Hey Guys

Ran into this video through N4G.COM

Its all very well saying how much they have got out of the PS3... But If they have maxed out the PS3 now. What can we expect in the future?

Have a look, the comment is of course towards the end of the video around the 3:37 mark

Video

Enjoy

Sorry if this has already been discussed

I highly doubt its using full power, it just seems too soon. It looks freaking sweet, but i bet at very max its using like 80% if that.

no, uncharted 2 isnt using the ps3 at 100%. im sure we'll see better looking games down the road just like we did earlier its lifecycle when every other developer claimed they were running the ps3 at 100%.

Heavy Rain is probably the highest usage for the PS3 atm and I bet its only using like 45%. The processor speeds up super computers for example: Folding at home. No way any dev now in the ps3's early life is tapping it out at even 50% yet.

Even if it was running it at 100%, I'd be happy with that level of polish and eye candy for the duration of the PS3's lifespan. If it isn't, then all the better still. Either way, I'll be satisfied with it.

There is always gonna be a way to tweak the code to make it run more efficiently, the more devs get familiar with the hardware the more they will be able to use tricks in order ot get more out of the PS3 architecture then previously assumed. Besides Cell could never be maxed, it will only grow stronger now that ND has managed to get so much out of the processor.

I doubt it. No console is used 100% until very late in its life cycle (God of War for example...)

Xbox 360 also aint going flat out yet, probably like 80%. And i still think the previus gen consoles didnt go 100%.
So no, its probably using 70-80% max...

Rage= most graphically intensive game to date that will be running on PS3. God of War 3 devs confirmed using 5 spus out of the 6.

U2 might be maxing it to a certain degree, but i doubt all of the ps3's capabilities are being squeezed to their limits (at least to the point that's acceptable to run a game properly without the system breaking down.)

and i say that without any real technical knowledge or factual information about the PS3's capabilities :p

But you make a good point..

Well... Lets think about it for a minute...

You CAN make PS3 go 100% RIGHT NOW... But its truly getting the max out of it? No, it doesn't.

You can do it with your computer in an easy way (if you use Windows): Copy a big file on Windows and, for a little while, the processor will go up to 100%.

Is the copy command maximizing Windows? Nop... Is Windows not completely optimized? Yes.

Do the math.

think of the ps3 like a car. You might have the pedal down to the floor (100%), but you're not going as fast as the car can possibly go... hell you can have your car at 100% and be traveling 5mph if it weighs 50 tons. This is just marketing BS poured out to the media to sell more copies.

As long as talented people are working on a system you'll always be able to get more out of it.

They say that with every game on PS3 and 360. Hell they said that with Gears Of War 2 on 360 lol. They said that with Killzone 2 on PS3. I don't give in to the hype.

LOL! My thoughts exactly.

The game undoubtedly looks phenomenal and is my top most anticipated game of 2009.

Crysis can max pretty much any computer because it's poorly optimized. Same can go for any game coming out for the PS3, including Uncharted 2.

I think most devs that say "We've maxed X platform" just do it for the hype. IMO, its too soon and there are always ways of getting things done more efficiently which results in the ability to include more things in games.

If Uncharted 2 is running at 100% then what the **** is Heavy Rain and Crysis 2 running at?

Those idiots... they think they've maxed it, but they're wrong.

I agree it's just for hype. Even Cevat Yerli (Crytek) said that the consoles were going to be maxed out. I now point to my second line.

I'm sure that as this generation progresses there's going to be much more that can be done than currently. As aforementioned any game can max a platform because they're typically poorly optimized.

Here's a good example. Look at the difference in Final Fantasy X, and Final Fantasy XII. Both games are obviously different, but I mean notice the difference in audio/video output, and the amount of content.

Exactly, who cares what precent the game is running at, it looks great and more importantly it will play great and thats all that matters. There is way too much of an emphasis on simple polygon counts around here.

Its intresting what results that are getting at said "100%" yet still talk of the PS3's power (Its quoted in the video Video, not a fan boy quote). Its going to be intrersting to see what other developers will do to trump or become equal to the quality of ND

I doubt they are pushing the PS3 to its limits but they did fill up a single-layered Blu-ray disc.

Yeah that all uncompressed HD movie. That is a very large amount of data.
