6 - While the ps3 is not compatible with dx10

The 360 ahare many of the same feature sets as dx10...thanks to Microsoft. I always thought that was a masterstroke by MS and ATI. I am really looking foward to Unreal. I have always enjoyed the Unreal games. And this one should be the best one yet.

6.5 - EliteGamer's still spreading that BS?

DX 9c is not equally capable, or (as he likes to state) more capable than DX 10. If it was, DX10 would be worthless. We all know that the Xenos GPU was finished far before DX 10 was finalized; had they been given an extra 6 or 7 months then they could've had DX 10 on the 360.

PS3 on the other hand relies on OpenGL and CG (well documented, very efficient, very powerful), so developers on that platform have a lot of benefits.

11.1 - I'm with you there, buddy!

Some 360 fans are so full of themselves. "360 has some DX10 features." Well guess what? the PC platform was built from the ground up for DX10. Obviously, the PC version WILL BE the best. Like you all complain that the PC platform is "too expensive," this shows that we'll be playing the game at it's highest level of detail, with DX10 videocards, for a little more green paper. >:] Which makes no difference to me.

Once this game comes out and there's screenshot comparisons, you'll see the difference from 360 and PC. Just like with Lost Planet:

Just take a look.

duh of course it will look better on PC. No one said it wouldn't and for the last time. My god the Xenos GPU DOES have DX10 capabilities. No it's not DX10. No it's not as good as DX10. But it also is not DX9. Like I said below it's like dx9.5

EDIT:: PS3007 um don't you own a PS3? Just curious. Oh and I think if anyone is a geek it's the person who updates their system every year to get updated graphics. Not the person who goes to the store every 6 years and buys a new system. Just my opinion. :)

11.4 - fps best on PCs.

Its been known that fps, flying sims and strategy games are best on PCs. Racing and beat em and shoot em ups are where consoles shine. I'll definately be picking UT for the pc not 360 although i loved Gears on 360. I'm sure even dx9 version would look sweet at 1440x900 rez with max setting, tnx to my Single SLI 1GB 7950GX2 vga.

as good as you believe the game will look do you really believe it will look anything compared to the e3 2005 trailer at the ps3 debut ha to think that ps3 truly needs dx whatever it really needs nothing pc has and the grahics will still be the TRUE next gen suck on that

13 - Enforcer...

Yea thanks. The point wasn't crysis. The point was to show that Elite was correct in stating that the 360 GPU (XENOS) does in FACT have dx10 similarities. It's not full on DX10 but it does have properties of it. It's like DX9.5 and anyone who is going to try and deny that is a moron. The article states it. ATI states it. You can find stuff everywhere. So anyone who says that Elite is lying or wrong is in fact WRONG.

14 - xbox360rocks....Thanks buddy.... Why is it that Sony Only Fans, have a problem understanding that the 360 does use some dx10 features...unified shaders...ect...

"If I have read it once, I have read it a thousand times, “The Xbox 360 is just ATI’s next generation (fill in favorite code name here) GPU.” The simple answer to that is, “No it is not.” While most modern GPUs share many architectural similarities, Bob Feldstein and Chris Evenden of ATI went out of their way to explain to me, no matter how hard I tried to convince them otherwise, that the Xbox 360 GPU is very much an original creation. While some will try to tell you that is it simply a modified DirectX 9 GPU, you might be interested to learn that the only API spec that the Xbox 360 hardware meets is its own API. That is correct, the Xbox 360 GPU only meets it own Xbox 360 API specifications. While of course some lessons learned in DX9 and upcoming DX10 were applied, the GPU of the Xbox 360 is very much its own and comparing it directly to anything in the PC world is simply “not right” according to Mr. Feldstein. Obviously, the Xbox 360 can be thought of as a very innovative solution specifically for the Xbox and only the Xbox."

http://www.hardocp.com/arti...

One interesting thing that was said to me during our conversation was that 3D game content developers were relied on along the way as the GPU was designed. Not consulted with or talked to once in a while, but relied upon for their GPU functionality requests and feedback as to the GPU’s implementation. Also keep in mind that Microsoft owns this technology and while there is certainly a good amount of technology sharing between ATI and Microsoft, Microsoft has the ability to make their own changes and take the part anywhere in the world to be fabricated. So while it is ATI’s design, it is fundamentally Microsoft’s GPU. All this and more indicates that the Xbox 360 GPU is truly a unique GPU.

I wonder who would click disagree with direct quotes and a link to ATI talking about the 360 GPU.... That just shows some people are in complete and utter denial...and its sad...

P.S. Deep....I know you out there... You can't pit xbox360rocks against me buddy. Nice try. I actually am starting to feel sorry for you.

14.1 - Agreed

and to further compliment your post, the following link is from beyond3d explaining the capabilities of xenos.

http://www.beyond3d.com/con...

Extract from the above "ATI had a clean slate with which to design on and no specified API to target. These factors have led to the Unified Shader design, something which ATI have prototyped and tested prior to its eventual implementation ( with the rumoured R400 development ? ) , with capabilities that don't fall within any corresponding API specification. Whilst ostensibly Xenos has been hailed as a Shader Model 3.0 part, its capabilities don't fall directly inline with it and exceed it in some areas giving this more than a whiff of WGF2.0 (Windows Graphics Foundation 2.0 - the new name for DirectX Next / DirectX 10) about it."

Edit: @POG..You're right, look at deeps bubbles now he had lost most of them when he was posting 360 news and was trying to be more neutral but now he's totally siding with sony fanbois and now has 9 bubbles.

I read that too and was "going" to post it fearing they would take my bubble(s) doing so. This site is going down the tubes. Its ran by Sony fanboys and sponsered Super Sony fans boys that do nothing but control popular opinion all day 24/7. Agreed! DEEP is the worst fanatic of them all post average 360 news to throw people off in a kind of alibi(throw a bone every once in a while spending all his time posting good PS3 news never bad and some average good 360 news and bad) . Soon this site will be nothing more than a PS3 forum.

(((((Lord Anubis)))))) New! comers?! lol i was a member of the Xbox 360 sister site months be for PS3today merged lol. You people were so rabid over there it caused 360 fans to launch counter attacks on PS3today after being bomb-barded by savage rabid and even racist personal PS fanboy attacks. LLLLOOOOOlLLLLLLL

16.1 - finally

finally a little common sense. Its funny how most people get all uptight about "their system", but the really have no clue about the way it operates. sure, you can google the 360 or ps3's specs, but to really understand how it all works takes a bit more effort and insight. it's truly funny how people think they know how the systems work. gotta love the fanboys, whether they are ps3, 360 or pc.
