GoW2 Producer Talks about Used Xbox360 Potential Posted by XanTium | August 29 23:46 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From gamasutra.com: [QUOTE] Gamasutra: We're getting a few years into the Xbox 360 lifespan experience; where do you think we are, technologically, in terms of the potential of the system, this generation? * Rod Fergusson: That's a good question. I mean, I'm not the technical guy, so my ability to speak to where the engine goes is -- all I know is that with the two to three more years of optimization that we've had, we're much further along than I think, three years ago, we thought we were going to get. So I think we're certainly approaching the upper end of it, as far as what developers are able to do with it, but just looking at all the demos we saw today -- ours and others -- it's clear that all the games just keep improving, and keep pushing that bar. I think it's just a matter of, you know, it's a slow cycle; you only get a kick at it every couple years, and so it takes a while for people to see that progress. There will be games in development that won't ship until 2010, and I'm sure they'll look killer, just because, again, they'll have more time with it, and learn from mistakes and optimizations of others. So, I don't know; I think we're getting up there, but I still think there's room to grow. [/QUOTE] Full Story: gamasutra.com (6 pages)

Nice shifty answers. Its close to max, but the games will get better. I guess we shouldn't expect more from a producer, I mean he is using how a demo looks to tell if the systems limits have been reached
