CPU can do allot of the work.

There are techniques that work on either console I imagine, that's why every game that's on both needs to be developed independently (not a port) in order to make the most of its platforms hardware.

From DF's analysis:

"Also of note is the introduction of a really effective object-based motion blur. OBM has only been used sporadically in previous UE3 titles (such as Mass Effect 2) and even then in a very limited, barely noticeable manner. The quality of the effect seen in Gears 3 is more along the lines of that seen in Killzone 3 and God of War III, and represents a significant leap forward for Unreal Engine 3 - we even see individual levels of motion blur being employed on different parts of the main character's body: if one arm is moving faster than the other, that will be reflected in the amount of blur being applied. This is called "motion blur skinning" by Epic, and according to its own documentation, it is currently only utilised on Xbox 360 and PC, with possible performance implications for this style of implementation if it were added to the PS3 version of UE3."

So the article linked is just another flamebait or written by technically immature person. Once again, Epic can implement it in future PS3 games. They're just focusing on a X360 exclusive right now.

One word why games like KZ3, UC2 or GOW3 couldn't happen on X360: Blu-Ray. You can't store so many big quality textures in less than 10 GB, unless your game will be 3 hours short and no multiplayer OR unless you recycle textures in levels like Crysis 2 does (the same objects throughout the game, basically one urban environment). I bet GeoW3 will be on at least two new-format DVDs (around 15 GB).

I'm really looking forward to Gears 3 regardless of fanboys debates on texture quality LoL
Keep it real for gamers ; )

"Motion-blur skinning" is just Epic's fancy way of saying per-pixel motion blur, which we've already seen in the likes of games as way back as with Condemned 2 and Fear 2, as well as with Crysis 2, Killzone 3, God of War 3, and (I think) Uncharted 2.

Different amounts of blur depending on the speed of motion of individual body parts? Who hasn't already seen that a bunch of times in PS3 games?

It saddens me to see gamers argue over graphics, As long as the game looks reasonably playable and enjoyable. Why should comparing it to another game matter. You obviously know its going to be fun.

Also MGS4 cough* Cough*

I hope the graphics in Gears 3 won't disturb me from the gameplay. Crysis 2 visuals on some ocasions I would stay at an area because of the graphics and shoot my gun just for some visual eye candy treats

there's something referred to as 4d i think , the real time degenerative forces OF TIME AND WEATHER ON THE ENVIRONMENT, WHICH THE PS3 CAN DO AND THE XBOX 360 CANT.. I THINK :)
sorry for shouting there i pressed the shout button(caps) by mistake@xbox owners :)

Well it sure won't be missed by me. I'll get around to playing it on Xbox360, like the 2 before it, whenever I decide I have free time away from all the other games I want to play.

As of right now tho, Gears of War 3 isn't too high on my "Wishlist".

yawns,and laughs it off.i played the gears beta,it was better than gears 2.but nothing like uncharted 2.ohhhhhh.wait till uc3.wuhahahawuhah.

Flamebait article.

First-person games will always have better textures than third-person games, because the camera is closer to objects so those objects need to look smexy. From a distance, you can still make them look gorgeous but it's not so much about the textures.

I don't think we'll ever see Gears on the PS3, and frankly I don't mind. I have a 360 so it's not like I'm missing out anyway.

Uncharted 2 would not be the same on X360...

Why exactly do you PS3 fanboys think it'll look better on the PS3? If you idiots even read the article you'd know why it wouldn't look good on the PS3, and don't even bother bringing up KZ3 or GOW3 because those games look blurry as hell.

If any of you PS3 fanboys ever took the time to actually LOOK at your games you'd see how bad they look. The only PS3 games that have blown me away so far are UC2, R&C:TOD & iF2. UC3's in-game graphics look like a mess compared to the pre-rendered footage they showed at the VGA's

The only other games I'm really waiting to see are Agent, Eight Days, StarHawk and FFvs13.

yes, gears 3 wouldnt be the same on ps3.........it would be better!

I hate these arguments. GOW3 is a 360 exclusive. These comments come from a company that is making a game exclusively for the 360. PS3 developers have said the opposite about their machine of choice. I do have to say though. There are a lot of comments about storage issues with dvd vs Blu-Ray. I can't wait for the new 360 to come out packing Blu-Ray, then all the people on here saying it does not make a difference will say it does in fact make a difference and then reference the specs of the new 360 to try and show why it is better than the PS3. Too bad you can't delete comments because a lot of people are going to look pretty dumb.

Crysis 2 is a joke compared to crysis 1, graphically. Gears 3 definitely looks better than it on consoles and uncharted 3 will be up there as well.

Troll article

Yeah it wouldn't be the same, it would be bigger, filled with more content and have better graphics.

if this is true then i wonder what epic could be thinking by only making improvements on only one supported platform of a multiplatform engine. If i were a multiplatform developer that wants to make both versions look identical then i might consider doing this with another engine.

epic games & their excuses sounds like another valve lmfao!

Some gamers fail to mention when comparing graphical capabilities between 360 & PS3 the cell processor's graphical capabilities & only compare both systems gpu well let me update your primitive minds...

http://www.alphaworks.ibm.c...

Well this is a flamebait article if I've ever seen one.

Its just a fanboy thinking Gears 3 can't look better on PS3.

When in the real world it can if Epic works on the PS3 and not copy and paste it.

Heck it would look better then the 360 one if it was on PC, but in the end. I can't wait until Gears 3 comes out and I want to know what Gears Of War 3 Epic Ed. comes with.

I guess Gears won't be ripped a new one for using Motion Blur like Killzone was then?

Dont have xbox,but i play the gears beta at my boys house,i dunno what some fanboys are talking about but that shit is fun.

I just find it a little funny that they are trying to hype motion BLURRED skinning? since when was it cool to cover up detail... AM I missing something?

why is this flame bait on here? its never gonna happen with microsoft as the publisher.

umm, why wouldnt it be? the graphics can be done and made even better on the ps3, not sure what else gears 3 has that wouldnt make it work on ps3 lol.

uncharted 3 not possible on 360, gears 3 is easily possible on ps3

@ZOMBIEMESSIAH

I dont know bout that man, Ninja gaiden 2 was published by MS, we see what happened there lol.

A little offtopic: but wasn't there an article way back saying something like Uncharted wouldn't be the same on the Xbox 360, and it was rejected as "SPAM"?

This article should be given equal status too.

If PS3 Gears 3 had no "motion blur skinning" I'd buy it for PS3. I hate it and think it's rather annoying

gears 3 does have the best graphics in the gears series, don't get excited because it ain't no killzone or uncharted. It may be as good as resistance, (maybe).

gears 2 was too cartoony, gears 1 had shadow problems but good graphics.

gears 3 could run on ps3 but the epic guys are trying to talk up their game of course; and because it will never be on the ps3 because of microsoft owning it(they do) why not say it isn't technologically possible and trick a few simpletons.

uncharted 1 has better visuals than gears 3, sorry guys...its science.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
