The Power of the "Cell"!

[gavomatic57]

Its just a shame the market only seems to cater for the lowest common denominator isn't it, although the PS3 could potentially outlive the next 2 Xboxes, if only developers put the effort in.

I'd also like to see a Cell motherboard that I could buy, so I could run linux with a lot more RAM!

I more then agree with that, I would love to actually be able to utilize linux without having a massive swap file. Running valgrind has a tendency to eat a swap file alive! Or user expandable RAM for the PS3, it's powerful enough in it's own rights to replace a computer.

Thing is, unfortunately on neutral games (xbox and ps3) like GTA4, Assassins Creed ect. are beeing developed on the technical specs for xbox360, not for the PS3. And the PS3 always get the direct copy

Thats why i prefer PS3 exclusiv titles like Resistance, Motorstorm, MGS, all these games are beeing made on PS3 technical spezifications, impossible to "direct copy" them for the xbox360 !!

I wish the developers would use the PS3 as main mashine for games andnot the xbox360, so games like GTA4 for exapmle would be much better, more space = more content, more details, more clips, bigger story ect.

Its almost the same stupid thing like Blu-ray VS HD DVD, blu-ray always got screwed from neutral studios, cause neutral studios almost always made the transfers on HD DVD lower technical spezifications.
And this is happening to the PS3 (thx to the xbox lower technical specs.) as well.

yes i have read somewhere that game developer will use the PS3 as leading platform for games somewhere in 2008 , i forgot the link where i read this.

But not YET as you can see for example GTA, Assassins Creed, Dark Sector ect. all games wich are specialized for 360 technical specs.

Xbox biggest disadvantage? clearly the space for games (DVD vs Blu-ray)

i personally believe also the game graphics and resolutions on the PS3 will be much better than on xbox360 in future, we just have to be patient a little bit more until the full power of the cell shows its possibilities

A lot of developers are developing on the PS3, at this time. Plus, that still doesn't change the fact that the multiplatform games will be limited to the lowest common denominator.

The ONLY way that could change is if developers are will to put more time in on the PS3 after they have ported the maximum the Xbox 360 could handle. That goes against the very nature of 3rd party developers. Plus, it would increase the amount of money spent on development. It's not good business from their perspective.
