Carmack: "Xbox 360 is better than PS3"
pretty much sums it up
There is some negative stuff, but it's hardly any different...

I would like to hear John's reaction to the MGS4 trailer.
Sure PCs will be more powerfull, but will we actually get any games on the PC that tap any of this power?
I would also like to see sales data for high end graphics cards, how many people actually have a PC right now that is more powerfull than an xbox?
My current PC stomps all over current gen consoles... yet the only benifit I get is high res textures and AA. Leon in RE4 is made up of more polys than 10 characters in a PC FPS.
I love FPS on my PC, but its mostly for the mod community and KB/mouse. I realize that they need to make the game playable on a wide range of systems, but why brag that the PC is the most powerfull when you have to cripple all your games? I'm sure your PC will be more powerfull than next gen consoles, but for the majority of people that is simply not the case, and as a result the rest of us uber-nerds with $500 graphics cards suffer.
"oh look I'm runnning this game a 300fps with 200x AA, but all the characters still have block hands so joe dirt can run it on his windows 95 box! yay!"
Yeah, that statement was SOOOO out of control.

So he likes 360 better because its more like a PC dev environment.

It's not surprising to hear PC guys like Newell and Carmack are not so hot on PS3. strong PS2 developers will be the ones who stand out in the beginning, because they are already familiar with the EE + VU0/VU1 set-up (like Kojima). PC devs are going to have a harder time by default.
...I could go on, but you can go re-read it, if you want.
Point is, I just looked over the thread and it is NOWHERE NEAR as negative as people are making it sound. Most of it was related to the fact that people though Doom 3 sucked and that JC is a PC guy and doesn't care for non-PC architecture. Very few people actually dismissed him, unlike Jaffe, where everyone was just like "Oh, he's on Sony's dollar...gee, that's trustworthy :ROLLEYES:". You claimed that the Jaffe thread was devoid of Jaffe bashing...and that this thread was nothing more than PS3 fanatics bashing X360. I don't know where you got that idea, but you were way off base.
As I said, it all depends on perspective and, in all honestly, there really isn't a whole lot of "Pro-PS3, anti-360" in this thread.
