Next-Gen Console CPUs Not Up to Hype 783
rAiNsT0rm writes "Anandtech follows up their initial in-depth coverage of the Xbox 360 and PS3 CPU with the real truth about the next-gen consoles' Poor CPU Performance. From the article: "Speaking under conditions of anonymity with real world game developers who have had first hand experience writing code for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 hardware (and dev kits where applicable), we asked them for nothing more than their brutal honesty. What did they think of these new consoles? Are they really outfitted with the PC-eclipsing performance we've been lead to believe they have? The answer is actually quite frequently found in history; as with anything, you get what you pay for."" Update: 06/30 21:11 GMT by Z : The original article disappeared from Anandtech, so I've changed the link to point to the story as hosted by Google Groups.

Are you kidding me? I hope they spend more money than 500 lines of code on the breast jiggle... For my $50 I expect them to hire a top plastic surgeon to describe how the perfect breast should jiggle to the development team and developing a patentable breast-jiggling algorithm!
Dear God man! There are a lot of places in the game that can be skimped on: The story, or the gameplay is fine, but for god's sake, KEEP THE BREAST JIGGLE!
