its not better its a tie performance wise, except the gtx260 has a MUCH lower watt usage wich made it the winner for me.

yeah

these pretty much should people give a sense of what i talked about

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, PS3, 2007
Main characters - ~20,000-30,000 polygons
Drake - ~30,000 polygons
Pirates - ~12,000-15,000 polygons

Crysis, PC, 2007
Nano-suit character - 67,000 polygons (uncertain whether it's an in-game model or not)*
Characters' heads - ~2500-3000 polygons
Characters' bodies - ~5000 polygons

"Car models in GT5 average 200,000 polygons each."

yes you are right but NOT all the time, you get that resolution when closeup to the car, the other time you have LOD (evel of detail) models wich degrade over distance.

closeup 200k
10 meter 150k
50 meter 50k
100 meter 10k

and so forth. A gameengine switchies between the lod levels on demand and distance eotherwise you would have 0 fps in every game out there on current game c...

yes

todays polygons in a game are layerd with several layers of textures,
(diffuse, specular, normal, paralax, shadowmap, globalillu, etc) and shader operations on top of those + postprocessing filters in the end.

in fact making a game with 1-2 million polys all layerd with textures and shaders is pushing the 360 and ps3 both to the max, and hardcore engeneering is at work to make it run smooth. some of you might be shocked how lowpoly gears of war is couse mo...

Ok, little education for the article writers.

360 being ABLE to run 500mil. and the ps3 being ABLE to run 270 mil. polys at once, is pure technical limitations and has NOTHING to do with the reality of how many polys you can utilize to get a game running at a constant acceptable framerate.

todays games utilize about 15-25 k polys per main character a lil less for villains and not so important (front characters) props to about 10k environments to about 1-1.5 million ...

true in your point :D

i played diablo also since part one hell i played every blizzard game since the company exists, but somehow im totally in love with the new style, especially in motion and with all the effects lighting physics and destructables im totally stunned :D

the same as before

spot on

i love d3 and i totally fell in love with the new look, the colors animations and effects are incredibly sweet looking.

no matter if you like it or not

making a petition or demanding an art change is so hilarious i cant even describe it,

open letter to Picasso and kandinsky
"dear mr kandinsky or Picasso,

i totally enjoyed your previous art but could you please change your painting style couse i dont think it fits your visions

if you decide not to change your opinion im forced to not buy your art anymore"

insanity anyone ?

6562d ago 3 agree1 disagreeView comment

yes and no

with live anywhere (if its going to work ever) they would ahve a pretty solid base for crossplatform playing.

BUT blizzard has its own battle.net and wont let them be forced by ms to give it up for a live service

on the other hand the ps3 is an open plattform allowing mouse and keyboard.

we will seee, no matter where d3 will arrive i will play the crap out of it :D

totally agree

i totally LOVE wow i was on the start players playing wow to level 60 with noone knowing anything about the game was awesome, epic, breathtaking, but after 2 months it came to me taht i would have to regularly raid and party up just to proceed wich went to a hardcore stiff timescedule where you where forced to play the game or get thrown out of it. i quit with a tear in my eye and i so would love a wow that is more open to selfdecided playtime instead of those massi...

well put together these are exact my thought and concerns, all i can say is taht after owning a slicard im very disapointed with em you just have to much trouble for my taste and not the extra on performance i would have hoped for.

6562d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

aboslutly true

im running the game on 1680x1050 NO AA 16x AF on about 30 frames dipping to 20 sometimes on very high settings (wich is enough for me tto fully enjoy the game )on a core2duo 6700, gtx260 xxx edition, 4gb ram, Vista)

6562d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

yes yes sure your right i just hope they dont have a to high power consumption thats all :)

6562d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

im no fan of sli or crossfire cards :( i hope its not just 2 4870 packed together, they just consume to much watt for my taste the recent 4870 in crossfire (wich basiacally is a 4870x2) loads 430 watt under pressure and 248 in idle wich is faar to much imo. and didnt even beat the gtx260 in crisis (265 load | 148 idle)

Actually i do have a life a pretty busy one and while visiting n4g in my spare time i dont wanna mess with guys like you. And by tone i meant your kind of language, try the openzone if you wanna insult flame and yel at others.

+ignore. have a nice time here.

6563d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment

i really start to wonder who owning a ps3 said archivements where bad except a handfull of continuasly flaming kids on this page, you do realise that there are like 10 guys of each faction spamming the same crap over and over again on n4g and these doo NOT represent the masses.

i like archivements i like trophies (even better because of the differentiation in silver gold etc. and timestamps.

far to many are making a serious problem out of some fanboys comments.
