EA says "Xbox 360 is maxed out"....PS3 not.

EA (Sports) was already screwing Sony by making games for 360's format and trying to convert it over to PS3. I think that's bullshit but hey I'm just a fanboy.... Anyway look for games like Uncharted 2, GoW 3, and many others to show you exactly what Sony had in store for the beginning. I agree that when you have the complications of learning new hardware, you may take the easy way out but the exclusives show the Power of the 3.

Not surprised by this at all. Was only a matter of time.

The 360 was released in November of 2005. 4 year lifespan is pretty typical for a gaming console.

They may have done better than Sony up to this point but the Wii shat all over both of both MS and Sony.

But Sony will have a lot longer of a lifespan to make up for it just because we really haven't seen the full potential the system. Which is scary considering just how good games like MGS4 and GT5 look already.

Forza>GT

*as long as its not made by Sony

LMFAO at "maxing out" a system when your same basic games/gameplay/"engine"/etc has been used since the PS1.

Seriously, other than graphics, what have the 'tards at EA done that maxes out what the 360 has to offer?

These MF'rs can't get shit right.

I have zero doubt that some companies/games have "maxed out" the 360, it isn't as powerful as the PS3...this has been known since they both came out...we all know this.

What I'm saying is a shitty company like EA, specifically their EA Sports sector hasn't come close, and if anyone tells me otherwise, I'll laugh at them. Considering their games for the 360 have less features than their PS2 counterpart and they haven't really advanced outside of graphically that much to justify the PS2 to 360 jump. The 360 is inferior to the 3 by power, and while some games have been "maxed out" by whatever lazy standards they give themselves....I LOL at the idea that EA Sports titles have been maxed out. These tards have been putting fresh coats of paint on piles of shit for years...YEARS.

If you are telling me the only difference in power between the 360 and the 2 for EA Sports game are improved graphics, media that runs off a hard drive, and some tweaks to game play (that could be done with the 2 just with lesser graphics) and enhanced online features (which for some games will now be hosted on a server)...I drink your milkshake...I drink it up.

The PS3 was released only a year after iirc and I don't think we've seen anything yet.

The power a system holds goes far beyond graphics as well. It goes into computing power which allows more things to happen at once in-game while still being able to deliver a high frames per second count. Not to mention, more power allows for more intelligent A.I., etc.

Details. Details. Details.

No offense, but I love how averyone assumes they are referring to flagship games like Madden. You do know EA produces games like Dead Space and Mirrors Edge too, right?

And I have been reading quite a few articles recently talking about the SPU's in the PS3. Apparently most, if not all, developers have just begun to scratch the surface on how to 'farm' all of the computations out to the many SPU's on the PS3. Towards the end of the life cycle games are going to look ridiculous. Even a lead guy from Valve, a company whom I thought previously said that they hated the architecture of the PS3, said that the capabilities of the PS3's SPU's is enormous.

With that said I know many gaming 'experts' have said that games probably aren't going to be able to look much better than they do this generation. As far as graphics go we've reached the peak. The next generatiohn of consoles will probably show a negligible difference in graphics but it will be more about advancements in AI and such.

If you read my other post...you wouldn't have a need to post it.

While I am sure SOME games are "maxed out"...not all are.

Notice how Twigg said EA produces games but doesn't actual make them. They just shove the old EA label on there and call it a day.

The PS2 is selling because the PS3 isn't and Sony has to have something to lean on (gaming wise). They even spun it at the conference "Every PS2 consumer is a future PS3 consumer"........is that a fact? Sony coming out with a PSP priced at $250 still makes me wnoder if they even believe they are in trouble. I'm sure both (MS & SONY) have teams working on the beginnings of a new system but they won't see the light of day until the $ woes are gone.

EA publishes and develops by the way.

Regardless, EA isn't the only game company saying this. On page 2, infiniti ward is also saying the same.

Graphically, the XBox is pushed to its limits by a few games. Most games don't even come close, but some of the best games out there are definitely pushing the system hard.

That being said, they are actually able to do such things because the XBox360 is much easier to program for. It has always been said that the PS3/PS2 is a bitch to program in comparison to the XBox360/Xbox. I don't know if we'll ever see the PS3 pushed to its full limits simply because programming such a game would not be worth the extreme cost.

If the PS3 is pumping out some sick looking games on par with the 360 even with developers supposedly struggling with "difficult code", how much chance does the 360 really have?

 

[Maynard]

its no secret that what EA and IW and whatever other devs that are saying this are correct. The 360 is what is.....you can only get so much out of it before its time to make a new system, which oh btw is in the works....that announcement will probably come at next years E3.....and yes, thats an opinion

good games FTW

The last two generations of consoles have proven that graphics don't nearly mean as much as solid gameplay and online capabilities.

That may be true with most but they definitely created Dead Space.

Me personally, I'm just sitting back enjoying what's to come. I couldn't care less about a console war or how the PS3 is doing in sales... I care about how happy I am with my system.
