Why Uncharted 2 couldn't work on Xbox 360
Oct 28th 2009 12:51AM (Joystiq)Personally, I'd rather believe one of the senior programmers of Uncharted 2 rather than the Xbox fanboy who is trying to suggest it would run better on Xbox360 even though the Xbox360 is in fact less powerful overall - this is also fact, I encourage you to look it up. ;)
Why Uncharted 2 couldn't work on Xbox 360
Oct 28th 2009 12:44AM (Joystiq)If you knew anything about Naughty Dog you'd know that Christophe Balestra is not just co-president and an exec, he's also a senior programmer; so I think you'll find he knows a tad more about the how the PS3 hardware runs than you.
I read in an interview, with Amy Hennig I believe, that when talking about using the PS3's power at 30% in Uncharted and 100% in Uncharted 2, they are talking about idle time - the Cell Processor was utilized fully 30% of the time in Uncharted 1 and they apparently got it near dead on 100% with Uncharted 2... but even saying that, they are talking about using 100% of the PS3's power within the limitations of their game code - they can always make it more efficient which is where you get improved graphics as more processing power is freed up, they can be used elsewhere to perform other tasks.
So many people like to instantly judge anyone who makes a comment like this as a hype merchant, but seriously, the proof is in the pudding. Play the game, you'll see that there's been nothing like it thus far in the console world.
