hi there.

I myself own a PS3 and a high end gaming desktop. now My Desktops graphics murder ps3’s. Just cause sony says that there cell processor is super fast, does not mean that it is. it is however fast at doing one thing at a time. but when doing more then one it is junk. i think this processor is nothing like the hype they say. it has been out for 3 years now and it still just runs a ps3, what s that about.

Also my pc gaming rig has 2Gb’s of dedicated video memory. How much does the ps3 have?

Anyway I just know that i am not impressed at all with ps3. i hope they will find a new graphics engine to help it out.

“Everybody knows the power of the CELL chip is far superior to “high end PCs”. We have only seen 20-30% of the latent power of the PS3.”

Wow, another sony fanboy who swallows the BS in large piles. You may have only seen 20-30% of the Cell processors power, but Cell only accounts for 10% of the mythical 2 TFLOP system power Sony advertises. RSX is pretty much maxed out already, and gets help from Cell. According to Sony and IBM, Cell is 212 GFLOPS (Sony did try to lie and say it was 256 GFLOPS, but IBM set it straight) and RSX is exaggerated at 1.8 TFLOPS. According to IBM, 360’s CPU is 132 GFLOPS and MS hasn’t rated their GPU and daughter processor in the same way Sony has in exaggerating their systems power.

Funny thing is, even Sony admits that RSX needs help from Cell to keep up with the graphics PROCESSORS in Xbox 360.

360’s GPU > RSX.

Cell > 360’s CPU.

It’s a wash. forget the hype and BS Sony puts out.

XBOX 360s however are clapped out already.

That interview is in someone else’s news story.

I’m not sure why I’m here. I see your headline, I read your article. It doesn’t support the headline.

Then I’m directed to read the original source that the article came from. Trust me, I wish I’d have seen the other headline first on the google feed. If you want to grab attention, make sure to back it up in your version of the story.

This is a blog about an article you read. Which is fine. I just thought it was a news story… or news report. Even a fresh take on something, editorial, anything.

If you read the interview, you’d have seen this:

Harald Seeley: Well there is no doubt that porting our engine to the PlayStation 3 is the more challenging of our two ongoing conversion projects, but that works to our advantage in the end. We feel certain we have the ability to get the most that is possible out of that platform, and therefore PS3 games which run on our engine in the future will definitely stand significantly apart from other games that don’t.

Where’s the backup for your article headline?

Where is the information about porting the engine being harder on one console than the other?

There aren’t any, but do you honestly think that the other games are going to be as demanding as crysis?

What are some other,released CE2 games?

By: eh?

Some people say that Crysis is more demanding than other CE2 games. They also say, that the high/nearly high means medium-high settings.

I don’t know what is true. I don’t care.

Just for hahas I just tried playing Crysis on Very High, since I upgraded some parts recently, and it ran pretty damn solid. It did, however, crash at the same exact point that it did when I tried playing on High right after I installed the new parts.
