That's going to be a good game on all platforms. Probably one of the best performing multiplatform titles this generation.
Seeing a multi-platform game that even comes close to exclusives (let alone be on the same level as exclusives) is proof in and of itself that his word carries more than just a little weight.
In fact, I'd give it more weight than a PS3 exclusive developer, because they don't have both consoles to compare development with.
Developers aren't lazy, they're business people.
Like any good business person, they're not going to spend 4 years working on something that won't get them at least double the profits of something that only takes 2. (there's a little bit more complicated stuff to do with fixed and variable costs n jazz, but you get the idea)
The only thing that shows a "lazy" developer is an unfinished game, and even then it's a split between a lazy developer and a d*ckwad ...
Megatextures.
/argument.
should never be used in the same sentence. No technology is future-proof. All M$ would have to do to make it not future proof is put a 4X blu-ray drive and an updated version of the cell or similar processor, and bam future-unproofed.
I don't get how anyone can think the PS3 is future proof. If it's that good, people will just build on it, and it will then be inferior. It's natural technological cycle.
I think the only PS3 exclusive that looks better than most 360 exclusives is Heavenly Sword (haven't seen enough of uncharted), so no... not fact. Opinion.
If you break it down to graphical numbers, you'll probably find most 360 games are pushing more polys and higher res textures most of the time.
HAHAHAHAHAHA lolled... bubbles.
Honestly, Gears 2 and killzone are very comparable. It's hard to say which end product will look "better" without playing the actual games. I'd say they're definitely close enough to be a toss up for a lot of people, and that's saying something considering one game's been in development for 1-2 years, and one game's been in development since before the generation started.
Dodge viper vs. Impreza on a mountain is a good way to look at it.
Like he says, given an infinite amount of development time, you can do great things on the PS3. The 360 is just far easier. It's not just parallel processing either. It's the fact that it's a very complicated parallel processing system, with complicated memory, and a couple bottlenecks.
Think of it like 5 people in a house getting dinner, except with crazy directions. When you go to the kitchen you ha...
The faces of the cube have different markings on them. The camera can interpret them in 2d as 3d because it has reference points in space. All it needs is the 4 corners and the plane is defined, then a few markings to show what side it is.
You could do that with any webcam and some programming.
You know the PS3 controller does almost the same thing (mechanics wise) as the 360's d-pad. The 360 just has a thing between the pad and the sensors.
The guy walks REALLY slow.
I like the clean graphics and lighting though.
but it's a port on a multi platform engine. The port won't take 2 more years if their engine doesn't suck.
It's my understanding that their porting the game while their doing the translation for other regions. Considering it's a lot easier to go PS3>360 than 360>PS3 (ESPECIALLY when you design the game to be portable), I wouldn't expect the delay to be too much longer than it would have been anyway.
Zelda is slowly killing itself...
It's easy to judge spelling when you're sitting behind firefox.
Can't you think of something less petty than mocking his spelling of two words?
They don't account for other new technology coming. There's a lot more coming now than when DVD was first released. There's seriously more likely upcoming alternatives to blu-ray than you can count on your hands. Not only that, but a lot of them have significant benefits over blu-ray.
There's flash memory, HVD/C, DD, etc. Then different variants and services for each of those. It's got a lot more working against it than DVD did. I wouldn't be surprised if storage mediums lost sta...

and in theory, a honda civic can be more powerful than a ford mustang.
On PS3, he's said the cell is powerful, the GPU is less powerful, and the RAM is crippling. (go to IGN, find the rage idtech5 tech demo and watch it). The PS3 version pre-compression hassle was going to be the worst of the three because of it. The artists actually had to create two versions of most levels because the PC/360 versions had higher performance.
Not much has passed gears on EITHER console. Killzone is comparable to gears 2, but it's not even out yet. Uncharted was good, but not nearly as detailed. MGS4 was good too, but again not as detailed.
Killzone 2, Bioshock, Gears/2, and Rage are the most graphically impressive games I've seen so far (graphics not art). I haven't seen GAMEPLAY from many other games that compares.
doesn't anyone review the actual gameplay? Everyone is saying how awesome the level designer is, but from what I've played of it the gameplay is what's going to hurt it if anything.
