Is gamefaqs just full of 360 fans?

Wasn't Uncharted 2 supposed to use about 90% or something like that?

I'm not sure, although I wouldn't be surprised.

They bragged about it before release, at least.

God of War 3 looked nice, but at no point did it look like anything the 360 couldn't handle, (especially as the frame rate on the demo seemed a little on the low side, certainly no more than 30fps, or in other words half as smooth as 360 Bayonetta, which in motion is the more visually impressive.)

In fact that whole argument is typically how PS3 fanboys respond to 360 fanboys, that the ps3 has much more untapped potential and that most games only use x% of the PS3s power. Well, that's great and all, but the PS3 is hardly a spring chicken anymore, which would beg the question why did Sony make it so hard to programme for, and also if it actaully is true then by the time they figure out how to use anything like 100% we'll be another four years down the line.

In other words, it's all bollocks. In terms of sheer grunt, the PS3 and 360 are very similar, and that's the bottom line.

probably to make a machine to last for a few will inevitably make it harder to programme for
compare the final ps2 games to the early ones they make them look like a pile of shit
i don't doubt that there is a lot of unused potential in the machine
but if it means it runs at 360 standards now but i don't need to buy a new console in two years and games will improve i don't see anything wrong with it
naturally teams working on ps3 games will get better at making games for it and things will get easier for them

i mean if you heard bayonetta was gonna be the best that the 360 would ever produce you'd probably be disappointed

lmao gamespot are hilarious

this is completely taken from the viewpoint of a xbox fan

Why should making a machine designed to last for longer than four years (the typical life cycle of a console) make it harder to program for?

That might work if the PS3 was a new piece of hardware, but it isn't, it's now over three years old, which is more than enough time for developers to get to grips with it and demonstrate it's alleged superiority.

Bayonetta looks glorious. If every game for the rest of this generation looked like that, I doubt anyone would complain. Anyway, I don't doubt that the PS3 is on paper marginally the more powerful machine, I just doubt that we'll ever get to the stage where that difference in performance is tangible.

Some machines are developed keeping in mind what other machines will be able to do in the future
I don't know exactly what sony was thinking but considring they felt they jumped a technological gap with the introduction of blu ray i wouldn't be suprised if they had plans that would involve other technologies jumping the gap
I'm not really in a position to comment on what else is in the works, but typically ppl in the elctronics development would be well aware of whats coming out
theres plans of making a new xbox and wii while sony stand by there console
I honestly just have faith in them for instance theres 4 processors in a xbox and 7 in a ps3, going by the ps3 exclusives such as mgs4 and uncharted 2, ps3 is quite far ahead of the 360 at the moment unfortunately most team don't see, to be able to utilise the technology this will inevitably change

The Last Guardian is probably going to be one of those games that people say couldn't be done on the Xbox. Hell, people say LittleBigPlanet is too much for the Xbox to handle.

well those guys have a tendency to push systems to new limits
i also trust they'd have picked the mosty suitable system

as far as LBP goes that has certain things about it that makes it graphics look far more realistic then anything we've seen on anything else

Yes, I'm very excited about that, even though I didn't really like Ico and never played SotC.

I can't see the 360 struggling with LBP to be honest; the PSP version of the game is nigh on identical to it's big brother, and in some ways I think it suits the PSP better than the PS3, at least in terms of playing through the levels, if not spending hours making your own levels. So yeah, if the PSP can handle LBP, I can't see the 360 having too many problems. Hmm, might go and play it now in fact.

Theres something very different about LBP
like it literally looks like you can touch it

until i see an xbox game have that appearance i can't imagine it doing it well not without keeping the look and feel

I take this back, as my old pal Params joined the board and started ruining it all.

Play the PSP version of LBP. It's brilliant, and with due consideration for the size of the screen, looks just as good as the PS3 game. If the PSP can do it, why could the 360 not?

Also, remember that a double negative is a plus; 'not without keeping' contradicts your intent with that statement. Yes, I'm a grammar whore.

Well, you can't directly compare a 40" 1080p image to one from a PSP screen, can you? PSP LBP obviously runs at a lower resolution, but it still looks great, it's every bit as smooth and colourful as the PS3 version. Download the demo from PSN and have a look.

I've played the demo. Not saying it doesn't look good, but it doesn't look as good as the PS3 version. The simple style helps it out a lot, but there's still a noticeable difference.

Of course there's a difference, but point is if the PSP can do such a good job of replicating the PS3's visuals, then why would the 360 struggle?

I dunno. I never said the graphics would be a problem. From what I've heard people just think the engine is too much for the 360.

The PSP version did that okay though, although it did reduce the amount of objects being handled by the physics engine in each level, as well as making each level only 2 planes wide (I think). People might be able to do more with it in custom levels though. There's community levels on the PS3 version filled to the brim with free moving objects.

are you running LBP at 1080p?

Of course.

seriously most boards seem to be full of people that don't have a game and hate it

i'm getting quite close to ditching it altogether

yakuza 3 and prototype boards are probably the worst ones i've been on
but boards which have similar gameplay to another game are normally really bad
and then theres the whole cross platform thing where ppl say how each version is inferior

i think its been mainly this gen things got this irritating
hopefully people start chilling out soon

They've had 3 years to chill. It ain't happening.

well i can break the space time continuum just noticed
my first gamefaqs contribution was more then 2 years before i joined or even heard fo the place o_O

It's true. I've found myself fighting off trolls on the Yakuza 3 and FFXIII boards. I think the biggest problem is the fact a lot of users there are losers, for lack of a better word. I think a lot of the hate stems from a few key elements:

-Fanboyism (this one goes without saying)
-Jealousy (a lot of people maybe can't afford a particular game, so they put it down as reassurance)
-Pickiness (making a mountain out of a molehill, in a way that screams they've yet to suffer any real harships in life)

Those are really the big three issues. Most of the people who put down the games tend to buy them eventually anyways, and usually disappear from the board.

You forgot about the people who are just douchebags.
