[QUOTE="Biff, post: 42655, member: 1252"] Transparency by itself ain't a special task for the ps3 & xbox hardware. It's all about the code. TPA simply isn't a real PS3 game, it feels like a ported game. The TPA engine is not properly optimized for the PS3. A lot of devs from different companies complain that working on the ps3 is very complicated. Yet developing on the xbox is easier and way closer to the pc. Some companies know how to get the most out of the PS3. For example the Naughty Dog Studios. But they work closely together with Sony. Every game on every platform can be awful, if the code isn't properly optimized for the specific platform. Zen 1 & 2 both are 720p games. When you start a Zen Pinball, your monitor automatically switches to 720p. Some Monitors show this information on the screen. Lower resolutions require less cpu/gpu power. That also gives you more frames per second. But as we all know Zen Games look great! Because they use optimized graphics for 720p. (By the way, Zen doesn't emulate old stuff) A lot of triple A games use 720p on the ps3. [/QUOTE]
