REMINDER : FACTOR 5: LAIR only possible on ps3

after seeing the new amazing LAIR screens one should be reminded that FACTOR 5 aimed to use 50% of ps3's power and they also said back at TGS that LAIR could not be produced for x360.

here is the link

IGN: Quick Fanboy wars question -- Could Lair be done under its current spec on the Xbox 360? If so, why go with the PlayStation 3 "only" instead of going cross-platform?

Eggebrecht: Lair in its current form couldn't be done on 360. We are using large amounts of Cell's SPUs for all of our geometry, landscape, simulations, animations, even troop AI. When we create a game, we absolutely focus on the platform it is designed around. Would we do one for 360, it would be a different game and a different engine -- most crucially perhaps though: Lair is an entirely different game without the motion control and gesture recognition
since it was designed around it.

IGN: What advantage does Blu-ray afford you now? Everyone talks about how great the extra storage space is but are you actually using it for Lair?

Eggebrecht: The single level at TGS alone takes up 4 Gigabytes of data. We are using every ounce of that due to streaming of our textures. Sure you could chop them all down to tiny sizes and we would fit, but then again, it would not be the same game. In addition to all the textures and geometry, we also do have video on the disc, and all of that is in native 1080p resolution. Thanks to Blu-Ray we don't need to worry about that and can still fit the whole game on a single disk.

Thank you, finally there's a dev team that tries to utilize the PS3 and doesnt sit on their hands and cry "ITS TOO HARD." EA and Ubisoft should learn something from them :PTakiwara

Only 50%? Come on. Go 100%. I wanna see what the ps3 can do. I hope killzone 2 goes 100%.lazeaai

dont worry friends.

i am sure RAPIDMIND's new SDK would enable devs to use 60% power

each char in LAIR has 50x more polygons and textures than each char in GEARS........dont forget that.

the water clearly expose the level of details in LAIR

LAIR has for sure killed any competition for ps3......

oh man i want to fight that 1km length dragon
