Vanquish being built on PS3 first to avoid a dodgy port

That’s purely down to the Blu-Ray drive not being fast enough though, surely?

I wouldn’t call the PS3 ‘badly designed’, just ‘unnecessarily different’. PC architecture has evolved to be pretty simple for a very good reason.

But I completely disagree with your assumption that different console architectures lead to more interesting games, Hindle. Without that learning curve developers would have tons more time to put into the actual games rather than fighting to learn new ways of doing the same stuff.

“I wouldn’t call the PS3 ‘badly designed’, just ‘unnecessarily different’.”

Same difference. It’s difference for difference’s sake.

Tomonobu Itagaki reckons the SNES was harder to develop for than the PS3 though.

I personally wouldnt want all the consoles to be designed the same way as all the exclusives would start to look the same. Uncharted 2 looks like it does because of the Cell and Blue Ray.

Left 4 Dead is so bloody good because of the 360s online design. Mario Galaxy and Wii sports are so dam fun because it makes full use of the Wiis strengths.

It may be a good idea if they were but id say it would be really bad for games in general. The install is something the 360 can do as well and ive never had a problem with it.

The SNES was a product of its time, though. These days we have standard ways of doing stuff, there’s no need to keep reinventing the wheel for the sake of it.

O’Connor I swear you are the most ignorant fucker to ever post on this site next to BDH. STFU or I will rip your ass a new one. I’m tired of your shit. You don’t like peoples opinions well just ignore them, stop quoting every fucking body.

Go to your site O’Connor and harass the people there….oh sorry you don’t get any visitors at that shit site. Do us all a favor and leave like psychotext.

Yep, its more of a bugger to develop for than the others. But the end product on some of the games that take full advantage of it, is absolutely worth it, and look better than anything else.

Having said that though, they are mainly Sony games. So if Sony helped out third parties more, they would get better results.

You are a very dark-coloured pot calling an extremely clean kettle black, my good man. *shakes his head and laughs*

Ignore button NOW, please!

@57
Sony have extended their hands to third parties to offer help.
It’s up to those third parties to take up the offer.

O’Connor [...] STFU or I will rip your ass a new one.

I wonder how you’re going to do that ^^

To O’Connor : Gabe Newell thought that Sony deliberatly designed the PS3 so that the code written for that platform wouldn’t work well anywhere else. The strategy for Sony was that since they were the leaders, they could force everybody to develop for their console, having developers spending most of their R&D budget on PS3 programming, leaving little room for R&D on programming for other consoles.

So, probably not for the sake of being different, but for the sake of gaining a strategic advantage (that as in fact turned against them).

(By the way, that comment was made before the PS3 came out, so Gabe didn’t know at that time that it wouldn’t perform that well at first)

Oh well…another game site’s forums destroyed by PS3 fanboys. The animosity and name calling towards others who disagree is beyond childish.
And to actually think that my comment was thought of as an O’Connor alternate account just shows the delusion of PS3 fanboys…jeez!

@62
I love how you only blame PS3 fanboys.
There have been plenty of examples of 360 fanboys doing their very best to ruin things as well you know?

A lot of us are sensible and like to actually have a discussion. So, don’t tar us all with the same brush.

Now Ladies, there are all types of fan-bois, no need to fight about which is worse they are all too ignorant to realize that it is in fact the PC that is the greatest Mwuahahahaha

PS, No seriously, it’s all about the PC
