Cell and GPU work better together than either alone

I'll believe it when I see it tbh, Sony have spouted quite a lot of crap in recent years with their consoles.

I'm sure what they are saying is true. The Cell can take some of the load off the graphics card. The question is whether or not that can actually be used to create significantly better graphics. I doubt it will be able to do graphics significantly better than what the 360 can do, even if Sony claim it can.

Personal opinion based on owning both consoles. It's mostly the finer details such as animations and AA that seem to suffer (based on Warhawk, resistance, motorstorm, stardust and FNR3 on the PS3).

And as per usual in these situations it is customary to say "Have your pathetic little rolleyes back :rolleyes:"
 
I thought Warhawk and Resistance had really smooth and crisp graphics with hardly any aliased surfaces (jagged edges). Motorstorm was pretty bad though.

Warhawk is a real beast in my opinion - the massive environments with beautiful sharp graphics.

It's the lack of finishing touches and very poor animation with resistance that stop immersion in the game. The water in the river near the start of the game, the poor ragdolls and death animations, the random physics etc. all made me go =/. Warhawk is very nice but nothing about the graphics made me go wow. The gameplay on the other hand... :D
 
Would it not be harder to code to make them work together, making the games take longer to develop and many developers just taking the easy quick option?

It's just very solid without trying to win any beauty contests. I agree with Resistance's animations though.

Warhawk or Resistance? Warhawk is definitely a very solid game in all areas and mighty good fun but Resistance is lacking any flare, style or substance.

/me plays stardust again.
 
Judging by Konami's statement that MGS4 is doable on the 360, I don't think this trickery is being taken seriously any time soon. It will be years, just like every other console, before we see the muscle.

Probably, I'm sure the new GT will let us see what the PS3 can do!

Yeah, Sony can afford to pump the money into in-house devs to get the best graphics and gameplay out of the PS3 but like so other smaller developers wont and will more than likly go for a average looking title, same thing can be said about the 360.
 
I have both consoles too - I certainly wouldnt say either one is even a head over the other one, I personally prefer whats on show in Motorstorm to whats in PGR3 for example - others may prefer the other way round, its really personal choice

Just with the MS console devs will get more and more out of the PS3 as time goes on (and the kits that Sony provide get more powerful)

No one can possibly know which will produce "the best" games when they both get retired, hoefully they both have a good long life so both companies stay in the market for the next generation - competition is always best for the customer after all

I've been in a tussle with you before Kreee and I know you don't like it when people question you - anyhow I think you should refrain from enflamatory statements like "pathetic" as this only results in equally derogatory replies which dont help anyone. Also, are you an English teacher ? - I ask because you felt then need to highlight a spelling mistake - just asking.

It's also quite funny that you agreed with an earlier post about the OP being bait yet you go on to simply say that PS3 games look worse than 360 games and expect no-one to question you.

Have you seen Heavenly Sword ? - it is simply beautiful in every way.

PGR3 looks pretty poor because of its rushed development. I wasn't comparing like-for-like games but a general overview of the games I've played.

I've not seen heavenly sword, I've only seen the games I've mentioned. As I said it's customary to use that response when someone uses the rolleyes smilie :p

No problem :D

You should take a look at Heavenly Sword - it's fantastic. I've even stopped playing Warhawk for the time being :eek:

Sorry for the diversion folks ;)
