Why are non-scripted open-world games not possible on the PS3? (or have issues)

It's because ps3 has no games.

my brother is correct. ps3 has no games, what a shame....

Memory restrictions.

Its the main reason why Skyrim on the PS3 had issues when you've played one save game for many, many hours and why they may not bring in future DLC.

What are these open ended games you speak of that dont run well,please name them.

Split memory. 256MB dedicated RAM for the GPU sounds like a great idea, until you realize the system itself is left with only 256MB memory too...charizard1605

Because its hardware is rather ancient

This is just off the top of my head.

Assassins Creed, Assassins Creed 2, Assassins Creed Revelations, Assassins Creed Brotherhood, Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Infamous, Infamous 2, Red Dead Redemption, Kingdoms of Amalur, Dragons Dogma, Nier, Deus Ex:Human Revolution all run well on PS3.

If theres an open world game that runs like crap on PS3, then it runs like crap on 360 as well. (Skyrim, Fallout, etc )

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="StatusShuffle"] But there have been cases when a game had run better than the 360 version before even with the compromises and in those rare 2 cases it seems clear to me something else is causing the issues unless those 2 games were disguised as open-world.StatusShuffle

What comprimises does infamous have? What about Prototype 2 running and looking better on PS3.http://www.lensoftruth.com/head2head-saints-row-the-third-analysis/2/SR3 got 3/3 judges preferences.

[QUOTE="StatusShuffle"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] The games themselves were probably not as taxing on the system, then, or they used some 'cheats' to achieve the illusion of a continuous open world (like Metroid Prime, and its 'shoot at the door loading'). What games are you talking about, though?Maneil99

Wait what? Prototype 2 has half the budget of Prototype 2? And why does that even matter. Name the Compromises, and stop ignoring the SR3 Link

360 has more useable memory than the Ps3 due to the Ps3 having a bloated OS of 50MB, Xbox 360 OS overhead is only 32MB and thats with reserve space left for further updates, split memory architecture is another of the Ps3's problems which is the main reason that Skyrim does not run as well as on the Ps3.delta3074

Who cares about those types of games when you get movies like Heavy Rain? All you guys need to know is ps4 is locked and loaded. Strap it on, slap your momma, and get ready. Day fukin one! Get ready for more scripted, linear, world class, barn busting, spreadsheet busting exclusives. I would also like to say a special shout out to Ken Kutaragi. Your vision of high priced hardware with a hint of arrogance has put the Playstation brand on life support. Thank you Ken. We are forever grateful. todd2r_Partdeux

[QUOTE="StatusShuffle"] Infamous 2 made a few compromises.StatusShuffle

Any articles to back this up or just you making stuff up, slowdown occurs at somepoint in EVERY game even on PC
