If you need any proof that Sony's PlayStation 3 has some life left in it, just ask Resistance developer Insomniac. The studio likens the console's current standing to the height of the PlayStation 2, where it saw a tipping point of quality as coders got to grips with the hardware.
"I think it does [have more to give]," said senior designer Cameron Christian. "Each year we're finding better ways to optimise and different ways to program for it. Being more efficient, figuring out new tricks to get better looking graphics... we can keep pushing that I think."
Writer Jon Paquette agrees. "You remember when the PS2 first came out? The games that came out at the end of that cycle, when people got better at using the hardware, improved. So I think there's still a lot of life in there. I feel like if there's too much console rollover then it makes it harder for us to become experts at the console and take full advantage of it."
It certainly seems like we're just scraping the surface of the visual and audio capabilities of this generation of consoles. What do you reckon?
