Hi everybody, I always troll on these forums :) and really enjoy the indepth threads that are posted, what I am very interested for these 'Next Gen' consoles, specifically the PS3 (the one I will buy) is for example Fifa 2007 for PS3 and XBOX360, in what I have noticed from previous consoles, there aren't any major graphical differences texture wise or anything, but rather direct ports to just be compatible with the other system.

I dont know if any of you have in depth knowledge about how 'porting' games across consoles works, but I think it will really be limiting the PS3's capabilities if the game was created for xbox360 and ported to PS3.

With that said, I know games such as Gran Turismo 5 which is the only reason i'll be getting the ps3 once GT5 comes out, will be unparalelled in visual quality and everything, becuase its specific to the console.

Does anybody else notice this trend with ports looking 'very' similar if not identical, I would believe game developers just dont bother enhancing the visual quality of games for time/cost issues, but in the end you get a game that you will put into the xbox360 and then the same game in the ps3 and they look the same.

Hopefully developers are going to make quality enhancements specific to each system, which would really allow the ps3 to shine, and xbox respectively in multi-console games.

Welcome to afterdawn and the ps3 forums :)

Yeah I know what you mean.This is one of the reasons exclusives look so good.Well if the companies get off their a$$ and do it,it would be nice.The pc versions of games are given better gfx.AS far as 360 and ps3 they are close in power but 3 cores and 8 "cores" should be programmed differently to take advantage of 8...Also the cell processor in the ps3 will have a different architechture too and a motion sensing controller.

It's my hope they optimize each game for each console and most games are but some just aren't.
