Proof that Xbox360 held Prototype back

Because of the Xbox360's weak hardware, many games that are multiplatform has been held back graphically and their content cut short. Just look at the perfect example, Prototype. It's multiplatform and built for all 3 platforms, 360, PS3, and PC. And then look at Infamous, a game made exclusively for PS3. Those two games are like day and night. Because Prototype was made for 3 platform, it had to be built so the weakest platform Xbox360 could run it. And in turn, that sacrificed the draw distance, scale, and content that the other two more powerful platform could have had. That's why it's textures, draw distance, city, and framerate are no where near the quality of Infamous, which was built from the ground up on the PS3. For example, in Infamous you can see the whole city as far as the horizon. In Prototype, there is a thick cloud and smoke all around and you can't even see more than 4 blocks away. There are a ton of pop in, and the textuers are very weak. Prototype is locked down for a certain FPS Xbox360 can handle it while Infamous runs at a smooth 60fps. Just look at the two games and you realize that had Prototype been built from ground up on the PS3 or PC, it would have been as great graphically as Infamous. But because it had to lower the bar so the Xbox360 can run it as well, a lot of things was sacrificed, and that impacted gameplay greatly as well. So did the Prototype devs make a mistake by making the game for the Xbox360 as well? Who knows, but all you have to do is look at Infamous and come up with your own conclusion.Nvidia28

The sad part is that you actually believe that crap:|

sorry but infamous draw distance and pop-in is pathetic and fps suffers a lot. on the other hand, prototype sacrificed graphics for a smoother experience. btw, infamous runs at 30 or even sub 30 fps.

spot on!

That's not proof. It's just a difference in deveolper talent :|

Hahahahaha.....ohhhh...you were serious.

Gears 2 looks better than Resistance 1....both are shooterz...omgz....360 is better!!!

Thanks for the laugh.

I hope this is a joke.

Then why does the PS3 version have that crappy install error?

I wanted real proof, dagnammit.

I hope this is a joke.

Must be a joke. I always thought it was the PS3 that held multiplatforms back. Isn't the PS3 harder to program for?

That's the developer's fault. Look at other multi-platform games that look great and run great on both the 360/PS3.

This thread is a joke. The 360 hardware isn't holding the graphics back. In fact, there are many multiplats on the PS3 and Xbox 360 that looks better on the 360. Take a look at Fallout 3.

This isn't proof.

Well, PS3 Prototype's review isn't up yet (ZOMG T3h ubber conspiracy is back!!) if it scores way better than the 360 version, I could consider agreeing with you.

If scores about the same, just meh!

I came to see proof and I didn't get any. Theory debunked. While Prototype certainly doesn't look as good as inFAMOUS, it still has a better framerate with a lot more action on the screen.

You won't have any "proof" unless you ask the developer yourself.

I can't believe that you consider that proof. Even worse are the people agreeing with you:? That is the worst part!

Yea because so many games look bad on the 360 and great on the PS3.....

Thats no proof.

Given the fact the inFamous is a 1st party title with an engine optimized for the ps3. While on the other hand the makers of prototype used a multiplatform engine which in most cases is inferior to a 1st party engine. In short, given that these 2 games are on the same genre, they cant be compared to see which has the better console.

FINALLY. THIS is the proof i have been waiting for. Thank you sooo much for informing me about the 360 holding back the ps3 back. CURSE YOU XBOX!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though Infamous while fun its graphics arent stellar, and its popin with framerate dips every not and then is a poor example of the power of the ps3.

I've noticed that lately..the number of cows!

I cant really comment yet as I havent played either game.

That's not proof. It's just a difference in deveolper talent :|

I don't know what's worse, the fact that the TC thinks that his post constitutes as proof...or the fact that people are agreeing with him. :(

anyone whos not a blind fanboy will know this is true.......just watch as the medal gear series dies with rising.....another multiplat....Supa__Mario

maybe, but I do know that Infamous also has pop ins as well, People appear out of nowhere, its kind of creepy sometimes. But I also know that you can see the rest of the city from one island to the other, its pretty amazing really.

That's not proof. It's just a difference in deveolper talent :|

And I was naive enough to believe there was solid evidence this time...

i laughed pretty hard when you said inFAMOUS ran at a smooth 60 FPS.

Fixd it for ya.

So because of the Xbox 360's weak hardware, Resident Evil 5 and most other mutliplatform games look better and play better on the Xbox 360 rather than the Playstation 3? Yeah that is what I thought.....
