GS: Will the framerate be improving?

MR: Well we've been working on this (actual hardware) like I say, for about two weeks [as of Tokyo Game Show]. We've done very little optimization, I'd like to say the lowest of low-hanging fruit optimization. We're only running on a single core now, so we'll get at least double that, it'll be super smooth. We didn't even expect to get onto the final box until X05, and here we are. So the Xbox 360 really exceeded our expectations.

GS: Can you shoot that sign up there?

CB: You will be able to make it procedural and everything, we have that ability, but right now it's canned animation. This demo doesn't leverage physics nearly as much as the final game will. With that cabinet there, in the final version you'll be able to shoot it and move it procedurally, with realtime physics.

i remember reading this before, but its always good to read again and again.  honestly im thinking that GoW running at 60 fps goal is a reality.  the X05 vid seems to be running atleast 30fps and right there they are saying they intend on doubling it.  seeing how good the game looks and moves running on only one core it scares me to think about how good future games in the series (and future games in general) are going to look when the devs get more comfortable with the 360's hardware.  i think in 4 years we will be joking about how in the beginning we considered GoW next gen and the sequals will sqaush it in many ways.  

this game, as with many others, cant come out fast enough.

    now that's what I can't wait for!  Imagine Halo 3 running on all three cores and making GOW look like fusion frenzy!

i dont see that happening.  im sure MS would want halo 3 to come out during the first half the 360's life cycle (while the game is still popular) and by that time it may look better then GoW but i dont think it would eclipse it by leaps and bounds.  im sure by the end of the next gen war there will be games that make both GoW and halo 3 less stunning (maybe GoW 2   )
