Post: Infamous 2 not to be made on Xbox

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Sucker Punch’s Chris Zimmerman has declared that there’s “no way” inFamous 2 could be done on Microsoft’s Xbox 360 platform.

Chatting with Play Magazine, Zimmerman said the PS3’s added technical prowess means that games such as Uncharted 2 and the electricity-charged sequel could never be replicated on 360.

"There's just more processing power on the PS3. If you look at games like Uncharted 2 that's a game that you actually can't do on Xbox no matter how clever you are."

"InFamous 2 is going to be the same way," he added. "You'll look at it and see that there's no way we could have done this game on 360."

Still, it took the team at Sucker Punch a while to get to grips with the console’s tricky architecture, with Zimmerman conceding the studio made some “dumb decisions” with the original inFamous.

"In technical terms the biggest thing that we've done is migrate a much larger part of our code to run on the SPUs," he explained.

"The PS3 has this elaborate architecture where there's a whole bunch of different places you can have your code run and we had it all running in the slow part."

inFamous 2 is scheduled for release in 2011.

I own both consoles.
But I know, and you know, and all the game develepers know that the PS3 can do more.


The 360 actually has a better GPU than the PS3. The PS3 just has a better processor but saying that the game couldn't be made on the 360 is purely a publicity stunt.

I really don't think it is.

It is, I mentioned the GPU NOT the CPU. We all know the PS3's CPU is better and I did mention that.

Game crap really makes you sound credible.

Seriously the 360 has a better GPU, fact. Just accept it and stop whining.

Hey I'm not a game develeper...
And I meant CPU, did you even watch the video at all.
The moral of the story is PS3 can hold games that the 360 is not capable of holding.

Isn't that what I said 2 posts ago? The PS3 has a better processor but the 360 has the upper hand in the GPU side?
