Re: PS3 Demos Fake

if they're not fakes then computers can play those games now.. where as they are claiming that both the xbox and ps3 will be able to play them maybe 1 year from now. Question is ..will any of these games make it to a pc in the future?? Well, they (PCs) probably can play them now, in terms of having the hardware. It'd just cost you a big wodge of money, and you'd need to overcome the handicap of (for example) having a game written for a single core, single card system running on your system with, say, multiple GPUs and CPUs (and probably the devkits don't use a full windows or Linus Os but some cutdown version approximating that on the actual console). I wouldn't say it was impossible for a Pc to have, say, graphics of the Killzone demo (IMO that was pre-rendedered anyways); but it would be financially infeasible. My expectation would be to see more Xbox360 than Ps3 games make it onto PC, though. I think anything built upon the Unreal3 engine will make it onto all 3 formats (PC, X360, PS3) in particular, as I imagine they'll take steps to make that engine as portable as possible (to make more money).
