The potential of the PlayStation 3 continues to be huge, after it was revealed that launch title Resistance: Fall of Man used just 10% of the console's power.
Touted for its incredible visuals, Resistance used only around 10% to 20% of the PS3's SPU. Details were revealed in official documents released by developer Insomniac Games detailing the development process behind Fall of Man.
Unlike certain other companies, Insomniac regularly discuss SPU utilisation, and in the past they have revealed that the process will see major benefits for years to come.
Insomniac's Chief Creative Officer Brian Hastings told Videogamer.com, "The tech and gameplay teams have moved tons of things over to the SPUs that used to run on the PPU. Collision and physics are entirely running on SPUs now, which allows us to put much more on the screen at once than we were able to with Resistance. Moving more and more code to the SPUs is an ongoing process and I think we'll continue to see major benefits from this for several more years."
This news is sure to whet the appetite of gamers already relishing the game's sequel, Resistance 2, which is due to be released in September.
It also bodes well for future games across the board, with many developers yet to tap in to the full power and resources offered by the powerful PS3.

i still play rfom a lot and am looking forward to this sequel loooooooooooads!!! its also probalby the only game that could rival cod4 for online play... i really enjoyin online resistance (shotgun n frag baby) but the online on cod4 has got me hooked...
I got the power! :D
soundz fun.......
OMG 10% RESISTANCE 2 should pack a fu*kin punch. Halo cant compete!
lol if this is ture, which it most likely is, then 360 itself doesnt stand a chance. But i guess most people already figured that out.
damm only 10% and it still looked good imagine Resistance 2!!!!!!!!
psn id: gingo.... the visuals weren't great but they were ok for a release game but the rest of the game was top quality and if that was only 10% i'm scared to think what another 90% added onto that could be
only 10%?it´s perfect...when ps3 use 50% it´s really persons.lol
so how much ps3 power will rfom 2 use? i find it amazing how rfom look's whilst only using 10-20% of ps3 power, this just gets more and more promising for sony and all of us playstation fans!
image 80 % or 100% aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ps3 rules
(((((((((insomniac rules))))))))))
just 10% and it look so wonderful. i wonder how much they going to use for resistance 2
Just imagine what Resistance 3 will look like! My brain will explode!
You better put your helmet on, because Resistance will blow your mind!
if this takes up 10-20% does anyone no how much ratchet and clank used up because that games graphics are amazing???? cant wait for resistance 2
Insomniac ftw.
Then by guesstimate they are using 40%-50% of the PS3's SPU? I am still looking forward to how fast and how well these games are able to push the system.
Impressive,Insomniac FTW!:D
I can't wait for part 2
o_o
may be 2009 reistance 3 will be at 100%
Wasn't something like this posted two days ago or something?
Resistance 10%, Ratchet 20%, Resistance 2 40% !!!!!!!!
These are the kind of developers that deserve respect. They don't make bull sh1t games, and instead of whining like babies about having to adapt to a new system, they actually use it. Resistance 2 looks awesome from those screens. It look like Halo 3, which is awesome graphically. I remember back when it was the original xbox and ps2 good graphics counted as having good anti-aliasing. We've come a long way
10% for a launch title doesn't seem bad at all. Expecially with EA still throwing crap ports at us while the 360 versions run smooth as glass.
resistance looked amazing and at only 10%,ps3 rules, i wonder what uncharted used
sorry to rain on everyone's parade, but the SPU/PPU has nothing to do with the graphics, its the GPU that does the graphics, all this means is that the processor was only using 10% of its power to process physics etc, i don't think this will make THAT much of a difference graphics wise, maybe better physics etc!!!
Resistance 2 = best game ever
This is good news,but just because developers are not using the SPU's to thier full capacity does not mean they the PS3 is using only 10% of the systems power across everything (GPU, memory, CPUs, etc.).
wow amazing potential. Resistance 2 in september. i don't think so. 09' at earliest is realistic...
thats it they got the hardware by the balls now they just need to think of more things to put in the game...........PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT BABY
you spelt wet wrong but 10% then rfom 3 or maybe even 4 will be awesome
Only 10%, i can't stop myself from thinking how much of this power Resistance 2 will utilise.The PS3 is a great console, and i strongly believe that we haven't seen any thing yet on it.
WTF!?!?! 10% and... we get a game like resistance?.... I'm stunned.
I can't wait for devs to better understand the PS3 and it's Cell processor! It's hard to immagine what's achiveable if resistance can be improved 10fold.
wow just 10% can wait to see a game that have 100% hope u can walk in to u TV for 100% game and kill kill kill this is going to be a fun 2008
As gingo said the graphics wern't drop dead amazing but for 10% you can already tell what it could be.... WOW!
