its not fair to say game like ratchet and clank, MGS, gran turismo, are ps3's knights in shining armor because they look the best because they have nothing to do with the ps3's architecture. those game and just about every other game are built around old-age game engines that wreent built with ps3's hardware in mind! those games are using the ps3's procesing capabilities and thats it the graphics chip can handle far far better engines.

uncharted is a game that was built specifically for ps3's hardware, therefore, it and any sequels have a specififc organic, realistic look to them

heavenly sword was one

heavy rain is one of them.

mag is one of them.

eight days would have been one.

afrika is one of them.

........

call of duty is NOT one of them

oblivion is NOT one of them

rainbow six is NOT one of them

these are all basically just ports from last gen to this gen. the engines are optimized to utilize stronger hardware. but do not have anything to do with what the hardware was meant to dish out. its not fair to say that a game whos enging wasnt built for the hardware is the consoles best looking game.

ps3's best looking game is uncharted because it's the only one released. forget opinion.

xbox 360's best looking game would probably be Gears of war. because it's engine was made to work with its hardware specifically

theres not even game that uses ps2's resources to about 100% ( that had a graphics enging built specifically for it)

MGS4 pushes the metal gear solid game enging to its limits considering ps3's hardware specs. so yea its very possible that MGS4 is using 100% of ps3's resources. but its not fair to use that against it or even for it. all that is saying is that MGS4 looks as good as it can look with the ps3's hardware.

no game developers will ever be able get 100% out of any console, PC, whatever. but they will get to a 75-85% that matters with an engine built specifically for the hardware. thats when our jaws will drop.

if you're going to state that MGS4 pushes ps3 to the limit you should at least acknowledge the fact that with a game like MGS4 pushing the sysytem to its limits that means that MGS$ is about as good as the MGS engine can look on ps3... its the same enging that was used for the ps2 games only now its got ps3 hradware pushing the engine further.

its the same reason why halo3 looks very similar to halo2. it's the same engine only now its got stronger hardware behind it.

why does grand theft auto look so much diffrent than any other previous grand theft auto? because its a completly differnt engine built specifically for next gen hardware.

uncharted used 40% of the PS3's "power" and had an engine built to work with the ps3's architecture specifically.

MGS4 is probably has cell working at 60-65%. no game even has ps2 working at 100% God of War 2 probably has it at 85%-90% kojima said hes got ps3 working a good sweat to promote his game

you know what makes a big differnece is that MGS4's engine is not built ground up for the ps3's architecture it is the next gen version of what the past MGS's used. it's like looking at gran turismo 4 (ps2)next to gran turismo 5(ps2). same basic engine... different machine. has nothing to do with the ps3's graphics chip and cell.

every graphics chip has a personality.. you could say.. for example the xbox 360's graphics chip calls for a more generic videogame look. whereas ps3's graphic chip can create a more organic realistic look. when a game engine is built around the system with this is mind is where you will see this in motion. you can use heavy rain as an example of what im trying to explain.

this reminds me, i forgot to go burn my copy of halo 3....

my older brother was playing ace combat with his new playstation 1 way back when... and i was like woa, gotta have one of those!

and after that sony just keeps making ace hardware. i just wish they had better timing.

i have one game and whole lot blu ray dvds for the ps3, blu ray is the only reason i have it. ps3 has no games, and the online community sucks really really bad,lolLT-Z400

wait until after E3 this year to say weird things like that.
