The Xbox 360 and PS3 are all maxed out

[phakt]

Firstly this whole topic should be taken with a pinch of salt. The epic statement regarding the 360 being maxed out was made in 2006 (i know cause cliffy B mentions that on the gears 1 Limited Ed bonus disc). yet they released gears 2 which looked even better so how could the 360 have been maxed out ? same with ucharted 2 ! i remember with the ps1 days in early 1997 people were specualting about tekken 3 appearing on the ps1, namco said it is impossible and would require a miracle, yet a few months lated tekken 3 got released on the ps1.

the only limitation of current gen consoles is the ram which is 512 for the ps3 and 512 + 10 for the 360 (most dev's have problems with ram limitations 95% of the time) other than that both consoles have processors that are quite on par with current top cpu's

Well I do believe that they have maxed out the PS3, but this could merely be due to piss poor programming. Refine your engine, reduce your RAM usage and hey presto! Bob's your uncle!

All maxed out? Where have I heard this before?
I wouldn't be surprised if developers pick up a trick or two as they did to produce God of War.

Um lemme see.....I have Opera, Internet Explorer,Free Download Manager, Windows Media Player and Excel 2000 open and my CPU usage went as high as 40%
Does this mean that my Core2 E8400 is getting closer to breaking out in a sweat?

Thanks for that reference to GOW. Was thinking exactly the same. Dont think the exclusives are maxed out at all. Think its up to the specific developers to utilize the current platform to the max. Obviously dependant on their knowledge of it. The more they know the more they will be able to sqeez out of the platform.

Its usual developer hype to hype up their games.
With tweaking and more efficient coding one can most certainly improve games.

I agree this happend on the PS2 as well , if anything the PS3 based on what we have so early on , should be able to do more .
and Im sure they will.

I personally dont think the 360 is maxed out yet, for they are still to bring out the engine that beats Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain hehe. Fingers Crossed mmmm

Yup, I think both consoles have a quite a bit oomph left in them.
