I think the Emotion Engine is a Great CPU,you can do a lot of things simultaneously...you can implement various kinds of AA,multi pass-techniques,bump mapping(Naughty Dog said that they\'re going to implement a bump-mapping engine,environment mapping and 8 pass techniques via software(obviously:) ) in their next game...) but I\'m not so sure PS2 can reach the same quality of these effects on the X-Box...and we have to consider that everything we implement via software take a greater hit in performance compared to what we whould have achieved via hardware...

let\'s wait and see...

Yes it can do it, but the CPU will take a hit.
