OMFG Alan Wake is going to destroy Heavy Rain. It's not even going to be close. Were do I begin. First off this guy in Heavy Rain walks like he has a pole jammed right up his ass. Second lets be honest the graphics in Heavy Rain do not look all that great. They are good but Alan Wake cleary looks much better. I mean come on guys Heavy Rain looks to be 7.5 at best. This game looks like total lameness. http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/heavy-rain-first-9-minutes/338509 I LMFAO when I saw him shake the controller to shake the OJ. That is SO WEAK. Whats he going to do next go shake his controller why he is in the shower. LMAO
Again lemmings using games that are not even out yet. Didn't they learn with Forza? :roll:
Forza looks better than GT5:p, although, GT5 might take its crown back, both are playing with customers.
Yeah a year+ later after further GT5 delays. Go figure. Imagine what Turn 10 would do if they took 6 years to make a Forza game. Heck they already beat PD in 2 years.
[QUOTE="beekayjay"]The Cell's SPU's can be made to take over certain operations typically handled by the GPU. In fact, when first conceived, the Cell was intended to operate as a hybrid CPU/GPU all in one chip. In any case, throwing certain functions over to the Cell frees the GPU up to push out a lot more polys than the RSX would normally be able to if it were tasked to do everything a GPU is normally asked to do. The fact that you don't see massively open environments on the PS3 has less to do with its capabilities and more to do with game design choices: no first party dev team has been ambitious enough to try. And on a side note, it takes more than just throwing a load of polys at the screen to make memorable and outstanding visuals: texturing, shading, lighting, animation, atmospherics and effects....all of it matters. You just answered a lot of what I'm saying. Mostly the developers have focused on smaller sized all out graphics for PS3 games. And 360 developers have so far been doing bigger level style games. Again Alan Wake is going to show some new ideas. Oh and also MS has been sending out new dev kits and training on how to open up the few nifty DX 11 tricks that the 360 GPU can do. Trust me Alan Wake is going to start a trend of developers going for more all out graphics on the 360.
And I'll explain why. First off everyone always wants to say eye candy well there is more to this then most understand. There is something called POLYGONS. And boys and girls it's already a well know FACT that the 360 GPU can push far more then the RSX in the PS3 and god for bid don't even mention Gamecube motion control 2 aka Wii. Anyway. This is why Xbox 360 has several games that have large scale open worlds with vary good graphics. I want to bring up Halo 3 the game really has decent graphics but what it really has is big open maps that is to the 360 GPU strenths. Now mention one first party PS3 game that has as large of maps as a game like Halo 3 with good graphics the only one that tried was that god awful game yes you know the mega hyped pile of POOP HAZE? And Halo 3 graphics **** all over that game. Lets move on to another game like Halo Reach. Well this game is going to have FAR better graphics then Halo 3 and yes once again it will have HUGE open battles and insiane amount of AI on screen with great graphics. So you see boys and girls the Xbox 360 GPU has strenths that the PS3 RSX does not. Games like Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 both are small coridor style games so with much smaller levels. A game like Alan Wake is going to wake alot of people up in regards to graphics king in a few months. Oh and also Mass Effect 2 can be considered among the top for artistic style graphics king also.
