Red Faction: Guerrilla Dev Says Potential for Better Graphics on PlayStation 3

Developer Jeff Carroll over at Volition has said at their Gamers' Day in San Francisco that their upcoming fiscal 2009 release game, Red Faction: Guerrilla, will be pushing the PlayStation 3's memory and processing power. He beleives that the PlayStation has has the potential to achieve better graphics than the Xbox 360, unlike some *cough*EA*cough* games have done.

Jeff Carroll said: "We've got the PS3 running at a similar frame rate to the 360. We're finding some of the challenges of the PS3 beneficial. We feel like we're doing rather well with the PS3."

"I think potentially you will. I think early on people are going to be struggling to figure out exactly how to make the PS3 work. But I think once they do they will see it's a very powerful system underneath. They both have their advantages. The Xbox 360 pushes polygons rather well, which for us, because everything is destructible, that means that we have a tremendous number of polygons in our game compared to regular games, we see a great benefit with the Xbox 360, but we just learn to optimise in different ways for the PS3."

Look for Red Faction: Guerrilla in THQ's fiscal 2009.
