Developers still complain over learning curve on PS3

PS3Addiction.com writes:
"It is not unknown that development on the Playstation 3 system is vastly different than that of previous consoles, or the 360 for that matter. This fact has long been known, and has made for some horrific port attempts in the early stages of life for the console. With the Playstation 3 sporting the 'Cell' processor, one of today's modern marvels, developers seemed to have a tough time wrapping there head around it, and with games on a strict time limit for development, the matter only worsens."

the only ones who are complaining are people who are using UE3 on it, not to mention developing on the 360 as lead at the same time, they have been told time and time again to develop on the PS3 first. but they refuse. these are the consequences. we are 2 years and 3 months into the system's lifecycle. This is unacceptable at this point.

“The politically incorrect answer is that the PS3 is a huge pain in the ass. Anyone making a game, if you’re going to make it for both [360 and PS3], just lead on the PS3 because if it works on the PS3 it’ll work on 360.”

Good for that guy to realize that he is an idiot and that from now on he will develop on PS3 first when his games are multiplatform.

I agree mate. If Gorilla Games can make a game like KZ2 in 3.2years while also building a new engine and created such a technical master piece then i believe the poor devs that are complaining just plain suck.

That excuse has long been demolished and i for one will not be buying anything that runs and plays like a turd. In these times games cost lots of doe, i'm talking $100 Australian doe and i can honestly say that after experiencing the Killzone2 demo alone, i will only be buying Sony first party games unless a third party game has the amount of technical achievements of games like Uncharted, Heavenly Sword and Killzone2.

Oh by the way, I just picked up my copy of Killzone2 and i will be destroying the rest of you Vekta scums on the battle field.

other446288d ago

surely games like KZ2, Uncharted 1 & 2, R2 etc can shut these whiney dorks up!

Droid Control6288d ago

... Just to make a game?

Sony admitted themselves that the software side of the company go screwed by the hardware side. Those guys built the PS3 without ANY thought for the coders!

Boty6288d ago (Edited 6288d ago )

Same reason a construction worker has to go through Hell to build a new building.

ITS THIER JOBS YOU STUPID MORON! And we pay them to do a good job. Not to give us a crapy version of a game that only works on the other console.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle17d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde24d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy24d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga25d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199225d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga25d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman24d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box25d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion24d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7225d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7525d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit25d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14925d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7725d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
