A developer at Volition, group behind the upcoming Red Faction: Guerrilla, joins the camp of developers who attest the PS3 has unbridled power beneath a rather complicated shell. Jeff Carroll, associate producer for the game, said other developers will struggle at first with the PS3, but when they figure it out, there’s a very powerful system there.


As for the needless comparison between 360 and PS3 versions, Carroll said “We’ve got the PS3 running at a similar frame rate to the 360. We’re finding some of the challenges of the PS3 beneficial. We feel like we’re doing rather well with the PS3.” He goes into some specific benefits the PS3 brings to the table, like the increase in running speed once they moved animations and physics from the CPUs onto the SPUs. Potentially, Carroll said, the PS3 will push out better graphics than the 360. Since he says this game is pushing the PS3, maybe we’ll see results that support his claim!

That’s what they said about the Saturn vs the PS1 but if you can’t learn how to tap that processor power then it doesn’t do the consumer or developers any good.

I thought Saturn developers did a good job of tapping its power, the Saturn games were better looking than on the PS1.
