TBH I'd be surprised if the Xbox360 couldn't do better ...
I'm pretty sure Halo3 will push more about of the 360.

Hopefully...



I think GRAW just has so much stuff going on in a small space at once, the X360 finds it hard to keep up.... Personally i think this game would suck on the PC, ha ha.

meh, i don't care.  let's see the game first...

DON'T TAKE THIS NEWS as meaning that 360 games won't improve at all after GoW. That's completely wrong. There's no way a game released 1 year after the launch of a new system (in this case the 360) will use even close to 85-90% of the power, let alone 100%. That's ridiculous. If you believe that, you're a 'tard.

That's like saying there were games on PS2 or Xbox1 that pushed the limit within 1 year of release. Or any other system for that matter. It's BS. I've been gaming for 20 years, played every console since the early 80's, and NO CONSOLE has ever achieved this.

End of discussion.

I wonder if Gears of War is the first game to use multiple cores?

Agreed.  Its very easy to write software that pushes a device to its limit.  Thats what benchmark programs do.  The trick is to utilize the resources effectively to make a game look/play as good as possible w/o bogging down the system.

To me this announcement can be interpreted as "we have crummy software engineers".

[whiteboytroy]

what they really said was to the limit CURRENTLY. people like to spin it their own way to make themselves feel better i guess

gears of war is going 2 be good, 360 can get much much better, i love gears of war got my stuff preordered but i kno its not the best 360 can do, epic has been working on this game to make sure it doenst cause hardware or any other issues with 360, they have it running at 60fps, and the reason other games like the rainbow six demo freeze up is cuz they dont put enough time and effort into it, ubisoft and EA like to make shitty versions of their game most of the time for all consoles and not really put forth the effor to debug and fix all of the issues. I mean look at Dead Rising it could have taken them 5 min to fix that SDTV text issue but they said fuck it, epic isnt like that with gears of war they have been working on it 1 year before xbox 360 was even announced, plus the rest of this time, Gears of war is def gonna b the beggining of the real next gen.

Ubisoft put alot of effort into their games on the 360.  The demo froze because the 360 was rushed and wasn't properly vented inside.  I have had more than one 360 freeze on all of my games so I doubt it is always faulty programming.

I think people with broken Xbox 360s are either:
1. PS3 Fanboys who are trying to divert attention away from the Resistance Killer (aka Gears of War). Yes, that's what Sony said about Resistance being the Halo Killer. I'm pretty sure they meant Halo 2 not Halo 3
2. Retards because MS is refunding money for the broken Xbox 360s. (Made before 2006, because the problem was isolated afterwards and has no relationship with how much stress is being put on the system - aka defect) Are you guys trying to blow the issue out of proportion? Obviously, just because every 3rd post has to do with the "3 rings of death" doesn't mean everyone has it. Only those who have it will go online will talk trash. If you ever took Statistics you'd know that this shit is biased. And all this crap with 33% of 360 failing is crap too, because MS would of recalled and some 3rd party calculations are probably wrong and meaningless. I think Microsoft would know the real failure numbers.

So you telling me it's my fault that the 360's I keep getting are faulty.  It's my fault they send me back a refurbed xbox instead of giving me a brand new one???  I think maybe you are just an xbox fanboy way too much.  Why would M$ give you the real numbers?  Look how long it took them to admit to the first batch of 360's being faulty and having issues?  Come on man, open your eyes.  It's a good system, yeah, when it's working....

Same thing I say. I have the $ for a 360, but IDk if I wanna wait till the revision or not. I hope they have a revision by XMas but I doubt it.

It's just hype for the game, nothing more nothing less.

My 360 was bought in March, it freezes while playing Saints Row on a fairly regular basis and stutters while playing downloaded videos. The problem has not been "isolated". It's bad internal design somewhere. Then there was the Dead Rising issues...

I'll be buying a new 360 next year when the lower-temperature versions are released, hopefully it'll be less loud.

[crobar]

i think they are speaking to the fact that at this point with the unreal engine the game cant be any better tha it is.
now if they tweaked the engine and optimized it for the 360( as i understand it the engine doesn't even allow anti aliasing at this state) and then claimed this i think we would all be looking at a far superior game.
as i'm sure it was stated earlier the unreal engine was made for pc and ported over to 360 not optimized for the system as it could have been if it was built directly for the system.
the troubling thing to me is that they claim this game could not be made on the ps3 at all due to a lack of ram, did sony really shoot themselves in the foot like that?!

[Navillos]

uh d-range they said there will be a revision on the cpu, they said nothing about the gpu.
