you 360 users can harp all you want but there is already a fundamental graphical difference between 360 games and ps3 games. The difference is currently minor but growing.
let me spell out the chief differences to you.
1) # of objects onscreen / # of onscreen interactions. This is the Chief reason you won't see a huge graphical advantage of the ps3 over the 360. The ps3 environments (especially first party and exclusive) are incredibly lush, populated, and varied. The 360...
I'd have agreed with you on your assessment... 6 months ago. But these additional updates from Sony are showing that there's a lot more to the ps3 hardware including a previously non-existant hardware scalar that now is partially usable.
Anyway, my point if you read my post earlier is that Sony did take the high road in indicating ON THE BOXES that games not 1080p native aren't listed as 1080p, unlike MS.
Now for the memory limitations, I can respect your argument an...
True. I probably overstated it a bit. But some of these console players (especially those virgin to K&M) are crazy if they think thumbstick controls are tight.
Tight enough for you console FPS fans but looser than a thai h**ker for us Keyboard/Mouse FPS players. I'd like to see you play your console dipstick against a real FPS player. Forget your 640p resolution. 1600 x 1200 at 60+ frames per second and twitch skills ownz any console FPS wannabe.
I'd love to see you try me on in Hl2 (if it were only cross console/pc compatible). I'd nail you with the crossbow across the arena w/o zoom. Especially if you try a jump on me. Have you hangi...
when you put it in a slant that way, I guess you're right. But let's get a full disclosure on that shall we?
Let's see what John Carmack says:

Oh yeah PS3 is more powerful but 360 is easier to program.
There now we have the full picture, let's use some logic instead of just spewing lies. Just because MS or even So...
You ask a great question. Microsoft doesn't have any qualms about telling consumers their upscaled 720p game to 1080p is "1080p" hence why you see labels of 360 titles with 1080p. They are blatantly lying to consumers unlike Sony which is trying to take the high road on "truth" of resolution in games.
Both systems can default upscale to 1080p. But only the PS3 has more True NATIVE 1080p titles. Look into the Beyond3D forum threads and you'll see that to be ...
LBP is a physics simulator with sackboys. You think the 360 is really going to do better when the cell is clearly the better chip for physics simulations?

I'd really like you to repeat what you said on the beyond3d forum. Let's see if they don't laugh at your *cough* BS *cough*
That's exactly what I'm saying. MS preys on the consumer's ignorance. You don't even know that the 1080p on your 360 game isn't TRUE 1080p. It's all 720 upscaled. That's what this list is about. True 1080p games. There's even less 1080p games on the 360. The PS3 can default upscale to 1080p but Sony doesn't "market" the game as 1080p on the back of the box.
What world are you from that you don't know higher end systems can render the same game better. Haven't you played games on an older PC and then installed it on a newer one and done comparisons? This idea of forward compatibility isn't a sell. Its old PC tech with "magical" marketing on top.
True they are mostly PSN titles. but we get full fledged disc games in PSN unlike you guys. Also, just because MS blatantly puts 1080p on the back of each of their games doesn't mean you have any bragging rights to speak about. Upscaled 1080p from 720p is not 1080p. Look at this list of true 1080p 360 titles:
Fifa Street 3
NBA Street Home Court
Boogie Bunnies
Virtual Tennis 3

This idea of forward compatibility is an interesting concept but I think flawed as well. This is suggesting that future games made for the xbox 720 should run on the 360.... right? But why would MS want to do that? Wouldn't this delay the hardware transitions that they want people to do? Plus it also means 2 things.
1) The next xbox will not have a blu-ray drive. 360's can't read bluray discs right, so it can't be used.
2) This will demand downloading for the 360...
Most of the games touted on the 360 exclusives are old at this point and very few are that compelling from a ps3 player's perspective. Only game I'd want to buy is Mass Effect b/c I love Bioware stuff, but that's about it. Bioshock looked cool in August but when Uncharted came out and ps3 players saw real liquid physics vs. 2d texture sprays/water mosaics...you could see the programming talent evident in Sony's first party studios... and it's been pretty much that way since.
The game could be done on wii or the ps2. What's your point?
The crux of the argument is not if a port can be made, but whether a perfect port is possible. Port yes. Perfect Port no way. Too much disc content needed to be compressed.
You don't need to troll.. but this last statement is true. How is any arcade owner going to play this game? Some of you guys really think that DVD streaming technology is going to be able to handle all the content?
I'm sorry but No. that part won't be possible (at least currently). You can't compress 50 gb of data into one or two discs and expect a DVD reader to stream, decompress, and display 1080p info on the fly. Compression and streaming are two different technologies and do...
wow 700 mb to 8 mb? Are you talking about text files with repeating info? If that could be done for multimedia files, why would companies put out DVD or even bluray? Why not just stay with cartridges?
Why are scientists looking into holographic storage mediums? They should just all give up and figure out how to compress everything better. I mean we could one day put 1 petabyte of data into a floppy disk. Hooray beer.
you'd be dreaming if a perfect port could be done. Just the amount of data compression needed makes me shudder. The amount of space this game took up was 33gb of a formatted dual layer bluray disc. There would be compromises, no two ways about it. Not saying the game couldn't run though, but there'd be a discernable difference. Probaby no surround 7.1, Realtime generated scenes would have to be turned into mp4 movies. Movies would have to run at 540p to store all the movies (unless more ...
what do you know about sales expectations? MGS4 has shipped 4 million copies... That's really good considering gears did 3 mill.
It takes 1 mill copies sold to recoup investments on high end games these days...
I don't want gears... that game is older than bioshock. I don't care about old laurel games. Bring on the new 1st party stuff.
I don't mind guys playing girl charcs... but the ones that "play" the game by flirting, acting girly, and want gifts are the Gayest bunch I have ever met. Without a doubt queer for peer, gay for pay.
