[QUOTE="funnymario"]Any proof to this "Simply because it is on the Ps3, it will be better" theory?Gamer46

yeah

cuz i said! i am always right and i say the ps3 version will be better!

if it isnt, then i will make out with ratchet in my bed.

you were wrong about the ratchet and clank vs smg bet.

:lol:

That's great, cows should be forced to put that in their sigs after all the talking they were doing before each game was released.

omg poor ratchet!!

Ratchet had a nice run at the top of the platform genre last-gen, Mario has now reclaimed his throne though. :)

yeah, i just made out with ratchet. hes a better kisser than i thought!

It's not powerful enough, and the biggest thing is it still uses the DVD(PS3 uses Blu-Ray).

This isn't a knock on the XBOX 360, it's just the truth, and Rockstar has already said it.

Rockstar is forced to dumb down the game so that both games will be at near the same level(even though the PS3 version will probably be better).

It sucks that it still isn't exclusive because the game would no doubt be better if it was exclusive to the PS3.

The cool thing about Unreal Tournament 3 is that the PS3 version is going to get all the great content. Epic isn't going to dumb downt he PS3 version so they'll be similar. The 360 version is going to have less content.

Out_Kast3000

With all due respect to Rockstar, no one is stopping them from making two different games for each console. Ohhh, but they want that profit. Sort of makes you not care anymore. And, if they had to make it for one console, it wouldn't be PS3. So, fanboys and Rockstar needs to shut it.

[QUOTE="Out_Kast3000"]

wow, fail.

First off, Mass Effect is not 70 hours, it's like a 20 hour game.

2nd, even if what you're saying is true about in game engines and filling up space, Many of the top games are CGI heavy(MGS, FFXIII). So they couldn't be done on the 360.

[QUOTE/]

From what I heard, 90% of MGS4 cut senses use ingame Graphics.

Besides telling us that one developer has made two games on more then two disc, I really don't see your arugment.

*Holds Temples* ok, lets get this over with. Both the 360 and PS3 are so similar in capabilities taht its kinda impossible fo rone to love miles better than teh other. The only Pro the GTA version on PS3 has is the BD space. But then again, that really dosent amount to much unless your main focus is taking advantage of that. Meaning its null in void for Multiplat. games. I suppose a built in HDD is a plus as well, but who knows if Rockstar is going to take advantage of that for the PS3 version or not. If your going to make a comparison thread, use facts please.

Yeah, didn't R&C do like 130,000 in sales or something? Kind of disappointing considering it's actually a real good game and was expected to be a top seller.

Yea, i don't really think it flopped (well not the actual game anyway) but I'm sure Rikusaki was hyping it AAA.

You're probably right. After reading some of his posts, I'd say it's fair to guess he was hyping it AAAA and "Game of Forever."

[QUOTE="osirisomeomi"]The worst thing about it is the loading times necessary for the game now (google the taxi rides). Thanks microsoft, put a standard HDD in there next time please.Gamer46

yeah the 360 version will have pop up plants and stuff.

Lol what? Why would the 360 version have pop-up plants? Cant the 360 handle the same amount of polys on screen as the ps3? Or are you just a noob that has no idea what hes talking about? You know that one high poly model on screen would take up the same amount of storage space on the disc and ram as 1000 identical models? It would be more likely that the ps3 version had more variety of plants. The disadvantage of the 360 not having a standard HDD is that 360s with no HDD cant store data in the cache for later use.

Read the other posts by Rikusaki and posts like that one about pop up plants will start to make sense.

I thought Memory was the cause of pop-ups. But now I see. DVDs are the cause of pop-up. Even though the DVDs in the 360 reads faster then the blu-ray in the PS3s. :|

I think Rikusaki was talking about 2D sprites instead of fully 3D plant models, but yea, the cause of pop in or pop up (whatever its called) is when the data doesn't get loaded into ram fast enough, and if what you say about blu ray having a slower read speed than dvd9 is true than Rikusaki looses both ways.

The Blu-Ray drive is fast. In Ratchet and Clank, it loads so fast, you never notice it. It loads while you are in the level and it is very smooth.

Congratulations. That made absolutely no sense in the context of what I just said (in syntax or in logic).

Why would they give it less content than the 360 version if they sought to make them match?

ok. but if they wanted to make it the same, they would only put 9gb of stuff for the 25gb blu-ray and that would be a waste. they should put all the extra content on the blu-ray.

But since they are not it tends to point to them having done a deal with Microsoft rather than lacking space on a DVD.

Like the ps2 did right? get over yourself.

Different devs for both versions. They will try to use each console to its full potential.

The fact that the guy thinks that there is no advantage to Blu-Ray and that MGS4 is possible on the PS3 shows he knows nothing on it.

The MGS4 devs have already said that he couldn't do MGS4 without Blu-Ray. Same with Uncharted, Killzone 2, etc. Not to mention other devs have said that they have had problems.

The XBOX 360 already has a game going 4 discs, funny.

I'm leaving it at that because I've just owned this thread with my above statements.

kthxbi

Out_Kast3000

Just like Lair devs said its not possible on 360. Just like Ubisoft said the next splinter cell isn't possible on ps3. Uncharted could be done on 360. I've played the demo and while looks great its nothing special. And the 4 discs is what? A heavily CGI cutscene intensive game. Mass Effect is 6.74 GB's and has 70 hours of gameplay which is about as long as guess what, Blue Dragon which is on 3 discs. FMV or CGI cutscenes take up way more space. Games that use in game engine for cutscenes have yet to fill up a single DVD9. Oh and Oblivion is another example of a game that took maybe barely over half of the space on a DVD9. That game was a long game too. 100+ hours i think. Wasn't there a ps1 game that was on 4 discs or more. Yes there was. No one complained then. Why are you making it such a big deal now. I know your just a die hard cow that can't take it that GTAIV is getting exclusive content on the 360 which the ps3 will never see light of day.

wow, fail.

First off, Mass Effect is not 70 hours, it's like a 20 hour game.

2nd, even if what you're saying is true about in game engines and filling up space, Many of the top games are CGI heavy(MGS, FFXIII). So they couldn't be done on the 360.

All you did was prove my point some more for me. kthx

And of course there was games for the PS1 that had 4 discs. Final Fantasy VIII is one of them and that came out like 5 years after the PS1 and there wasn't a better/cheaper format avaliable.

360 has a 3 disc game like a year and a half after release. And already has a 4 disc game too.

you obviously haven't played a bioware game. the main story alone is gonna be 20hrs. Its gonna take alot more time to complete all the sidequests that are in the game. You know that CD's were the best format at the time and it still took 4 CD's for FF VIII.
