May 17, 2005 - In between furiously posting the latest game information, we had the time to shoot the breeze with a PR representative from a third-party company. The conversation drifted towards the frame rate issues that we've seen while previewing a few Xbox 360 titles. There is no doubt that the level of detail in the trailers is up to next-gen standards, but almost anything in-engine has chugged a bit at one point or another.



When asked about this issue our source replied that the current playable 360 games would all have frame rate issues due to the fact that they are running on alpha units. A rough estimate placed these machines at about one-third as powerful as the 360. We went head-to-head in Top Spin 2 and noticed that there were visible jaggies and a few frame drops. This is because the Alpha units do not run anti-aliasing and simply don't have the power to run a high-res game at full quality. The developers had tuned Top Spin 2 to run at a smooth 60 frames per second but this was simply not possible on the Alpha hardware. We have heard that the final development kits will arrive in July and they promise to look much better.

It is not surprising that many games in early stages would suffer from the types of issues we've seen so far. If the alpha units are underpowered, it is surprising that we haven't heard about this earlier. Knowing that the final products will most definitely run smoother certainly got us more excited about the 360 line-up.
If Microsoft doesn't fix this problem the xbox 360 is gonna follow in the footsteps of the dreamcast. As i recall the dreamcast had the same problems, Look at the games that were released in 1999 and the games that were released in 2001 with the dreamcast there's a big difference.


hmmm dreamcast=flop. so sega=3rd party game manufacturer= sonic for the gamecube
xbox360=flop. so Microsoft's Bungie=3rd party game manufacturer=Halo 4 for the PS3?



the PS ended the Saturn
the PS2 "saturned" the Dreamcast
and now the PS3 will "Dreamcast" the 360!

face it, microsoft will stick with what they know, and that is computers...they had a nice run with halo...but it ends there :S

nintendo will make a run back here if they do the full release of what they plan, but will be majority older gamers and won't have much new stuff

leaving sony left standing...period.

What do you base this opinion on, because its your opinion, because you cannot state a fact if neither system is even out yet <_<

well ur all dumb nerds. out of the xbox and the ps2 which 1 had framerate issues if ne? the ps2. xbox never had framerate issues kids. so why do you suddenly think that xbox 260 will have framerate issues and the ps3 wont? r u stupid my son? the tech specs for each console may be different but as all u nerds r 2 stupid 2 understand any of it, you shd hush. the graphics, framerate, processing speed, etc will be the bloody same to you, you wont be able to tell the difference ;/ so stop ****in moaning about which 1 is better stupid nerds and wait til the consoles are ****in out til u start comparin and since that wont be until 2006-2007. close this topic unitil then ;/

ino, xbox360 will own it. Your talking about mircosoft making this, not sega. Microsoft has a ton of money to dish out to make this, a hell of a lot more than Sony, and also has better technolegy to work with.

ps3 will be way better than 360 :S 360 is ****, theyre already discussing a recall. 360 scratches and destroys CDs. ps3 will have way better graphics, not to mention the ps3 wiill have over 100+ games for it than the 360.
