Aces High on Smart Phones?

[Tyrannis]

i hate to say this PS3 fanboys but looking at the spec sheets for PS3 and Xbox 360 , the 360 actually comes in with a better spec. Mostly down to the CPu (which is AMD ) and the GC (which is ATI) that were deigned from the ground up to work together. The Gigabite MB that comes custom made for the Xbox.   A good comparison is the graphics between cross platform games such as  fall out 3 which looks it's best on PC ( no surprise)  but closely followed by the 360 which had a longer depth of field (approx 4 mile) with out the use of fogging while still holding a steady 60fps . The 360 also had better reflections and shading while also benefiting  from crisper edges and deeper colours .
          The PS3 version had less detailed textures , no  true reflections in the water  and only a 1.5 mile depth before the horizon "fog" obscured the view. Ps3 version also suffers with choppy frame rate in times of intense battle , washed out colour pallets , less smooth textures and lines . PS3 suffers from being Blueray  disc instead of HDDVD . Blueray actually stores less information per disc for games due  to the huge memory demands made . This emplanes the downgrade in graphics  and smaller size of the maps compared to the Xbox and PC  versions.  PS3 also has a bigger heat and noise issues of it's own .  That's not just my experience but also reported by places such as gamespot

using multi-platform games to compare graphics between two consoles isent possable, as ive allready stated, most game companies will just design the game on the easiest console than just simply port it to the other console without improving the graphics to meet what that other console is capable of. you'd have to compare the graphics of exclusives. so compare halo3/reach to killzone 2. compare gears to resistance 1-2. compare forza to gran turismo 5. compare any of them towards uncharted 2. and you can see where the ps3's graphics outshine 360s. many famous gaming producers have flat-out said the ps3 is the better console. examples would be infinity ward,DICE, MAG,and even the creators of half-life have said the ps3 is superior to the 360. combined with all the other features the ps3 has over the 360 the only reason to get a 360 over ps3 is simply price.otherwise your just falling for microsofts false advertising claims.

 cross platform  is a very good way of comparing  consoles and PC's .    Games have to be re-written for each platform  and modified to suit. This shows where the powers lay. The PS3 is not that AWESOME. Most of the exclusives titles look good but are much shorter or less detailed than Xbox 360 and PC exclusive titles due the resource drain . A good example of this is GT5 . nice looking but it is poor  physics model for all the cars because they use a generic model then change small details for each car .   TBH I believe forza 3 looks just as good as GT5  and the car physics are better too.   

         I can't think of any "features" that the PS3 has that X box does not , apart form the blueray . But then i can get a Xbox for £140 and a blueray for less than £100 (with  7.1 surround sound)  . If i want kenetic for 360 then it would cost me £230 with console and 3 games  . so i would have blueray player and console  for £310 and a PS3 will cost me £299.99 (with one game ) + £150 for the  Sony version with the big blue ball thing . I don't think any one system is more "awesome" than any other but i do think the PS3 is way over priced for what it is .  A recent review in What HiFi that did a blue ray test said that the PS3 was not good as a blueray player  and that a cheaper £50 player was better quality .    PS3 is better for developers as they would not have to deal with Microsoft  for publishing. technically they are of the same generation (the PS3 was held back for almost a year due to "technical difficulties"  .   I looked all this up before I parted with my cash .

like ive stated, i had 2 360s, both died of RROD. getting the ps3 was best gaming decision ive ever made.

what i find funny is how much spotlight "kinnect" is getting, sony was in the motion control buisness way before xbox or even nintendo was with the ps2 eyetoy. and ps3 beat all other gaming consoles to the market with motion control with the playstation eye.

everyone has there opinion, but until youve owned both(or all three) consoles yourself, then you dont have a right to say "this ones better, no this one is!".

Doesn't seem likely, but who knows some day? Just loaded X Plane on my Motorola Droid X. Not much to it, but it is kinda fun. Six-axis controller on Droid X as on PlayStation 3. Pricey at $10 (most smart phone applications are free or around $5). 

Wouldn't hurt for Aces High to investigate this market. Smart phones seem destined to rule the world along with home computer big screen and full size keyboard base stations.

Might be better if Hitech Creations, Inc. offered, in addition to AH, a different, similar, slightly simpler game specifically for Smart Phones, e.g. Combat Patrol, or something similar, and leave AH in its current configuration.

rly? cus my ps3 is the $700 limited edition black 160gb ps3. thats alot more than xbox costs, xbox is more of the poor peoples gaming console. ps3 has voice chat/voice message,netflix(Was the first out of all console to get it) and hulu. and a web browser, which crapbox doesnt. plus ps3 has HOME. which is alot funner "charcter cusomization" than xbox live has. on live you just have a little dude who u dress up and shows on your pro card, cant do anything else with him. on psn HOME, the games like a mix between the sims&second life. you can take your avatar on there and play psn exclusive games,chat with ppl, buy house cloths etc. alot more customization than live gives you.and no. its not "worth it". you pay live to get the online options you'd be getting free with the ps3 and the web browser, wanna watch videos on youtube? or serf the internet? just open the web browser. its free and has alot more access than live gives you.

Oh yeah? i can just take my iphone and watch youtube or search the webbrowser at the same time i'm playing...
You can just like your ''PS3 Live'' but i think it doesn't improve the functions of the ps3...
Google: Ps3 Specs and thereafter: Xbox 360 specs...
Then compare it... you will see...
Other reasons:
The xbox 360 controller is much finer than the ps 3 has but only the arrow keys are CR@P
If you get a new hard drive, or you want to replace one, at the ps3 you have to unscrew things before you can do that, and at the xbox 360 you just click ONE simple small button *click* and you can just replace/place your hard drive.
AND it doesn't matter if the ps3 has more GB Ram in my opinion, it's too much... what you want to do with all those disk space?
AND, the PS3 IS actually for poor poeple... You know why? i buyed an iphone 4 and a freakin' super computer with 3 monitors, ATI Radeon 5790HD, Intel core i7, and a freakin' one terrabyte disk drive (1 terrabyte isn't too big for a computer...i download lots of movies and buy lots of very big games) and i just spended for all of this more than a thousand dollars... if i would buy a ps3, i would have only $500 in reserve only buying a new processor... i don't want to start a war with you or something, i just declare my opinion what the xbox 360 does and the ps3 hasn't and what you can get if you buy only an xbox 360.

Time to end this discussion.
Best Console of all time:



also, if you don't like that, try this one really fun game. It's called RL, it's in 3D without using any special technology, the sound system is PERFECT, you never have to wait for lazy developers to patch mistakes they should have made before it was shipped, best of all, IT'S FREE.

also, they are coming out with a sequel
