Theres like:
MGS4, Killzone2 & 32 people online, Resistance2 & 60 players online, Gran Turismo 5 prologue 1080i lines @ 60fps & Reflecting track vehicles, Little Big Planet, Motorstorm2, MLB09, Warhawk -32 online, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted 1 & 2, Wipeout HD, Flower.. I think im forgetting some? Oh yeah White Knight Chronicles @ 1080p. The 360 has yet to run any advanced engine in any form of 1080 or high number of players online.
I think most of them...
Epic can't make an amazing engine to save their lives. They should just stick to counting paychecks and ignoring the support forums, and selling people gimped versions of their engine(too human). Its what they are best at.
Wake me up when this is really "in game screens!"

Epic = Lies a ton and under delivers.
The PS3 runs the unreal engine fine. Which is 80% of the technically demanding 360 titles right there, and it runs UT3 specifically fine.
The 360 can't run kz2, uncharted2, gt5p, lbp, it can't even run Alan Wake in a sandbox engine, or have more than 8 cars on the road in forza, or run native 1080 lines. Yet some how you have some blind hope that its possible? based on what? No 360 games even do per-object motion blur let alone the laundry list of other things specific to Naughty...

That?
PS3 runs the 360's top graphical titles... Bioshock and Gears just fine. Shame they couldn't get the MGS4 engine working on the 360 though.
Even though Forza3 is still trumped by Need For Speed Shift as well as Gran Turismo prologue, its some technical Juggernaut with just 8 vehicles on a track.. no weather.. and featuring no dynamic lighting. Talk about pushing hardware!
Alan Wakes entire hardware pushing argument "oh my god it looks this good and its sandbox!!!" was removed. And now sam fischer is fat..
The 360 has been around for god knows how long, and the only titles that can defend its ha...
Which is why in my first comment I said that while I agree that MS is in a "situation", the lack of graphics don't matter for 360 titles. Its not a "situation" in my opinion at all. But I give credit to where credit is due.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. The 360 has its second to none features, as the PS3 does. But its as if people want to just give the 360 credit for everything, and just "shhhh come on the graphics are just as good bro" W...
http://images.xbox360-tribe... Is what L4D looks like by the way, not the cut scenes/GARYS MOD Come on dude.. Theres the second fail. Everyone said cut-scenes because we all know how the game looked in game. Nothing like a mod for the PC version. Which again, proves you have 0 titles on the 360 to use in this conversation, because the 360 can't produce visuals that can compete. Only hardware lik...
The BD players may be cheap, but the movies are still more expensive, and they do require you to actually care about not seeing chunks of compression everywhere and having surround sound. These people are still in a minority of video/techphiles.
Much Like MS using old technology like DVD, they have created their own audience that listens to what they say. You don't need Bluray, you need digital downloads. Because digital is the future, just like motion controls.
I've been enjoying the fluff before the real deal. Kz2/Uncharted/Heavenly Sword/Motorstorm2/Socom..
all good filler but.. im anxiously waiting for gt5.
Are you kidding yourself? Deferred rendering isnt "smoke and mirrors". Neither is ambient occlusion and the laundry list of things that the kz2 engine does -SPECIFIC- to the Kz2 console engine. Crysis uses "Smoke and mirrors' do you think every rock is detailed and modeled for the ground, or is it just a normal map? Pointing out that a PS3 engine does something every engine does, including the Unreal Engine means absolutely nothing, since the unreal engine on the 360 can't prod...
Its because the 360 has the specs of a 5 year old computer with no new technology. Thats why Gears2 looks shockingly just like Gears1 and most unreal engine games. Not 1 single 360 exclusive can hang with any of the titles I've mentioned technically/visually. Its why you don't need a $5000 dollar computer to run multipatform games. They are limited to run optimally on a 4 year old computer. Your videocard is pretty much from the future when you're loading up COD4/MassEffect.
Gwa...
Its kind of annoying that every interview is clearly from E3, where he stated many times hes not talking about GT5 at e3, just the crappy portable game that I didn't shell out 600 dollars for a PS3 for. You know, that one?
I'm passed the point of looking forward to GT5, im sure it will be great once it finally shows up, but PD is serious as hell about the media blackout. I mean even in the year 2000+ Everything, and i mean EVERYTHIGN is leaked via TMZ or some random poster on a ...
Sales are good for people who own stock in company. Sales don't make games higher rated, or better quality technology.
Can't play sales, you can play prototype2 though when it comes out next week with horse armor, re-textured models in the same engine & a $60.00 pricetag. And im sure it will have sold better than Infamous2 as well.
Sales are important for to franchises for sequels like: Killzone2, Motorstorm1 & Motorstorm2-MotorstormPSP, Uncharted 1 & 2, ...
I think its because they are releasing digital copies w/hd movie for free.
You get your 1080p movie when you want to sit down and watch @ home, then you have the digital copy for your computer/whatever.
because they certainly pretended they could see the awesome quality of HD-DVD LOL. When that blew up on re-entry they then pretended digital downloads will have better quality than a disc...?
Its like bizzaro world.
If you want the best quality, its only on bluray. Its a luxury item at this point. If you cant afford it, then compressed HD with low data rates is your only option.
@antifanboy:
"The picture quality is only better because i...
I can see where hes coming from. Turn the history books back here on n4g and you'll see a very interesting trend from the 360 fanbase talking about motion controls. Not only were they a gimmick, for the Wii. But even with Eyepet demoing doing 1:1 hand/3d world interaction it was still a gimmick for the PS3. 6axis and any motion control period was a gimmick. The exact same history books will show you that the 360 is a hardcore console only for gaming and.. "if I wanted to watch movies, I'...
I doubt they could pull off much better than Uncharted2/Killzone2/MGS4/Last Guardian/GT5..I mean theres a trend where developers go to really exercise their technical talent. The engines are already in place, and Uncharted2 is open source. The networks are there to cut down on development costs.
3 choices:
1. They can go to Sony and get in their dev chain, make a phenomenal never before seen title.
2. They can go to Microsoft learn from Remedy how to ma...
Tried Arma2.. BF1943 just... sick of the genre.. maybe i got too old?
I think its because I was a heavy PC gamer before this gen started, and it kinda started with a Renaissance of FPS games.. they are great.. but I was kinda waiting around for the next big merging of genres, hasn't seemed to happen.
Im shocked that Call of Duty is at the stage in its IP that it can charge 150 dollars for its collectors edition. I'm shocked that it comes with NVG's that probably hav...
Sony wasn't a distant second either from any of the competition for 3-4 years. Sony killed all the competition including Microsoft, and had an extraordinary lineup. Not getting a map pack a week earlier. Sony/others introduced new technology to gaming(hi DVD), not obsolute tech,(Hi DVD). MS isn't pioneering anything in gaming, as Sony is/did. I mean they did pioneer going backwards in hardware quality, thats something Microsoft can chalk up for themselves. Hell almost every new IP sony debute...
