PS3: Games already maxing out the system?
Source: MotorStorm pushes PS3 to the max
I didn’t read the whole article…as I can’t get to it at work, but the little text I did read doesn’t bode well for any PS3 fan.
Speaking to Edge Online, Evolution Studios has revealed that its PlayStation 3 off road racer pushes Sony’s next-gen system to the max.
Well, that’s pretty sad. Not even 3 months out of the starting gates and Sony’s new box is all maxed out. 
The developers can’t make the system do any more than what they’ve already done. That’s as good as it’s going to get apparently. So much for, “We’ve only tapped half of the PS3′s potential.” I hope you enjoy your limited $500/$600 game system.
From what I understand, MotorStorm won’t even support splitscreen multi-player becuase it’s too taxing. From what I’ve seen of most reviews, it’s a fairly barren arcade racer. Plus, they can’t run the game in Sony’s “True HD”, a.k.a. 1080p. It has to run at 720p at best. Boo hoo. So much for those big “the next-generation doesn’t start till we say so” promises. Here’s a little clue Sony and all you PS fans…the next generation started over a year ago – you’re late to the party. So, it appears to me that all Sony wanted out of the PS3 is to push Blu-ray – and even that’s not doing well either.
Just do us all a favor and get a 360, which as plenty of headroom left in it, a ton of games for it, a killer on-line service, a great community, and a slew of new and emerging features…you can’t go wrong.
