Xbox 360 Fanboy

Well, I'd bet it's Microsoft.

They've done a lot right this gen, but a bit wrong too. Second only to the RRoD issues, I'd say that the way they lock down everything in the console is another. Like how Unreal Tournament can't get mods like the PS3 can, or how the PS3 can install Linux. Usually it isn't an issue, but for some of this higher level stuff, its just unfortunate. Sure, I'd rather be able to use this feature than not, but I won't lose any sleep over it.

I'm not saying that Nintendo and Sony aren't bad about locking down peripherals and machine access as well- just that MS does it the most.

Please enlighten us on all the gimped 360 games.

Gimped 360 games (all worse than their PS3 counterparts).

GTA IV
Burnout Pardaise
Guitar Hero World Tour
Starwars Force Unleashed
Rage is severely gimped on 360, and making the PS3 version gimped to match.
Madden 09, better on PS3

Those are all of the top of my head. There are plenty more. last year was about the Xbox having the slight edge over the PS3 versions, the tables have clearly turned now, sorry it upsets you so much. Perhaps if the xbots did not make such a big deal last year, then people wouldn't be throwing it back this year.

WOW, I have no idea GTA IV on xbox is gimped because it runs at 720P as to 640P on PS3.


Here's the fine print on your Gamasutra article:

"The preceding is the views and opinions of one person and not of EEDAR, The simExchange, GamerMetrics, or Gametrailers."

So what Epic claims that they are reaching the limit of the 360? They are just trying to sell the Unreal Engine.

I'll be damned if I think an article from PSU is impartial.

Star Wars: Force Unleashed?
Madden 09?

How about this, PS3 games have mandatory installs and hence GIMPED.

That's OK, many people are fooled by Microsoft into thinking the be-all and end-all is resolution. Clearly it's not. The textures and framerates in PS3 GTA IV is so much better than the resolution drop.

well if it is, i wouldn't be complaining if i were you. 360 got rock band 2 a month early, so why can't ps3 have an exclusive feature? heck, other major games like gta4 and fallout 3 have 360-exclusive content. so you're gonna have to get used to it.
