Sucker Punch: Half a PS3 is better than a whole 360


Recommended Posts

inFAMOUS 2 developer Sucker Punch has done what every PS3 exclusive developer does, and has claimed that its game cannot be done on the Xbox 360. In fact, this isn't the first time Sucker Punch has said that. However, the studio has gone one step further this time, and stated that the 360 can't even match 50% of what the PS3 is capable of.

"For Infamous 1 we were only using 20/25% of the power, now we're hovering over 50/60% of the power," says designer Darren Bridges. "When we say it probably couldn't be done on the other console, we're talking strictly horsepower. Maybe it can be, but we just don't feel like the other console has the horsepower to carry this off."

Bridges was asked if 50% of the PS3's power was eclipsing the Xbox 360, and his answer was bathed in fanboy napalm: "Well, yeah. Yeah. I mean we're still a way away from launching so we're probably going to throw more stuff on that Cell processor. So yeah... Do you think [Xbox 360] could pull off Uncharted 2? Everyone's comparing us to Uncharted 2, so if you think you can make Uncharted 2 on Xbox then OK maybe you can make Infamous 2 on Xbox."

I'd like to see xbox pull something off like UC2... but they have not yet. Sure are fighting words, but there is tout to definitely back it up.

Um they have, a few times, with more coming. But we are talking Infamous 2 here, not UC2.

Um, the entire claim is based on whether or not Uncharted 2 could be done on the 360 and honestly it probably could. If FFXIII could be done on the 360 with minimal quality loss (when it was poorly ported and optimized) then I doubt the 360 would have a hard time with Uncharted 2.

raw power wise i wouldn't doubt (cpu wise i'm saying) but that's about it. I think they both have their pros/cons and overall match up pretty well

A whole 360 can power on, half a PS3 is just a bunch of bits that have no value unless they are on eBay. And they should just quit while they are at it, stop with the Sony Fanboyism. Don't see the PS3 with decent controller less-gaming and games. (But we will get that in a few years with the PS Body Control, like the Move = Wii Copy... Just with the nonsense that sony's is better)

Wonder if anyone will even read the actual source instead of lambasting fanboy charm over everything.

As seen in their interview.

He added: "It's pure speculation, [sucker Punch has] no idea of whether we can do it because we don't work on Xbox or any other console.

Though enjoy your little troll of a topic AWBrian, its great to know how easy it is on here to get people riled up over some exclusive devs comments, its obvious why you posted it.

Funny that seeing as the cpu's are "related" and the GPU in the 360 is far more superior.

Blu ray? Who the f cares about that. MS certainly doesn't or they'd have backed it. Instead they watched Sony throw money away and laughed their ass off.

So essentially, they just felt like baiting the fanboys again. :p

I wouldn't see why it couldn't. Mass Effect 2 spanks UC2, as does Alan Wake (except for the damn animations Remedy screwed up).

Yup, and then the pawns fall into place and we get a topic full of pointless arguments of the same thing we get in every other topic because some sad OP no doubt gets some jollies from it.

If you read the whole article this basically equates to:

"We think that the Xbox might not be able to run this. Or something. Actually we really have no idea."

I wish I could make baseless speculative statements without even an attempt at researching it and get it published.

lol ps3 gets one crappy jungle adventure game and the fanboys treat it like the holy grail and use it for every argument. Is that what happens when your console has one good game?

Pretty much.

Then they lose touch what the game was really like & start imagining how perfect it was.

There are plenty of great games, but Uncharted 2 is something that you must play through to really know how great it is. But coming from your statement, you probably haven't played it, since you referred to it as a jungle adventure.... that would be like saying gears of war is a barricade shooter... each system has great games, but the specs of them are different and can determine a lot. If the ps3 had the graphics card of the 360, it would be a beast.

It was... and I love the game. Let's not pretend things aren't what they are here.

@Shakey

But the fact of the matter is it doesn't, so the playing field is leveled out between 360's advantage of GPU and PS3's advantage of CPU.

Summary: this topic is a load of BS and SuckerPunch need a slap.

lol, touche then. i'm just trying not to stoop down to the immature level that some of the post are getting to. staying respectful to all viewpoints goes a long way. You can debate and not be childish, though some clearly can not. GOW has a great story and great elements to it, just like UC2. But I , in my opinion, have not seen a game as detailed with great story, voice acting, and mechanics, as UC2 on the xbox.
