View Full Version : Tecmo loves PS3 right now as it has highest specs
Tecmo has revealed why they have become rather fond of the Sony's PS3 platform. Right now, their 'move away' from Xbox 360 can be explained as the PS3 has the highest specs which suits their games better at the moment.
<blockquote>A strange turn of events seeing as in the past the team we very much taken with Microsoft’s XBOX.
The reason for that? “The PS3 [is] the hardware with the highest specs,” reckons Quantum director Makoto Shibata.
“It’s not that Tecmo is shifting away from the Xbox 360. It’s about timing. From the beginning this [Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2] was seen as a PS3 title and it happens to be coming out at the same time as Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.”</blockquote>

Best graphics on 360? Like where? Which game? Does 360 have anything that looks better than say Killzone 2? No? Then what are you talking about? And what best games? Old news man. Old News. Nobody realeased anything worth mentioning in exclusives department on the 360 since Gears 2, and they have Crackdown 2, Conviction, Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2 and Halo ODST and Reach (and the game has as many haters as it has fans, though I guess that doesn't matter much, haters aren't hurting sales), that are coming its way. Where does this lineup stand with God of War 3, Last Guardian, Uncharted 2, Quantum Theory, Demon Souls, Heavy Rain, Agent? In your mind, it it clearly better? And right now 360 has Mass Effect, Halo 3, and two Gears, while ps3 has Resistance 1&2, Killzone 2, inFamous, MGS4, Uncharted, and some would add MLB The Show (i'm from Europe, we don't play or watch much baseball here, but this series on ps2 brought my attention to the sport which I carry to this day).
Really? Better games and graphics (especially the graphics part is...ummm....what's the word...)? Just like that? Talk about "arguable". And I'd like to mention, that I own both consoles, and pretty much every AAA exclusive on both consoles.

I just got done playing Killzone 2 and the SPECS did not help that game. It looked good nothing like the CGI video. The sound was great. But it had to load like halflife form 4 years ago. Over and Over. Then it would freeze while the HDD did something. Come on that game should have not had any loading at all! Better specs my ass. Bluray is just to slow to stream games.

If you can't see the better graphics then 1,you don't have a xbox360, or 2, you don't have a big full HDTV.
I have a 52 inch full HDTV and i can clearly see the difference in ps3 and xbox360 games,and don't even mention multi platform games,they look like **** on ps3.
Tough ps3 have some nice games,RFOM 1 and 2, killzone 2,uncharted,MGS4 and more, i only have 15 games for ps3 and 83 for xbox360,and its not for nothing,xbox360 have more exclusive AAA games now and in the future and multi platform are just so much better on xbox360,and don't forget about live ;-)
In comparison whit games,Wii have almost more better AAA games then ps3.

Hey I have a PS3 and 360 and a nice 50" 1080p tv and you sir are wrong. PS3 has the better looking games. Ever play Uncharted and Killzone 2?? Those games look better than any game 360 currently has and Uncharted 2 will continue that. PS3 has many good games out right now and many more to come. 360 has a weaker future as far as exclusive games are concerned.
If devs really try hard on the ps3 they prove every time that ps3 has the capabilities to produce better looking games even with a slightly inferior GPU.
And the thing about multiplatform games, only certain ones look worse on ps3 and that is because they were ported over from 360 and the devs didn't do as good of a job as they should. There are plenty of good looking multiplatform games that look better on ps3: Bioshock, Oblivion, Burnout Paradise.
As far as 360 exclusives the only big hit ones are Gears 2, Halo 3 and Fable 2. Try to name anything else and it mostly likely is out for pc too. If it comes to pc it does not make it an exclusive anymore. I get sick of people trying to pull that.
Although I agree with you on live. Xbox still has the edge on online, but not by much.
My main point being, if you played Uncharted or Killzone 2 and then played Gears 2 and Mass Effect, you could easily see the better system.

I feel your pain. I am on my 5th one. The replacement model they sent me in January was the launch 360 "fixed" and with some of my games it sounds like it's scratching them or eating them up or something. I can just sense the inevitable 5th RROD will come soon. Too bad my 3 year RROD warranty expires in October. I was thinking about purposely trying to get RROD so I can get a chance at a newer Jasper model.

Played Uncharted 2 BETA, and all I can say to you Xbox Fanboys is shut up you don't know Jack.
Tecmo has been producing Xbox exclusives since the dawn of the Xbox, and only till now they have started making PS3 games. So clearly this is not a paid statement by Sony and simply a statement coming form their true thoughts on the platform.
The only reason the Xbox seems "powerful" is because it receives a lot of attention from the big developers due to its low cost development, if the PS3 was to receive the same attention the difference is incomparable.

I think Tecmo need to get their collective tongues out of Sony’s arse and just produce some games.
I judge a system by its games and thus far the 360 is keeping up and in many cases the games are slightly better.
All this "my console has better specs than your consoles" is getting so FLOCKING BORING it’s unreal
No I’m not a "fanboy" as I own both units I just use my 360 more…

One of them doesn't get RROD... It's great playing without worrying about your console... shouldn't be legal selling 360 until the problem is really fixed... and a warranty extension is not the solution if they keep sending you what they send you... After my first rrod I gave the console to my little cousin... He's on his third now:mad::mad: Never had a problem with the Ps3...

Yes I agree the RROD is a problem, although I have 3 XB360’s and never had a problem with them.
But the subject matter was about "better specs"
The Wii has the worse specs then all this current gen of consoles and it’s still out on top.
So let’s start concentrating on what games have been / being produced and put this "speck BS" behind us. :)

And well, everyone is right about the ROD, i already have send my xbox360 back more then 10 times :s only good part about this, i did get a free second xbox360 from M$. My ps3 howevere never faild on me. :) and i have a nice blu-ray collection becuase of ps3 :)

Agree.
Itagaki seem to like microsoft xbox (same to Kojima like sony)
After Temco port Ninja Gaiden to ps3 (without him). It's seem that Itagaki don't like it.
And I think it's a part of reson (other than $1.3 million unpay wage) that lead to his resigned and Koei-Tecmo Holdings. After that Temco still like sony and port Ninja Gaiden 2 to ps3.
Anyway last news i know is Itagaki and former "real" Team Ninja is under setup a new studio.

The truth is that they are about equal in specs.
The big difference is services, price, games and cost of development.
Why keep arguing like your game consoles are incredibly powerful machines.
But they are not.
They are hardwired devices.
They have always been built behind the current curve of technology.
So if they were built behind the curve 3 years ago where does that put them now?
They don't come anywhere close to what a PC can deliver.
Further more FPS belong on PC's.
Consoles are for kids and kiddie games...
If you really think that you are ready for the big leagues then ante up.
Get your self a real computer and join the real fight online where the graphics are far better.
As for Nintendo they recognized the trend towards spiraling cost related to services, games and cost of development a long time ago
They played their cards perfectly while the major Corps formed and battled it out around an emerging billion dollar industry.

Its kinda funny most of the "grown ups" I know gave up on PC gaming long ago and have all moved to mostly the 360 and PS3. Just judging by the folks that come into my shop the average PC gamers around here are teenagers who tend to have the "big leagues" attitude you speak of. I think attitude is the heart of it, the grownups see it as a past time and recreational activity while the teens see it as something thats actually important.

Which is why, much to my dismay I may add, the Wii is doing as it's doing. I don't like the console, I think most of the games are crap, but it seems many people don't like the wii simply because their gaming manliness would take a hit. Is the wii really the next coming of Jesus? nope, but that doesn't mean that because someone bought it he's any less of a gamer; although, I will admit that I only know 2 dedicated gamers with wiis.
It's kinda sad, you think about it and some gamers behave like the KKK of gaming. You would think that after so much time we would have learned not to be prejudice.

(loading in game not even after a level) I was so pissed off. You get to killing and here comes a load, the game fezzes and the HDD starts spinning. But i did not load game data to the HDD, so why hell is it thinking???? Sony FKed by making games so hard to code plan and simple. Both systems have ups and downs nether is better, except for the Wii it is ****. :p Fun for 20min that it gets dust for 2 months at a time.

I love all this talk about "Specs". When both Graphic Specs on each console are based on specs that are 3 or 4 generations old.
I' have both 360 and PS3. Both look pretty much the same. Sometimes the PS3 gets screwed in the 1080p department.
It all depends on what you code for and if you code for just a specific console, then you can concentrate more on that consoles strengths and weaknesses.
When it's generalized then the coding becomes more sloppy as you have to compensate for both hardware specs to make it less of a headache for the programmers, artists etc... Sucks but that is the truth of it.
As far as "Specs", they are pretty much the same. Of course the hardcore games "know it all" however.....so this debt will rage on forever.....

FPS are apparently for adults only? Wrong, you're dumb.
Frames DO make a game better, moron. They don't determine whether a game is good, but they determine whether it is playable or unplayable--for those lacking a brain, playable or better is a good thing.
Higher resolution can make a game better, but that depends on the game. In that case, you actually have somewhat of a point.
You know a lot of kids who play on PC, so? I probably know just as many adults who use their PCs for gaming. His point--I think--is that PC gaming at the hardcore level usually outreaches any monetary bounds a "kid" can afford.
MMORPGs are a different breed of games so comparing them to FPS games is pretty inconsistent. FPS games--like Halo 3, Killzone 2, and Call of Duty 4--will eventually lose customers as competing games of the same genre appears. WoW usually loses customers to competing games temporarily while new customers join the ranks.
you guys can talk about adults playing pc all you want ... all i know if i dont know ANY of my buddies (me included) that want to sit around in a room alone and play on a pc (and all of my friends are 21+, i am 24)
maybe when you leave your parents house and go live on your own, you will find that it becomes more enjoyable to sit around a 50+ inch hdtv with your buddies drinking brews and playing games.
and as for the monetary side, my 54" hdtv cost $400, my xbox cost $400, those are the only two purchases i had to make, i would have spent well over $800 by now in the long run to keep my pc up to date and running every game at 1080 with good frames.
i pc gamed for over 15 years, but once i hit college i realized there is more fun to be had socially gaming with buddies.
to each his own, but to fucking just say stupid **** about kids playing consoles and adults on pcs.... jesus how fucking old are you? grow the **** up.

i pc gamed for over 15 years, but once i hit college i realized there is more fun to be had socially gaming with buddies.
to each his own, but to fucking just say stupid **** about kids playing consoles and adults on pcs.... jesus how fucking old are you? grow the **** up.
I think you just made a similar mistake. yes saying consoles are for kiddies is pretty stupid but I do think the gamers on PCs tend to be adults and by adult I mean over 18, there certainly is a large man child community. Now your mistake is very similar because people with PCs are not living with their parents, last I checked "PC gaming under the influence" was not a crime and pretty much all recent graphic cards can be connected to that 54inch e-penis 1080p TV and actually display in 1080p. Splitscreen Console games are starting to become as rare as their PC counterparts in favour of you guessed it on-line play. So there is nothing and I mean nothing stopping a PC gamer sitting around a 50+ HDTV playing games together having a brew.

yes! seriously, this "oh but i'd rather play on my big screen and sit back" is getting quite old and played out. I own a 1080p LCD, and i play and use my PC with it... WHILE SITTING in a lazyboy! It's little invention called wireless mouse and keyboard!
Maybe you should get with the times one of these days.
I also have a monitor... so you know, i can actually play my games at a resolution consoles/tv's could only dream of. Try playing any of your consoles games with a resolution of 2560x2048, oh exactly.. you can't. A) tv's don't have such high resolutions B) even if they did your precious console would explode.
I own consoles too, but making those statements he just did are purely moronic at best!
P.S. oh, and i OWN my own apartment... so yea, another fail in his argument

FPS are apparently for adults only? Wrong, you're dumb.
Frames DO make a game better, moron. They don't determine whether a game is good, but they determine whether it is playable or unplayable--for those lacking a brain, playable or better is a good thing.
Higher resolution can make a game better, but that depends on the game. In that case, you actually have somewhat of a point.
You know a lot of kids who play on PC, so? I probably know just as many adults who use their PCs for gaming. His point--I think--is that PC gaming at the hardcore level usually outreaches any monetary bounds a "kid" can afford.
MMORPGs are a different breed of games so comparing them to FPS games is pretty inconsistent. FPS games--like Halo 3, Killzone 2, and Call of Duty 4--will eventually lose customers as competing games of the same genre appears. WoW usually loses customers to competing games temporarily while new customers join the ranks.
i think you forgot to pickup on my sarcasm about shooters.. and as for frames? 60frames makes a game just as good as 120.. and we all know people who say pc gaming is a million times better and hardcore then console gaming only cares about fps and how a game looks.. a shooter on a console could only sell 500 000copies on a console in its lifetime, but could be the greatest shooter on pc because of the graphics alone. pc gamers are graphic nazis.
and yeah, kids game on high end pcs. nowadays mommy and daddy will buy their kids anything to keep em busy.

People say this like Sony are some small time company with no money, and I hope you are not referring to DOA or Ninja Gaiden as AAA titles, nice visuals but not good games.

Its all about the money (http://forums.maxconsole.net/showpost.php?p=1155776&postcount=25).
Learn a little about the evolution of the industry and gain a lot of insight.
I am not saying you don't, I am saying its a good idea to step outside of the current box for anyone to see where its coming from and where it -might- go.
