and how do the PS3 developers get the FPS up to 60?

I am sure that most of us ps3 lovers or owners realize that things will look better once they start making 60fps games, but the bottom line is even at 30fps the games can look fabulous- in fact they make look so good that the average user wouldn’t be able to see the difference.

I’m more concerned with the gameplay of madden and I would rather them enhance the gameplay then worry about an extra 30fps.

I would expect like games like Gran turismo 5 to be pretty drool worthy, from what i’ve seen, it’s gonna be stellar. Honestly, MGS4 doesn’t impress me too much yet (i’ve seen some really horrid textures in game, gears spoiled me i guess)..

but for the most part, i don’t think there will be enough to make me want a PS3 in the near future…

my 360 will suit me just fine (90+ games coming out in the next 6 months or so, should keep me pretty busy)..

1. There are more 360’s than PS3’s in the wild ATM. Any development team would either give equal resources to both platforms, or more to the 360 (it’s just logical that you would put more resources where the results could have a higher impact on sales).

2. It is harder to develop for the PS3 than the 360. Assuming equal resources were given to both, the PS3 would always come out with an inferior product. This fact just isn’t arguable either, and not a single developer for both denies this.

Until there are more PS3’s than XBox360’s, I doubt any games will look better on PS3. The best looking games for PS3 will be PS3 only, and for reasons that stem from the above. The development reasons are also why the best looking games (that would still be first generation IMHO) that utilize the PS3 hardware at least to a better degree than multi-platform games won’t come out for another year.

i dunno man… the first few 360 games didnt look too stunning either…”

Err…. PGR3?!

How many Ace combat fans will wait for the PS3 version or just save $200 on a system and play it this fall. Metal Gear doesn’t hit the PS3 until 2008.

This news doesn’t help. I believe this is going to go for the Basketball games also running at 60 fps.

So you lost your exclusive flight game along with all the sports gamers going to 360 this Christmas. It’s going to be a long cold winter for the Ps3.

whatever i guess. True, the cell is a pretty powerful CPU on paper, but not in practice as of yet….. Maybe that’ll change. The 360’s CPU is no slouch.

Everything i’ve seen has put the 360’s GPU above the RSX, considering how it is a true next gen GPU with some pretty nifty features not even found in high end next gen PC cards (i.e. 10mb edram), it’s certainly not last gen like RSX… and it can do things the RSX can’t, less shader restrictions, no penalty MSAA, memexport, more polygons on screen..

If anything both have strengths and weaknesses, and after it’s all said and done, both are pretty even. 360 is by no means tapped out yet, and they are just scratching the surface of the PS3, i think the more things change, the more they’ll stay the same, with PS3 possibly outshining 360 only much later in its life cycle, if it can manage to make it their gracefully and devs put the time in…

That being said, devs on sports games rarely try anything outside the box. Not surprising.

The console share of the market gets bigger and bigger all the time, while the PC side shrinks.

SPIN AWAY….

“We want to make sure that we give the best experience we can on each platform. In designing a game, there are all sorts of tradeoffs that include frame rate, visuals, features, AI, etc. Football is an extremely challenging sport to replicate because of the number of people on the field, their interaction, and the scope of the environments. As you can see, every company making a football game this year made a decision that the best experience for the Xbox 360 included 60fps whereas the best experience for the PS3 was 30fps. We certainly believe that both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are our football products are outstanding experiences and recommend that each gamer look at the entire experience, not just one aspect. We think they’ll be very happy no matter which version of the game they play.”

that was made by the vice president of EA sports marketing. maybe people should get their facts straight before they post such raw bullshit. and in response to everyones blu ray argument. look at the numbers, i don’t think sony shoving the ps3 as a blu ray player down peoples throats was such a bad idea, because as of last month, blu rau is leading in sales at a 5 to 1 ratio.

All complaints about one console versus another fall on deaf ears here.

It’s a PC. Only the most locked-in and unupgradeable PC you can possibly buy. If you don’t like having limited options then don’t support the damn things. Consoles are a throwback to a time when people didn’t own computers. They are a marketing ploy to produce ever larger profits.

So, go back to your XBoxes and PS3s and deal with your choice.

If anyone is going to tell me that 30 frames doesn’t matter compared to 60, you are KIDDING yourself.

When a game runs at 30 fps, i can tell, simple as that. 60 is fluid, 30 is jerky but coherent.

When forza opted for 60, i understood, and i think it was a good decision, esp. for racing and feeling of speed (granted, racing games are more demanding when it comes to the required fps for a good experience).

ON that note, animations, running, etc. will LOOK BETTER at 60 frames… Read the title.

did you even read Nyteshades post?
