Cliffy B was right..Sony & buthurt = epic false.
update #3
Insider: "Every body's going to see this time... I think the fanboy's don't get it Ms has invested in the 360.. Its going to be around for another 3 / 4 years... The new unreal engine is real. And it runs on 360 and has for well over 1 year. Dice were smart to design BF3 on a new engine. Epic has been very open about the power unreal 3.5 has well behind closed doors.. I will make one thing clear tho this is not UNREAL 4 no it is only 3.5.
Kindom's is also running on a highly updated cry engine 3 "3.5"
you get the drift that we are going to see a refresh in Graphics on these older console. Only because the company's don't want to jump right in to unreal 4 / frostbite 3
So via implementing new stream processors and gpgpu compute processing it is possible to highly optimize for the console. This has not been done before well in some ways it was done with ps2 gow and xbox conker and such. And those games were better then ps3 and xbox360 first cycle games. The same is what were seeing here. The company's need to return a profit and this way they can. Sony can't sell a new ps4.. Nintendo don't want to sell wii2 and Ms are happy to push Kinect. It is the xbox560 and ps 550.
If you take a look back at history you can see that doom 3 couldn't run on nvidia and ati cards that were obsolete even at its release ... but home consoles like xbox could produce the same quality as a pc on less hardware.. Why because the hardware was specialized. Time was taken to optimize for that hardware set... Now a days people think that pc is superior in every degree.. Well one degree it will never be is "OPTIMIZATION"
No game is set optimized it is only scaled across a set amount of hardware in the pc domain nvidia pay for developers to implement optimization on some cards but its never to the same degree a console will be. If pc are so powerful then way is the 360/ and ps3 hardware labeld as inferior to pc ... A pc in theoretic terms could have stayed back in 1600hd cards or nivida gtx8800 and only had dual core cpus and 512mb of ram. But time and time again the 360 /ps3 have stayed @ the same lod as pc. But only low level optimizations have been implemented on the console till now. Pc will all ways be above in the Display resolution. What will happen next gen when we have 8gig console with 4 gpus and 16 cpus 40 threads... Will we see the death of pc will the tables turn no, its always going to be smoke and mirrors. Enough of my developer mind aggression. "

Me: Eahh..i know all this..as i develop 3d gfx back to 2002.
i have a tremendouse activity to this article. you are the man. you are the one who get xbox 360 fans hight with your info. and now we slap sonyfans right in their faces..a preparation before e3..
ohh..they failed to aprove.
the article was aproved only for 1,5 hours
Insider:I ant worried about it... I want to see the faces come e3.. Ms have to bring it this year they know that we all know that. no body's going to jumpship we have all worked on this tech so we know what can be achieved its only really now that MS are investing the money to push the graphic's .... As they know they can take that from sony as well this year... When they show it the uncharted killzone debate will be over.. What else can they say hey that blu ray has more space I don't see all that space effecting the pc platform. I don't thing any body really cares about blu ray but Sony.. As it is a selling point of there product... But WHO cares. It's good for moves that's about it. The day 360 hit 50million I think the game developers stopped care. Only the Japaneses will because it keeps jobs. But you don't here manny western developers screaming at the top of there lungs form the top of there campt builds. "The world is doomed because pc/360 don't have there games on blu ray". More smoke and mirrors... Like I heard all The Sony suits but tough I wonder if they really played Killzone 3 with move with 3d glasses. Nope I didn't thinks so because it didn't work well with move. Kinect on the other hands is surposed to be last gen tech and not beable to work but for some reason it sell like hot cakes people are smiling ear to er after playing it. I guess it broken tech well that would be what sony would have you believe. Smoke and Mirrors
Every body is laughing behind closed doors at n4g, that is in the industry. Only because they know Sony is dam good at marketing hype. you wont get Manny articles up on ng4 when it comes to 360 that is just the way it is come e3.
If Nintendo do announce wii 2 at e3 all announcements will be off the table, as Ms will bring forward the plan's no one and I do mean no one knows if Nintendo will move forward this e3 will have to wait and see this is thought all through out the industry while games are in development no body has the eta \>

In regards to your unreal 3.5 question is the engine available for xbox360 yes. I still need to clear this up before a shit storm hit the internet. Remember tho the footage was running on pc hardware "unoptimized" at gdc. Nvidia also payed a large sum of money and sent test rigs for demo purpose. But it was also shown on xbox platform behind closed doors. While l.o.d was not as high as the pc counterpart it was real time. And It still looked amazing, and none the less proved that the 360 can compete against the exclusive games that Sony's first party studios have been putting out well into this generation cycle.
Just an update!!
The 360 will not be able to produce the same quality at higher rez
It will be able to get closes tho at 720p "1280/720..
The engine can scale... And scale well... But the lighting and shader effects will not be on par with the high Pc quality. Every body is going to have to wait till e3 for more information. As it must come from Epic and MS it is there show stopper.
"This engine is scalable" For this gen and future console cycles...
And every fanboy or console enthusiast should put there love hate for ether platform aside.. e3 is going to be an evolution.
