PlayStation 3 Too Low-Tech for Gears of Wars
Preston Thorne of Epic Games slips out some information
Apparently, the Xbox 360 has reached its limits with Gears of Wars, hardware limits that is. Gears of War is a third-person tactical action game developed by Epic Games and using the 3.0 Unreal Engine.
In an interview gave to Siliconera, Epic Games manager, Preston Thorne declared that through this game, his company has pushed the Xbox to the
limits. Joystiq gaming news website consider that there is some truth in this statement as, according to them, Epic was the one that convinced Microsoft to upgrade Xbox 360’s RAM to 512. Epic is still supporting their statement according to which Gears of War would not be able to run on 256 MB of RAM. Preston was also asked if the PlayStation 3 will be able to handle the game, but presumably he dodged the question, but still implied that the answer was no.
We won’t be able to find out if the PS3 will be able to handle Gears of War or not because a PS3 version of the game hasn’t been announced yet. I wonder why? Anyway, the game will surely come out on the Xbox 360 on November 7 in the US and November 17 in Europe. Don’t get you hopes up! Not all US natives will play the game on November 7, as it will be available only in some select stores.
