Saboteur's unique PS3 anti-aliasing

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:54:59 GMT

If there's one element of multi-platform development that comes up repeatedly in our Face-Off coverage, it's the implementation of anti-aliasing on current-generation HD consoles.

It's often the case that the Xbox 360 version of a game features edge-smoothing, while the PlayStation 3 counterpart will either leave it off altogether, scale it back, or use an NVIDIA specific technique called "quincunx", which refines edges nicely, but blurs the entire texture in the process.

The PS3 rendition of Pandemic's The Saboteur is different though. It's special. It's trying something new that's never been seen before on console, or indeed PC, and its results are terrific. In a best-case scenario you get edge-smoothing that is beyond the effect of 16x multi-sampling anti-aliasing, effectively delivering an effect better than the capabilities of high-end GPUs without crippling performance.

PS3: It Only Does No Backwards Compatibility

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 15:56:40 GMT

DualShockers writes:

"Recenlty, whilst watching the most recent yearly console "prize fight" on CNET I began to think about one very important topic that wasn't really discussed. Something that definitely would have made the most recent match up a much more even fight, and might have even swayed it in the 360's favor. Its something that Sony fans have been accustomed to for quite sometime and at the same time Xbox fans are experiencing for the first time this generation. That little something is a lovely feature called backwards compatibility..."

Halo: Reach Bigger Than God of War III? Impossible

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 01:33:47 GMT

PS3Informer writes, "Greenberg may be jumping the gun a little by already proclaiming Halo: Reach as the biggest game of 2010. Is his prediction valid? Seems like a lot of heavy hitters are going to give Halo: Reach a run for its money. Games like Starcraft III and Final Fantasy XIII have been a decade in the making and their fan following are enormous."

EA CEO: Betting on PS3 Put Us in a Position of Weakness

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:06:37 GMT

We made the call that PS3 was going to be bigger than the Wii, and we allocated resources accordingly. We got that wrong, and that put us in a position where we probably under invested in our intellectual property and some of it went into a kind of wane period. What makes this all the harder, and harder on investors, is that we have to come, if you will, from a bit of weakness to rebuild our core and drive transition. So I get the skepticism."
