There's a lot of misinformation and exaggeration out there about Ghostbusters. I played it from start to finish on PS3 and it was FINE. The only difference I even noticed that was shown in comparisons was the lack of burning embers in the textures on walls when you shot them with the proton pack. The only 2 really bad port jobs were The Orange Box and Bayonetta. Everything else deemed "inferior on PS3" is minimal at worst, and often unnoticeable.

I haven't read the article yet, but what I want to know is, why is there a picture of Suda51?

Muderdolls aren't you tried of being an idiot over and over

And didn't they fix Bayonetta? I wouldn't know from experience because I burned out on Devil May Cry last generation. So I will never own Bayonetta.

I wonder if using PS3 as the lead platform means that the devs will get too carried away with all the extra play room, and end up compressing certain areas for the DVD guys.

well guys how about you just stop giving him the attention he clearly wants ?
Just disagree away and let him sink on his own .

In other words, expect a superior PS3 version and sh!tty 360 version.

I own it and I still play it to this day.
Team Fortress is still going strong.

I bought the game a year ago when I bought my PS3, so I assume it was patch-fixed long ago.

Alot of people don't seem to know that, so I thought I'd throw that out there.

this article is talking about Shinji Mikami, yet they have an image of Goichi Suda... (-_-)

But, I guess to cvg, all asians look alike right? And since we're americans, we couldn't possibly tell the difference... right? /ssssss (-_-)

Dumbass.... He don't feel bad for PS3 owners. He just doesn't want his game to look bad for the ps3 owners! he seen how platinum games F#@Ked up, so obviously he doesn't want to go that route.

feels sorry for us?!... Hahahha! Me & Kratos are laughing @ you right now.

@Army

GoW3 is mindblowing. MAG + GoW3 is gaming heaven for me. What a way to start off this year.

@Persistant

I have the Orange Box

Beat HL2, HL2:Ep1, some framerate drops here and there but games are absolutely playable.

Gave Portal a try, and it was running OK. Havent finished yet. Haven't touched HL2:Ep2. Unless some major slowdowns happen in Portal and Ep2 I would say the Orange Box is quite playable.

Yeah porting to the PS3 from the 360 seems the hardest way to do it but it makes a better looking game at least for PS3. 360 is a lot easier to develop for still for a lot of devs as they still getting used to PS3. *simples*

Everytime that Muderdardolls take a comment, he gets Owned very bad by many users, why is that?

I doubt he feels sorry for PS3 owners. It'll be more like he's seen PS3 owners not bother with shoddy workmanship and wants to ensure they don't alienate what is a very large market.

i feel bad for 360 getting the port..... ff13

Now the 360 owners will have to man up and buy the shytty ports. Either that or find something else to buy. Song like a great idea to me. Your thoughts?

Multi platforms are the worst way to compare consoles anyway... The main goal of any developer on a multiplatform is to have the game be as identical as possible on both platforms while still looking attractive.
This really has nothing to do with one console being better than another one, or being more difficult to code for. Coding difficulty for the ps3 does not expand beyond lack of understanding the hardware you are using. The biggest hurdle there is the difference in the hardware. Optimizing completely for the 360 causes problems when porting to the ps3 because you can't approach the same tasks the same way. It is the same for both sides. Traditionally what seems to happen is this. The devs are already used to the x360, they had a year head start with it. So they lead develop on it, thinking we will just port to ps3 no problem. They optimize the crap out of the 360, and then when they get to the ps3, they find out just how dissimilar the hardware and architecture is and so they have a few options, 1) push out a crummy ps3 port, 2) extend the release date by a fair margin and work feverishly to try to figure out how to rig the ps3 port to obtain similar enough performance, 3) make cut backs on the 360.

I think we have seen all three of these scenarios before.

In this article the dev is indicating that since they know their way around the 360 well enough, it would be best to develop on the ps3, because as they are developing on the ps3 and optimizing, they will be cautious and mindful of how that is going to affect the port to the 360. Making sure that for everything they optimize specific to the ps3 hardware, they need to know a way to optimize for the 360 as well.

Its smart programming. It doesn't mean one is better or more powerful.

The side effect however is that generally the ported game is always going to be at best a little less shiny than the lead. However, just remember this means nothing other than that there are definite hardware differences in between the two platforms.

sorry for writing a book, hope its legible.. Hope people will understand this some day.. I'm tired of the flames and bickering about multiplat comparisons because they honestly tell us nothing about console strength.

If I did not know any better I would say that Murder Dolls is another one of Bungie's account. I would say that his posts shares similarities.

Back on topic I think this was a obvious choice to make the PS3 as lead platform. Poor ports can have a negative impact on sales if it's not done correctly. That way at least everyone should be happy.

More like the developers are noticing the power of the PS3 and how easy it is to put on a powerless machine like the xbox.Like bayonetta its like playing a downgraded version for the ps3 because the xbox cant handle what the game is suppose to look like.Good job loser.

Haha it seems I upset quite a few people with that one.

You let your lover Murderdolls post whatever he want. He must give some GREAT dome.

Yeah the shaft sucks something fierce...

/s
(obviously)

they get the better version,not some crappy port.

Their level of upset is directly proportional to your level of stupidity.

Why do you guys let this troll piss you off? He's just mad because 1)He doesn't get GOW3 and 2)He has to play the low res blurry version of FF13(the crappiest port due to sheer hardware performance factors ever in gaming)

On topic: All 360 lead games port over the compression to the PS3 version. PS3 was designed specifically to use no compression, so naturally the compressed ports look bad! When PS3 is the lead platform, the game remains uncompressed on PS3 and then the compression is done for the 360 version. That is why both consoles perform better when PS3 leads!
