It wasn't just the PS3 that held back GTA's release. It was the 360's limited disk space just so you know.

If they can litter the screen with twice the stuff on the PS3 then I say go for it, why even bother with the 360 version, oh wait they like to make money. Maybe Terminal Reality will finally get around to that PS3 exclusive that will just rock all our socks off after this.

That's probably true if your a terrible developer. Let's see first of all the 360's cores are split into 3 "mini" cores. What this means is that it's like having 9 cores running at once. The cell processor on the other hand is only capable of running it's 7 cores. What games has Terminal made before? Oh yeah some of the worst games I've ever played at any point in time. I'm sorry but I don't believe technical advice given from a company who's best game was Bloodrayne. Good job Terminal I definitely won't be purchasing this game.

Don't be an idiot. There is a big difference between the 8 (1 redundant) SPEs on the PS3's Cell and the 3 cores of the 360's PowerPC chip. The Cell is dual threaded with each SPE as a single thread. It is a nightmare to code for and quite frankly not all that efficient.
So to reinforce what you just learned, the Cell is dual-THREADED with 7 active single-thread SPE's.
The 360's modified Xenon has 3 cores. That is 3 independant cores on one chip, each core is dual-threaded. The theoretical performance of both the PS3's CPU and the 360's are nearly identical, moron.
Please sign this contract to agree to not breed, we don't need your shitty genes in our pool; it slows evolution.

Bullshit
Heres why
A shitty dev has found a way to make the ps3 handle more on screen action?Really why not do it with the other 360 exclusives by devs who are more skilled we havent seen any of that yet?
naughty dog anyone?
Gow2 is going to be capable of displaying shitloads on screen it was already stated.Your saying the 360 cant handle it?
One chip is for audio alone?
Im not gonna even get into audio becuase im a producer/sound engineer and i know a thing about the ps3 and its audio and where it can be programmed to so that line is bullshit.
I have been working on audio for a upcoming ps3 exclusive "chills" and i can tell you its bullshit.
So take this bullshit and and take your sony paycheck and go elsewhere.This game is gonna be bullshit anyway.Whats next a new ninja turtles games?
make this shit for the wii.Thats the only audience you will get.

I say if it supposely runs better on the PS3 then just make it for the PS3. I doubt 360 fans is going to miss not having a Ghostbusters game.

Who gives a crap. This is something developers have been dealing with for a long time when trying to have a multi-platform game. Get used to it. Sure the PS3 may be the powerhouse this generation, but the next Xbox may make the next PS look like a toaster. Who knows. It's getting the point where it just doesn't matter if I can show 100 books flying around a room, or 120.

Wow man you should seriously consider getting laid sometime this century. The entire point to what I said was the the PS3 isn't as impressive as Terminal is trying to portray it. I couldn't remember all the technical specs on each console because I have some sort of life. My main point to the comment was that Terminal is a poor developing company and in all reality their opinion really doesn't matter. When the best thing you've created is Bloodrayne you should be out of business. Now quit bein a fuckin dick...

They need to replace there president so he can stay in bed with Sony 24/7. That is such a load, yes I only own a 360 but I have yet to see a game that leads any credence to his bogus comments.

This is the first time I've heard a developer talk about programming for the PS3 as "better". Up to now I've heard it's design is horrible for developers. Also, I think it's interesting when a developer starts to complain about hardware, and how many objects can be on screen at once, and then Epic demos their engine with hundreds of detailed characters all running different patterns and obstacle detection. If you rely on hardware too much, then you aren't a good developer, and your games will suck either way.

Your 100% right dude...except they've never proven to be a good developer. Check out this track record of utter crap.

thinking of that Locust Horde makes me smile.
i'd say this game should just be released on PS3 & see the crappy sales figures, then he'll realise he should have properly worked on the X360 version [UT3 anyone?]
everyone knows that a large % of PS3 owners dont even play games - devs have to release on X360 if they want to actually make £$€.

Of course they are teling the truth. What they aren't telling you is that they'd have to downgrade to 370p in order to do it.
I joke.
I think we can take this with a huge grain of salt. The ps3 doesn't have 7 processors. It has 1. I has one with 6 spus. But those are not processors. The fact that they do not know this speaks more to their ignorance of the basic technology than any kind of power difference. Also, take a gander at Terminal Reality's past games. Roadkill, bloodrayne,Aeon Flux? These guys barely know anything about game development, let alone the systems.

I think if that's true they should just go right ahead and make the PS3 version better. I know I sure as hell wouldn't blame them for doing more on the PS3 if it's indeed capable of more.

Bullshit. Plain and simple. They have bad programmers or engineers or whatever, that's it. If Rockstar can make GTA IV equal, or close to it, on both platforms, then no game developer can ever say the 360 or PS3 are not equals or close to it. The only major thing PS3 has over 360 is Blu-Ray.
