U keep bringing up scores but were talking about the graphics here. And even though cows do talk alot of crap in these forums, many sites believe uncharted>>gears graphically. Anyone who says no is blind, heck many game sites even think MGS4 looks better then gears. Dont get me wrong gears 2 will come out and prolly take the crown back but as of now uncharted is still the best looking console game and has been debated in system wars many times already it is the best looking console game. Just because some ppl love the first gears to death man doesnt mean it is the best graphical game, some lemmings need to understand that there will always be another better looking game to take that crown. Gears set the bench mark in graphics and was dethroned, but some of u just cant let that go and want to defend it even now when we already have games that look better then it.

IGN gave uncharted an 9.0 on graphics
IGN gave gears of war 10 on graphics

Gamespot gave uncharted no number on graphics but we'll assume it was between 8.0-9.0
Gamespot gave gears of war a 10 in graphics

Videogamer gave uncharted an 9 in graphics
Video gamer gave gears an 10 in graphics

Need i say more? I could post more sites but that seems to be the common trend, gears of war graphically>uncharted graphically.

PS3 has seven processors? Are you sure this guy is a dev. Because it sound like something that was made up on this baord.Marka1700

I don't think he is. Apparently he's the president of Terminal Reality, and presidents aren't usually developers. They're usually businessmen and PR spokesmen. Plus, as you've noticed, his comment about the number of processors on each platform doesn't make sense from a technical standoint.

Man I didnt want to bring this crap up man but since u insist. Show me anything from gears that look better then these.

Only some1 in denial that owns one system will be blinded to say gears of war 1 looks better then uncharted. Yes I will admit gears was prolly a better game all around but graphically uncharted>>gears.

Do you not realize scores are based on time frame and what games are available on the system. By your logic then Ocarina of Time equals gears of war graphics. Do you think gears of war would of still gotten a 10 in graphics if it was released today instead of 2006.

Lol no way look at killzone 2, the 360 only has any advantage because of the hard to do programing on the ps3 but that's it, it might mean sony fans have to accept the fact that only 1st and 2nd party games are going to look amazing but so be it
And as i've said before if it was an 360 only game it would look worlds better, the ps3 holds the 360 back in graphics.WilliamRLBaker

Logic is flawed, it's bassed on time frame and there was nothing close to gear of war when it was released so it was a shock to the system for everyone, a lot of sites have put uncharted of gears graphically, and having played both games uncharted is a leap foward from gears of war easy

yeah so the reason they did this is beacuse its pratically sony's product.....hmmm....plus techincally speaking it sounds like they devloped it first for ps3 and proted over and the port doesn't run well on the pc and 360 so they dumbed down the ps3 verison to be equal with the crappy ports like with say idk gta4....

VG247: Why choose to lead on the PS3?

Mark Randell: Very simple reason: Ghostbusters is the property of Sony Pictures.

Painballz

Pretty obvious why they would bad mouth the 360.. If they think it would have been better on the PS3 only, why make it multiplat? Oh that's right, you want more money. Hypocrites.

Ugh... This line:

The PlayStation 3 has seven processors and the 360 only has three, so seven versus three means you can do a lot more on the PS3.

Makes it sound like it came from someone on these boards rather than a developer.

mattbbpl
I totally agree. Especially since the X360 is 3 Power PC's with 2 threads each. This dev is either on the payroll or smokin too much hasheesh :lol:

[QUOTE="blackice1983"]yep if the 360 didnt exist ps3 games would have you install 10 -20 gbs of information to your hdd for faster load times and smoother frame rates . thanks alot 360Blackbond

what the hell are you talking about. If GTA IV was still PS3 exclusive we still would have everything GTA IV has and plus extra like cutomizeable cars, bikes, tanks, and able to play basketball in GTA IV like it had for GTA san andreas, but due to MS only dvd playable gta IV had none of that, to compensate for HD graphics for GTA IV they had to sacrifice all that.

LINK or forever hold your peace.

there is no linkits common sense, the rar file on torrent for gta IV for xbox 360 was about 7.30 and if you extract that file it comes out to about around 7.7 gb or more, and dvd9 which xbox 360 includes can hold upto 7.95 gb, so what do you think.

Then kindly close your mouth. If you can't back up your claims with any evidence then close your mouth. Do not state an opinion and act as if it is a fact. If you can't back it up then there is not point in you even bringing it up.

Ouch...

i wonder how good the game will be if he is treating an SPE the same as one of the 360 cores. is he some sort of idiot?

not really since 1 spe is capable of runing at up to 4ghz and is just as good as 1 of the 360s cores

LOL the nonesenses here are out of this world :lol:

CPU: Cell Processor

* PowerPC-base Core @3.2GHz (Prototype ran at 4.66Ghz)
> 64 bit, "Power Architecture" processor
> Dual issue, dual threaded, in-order processor.
> 235 square mm
> 235 million transistors
> Rambus XDR and FlexIO technology allow up to 100 gigabyte/s memory transfer rates.
> 90nm Process CMOS SOI
> 65nm CMOS SOI Process Started March 07
- 6GHz at 1.3V
- Dual power supply; enhances SRAM stability and performance using an elevated array-specific power supply, while reducing the logic power consumption.
> Power consumption has been estimated at 60 - 80 Watts at 4 GHz
* 9 Core CPU
> 1 Power Processor Element (PPE) - Acts as Controller (PowerPC Core)
> The PPE is dual threaded
> 8 Synergistic Processor Elements (SPEs) with 256KB "Local Stores" per Core
> Each SPE capable of 32 GigaFlops (32 bit)
* 1 VMX vector unit per core
* 512KB L2 cache
* 7 x SPE @3.2GHz
> 1 of 8 SPEs reserved for redundancy
> 6 SPE used for game applications
* 7 x 128b 128 SIMD GPRs
* 7 x 256KB SRAM for SPE
* Element Interconnect Bus (EIB)
* Direct Memory Access Controller (DMAC).
* 2 Rambus XDR memory controllers
* Rambus FlexIO (Input / Output) interface
* Test and Debug Logic
* Total floating point performance: 218 GFLOPS
* Capable of running at speeds beyond 4 GHz

* Synergistic Processor Elements (SPEs)

An SPE is a self contained vector processor which acts as an independent processor. They each contain 128 x 128 bit registers, there are also 4 (single precision) floating point units capable of 32 GigaFLOPS* and 4 Integer units capable of 32 GOPS (Billions of integer Operations per Second) at 4GHz. The SPEs also include a small 256 Kilobyte local store instead of a cache. According to IBM a single SPE (which is just 15 square millimetres and consumes less than 5 Watts at 4GHz) can perform as well as a top end (single core) desktop CPU given the right task.

*This is counting Multiply-Adds which count as 2 instructions, hence 4GHz x 4 x 2 = 32 GFLOPS. 32 X 8 SPEs = 256 GFLOPS

Like the PPE the SPEs are in-order processors and have no Out-Of-Order capabilities. This means that as with the PPE the compiler is very important. The SPEs do however have 128 registers and this gives plenty of room for the compiler to unroll loops and use other techniques which largely negate the need for OOO hardware

Oh dear :roll:

That does indeed sound like something someone here would say. The 360 is precisely 357 better than the PS3.

The SPEs also include a small 256 Kilobyte local store instead of a cache. According to IBM a single SPE (which is just 15 square millimetres and consumes less than 5 Watts at 4GHz) can perform as well as a top end (single core) desktop CPU given the right task.

*This is counting Multiply-Adds which count as 2 instructions, hence 4GHz x 4 x 2 = 32 GFLOPS. 32 X 8 SPEs = 256 GFLOPS

Like the PPE the SPEs are in-order processors and have no Out-Of-Order capabilities. This means that as with the PPE the compiler is very important. The SPEs do however have 128 registers and this gives plenty of room for the compiler to unroll loops and use other techniques which largely negate the need for OOO hardware

And what this brings to gaming? nothing ?, explain then why GTA 4 for the ps3 is 630p with no AA :lol: u can have your imaginary felling ''ownage'' and your numbers.

i wonder how good the game will be if he is treating an SPE the same as one of the 360 cores. is he some sort of idiot?

not really since 1 spe is capable of runing at up to 4ghz and is just as good as 1 of the 360s cores



LOL the nonesenses here are out of this world :lol:

So a few more cars on screen & tad better physics are possible if devs bust their b***s? Cooooooolio :P

Seriously though, the cell is a blessing in the PS3, due to it lacking in the GPU dept. This is why MOST devs say, "They're pretty much equal". And posting those big numbers will do nothing but bring people in talking about "teh hidden p0wa" :lol:

Theres been a nasty rumor going around that PS3 version of GTA IV runs at 640p all started by posters on forum Beyond3D which many news outlets ran as "real" confirmation, more specifically the poster named Quaz.
Quaz who admits to only owning the Xbox 360 version of the game, speculates the PS3 version of GTA IV runs at 640p all from studying raw screenshot output sent to him from Dot50cal (another Beyond3D poster).

Well lay the rumors to rest not only considering Rockstar themselves confirmed both Xbox and PS3 versions to be running in native 720p

You keep liking me to forums post there is no confirmation from rockstar stop making things up :lol: the guys at beyond3D confirmed that is running at 630p and no one have proved them wrong.. so stop making things up and next time provide the official link from rockstar no,from gametrailers. :lol:

[QUOTE="blackice1983"]yep if the 360 didnt exist ps3 games would have you install 10 -20 gbs of information to your hdd for faster load times and smoother frame rates . thanks alot 360WilliamRLBaker

what the hell are you talking about. If GTA IV was still PS3 exclusive we still would have everything GTA IV has and plus extra like cutomizeable cars, bikes, tanks, and able to play basketball in GTA IV like it had for GTA san andreas, but due to MS only dvd playable gta IV had none of that, to compensate for HD graphics for GTA IV they had to sacrifice all that.

hmmm odd yet gta4 360 was finished months in advance they had to delay release to get the ps3 version up to snuff cause it took so long. ROCKSTAR has admitted the weak link was the ps3, and hd graphics? lol gta 4 doesn't even look as good as most of the worst looking games this generation, yet it got a 10 in graphics hmmm... *gta4 is overated*

I'm sure the game needed the extra 6 months dev time, not just because of the ps3 because from what ive read and heard it was only 2 weeks behind 360 surely a 2 week old build wouldnt take 6 months to get to the 360 level.... hmmmm.

Same with the sound business. Last I checked, Dolby Digital encoding on the 360 is performed by the sound chip, not by the CPU.

You dont think that SCEA and Sony Pictures run as seperate entities do you?

It always makes you wonder why this game and the James Bond games are not only on the PS3. When Sony owns the rights.

They are wrong because is been proven already at the Beyond3D forums no matter what resolution they took the video is still being upscaled from 630p to 720p.

This thread is turning into an exact replica of one over at the gametrailers forum with people quoting that same "Raw format" quote trying to prove it is infact 720p

It's not 'raw' it has already been scaled. The is no way to capture unscaled output from the RSX afaik.

well lets see

a 360 gaming site say this "We captured the raw video in uncompressed 720p, with no post-processing to either stream"

I've no doubt they captured the raw video in uncompressed 720p, with no post-processing. It still doesn't explicitly state the video hadn't already been scaled.

Even if they were implying that, they'd be wrong. GTA IV on the PS3 is sub 720p, get over it. Big name gaming sites like those are bloody clueless when it comes to any of the technical details anyway.

lol. I didn't wanna do this man! but you made me! you made me bring out the pictures, instead of listening to people that have been in the industry instead of people that have been playing games longer then us and are PAID to judge stuff i've pulled out the pictures and said let us users compare the screen shots! you just made me do it!

I'm sorry but pull out as many screen shots as you want, pull out video.
This still does not change the fact the common trend in ratings is that gears of war is better graphically then uncharted.
But I'll pull out some more numbers (numbers are much more trustworthy then the opinions of biased users, and screen shots, screen shots which can be altered.)

Gamerankings average score
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/928234.asp?q=gears
93.7%

http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/932984.asp?q=uncharted
89.2%

Vgchartz sales numbers
Uncharted-1.55 million

Gears of war-5.16 Million


And scores? i've all ready shown that the common trend among all sites is that gears of war graphically is better then uncharted graphically, the only places that commonly gave a higher score in graphics we're playstation only sites and thus we dont have a gears of war review from them so we have no comparison basis.

Face it critically, sales wise gears of war is better then uncharted, Is uncharted a bad game? YES! it is! i've played it its a crappy looking game in my opinion with brain dead AI, and stupid gameplay design, but it was such good crap it got a higher score then other ps3 games...which is kind of telling of the amount of bad games on the ps3.
