Xbox360 Devs Can't Match PS3 Exclusives Without The X-Engine

Currently in the fourth year the wow factor of the Xbox360 in terms of forward movement with their exclusive titles hasn't been as strong and that's something that can hurt them in the long run especially when Sony has proved they have the upper hand with the power of the PS3.

2009 may very well have been a time for Xbox360 to restructure because 2010 seems to be turning out to be the exact opposite in terms of game quality, and the answer is the X-Engine.

1 - Yeah..people who saw Halo reach
people who saw Halo reach can't beleive it's possible on 2005 hardware...

X-engine is a real deal..just wait till super bowl final and you will be very surprised by the power of 360.

MS don't need many first party studios...Sony have about 20 of them and they get no profit for Sony now...because they make games with low sales. Insomniac is looking to lost exclusivity...and after X-engine will be showen many other devs will speck open about that too. X-engine and xbox brand, next xbox are the future for earning money.

When X-engine will be show it is all over for PS3. Sony will be forced to bring Ps4 as quickly as they can...but xbox 720 and wii2 again will be sooner...

Things not so good for Sony this and next gen. just remember that and see what is going to happen in the next 6 mount.

MS is loosing now..but it's only one battle in the whole war.
Don't worry Xbox fans. Microsoft know how to get our money. And we will bring it them when will see what they are cooking for us now fo allready many many years with AMD/ATI and their partners.

1.3 - lol how desperate
You must be desperate to be posting pathetic lines such as "Don't worry Xbox fans. Microsoft know how to get our money". Wow, and I thought X-tards didn't care about technology, and graphics, only sales. Well, I guess time will tell about the graphics (this is obviously rumor, nothing confirmed, only delusional X-tards in need of "hope" will take this as gospel), but you'll still have to wait for the games.

BTW, why is it that no Xbox developer has ever "exploited" the Xbox hardware? Sounds more like damage control to me, considering how easy it is to develop for it. I find it hilarious that this so called "developer" hates Sony and talks so much trash yet desperate X-tards give him credibility.

What the hell is a X-engine??????? I never hear about this type of engine in almost 5 years and suddenly they talk about the X-engine.
The 360 is already tot max, even they use the so-called X-engine.

It's not about the engine that first party developers use, it's the power from the hardware itself, and that the PS3 has more power twice the 360 so called X-engine will never get the quality what the PS3 has to offer.

The cry engine is already to the limits from the 360 (because the less power), and the cry-engine is the best engine to date for the 360 and not for the PS3.

The engine from Killzone 2 and Naughty dog beat the cry-engine in all aspect if we talk about PS3 exclusive, so the so-called X-engine is a big fake in my opinion.

Why i think, because we almost 5 years later and the fact that the 360 is a easy to program and the most 3e party developers engine is based for the 360 with his gimped PC architecture.

Alan wake will be a good game with great graphics, but Uncharted 2/Killzone 2/GT5/GOW3 and more future PS3 exclusive will the graphics from Alan wake kick in high heaven.

So, you are talking bulshit with your beloved so-called X-engine.
Get over it with your pitiful answer.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see if it's for real or not. I cannot wait for Halo Reach, it's going to kick ass!

@TheRealKiller, I heard about it several months ago when they said that MS was shipping out new dev kits to developers that will help maximize the potential of the 360. Personally I can't wait to see what they can do with it.

1.9 - if 4 years didnt show the power of 360
i doubt in the forth year something will come out and show something that wasnt shown before.

this is just fantasies MS lie to their brainless bots.

360 will never ever have anything that comes even near uncharted 2 period. oh wait forget uncharted 2, i save not even close to uncharted 1, which was released 1 year after ps3 launched.

I sense a disturbance in the farce of what you call reality. No dev kit or engine will show off the power of xbox 64. Come on you bots can't actually beleive this crap. All the 360 is, is a half @ss computer from 05 that self destructs when used over 50 hours. If that pos could pump out ps3 like graphics it would have been done a year and a half ago. The only thing that will come out of this is halo will finally be in hd. Because halo reach is exactly that a phuckin reach with last gen hardware and gameplay. So I guess congrats you suckers.

Ken, you pancake-faced idiot, if anyone knows about waiting, it's you. How old are you anyway? What kind've an insult is "ChatBot"?

I'm sure you're going to bed every night praying that the X-Engine doesn't live up to the hype. It shouldn't even matter to you. If you like PS3 games better, then just play your PS3. I like Halo and Gears better, so I'll play my 360. I couldn't care less if PS3 exclusives turn out good or bad. I plan on getting a Slim eventually, so I'm hoping I have a few more good ones to choose from by the time I get one. But it is nice to see a stinker every once in a while, just so I can watch you little boys (and I really am convinced that that is the demo that make up most of this website) get mad.

Oh, and I wish that I worked at MS, but unfortunately I live on the wrong coast.

1.13 - some of your point were off base
still i have to be shown because sony is showing not talking no more now it sounds like xbox is doing the talking.plus after talking to a devloper today and from what he told me. the ps3 can do realism that the 360 cant match. although the 360 can look great it will never be able to perform the physics that the ps3 can. so game may start to look better on the 360 but the physics cant match the ps3. i so agree you can get better graphic but, take the scene in uncharted where the building was faling and your moving and everything that is going on 360 can't do that.

By the time they even reach KZ2's level of graphics (another 2 years or most likely never) the PS3 will be light years ahead of the 360 and eventually the 360 devs will give up before even reaching KZ2's graphics.

The future of gaming is all about multi core processing in which you let several SPU's do handle everything form the physics all the way down to the graphics and that's something the 360 can't and will never do because of it's out dated 2005 hardware.

The 3 cored processor in the 360 is nothing compared to the 7 SPU's on the PS3's Cell Processor, the more efficiently you use each SPU on the PS3 the better the game becomes and so far no one's done that. What Naughty Dog meant by using the PS3's full potential as clarified by ND's Even Whells was that they used every SPU in the PS3 but they have NOT maxed out the 7 SPU's so there's tons of space for improvements in the near future.

You get my agree.

But it's more than just 7 SPU's what about the RSX and 256 XDR RAM, without it it was nearly imposable to get the Uncharted 2 or Killzone 2.
The RSX is also a very powerful chip,has more power than a gimped Ati PC card.

Remember, the most RSX test was running on PC architecture and not of the Cell architecture that's why the RSX loss the battle with the Xenos. It was unfair test for the RSX.

The cell and the RSX are the calculations, the SPU's are the servers from those chips and the 256 XDR RAM are the super highway from both SPU/CELL and RSX and finely the MONSTER in a black box :)

This is what many people forget about it.

Xbox developers dont fully utilise the xbox on purpose, which is why it lags so much behind.

they fear it may fail if fully utilised, thats the reason why halo runs at 540:P

halo reach yea another 540p title coming your way.

11 - software vrs hardware
i say this all the time you cant change hardware just software. software can do amaizing things, but hardware makes that possible,so if you built a inferior system, a simple software update may get things running better but the machine is still only gonna be able to do so much. good story but its a new engine thats all it will probably be something that the ps3 does with their system soon. oh wait they did just free up some memory for devlopers. x engine wont make a difference.
let me ask you a question since the xengine has just came do you think it will jsut give the 360 a new plateau of will it give it a growth curve?
either way the ps3 is on a growth curve and the 360 has plateau'd out if would be nice to see it grow but it will just reach another plateau, developers know all its tricks. insomniac is just now saying they can do tricks.
no matter what software come to the system they can't get the hardware better.
its like saying i could get ps2 graphic out of n64 with a better dev kit, not gonna happen.

X engine? The 360 has been used to it's pathetic max and the games are garbage. This is a attempt to give 360 fans hope and to try to keep them from buying a PS3. Buy a PS3 and do not listen to the B. S. There is no saving the 360. The PS3 monster is alive and is feasting.

13 - A new engine won't do anything.
The 360's just weak, outdated hardware. The greatest engine in the world isn't much without something like the PS3 to power it.

Just beat Uncharted 2, and you'll see what I mean.

Whilst I dont think the 360 is maxed this "X engine" is not going to mean incredible graphics all of a sudden.

The ps3 just seems to be a more powerful machine. Due to its hard drive, blu ray, and faster ram.

The 360 has been around for 4 years and its graphical progress is slowing. maybe a new engine will help but not that much.

You ain't never gonna see any game the likes of Uncharted 2 on the Crapbox. It just can't handle the raw processing power it takes to run GOTY 2009. Hell, Game of the Generation! I mean, just look at the graphics on 360 exclusives. Halo 3: ODST looks like an Xbox 1 game, LOL! Left 4 Dead 2 is embarrassing and it's not even exclusive anyway. I'll be playing the superior PC version. Then you have 2 year old graphics in the GTA episodes. What else is there?

The 360 can't handle Uncharted, God of War, or Heavy Rain-level graphics. Those are only possible on the PS3 - the video game console of the gods. Hell, the 360 is yet to have a game look even as good as MGS4, which is over a year old!

The xbox is capbale of handling all ps3 exclusives I bet smoother. I think because the PS3 was released late and there was talk about the cell sony wanted to be known as the console with the best graphics. In reality it isn't. Uncharted and killzone basicaly maxed out the system because the game was supported by Sony to have the best graphics so they made use of blu_ray, Edge tools, no split-screen, 1GB dev kit. Microsoft said that future games will surpass ps3 excluives. Halo reach is sure to prove that the 360 is really more powerful.
