I'm not talking about (if you wish to call them) "Porters" that are paid to come up with code so the PS3 can run the same games as the Xbox360.
I mean, people who are actually knuckling down hard, getting their heads around and planning to wow us in the future with new software specifically written to take advantage of the Cell processor etc?
Having now got both consoles, I've got nothing to loose either way, but at the moment, (on average) is does seem the 360 has a tiny edge when it comes to many cross platform games, be it lighting, colour, smoothness etc.
To keep things fair?
I'd like to start seeing some things that run best (or only) on the PS3.
I know the PS2 took a long time to get off the ground.
The original xbox on launch day (Halo and Kameo) seemed to hit the ground, day 1 with superb graphics that didn't seem to get any better over the life of the console. which is great, but it kinda felt like we'd seen the best on day one. Which as I said is no bad thing in some ways.
With the PS3, I get the feeling, again (hopefully) there will be a slow burn to start with, and over time as developers start working out how to fully utilise what they've got we'll see the PS3 starting to pick up speed.
Now do you think I'm talking crap, and it's just not going to happen.
It's just going to be 90%+ multi format releases, or do you think that indeed there is a secret army of coders out there, who will be showing the fruits of their labour in the next year or two?
Am I hoping for something that's not going to happen this time around?
