Ya. . . obviously.

Xbox 360s UT3 will have better graphics than Gears of War. The game is a year older. . .

Here is another shocker: Call of Duty 4 has better graphics than Call of Duty 3.

II SAL II

lol... seems people will post anything that puts down the PS3 or Xbox360 no matter how stupid it is

and Keebs is 100% correct. We all expected Unreal Tourney III to have better graphics than Gears of War. and one other note. It doesnt belong to the PS3 all platforms PC/Xbox360/PS3 get this game, just at different times

What a dumb article. Stupid thesis, stupid points, stupid way to analyze an interview.

Steve44

Wow what a stupid article...it doesn't say anything that I like in it.
Must be stupid and worthless.

I see, so an extra year only makes a difference when you are talking about graphics technology using comparably aged console technology, but not when talking about sales numbers.

Ok, seriously.....why? Same company. If on 360, its the same system. It hasn't upgraded. The unified shader is the same as it was when GOW came out, so why do we automatically assume it will be better? This isn't a new graphics card in a PC we're talking about, its the same system. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to say that we expected them to be comparable? GoW did push the envelope, so to speak. As an example, God of War II on PS2 didn't have appreciably better graphics than GOWI and it was two years older.

I might think that this was a potshot at 360 if it weren't the same guy that developed Gears of War making the statement.

Don't play dumb

Its stupid because the interviewee talks about how the graphics of their games are improving, but the writer turns this into some kind of "news" that the PS3 game has better graphics than the 360 game. It has nothing to do with platform. It has to do with their evolving graphics technologies.

I would think that UT3 would be superior simply because they've had time to work on thier engine plus they've learned a ton about both consoles through other ventures.

Did I miss the obvious - he didn`t say the PS3 version of UT3 would look better than the 360 version, he said it would look better than an older game from the XBox 360 did didn`t he?

Seriously though, both versions will almost certainly (love that "hedge your bets" phrase!) look the same on PS3 and 360 (yes despite rumours Epic still say both consoles will have a version) and yes UT3 better look better than Gears of War did - GOW came out a year ago and if the PS3 AND 360 couldn`t do better graphics than a year ago I`d be suprised - of course we know both can as COD4 shows

I hope the PS3 version includes keyboard and mouse support. It would be nice to draw upon those hold team fortress skills from highschool.

First of all it is not a shot at the 360, despite whatever the OPs intentions were. You are vastly mistaken in your argument and here's why.

First off your God of War analogy is completely incorrect. The original God of War came out in 2005, four years after the PS2 launched. This means that the console was fairly well tapped out when the game was made, and also why God of War 2 looked very much the same, although their were some very slight graphical overhauls.

In contrast, Gears of War came out in 2006, 1 year after the 360 launched. Epic was playing with a new system and got some amazing results out of it. At the time even their new Unreal Engine was brand new. Now, one year later, they are designing the game again and they have more experience with their engine and with consoles in general. They are able to get more juice out of the PS3 because of this.

Systems NEVER show off their full graphical capabilities until about 3-4 years into their cycle. The Xbox 360 isn't at its full, the PS3 isn't at its full. The argument is stupid because of this. Each year that passes, companies, the very same ones who made past games like Epic, are going to be able to make games that look better and better until the system taps out.

It is all in understanding the system and how it works. Like I said, this is NOT a shocker just like the fact that CoD 3 looks like crap compared to CoD 4, both of which were released on the 360 (for comparison).
