In a recent interview with our local Xbox Community Network, Bulletstorm dev People Can Fly’s creative director Adrian Chmielarz drops a rather lucid comment on the state of current gen consoles.
Asked if the Xbox 360 has any real technological edge over the PS3, Chmielarz says that, “A couple of years ago, I would have given you a different answer to that question, but nowadays most developers have figured out both consoles and can get similar results on either one. Have you noticed that we have more and more games that look identical no matter what the platform is?”
Actually, over the weekend, Eurogamer’s tech wizard division Digital Foundry posted their regular face-off feature, comparing different platform versions of Dead Space 2. The verdict: they all look pretty much the same.
“For me, currently the strength of the console is not judged by its theoretical processing power or such, but by the answers to a few much simpler questions,” Chmielarz adds. “Which service do you prefer: Xbox Live or PSN? Which controller do you prefer? Are the games you like available on the console you’ve chosen? Is your console giving you something you feel is very important to you, but the other console doesn’t have? These kinds of things.”
Someone give this guy a cupcake.
Is there any real discernable difference between the performance of the Xbox 360 and PS3? << Share your views on the MyGaming forum.
