    Anders just created a new forum post in the topic Weaker Overall Graphics Quality in PS3 Multi-Format Games? in the General Discussion forum
    Killzone 2 certainly looks impressive, but there is nothing there that I would classify as impossible to achieve on the 360, however, we're off track =)

    I'll just stand by my initial comment and say that I believe the GPU of the 360 is the reason, the same has been put forward time and again publicly by developers, and every time the PS3 fanboys have gone out screaming like mad that it is not the case, hilarious every time =)

    And of course the architecture of the 360 is more similar to a PC than the PS3 is, ...

    Blu-Ray (or at least the space offered by it) is definitely the strong point of the PS3, not the least the movie playback capabilities it brings. BUT, it should also be said that the drive in the PS3 has relatively poor seek speeds which hurt streaming resources from disk, and I believe it also doesn't read as fast as the DVD drive in the 360, this again can be an issue for some games. Thankfully they did include the HDD as a standard in all their consoles which is very nice and helps with these issues a lot. Installing a ...

    At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter much that one console has a leg up in one area over the other, both consoles are powerful enough that you can make some real spectacular looking visuals, mostly it comes down to artistic talent, and "using what you've got" in terms of hardware resources (shader ops, raster ops, cpu ops, memory, etc, etc)  in the best possible way.

    That said, that isn't really what this thread is about =), and I believe the GPU performance issue being the biggest benefit for the 360 in multiplatform titles. Some developers ...

    The real issue is that the PS3 has a weaker GPU than the X360 does. The GPU, and available memory, is more often more important than raw CPU power (which the PS3 has a lot off, if you work the cell correctly). The 360 effectively has more memory available since Microsoft doesn't require as much for the "OS" of their machine as Sony does, and also, the 360 has a shared pool which potentially makes memory management simpler.

    (I have several friends who work at large game developers and they are constantly bitching about issues with the performance of ...

    Anders just commented on the news article: Indie iPhone Devs Feel the Copyright Wrath
    Making a game that plays exactly like an older game should be A OK. Ripping graphics, or naming it in a way that potentially makes people think it is the original shouldn't be.

    I mean come on, pretty much every shooter has the same mechanics, with a few minor changes at best. Same goes for most genres of games. Its the content in the game that is relevant and not the mechanics.

    Seems I was missing data on some notables, motorstorm and resistance, as well as heavenly sword, they're in there now:

    Motorstorm @ 23%
    Resistance @ 20.5%
    Heavenly Sword @ 7.7%
