"For example, we’ve reserved one whole processor on the PS3 for Dolby Digital 5.1 sound whereas on the 360 you have part of one processor to do that. So we can have a lot better sound mixing and a lot more effects going on at the same time. That kinds of makes us do a little bit less in the game [360] but makes for better audio. If we’re doing a PS3 only game however, we could be doing a lot more. We could be pushing a lot more on the screen."

If memory serves MikeB posted the Ghostbuster's team saying consessions had to be made to the PS3 version due to the 360. They stated they could do so much more on the screen of the PS3 but had to cut back due to the 360. IMO sad to see the PS3, which the team seemingly claimed to be superior, not have the superior version. If the end user received more poor textures that's not a win. So perhaps the 360 did the PS3 version a favor.

They did not claim the PS3 version would be superior, rather that they would have to resort to sacrifices. Ghostbuster, like many or most 360/PS3 multi-platform games was lead on the XBox 360. Recommended development practices on the 360 are inefficient, especially when ported over to the PS3 architecture.

Uncharted 2 is a top example what can be achieved with regard to level of detail in a game if developed exclusively (Cell processing and Blu-Ray streaming). I think playing that game should open some eyes.

There are concessions and there is completely destroying. If anything, the game should have looked the same on both formats. Even if the PS3 was capable of more, this game should not have suffered in the manner it did.

To highlight this, you only have to look at the StreetFighter IV versions. Aside from a few extra little tweaks again that the 360 version had over the PS3, the two games were (for all intents and purposes) identical.

@FLFB

I haven't seen direct comparisons of the games you recently acquired for your PS3 (but as far as I was aware, there weren't the same issues with them as with GB on the PS3).

I do own Fracture myself on the 360, but it is one of many games that I have not actually played yet (aside from a demo ages ago).
