Secret Ponchos Developer Explains The Difference Between PS4 And PC Games Development

"It's often been stated that developing for the PlayStation 4 is easy. It's also been stated that porting PC code to the PlayStation 4 is easier than, say, porting the same to the PlayStation 3."

Cool idea using the share button like this "PS4 development is pretty cool for devs because of things like the Share feature…It’s great when you have a bug and you press a button and it captures the footage, although it’s a feature for players, we use it a lot as a dev tool. I like being able to run the game on my dev kit and have my computer I’m animating on running at full speed."

Thats pretty cool and I thought the feature was only for the gamers.

rivencleft4349d ago

That IS a pretty neat feature for a dev, it's cool to see how people utilize different features.

That article didn't provide the kind of information the headline seemed to promise.

What's cool about PC development? Taking your laptop to the coffee shop.
What's cool about PS4 development? The share button

Yes, I pretty much did spoil the entire article! :P

IamHaru4349d ago

I thought the major point was with the PS4 (or any console), there is a common set of hardware with which you can work to optimize towards. With PC development, you have to consider performance across different specs.

uth114349d ago

correct, that's common knowledge. I'd expect a dev to give something deeper.

Hey UTH11! My name is Yousuf, I'm the Dev in the article. Just wanted to say thanks for the comment, and you're absolutely right a comparison between development platforms is an interesting topic, I would have loved to provide a deeper insight. To give perspective the reason it so lightly skims the surface is that this answer was one of many questions in a longer interview about a range of subjects. It would be great to see an entire interview focused around it, to take it into more depth, especially how we tackled different challenges. One day in the future perhaps

Take care - Yousuf Mapara

I use the share feature like crazy on games I usually want to quick screenshot or share on twitter, pretty cool feature, though I haven't done any twitch steaming or any steaming for that matter.

Switchblade Monkeys' Secret Ponchos didn't have the success on PS4 that the developer had hoped for, even after giving it away as a freebie with PS Plus. The developers talk working with Sony, development of the PC version and the possibility of cross-play between the PS4 and PC versions of the spaghetti western.

I hope the cross play is true becouse i loved this game i even bought the dlc

himdeel3831d ago

I need to give this game another chance. It just didn't grab me after my first few games.

chrish19903831d ago

The lack of an in-depth tutorial and bot mode probably didn't help. I think they actually added both to PC release.

TFJWM3831d ago

Ya it is a little tough at the start to figure it out but once you do its really a solid little game

Tried back this game 3 weeks ago. Could not find any online matches. Waited for a good 15 minutes.
