Is it just me or is the PS3 starting to look better than the 360?

If anyone is wondering what I'm talking about.

 

The latest issue of the UK's Edge magazine contains an interview with Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, who expresses disappointment with the latest game in the series, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. It isn't so much the gameplay itself as it is the graphics.

 

"Game-wise, it's pretty close to the original vision: you sneak into the battlefield and can choose whether to do a stealth game or interfere with the battle more directly. But the graphic, side things like motion-blending and the size of the map, totally was not accomplished to my original vision - to my satisfaction.

Now Kojima is a well-known perfectionist, but it is a bit disturbing to see him voice his dissatisfaction with what is supposed to be the masterpiece of the franchise. So where does he lay the blame for not fully realizing his vision?

"When we first showed the game engine at TGS, the staff were really proud and happy. PS3 was a dream machine, y'know, and we were going to work on this and that - and we had so many ideas. But when we actually started developing the game, we realized there were a lot of restrictions and so it turned out how you see it today. The original vision was to go ten steps further, the reality was just one step, which isn't to say we didn't progress.

So there was certainly progress made, but not enough progress...or more specifically, not enough power for progress. Apparently the team overestimated what the PlayStation 3 was capable of.

I remember saying three years ago that we wanted to create something revolutionary, but in reality we couldn't really do that because of the CPU. We're using the Cell engine to its limit., actually. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing the PS3 machine, it's just that we weren't really aware of what the full-spec PS3 offered - we were creating something we couldn't entirely see.

Well there you have it, straight from the man himself. Metal Gear Solid 4 is not revolutionary. Personally I think the man is being a bit hard on himself, but that's what great minds do. - Edge Magazine.

Ps3 seems to be competing more as before it was being outmatched in every department execept HD movie playing and reliability. If the 360 didn't have this problem it wouldn't be a perception of ps3 gaining.

 

PS3 only interests me more than 360 is hombrew wise with Linux and the possibility when xbmc linux is mature and the advantage of comp/media centre with HD/and emus would be the swaying factor. Its al pie in sky but the potential is there.

 

until Ninja Gaiden isnt exclusive the only system I want is 360 but biding my time atm.

Ninja Gaiden II for the Xbox 360 is an Xbox exclusive.

Well, maybe exclusive for 2 years than only ported to PS3 like the first one :P

Sounds a bit like how they waited 2 years and ported Metal Gear Solid 2 to the Xbox. Yet people keep naming MGS4 as an exclusive.
