......about whether the PS3 is worth it. Acording to Bethesda Oblivion will have higher resolution textures, and a "few" add ons but thats it.
Apparently a bottleneck in the PS3s memory architecture is making it difficult to add all of the DL content the PC and 360 has. Apparently it can't run ALL of the DLs at once only some so its only getting a couple choice addons...why bother even making it then? What happened to the cells 7 SPEs and the fact that the Cell while not only supposing to be a geration ahead of oter processors is suppose to be a multi-tasking machine, and the RSX GPU was suppose to be designed to flawlessly communicate with the Cell.
Bethesda said the content could be put on the PSN market place, its just that the system cant run all of downloads like the 360 can with out taking a performance hit.
And this also makes see why the other Multiplat games have DL content on the 360, but not on the PS3.........CoD3 maps any one?
Not saying the PS3 sucks but they had better find a way around it. DL content is a big must for me.
If this oblivion thing turns out to be true, Im going to be dissapointed. Seriously reconsidering why I bought a PS3 now.
If it comes to limited DL content in the future I may get rid of it then.
There is hope though. A while back Gamespot printed an article stating that the PS3 could share it memory just like the 360 does. So if this is true, then Bethesda is either Just being lazy or its a silly rumor. Because apparently thats the problem, the 360 memory 512MB is shared and can be allocated as needed for running differnet parts of games, were the PS3 RAM is split 256MB each, but Like I said GS covered this and Sony reps said that the Memory could be shared if needed.
For now Ive canceled my PS3 Oblivion order and will wait for Confirmation on the DL content. NO DL Content, No Oblivion, simple as that. and if PS3 games continue to follow this route, then no more PS3.....and just when i was REALLY enjoying it to:( But DL content is a must for me...Im addicted lol.
