Denis Dyack Talks Console Wars

[sceptic]

Isnt it a little late for last minute propaganda, its almost launch time for ps3 and the whole world can see for themselves and judge which machine looks more powerful. And as has said already it fairly obvious 1st gen ps3 titles are overall better than 2nd gen xbox titles, yes gears looks good but looking at announced ps3 games they do look better and a surprising amount in 1080p at launch.

Its quite obviously an attempt to swing public opinion back to thinking both consoles are on equal footing, bit late now that many people/journalists have had hands on with the games to suggest otherwise.

I wan't too serious about you "stealing" my joke but reading the same points over and over again in one thread does get very tedious.

You're totally right, of course.

I suspect that by now, these things are done not so much for the consumers, but for the people in the boardrooms. Plus, these guys know that when news is a bit slow, like now, (the calm before the storm on Nov 17th) the rags will print just about anything...

gears of war cant run on ps3. same goes for lost planet.

[masteratt]

^Obviously, they are 360 games

did you guys know DMC3 can't run on X360?

[yoshaw]

So should this become a habit on PS3 forums now?

You know posting developer quotes and then ridiculing them to oblivion just because they are not favoring PS3. Why the heck even post these kinds of quotes and articles only to make oneself feel better. This is not like the forum it used to be. First Epic dissing and now Dennis Dyak. Both threads were nothing but 360 related. Just because each had a mention of PS3 shouldn't mean we post a thread for it.

I hope some would agree, We should close this thread. It serves no purpose in the PS3 section, please understand the bait material and hatred such threads could generate will only dilute the best forum there is.

Peace.

Unreal Tournament 2007 looks as good or better than GeOW, and I don't see anything in it that can't be done on PS3. DMC4 looks as good or better than Lost Planet while both seem to be using the same engine too.

However, Lair can't be run on 360 Same goes to any PS3 game that runs at 1080p60 native.

Unreal Tournament doesnt look better than Gears of War. Lost Planet looks better than what has been shown for DMC4, and DMC4 released nearly a year later (suggested anyways).

And the PS3 cant do Gears of War.


And we go around and around.

[chrismt]

And how is it you know Gears can't run on PS3? Not that it matters anyway, since it probably won't be ported to it.

Developers said so.

[chrismt]

Are you speaking of the developers who said the PS3 only has 256MB of memory?

I think it's been established that they were spreading FUD to hype up the 360 game launch.

[FantasyGhost]

Let's just leave it at:

There will always be games that are exclusive to one over the other. Otherwise what's the point of offering those different consoles anyway. We could put a Warner brothers disc drive, with the XBOX 360's GPU, PS3's CPU, Wiimote & nunchuk... and build an ultimat system that plays it all.

[EvilTaru]

I already made that joke

Read other posts people! This is like the 10th time I had to say that in a week.
If this community has one problem, it seems to be that people don't read other posts >_<

I feel your anger, gah!!!

Seriously, Dyack needs to shoteh fok up and concentrate on his broken-ass piece of crap demo that is Too Human.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

oh god, close this thread.
and too human looked like shit at E3 anyway.

yeah well xbox 360 cant do fantavision.


...:splitspin



its idiotic to say"this game cant run on that system", with modifications you can make any game run on two similar systems - but then that raises the question "is it the same game?" where do you draw the line between making absolutely no midifications to the game, just porting it straight over, and changing the game completely but keeping the title?


also, DMC4 obviously isnt going to look as good, because, as you said, its being launched a year later. its much earlier in the development process.

and besides, considering its an exclusive, its perfectly valid to say they cant do GOW on ps3 - because they cant. its a breach of contract. and im perfectly within my right to say they cant do fantavision on 360

[msantti]

I wonder if Dyack was wearing his money hat when he said that?

Im with this guy... both on the close part, and the shit part.

Money hat, that has always made me smile... lol money hat

[BahnNZ]

LaLiLuLeLo2003 has the important point here... Too Human is.... awful. They spent the last 5 years remaking Contra, it's... diabolical.

Too Human can't run on my 360, because I just buy the good ones.
