Madden 08, NCAA 08 & All Pro 2k8 = 60 FPS on 360. PS3 = 30 FPS! PWNED!!!!!!!

Quote:

We have confirmed the Xbox 360 versions of Madden NFL 08 (August), All-Pro Football 2K8 (July), and NCAA Football 08 (July) will run at 60 frames per second, whereas the PS3 editions are locked at just 30fps. In the simplest of terms, this means that the 360 versions will run smoother and faster, and you'll have an easier time noticing subtle animations.

As a PS3 owner, I'm personally bummed out over this news because I LOVE sports games. Maybe it's time for me to trade in my PS3 for an Elite....???

Glad I have a 360. Seems more multiplats better on 360 and this time it is a big one. Madden is a huge seller.

Wow. This made my day. :(

I'am going to sleep.

What's got two thumbs and doesn't give a crap?

Bob Kelso, haven't we met?

Isn't it because 1080p only got 30 fps?Redgarl

I don't believe they'd make different resolutions for the 360 and PS3, it makes very little sense to do so.

Then why post ?

I would love to know the reason from EA.Forza_2

We want to make sure that we give the best experience we can on each platform. In designing a game, there are all sorts of tradeoffs that include frame rate, visuals, features, AI, etc. Football is an extremely challenging sport to replicate because of the number of people on the field, their interaction, and the scope of the environments. As you can see, every company making a football game this year made a decision that the best experience for the Xbox 360 included 60fps whereas the best experience for the PS3 was 30fps. We certainly believe that both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are our football products are outstanding experiences and recommend that each gamer look at the entire experience, not just one aspect. We think they'll be very happy no matter which version of the game they play."

Because this is an internet forum, and I'm voicing my opinion on that topic.

I didn't know that...

Anyway, he really didn't say anything and it's easy to understand why.

Really ? Then let me report you and see what happens.

Sounds like the first step in your recovery from Mad Cows Disease

More on topic maybe?

Ok, simple:

Developers have no desire spending time and resources recoding for a PS3 version, which is required.

Really it's quite absurd in spending billions on making the PS3 the most powerful system, Sony neglected the Graphics Card which is always the most crucial on all consoles.

Just a question. Was Madden 07 on 360 30 fps? If it was, then I guess I can deal with it on PS3. I have to wait to see the difference though.asdasd

yep

Meh. Doesn't affect me much. I had no plans on buying any of those games for either system.

They are recoding the games otherwise the games won't even run. The programmers are finding it hard to get the same games to run on a two different GPUs with one being much weaker than the other. You'll notice that most performance issues are directly graphics relately meaning the RSX can't push the same frame rates at the same texture resolution without resorting to the CELL. No developer is going to start from scratch just so they can squeeze out those extra frame rates through the CELL when the RSX should be doing it in the first place.

Don't tell me something I already know.

And you said the same thing I did in a more round-about way. They are using their already developed game on 360 as the basis for the PS3 version. They don't completely retool the game for the PS3.

Which is what is required.

If Madden can run 60fps on 360, it can run at 60fps on PS3. End of story.

The developers have no desire the make it happen, which is unfortunate.

But at the end of the day, it's football games, and I couldn't give less ****

It's like the whole world is blaming poor performance on devs, when really they are doing the exact same job that they've been doing since the 8 bit era. The devs aren't lazy they are held by deadlines and budget restraints and don't have the time or money to get some fancy CPU to perform as a GPU.

Lets face it Sony screwed up, not the devs.

360 wins again

sersioly this sytem is unstoppable.

I believe so.

When it comes to multiplats this gen, 360 > PS3 always. Sony will just have to rely on their own games. I hope it delivers, if not, oh well.

How they heck can they not get this garbage to run 60fps? NGS runs 60fps and 1080p and looks leagues ahead. Lazy(or time constrained) devs :evil:.

Seriously, this looks like it could be done on ps2 with 60fps.

Why on Earth would they any developer have to be made to retool a game from scratch, historically speaking all games are made once and them ported to each console with each console showing it's strength and weaknesses.

I WOULD LIKE YOU TO MEET MR. POINT. I'M SURPRISED HE'S SLIPPED UNDER YOUR RADAR!

Also, Sony screwed up because they have different hardware than the 360? What if developers jumped on the PS3 bandwagon and make games on that instead? Would that mean MS screwed up because they didn't copy Sony's hardware design?

30 FPS on the PS3 = 60 FPS on the 360.DaysAirlines

Different hardware yes but even different hardware have classes, Nvidia and ATI both make GPUs with virtually identical performances. The problem is the RSX is a slower GPU than the Xenos, which is why Rainbow Six has lower texture, Splinter Cell has lower frame rate and no AA and so on and so fourth.

If both the PS3 and Xbox had GPU in the same class then there is no reason for any game to have lower frame rates or lower textures. Thats my POINT.

It has nothing to do with who's bandwagon the devs are on, thats just fanboy nonsense. The devs always wanna make the games look and run at it's optimal capability within the budget range.

Take a game like Virtua Fighter 5 the game was made on the PS3 and runs like butter, does that mean it's have lower textures and lower frame rate on the Xbox 360. NO because the Xbox 360's graphical core can handle it. Thats the point.

The RSX can't handle the same games the Xbox can and only via the CELL can it manage the same task which is not very practicle at this point in a conole's life span. Maybe in 5 years but not now.

sucks for PS3 owners

Glad I have a 360

We all know you despise the PS3 and get a rush whenever you read bad news regarding it. You can drop the charade.
