Hell, it would behoove them to give EA all of them. You don't want the 900lb gorilla getting testy and looking for things to break.

I think when Madden was shown at E3 2000, it drew a lot of interest. MGS2 and GT was technically more compelling but Madden's fluid animation hadn't been seen in a sports game before.

EA can toy with MS, but I don't think they want to play hardball. They stand to make millions of dollars in profit off the X2.wco81 said:Qroach said:

Unless EA wants to sabotage MS.
They already HAVE played hardball with Microsoft. (Whether we know the full scope of their Live maneuverings, they were certainly playing fiercely. If they just wanted to make a few more millions from them, they'd simply have brought out their games as normal.) They're one of the few developers that can actually influence things the other way. As much as I don't care for their large and lumbering nature, I'm glad to see at least ONE of the developers able to pull rank on MS or Sony from time to time rather than the other way around. Call it a "balance of power" thing.
Looking amazing on what PS3? The one that doesn't even have a CPU and GPU yet? Wow... That's quite a feat.

PR CGI concept renders always look great.
Even if they don't have a developer's kit, I'm sure EA has the resources to put a team specifically on the next-generation engine. If Sony is really going to unveil the specs. by E3, then EA should know them by now?
Anyways, the EA sabotaging MS thing was meant as a joke. People accuse EA of doing that now because the suspicion is that EA's Xbox games are ported from the PS2.
So even though the Xbox versions support 480p and support specific features like using the hard drive and generally look better, some complain about how the Xbox versions have slowdown where the PS2 versions do not.
They see this as evidence that EA is screwing over MS.

You know, I do believe them that it will look amazing and the jump in quality will be large. But the thing is, this is the same leap they are talking with the Xbox 2. You're not going to notice a difference in graphics between the two systems. It's going to be even a smaller difference than it is right now...
How are you so sure?
Maybe with first generation games, you will not see the difference, but with later gen games, and especially exclusives you will
....hmmm, though with exclusives it will be hard to tell
It's not impossible that the next gen consoles will have features that other console doesn't have. Just because they will (especially initially, as art assets are shared between them) feature similar polycounts and similar resolution textures, doesn't mean they will look the same.
Well, in any case maybe they will on static screenshots

Will ????
There's no official info on any of the three, how can you say they will?
What if the rumours of Nintendo and that it will use some weird rendering technique that was in the patent, that would make the NIntendo games at least stand out from the crowd.

i have a hard time believing that we'll see a jump in graphics as large as ps1->ps2 with ps3 (compared to this current gen). things are already looking pretty good, and the slew ov excellent looking software just over the horizon (splinter cell chaos theory, farcry instincts, unreal chamionship 2) show that amazing things can still be done with today's hardware. the main differance will be in resolution (both screen res and texture res with support for high def displays, better and more use of fsaa, and a general reduction in jaggies) and more use of "cinimatic" framebuffer effects (more common use of depth of field, motion blur, ect). overall, especialy with launch titles, i think the differance will be noticable but not jaw dropping. maybe like the jump from dreamcast to xbox.
What wierd rendering technique... that's the thing. There's a reason video card manufacturers have slowed down when introducing entire new video card architechtures. The creation of new features is going to take more time then improving speed and modifying feature sets.
This happen about 5 or 6 years ago with video cards (or before the 3d accelerators) The video cards hit a wall and it just came down to who was faster at performing the same tasks. I think we've reached a point where the same is happening with 3D cards (between Nvidia & ATI).

I just don't understand why people assume there will be none whatsoever dÃfferences between the complexity and quality of next gen consoles graphics, if we look outside the multiplatform titles.
There were differences this gen, not significant at least to the mainstream gamer (which we are not, we are better! ).
If there is a year of difference between xbox2 and PS3 launch, it is safe to expect somewhat similar differences (it's a different matter whether the devs care to put that difference to use). It's not as advances in graphics suddenly stopped elsewhere, or started to go along a path that Microsoft is paving when xbox entered the scene.
Or is it just because known PC graphics technology makers are involved in all three.... because you really can't see differences in nVidia GeForceWahoo! and Ati RadeonYowza! PC cards if one of them is running on Intel Zzapp 2GHz and the other on AMD64 Brrooom 4 Ghz?.. at least in screenshots
...or is this all just because PS3 was mentioned, and not xbox2 :?
