"360 is maxed out gears 2 and developers statements prove it "
Epic really has no one to blame but themselves. They played the fake marketing shot game with the first Gears of War and the press went along with them because the 360 desperately needed something to try to get rid of the Xbox 1.5 label.
No one is falling for it this time and so the actual in game screenshots of Gears of War 2 that had everyone in shock over how bad they looked end up lookin...
"its more or less the same as the first one"
Yep, the first videos and screenshots of the game comparing it to the first one people were getting confused about which were the new shots and were actually praising the first game's screenshots as 'much improved'.
Epic's problem this time is no one is falling for the infamous fake Gears of War bullshots they so carefully made sure only got released for the first game.
The first Gears of War h...
It was basically a 'Man bites Dog' type of story which was the only reason it was of any notice. It was seized upon by Xbox fans who were desperate to have someone, anyone, to tell them what they wanted to believe.
Even more embarassing for the Splinter Cell developer was the fact that what he was claiming was manifestly absurd - and that was the suggestion the AI is made up of large amounts of if-then-else/branch instructions that the SPUs on the Cell chip weren't good at. Fir...
Starting?
Even launch titles like Ridge Racer ran at 1080p 60fps on the PS3 while only running at 720p on the 360.
Oblivion was graphically superior on the PS3 compared to the 360.
Other than a couple botched EA ports and GameTrailers playing video capture games, over compressing PS3 video captures to give the impression the PS3 version was inferior, and of course the infamous incident where they were caught redhanded fabricating a PS3 vs 360 compa...
Ubisoft made no such claims. It was a single member of the Spliter Cell Team - who are hardcore PC/directx types. The type of guys you always hear crying about the PS3 being 'hard teh program' because its not like anything they can handle.
The guy on the Splinter Cell team learned to keep his mouth shut when people started posting videos of the amazingly retarded AI in their games. Haven't heard a peep from him since.
The PS3 version is almost certainly going to be hamstrung by Ubisoft targeting the game's art assets at the gimped 7gig 360 DVD like GTAIV and DMC4 were.
Developers really need to start targeting the PC and PS3 first with their similar graphics power and storage capabilities and then come out later with downgraded ports for the 360's weaker graphics hardware and absurdly small 7gig DVD storage format.
The screwed up 360 graphics hardware only has 10 megs of EDRAM. That means that it can only do 4xAA for Wii resolution framebuffers, 480p.
Anything larger than 480p and you are forced to split up your framebuffer into tiles and render them in sequence. A nightmare for developers to deal with since so much work is required for something so basic on PCs and the PS3. Also it hurts performance because you are having to render all objects that overlap tiles multiple times.

How can you possibly claim one company is following another when the example you use to illustrates your point is of a product that came out in 2003 - two years before the Wii existed.
I don't think they make Mini B to Mini B cables that would be requried to connect a PS3 controller to a PSP. At least I've never seen one.
PS3 Eyepet?
You're actually trying to say that is some attempt to 'follow Nintendo'?
It's a very advanced and modern version of:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
from almost twenty years ago.
Has absolutely nothing to do with Nintendo.
This would mean it would have Bluetooth built in since that is what the PS3 controllers use. You most likely could use Bluetooth headsets which would be nice. Adding support for the PS3 controller most likely was something easy to add and not the primary purpose.
It would be for bringing your PSP to a place with a TV and hooking the PSP up with cables and being able to play at a normal gaming distance.
Microsoft really does have some sort of bizzare fixation on Halo. I remember reading interviews with Microsoft people before Halo 3 was released suggesting the entire face of gaming would suddenly change and that their competitors would 'have no answer'.
The game was released. The same people who bought Halo last gen bought Halo 3 this gen. The same people who didn't care about the franchise last gen went right on not caring about the franchise this gen. The gaming world went r...
Computer graphics is not the Special Olympics where 'everyone is a winner'.
Crysis, like FarCry have been milking the cover everything in foilage trick. But as soon as the you get indors or out in the open it looks like just another average graphics engine.
The Crysis guys also love to put out 'engine demos' which have nothing to do with the actual game graphics. The only way someone could honestly claim they thought actual Crysis in game graphics looked better than what we are seeing here is if they like scanned images for materials vs the more hand p...
It is amazing when you realize that actual Killzone 2 gameplay, even the 32 player multiplayer graphics look far beyond the silly fake marketshots Epic loves to try to pretend are real.
I don't think I've ever seen a console generation where a system like the PS3 has such a massive graphical power advantage over the weaker system with the 360.
I remember reading some dimwit who everyone said was a developer on beyond3d 'proving' graphics like these would never be...
You have to be joking.
Regardless if you own a PS3, Wii, PC or 360 it is perfectly clear what Home is and what it consists of. People have been able to watch videos of people inside of Home to understand perfectly what the service is.
Someone used different words to describe such a huge online service? No one cares.
I don't know of anyone who actually bothered to complete GTIV. Easily the worst GTA ever.
People talk about how add on content won't matter by the time it arrives because people will have long since moved on to better games. It is shocking to see so many people have tossed the game aside so long before anyone would have ever thought. Rockstar has fallen so far from the GTA San Andres days where people were essentially living inside the game for months and months.

"Because the first Gears achieved so much graphically"
You're joking...right?
