Sony Explains (Poorly) Why Only PS3 Can Do God of War III

I remember it too, in fact I was going to point it out. Indeed in Halo 3 you get the same light level changes when you go in and out of places and it was just a minor visual detail. It is not something you need a specific kind of processing power to do, especially not if the console that evidentally does not have that feature did the effect before you.GodsAndFishes said:
I respect Sony's right to their franchise but really gloating with points like that only undermine their position. However I'm sure they'll come up with a better reason, after all I have no problem admitting that the PS3 is a powerful system.
Hey David Macphail, Watch and pout in your total ignorance as my copy of Crysis shits all over Uncharted 2. Uncharted 2 has good graphics, no denying it, but it's nothing compared to Crysis. And no, I don't have some multi-thousand dollar computer, my machine was less than 500 a year ago, and it can play Crysis max settings, at 1080P, something that any current console has a snowballs chance in hell at doing.
Suck it ignorant fan boy, and before you right some pathetic excuse for shit as a response actually go look up some facts.

Yeah, I think Sony is just blowing steam. What they need to do is get a bunch of big titles from Xbox and Playstation and do sort of "hostage swap." That isn't the most accurate way to put it, but they should swap titles.
Sony: "I'll give you God of War III if you give us Mass Effect II."
Microsoft: "I don't know, maybe you should give us an extra million dollars... oh, who am I kidding!? I want to kill Minotaurs, too! Let's do it!"

Is this really even an issue with a game that appears to be reverse-engineered from God of War,Dante's Inferno, clearly being on the Xbox 360?
Unless God of War learned some new tricks beyond brutality(which videogames and Adult Swim cartoons have in spades these days), it isn't a compelling reason to plunk down $300 for a PS3 for by itself. I already played the same game twice on PS2 as it is.
Maybe if it were a pack-in, that would be different story...possibly a better one than God of War 2 had!

It's like Christianity, trying to claim that they made Christmas, or Russia saying they invented Communism.Jaredin said:
i really don't care what the hell sony says about GOW3. i just don't, and hope it doesn't be on the xbox 360,it dosn't need to be.
What a ridiculous thing to say. Valve accomplished HDR on the PC and 360 in 2006 with HL2 Episode 1, and there's the obvious aforementioned Ico example (although I'm giving that less credit because it was on a Sony system).
It's also far too specific. I don't know jack about the series, being a PC man, but say it was engineered requiring the Sixaxis. That would be a logical reason for it to be PS3 only as it would have a broad effect on gameplay as a whole. Saying that a specific visual effect would not function at a particular level of quality on other systems because of the way it was designed for just this game is like saying a game would only run on the PC because you have to use a mouse to aim. (Long sentence) It may be true, but it would be far from difficult to reengineer the technology so that it would work with a thumbstick in my example or with the graphics engines of other platforms like in the real-life instance.
It's a weak excuse for an obvious money grab, and will get them nowhere. Remember how the PC port of Halo 2 was apparently "too advanced to run on XP" when the tech used was three years old at the time of release. The real reason, of course? Bungie belongs to Microsoft, who wanted a marketing aid for Vista. That went well.

Valve did it on the 360 with the Orange Box, and EA did it with Mirror's Edge. It looked good when they did it, mostly because they're both first person shooters. Am I really expected to froth at the mouth with envy when the PS3 pulls it off without effort? What I really want to ask however, is if it is really necessary on a third person hack and slash.
But that's the point of this article, Sony were harping on about how God of War III can only be on PS3, when there are other platforms (PC being one of them) that could easily do it.arc1991 said:
It's a valid point to mention that PC's can do it, hence sony is lying on their marketing. (Which is a bit like calling a spade a spade really...)
I dunno, but I wish they had a bit of honesty in them.RatRace123 said:

At any rate, there really isn't anything I can say about this announcement that hasn't been said already. HDR is nothing new and Sony is really grasping at straws here.

...yah, this was a superb example on sony's part!
hahaha.. oh wow, what rubbish.
To say it can't be accomplished on the 360 is one thing. God of war III looks like quite a pretty game but it's nothing spectacular and the 360 hardware could easily manage it.
To say it couldn't be accomplished on anything BUT the PS3 (erm, PC anyone?) is absolutely ridiculous. Crysis chews this game up and spits it out. Not that I expect this game should come out on the PC, as none of the other GOW games have and its not really a PC friendly game to most people in terms of the control system. But to say the PC couldn't handle it graphically is preposterous.
