[QUOTE="KingsMessenger"][QUOTE="1xcalibur1"] What's your point, man? You said it yourself. He has had his engine optimized for PC based processores. How freaking smart is that if one third of his target audience gets an inferior product? I dont care how safisticated you or anyone else think this guy is but that is stupidity right there. He should take lessons from Infinity Wards which had 2 seperate teams working on COD4. For some bizzar reason BOTH consoles were neck and tye on that one. So superior platform my hiney. GOW3 says hi for running at 1080P and 60fps. Infinity Ward's games don't push tons of polygons or have massive texture draws.... id's do. id relies on the GPU. Why should they hold the 360s GPU back for the sake of the PS3? And it isn't like it makes sense to write to completely different renderers for the two platforms, that is cost prohibitive. The RSX simply can't keep up with the Xenos. So, it falls behind and has a lower FPS. That is just the way it works... I'm sorry? Massive texture draws? You mean like the ones on GTA4, perhaps? Is that a big enough sandbox game for ya (which just for the record Rockstar claimed it could have looked completely different if it wasnt for the high compression due to space limitations by the 360). Well, surprise surprise game looks exactly the same on BOTH consoles. Once again you have absolutely no point whatsoever. History has proven that developing for the 360 then porting away to the PS3 ALWAYS messes up the PS3's final product. It's been done and said numerous times. On the other hand, developing the same game by 2 separate teams for some very odd reason it almost ALWAYS looked completely and entirely identical.
[QUOTE="KingsMessenger"]In terms of resources, and the way id's tech works, the 360 is just the superior platform. Yes, the quality of the textures is not as good due to compression, but that is irrelevant to the amount of processing power that it takes to render(the textures aren't smaller, just lower quality because of the lossy compression format). Comparing the RSX and Xenos, the Xenos can quite simply push more polygons and handle more texture data. Those are things that don't directly transfer to the Cell... No matter how you work it, the Cell can't be doing those things. And as with all id games, they are pushing the polygons and textures to the limit. The PS3 just falls behind in that regard. Blu-Ray doesn't magically solve that issue. Video RAM isn't an issue with the tech either so despite the RSX having access to faster memory, that is largely irrelevant when you consider the use of MegaTextures, so there isn't any advantages to be gained there. Their lighting solution uses a Forward Renderer which can't really be assisted using the Cell nearly as much as a Deferred Renderer would allow, so their lighting solution isn't assisted by the Cell. The game isn't overly physics heavy, and none of the physics in it are complex enough that they can't be handled by the Xenon. AI is basically the same way. In general, their entire engine is designed to be GPU-bound. Same as with most of id's other engines... Not really anything to do with him being unable to program for the PS3, just that his methods and habits aren't necessarily ideal for PS3 development... He is just VERY good at doing things his way. And his way makes use of a Forward Renderer that is highly optimized and able to push out tons of polygons and textures... So, no, it isn't at all surprising that the Xbox 360 is the superior platform for the engine. Because no matter how much PS3 fanboys want to insist that the Cell processor can do GPU tasks, it can't. It can do some nice post processing and assist the GPU on certain things, but it quite simply doesn't act as a second GPU. That is why the RSX is there to begin with... The RSX is needed to do the rendering. The Cell can augment that, but it cannot do that job nearly as well as PS3 fanboys want to believe... What's your point, man? You said it yourself.

[QUOTE="1xcalibur1"]WTF is this??? GOW3 says hi for running at 1080p and 60fps. This guy cant code for nothing or what???Teufelhuhn
God Of War 3 is 720p. Oh is it? http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/godofwariii/video/6211094 Stig Asmussen says otherwise. Listen carefully till the end.
Does it really look like a Commodor64 game to you?! jeez Please name one game that looks better than this. I have a 15000$ rig and I've seen Crysis at it's best...but it hardly attracts the eye like this. The boss fights are simply phenomenon IMO. Errr...1500 :P $15,000 on a Computer!? Dang do you have money to spend or something. Personally I would of used that for college, or a car, maybe even a down payment on a house.
