'' PS3 Version of PES 2008 feeling smoother than Xbox 360
Gamespy is posting that the PS3 version of PES 2008 feels a 'little more fluid' on the PS3 console. However at Leipzig, After experiencing both versions they claim that they are much more impressed by what Konami has managed to 'squeeze out of the PS3's hardware' with the Xbox 360 merely building decently on last year's version ''
put some gasoline in the story that PS3 version is better
Seriously though everyone, how much more "fluid" can the game become. That word has now become pointless.
I suppose the testers don't have enough will to try and explain exactly what is different, but they just settle for "fluid". How about trying to analyze it and come up with some "facts", like some animations being quicker or slower, or something concrete.
If it is only this "feeling" they seem to have now, it is safe to say their arguments are completely pointless. They say "It looks like PS3 will receive the superior version", when they can't even say what is superior, other than "more fluid".
Are the textures in higher resolution (Has anyone that has played the game even used the replay mode yet to get some really close up shots of details or movements (other than the WENB footage of the Ronaldo Heel Rush)).
I think it is safe to ignore these reports until they can actually put these differences into words.
Besides, as mentioned by me before, it is pretty pintless trying to judge the response of the game when you have 2 different consoles with different input devices. Try going from a laptop keyboard to a proper keyboard with "deeper" keys, and notice a really big difference in "response" immediately.
WHen KONAMI announces the features and the possible differences between the consoles, then I'll believe it. And KONAMI did announce some time ago that all Next-Gen versions are going to be the same.
Now, KONAMI might seem flaky, but I would guess they have some amount of planning, rather than, 2 months before the game is due for release, saying:
"hey guys, we can squeeze a ton more shit into the Blu-Ray discs! And we should change the PS3 version slightly out of the blue right now for no apparent reason."
"Yeah, because we don't want them to be the same, what if someone buys it for both the 360 and the PS3, what will they think?"
"Yeah, I agree that we shouldn't release our own 'favourite version' to all consoles. Instead we should deliberately put an inferior version on the 360, one that we aren't as happy about, because there is nothing programmers want more than not having their preferred code played by millions of people".
