Ninja Theory Clarifies Concerns on PS3 DmC Development

Bit sad to be fair ps3 is four years old and people are still not used to it while devs like ND made uncharted 2 in 18mnths and we know it wont be as sophisticated technically

Godmars2905627d ago (Edited 5627d ago )

Its sad that a launch title dev is still complaining about PS3 development four years after the fact. With examples like ND, Insomniac and Criterion, who have even done perfect multi-ports.

Never mind that these guys are using an old established engine, likely for all the complaining wont turn out something major or innovative in terms of gameplay.

visualb5627d ago (Edited 5627d ago )

developers have been able to take the best out of PS3, including Platinum games (this time around) so any excuse that its too hard to develop for, or problematic, or too complex, its the developers fault.

remember, a bad carpenter always blames his tools, and a bad artist always blames his paints.

what scares me is that, they are already doing damage control, yet no game has been shown =|

I wouldn't mind if it was another company who hadn't had much experience with the PS3 or who had limited experience (1 or 2 multiplatform games), but Ninja Theory created a beautiful exclusive in heavenly sword. It was gorgeous. It ran great and I really didn't notice screen tearing. Now, I know multiplatform development is different but with the experience they had and since they are creating the game simultaneously on both systems, I would have not expected this type of issue popping up with regards to Enslaved.

But now with DMC, it just makes you wonder. O_o
Hopefully it's not the case. Still, they have to convince the gaming community that the K.D. Lang version of Dante is going to be "cool."

blahblah5626d ago (Edited 5626d ago )

fuck, I hit agree by mistake, now i need to clarify

yes, i'm coding for life and i can tell you most coders are lazy. something has to become really, really needed to step into it and it helps if their lives depend on it.

i remember how lazy adoption of xml was in commercial desktop software. all the people i knew were using old and clumsy approach (either database or some binary file) few years after it was starting to get wide adoption. no matter how much time i wasted to explain why xml makes life easier, i couldn't persuade single friend of mine. but when country adopted xml as prefered interchange format for those applications they all moved on. funny thing is... one needed only few hours to get into xml logic, but they were still too lazy to make that step. everyone simply asked same thing... will it sell more for that?

same is with ps3 and its pipelined SPE approach (as far as optimizations go i doubt i can remember one single thing in computing which allows as much optimizing). except this is not few hours tour. one completely needs to adapt his thinking into completely different logic.

i was coding on ps3 linux (just few math apps) while it still existed, so my extent of ps3 knowledge is far from great... but... with every little thing i realized i always got enormous boost. you just have to forget most standard approaches. things like ordinary sync threads for example work piss poor when used in standard wrong manner (pc arch is so much more forgiving, but at the same time way more unreliable for optimizations)

mastiffchild5626d ago

I like a lot of the guys work(Dante redesign is shit, mind)and thought HS was vastly under rated but the fact is that NT are sore about the lack of profit from HS to this day and shouldn't be when Sony basically saved their arses. It had started as, IIRC, an Xbox game that they spunked the advance for and was near death when Sony came in and allowed them to break even. Maybe if there'd been a better amount of PS3 buyers at launch everything would have been fine and their margins would have been bigger but he cannot deny the mismanagement that left them in a mess in the first place.

My best guess is that they still feel bad about losing the IP for HS but had they not been propped up by Sony(who rightly wanted something in return)then maybe we wouldn't be talking about them as a going concern today. I've plenty of time for NT but do feel they have a sore point about Sony when it's basically all their fault.

Trroy5626d ago (Edited 5626d ago )

Yes, developers are "lazy". What that really means is that the businessmen who run development houses don't *like* to have to pay engineers out of their budget, if they can avoid it, because they're expensive.

Hence... middleware. Like Unreal. Hence, bad ports. Like many 360->PS3 quick-n-dirty jobs.

The PS3, pound-for-pound, kicks the 360s arse. Dollar-for-dollar, however, many devs think the 360 is superior. If you see a good PS3 port, its the result of (A) experience on the engineers part -- from a past title which not all game engineers have, especially on the PS3, (B) investment on the part of the developer and publisher, or (C) brilliance on the part of the developer, who goes out of their way to embrace the powerful architecture the PS3 offers (case-in-point -- 1st shipped implementation of MLAA found in The Saboteur, which was a 3rd party multiplat game).

The PS3 is a superior architecture, techincally. The question is, is it superior _economically_, if you're making a multiplat?

More and more devs will work harder and harder to please their PS3 fanbase, as the PS3 fanbase grows, plain and simple.

I dislike the changes, but I will hold my complete opinion until we see the result through gameplay and storyline concepts.

As far as Ninja Theory... As a company they come off as extremely arrogant. They have some great motion capturing technology at their hands, but the way they bear themselves and their company leaves me thinking that when they and SCE had issues, it was because they wanted more than they deserved. I don't know, but they don't come off as the company that is grateful for Sony keeping them afloat considering everyone thought they were going to close and go out of business until Sony stepped in.

Either way, Ninja Theory, why don't you take some time to learn from exclusive developers like Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, and Guerilla Games. People you would freely be able to work with and share ideas with if you hadn't been the one current generation exclusive title creator who had problems with Sony (just saying, seems weird that everyone else loves Sony but you).

Christopher5627d ago

***Wanted more than they deserve? What the hell is that suppose to mean? They made the god damn game not Sony.***

It means they weren't happy being a quality exclusive developer when it was Sony who pulled their asses from being unemployed and no longer existent. They got another chance and then they complain when they wasted their budget on their first title and didn't make any profit off of it because of how overboard they went with it.

mrcash5626d ago

I'm sure they have their reasons. It's all business, maybe they don't have the time to learn from ND GG or whoever because they are soo busy trying to make more money. Whatever it is, it's obviously not stoping them from making great games.

Ju5624d ago

Well, I agree with cgoodno. I get the feeling they are great artists and screen writers, but they lack the respect for the technology they are working with. As such, I think there is a disconnect between how they do things from a technological and focus on the artistic perspective instead. That's alright. But they seam to forget, technology is part of what they do and also requires certain investments to succeed. It is a mindset which is hard to grasp if you are not willing to accept that. Shortcutting it and using a "standard solution" (e.g. UE3) will not work. Sooner or later they will have to customize even that solution to fulfill their own artistic vision since no off the shelf middle-ware ever gives you that. They just will learn that the hard way (again).

He is fully aware of the comments he give would garner sensationalist headlines. Have you noticed this guy ALWAYS, have to clarify his statements only leaving us asking more?

I can only suspect he really, TRULY hates the PS3. Here are my reasons:

1. 1.5 million copies on HS is underwhelming.

2. Brilliant engine on HS (released only A YEAR after the PS3's entrance) and yet made no modifications for it to be utilized for their current game, Enslaved.

3. Tries to manipulate the media to hype up his game's visuals and animations to compare to Uncharted 2 (even though it never touched the original Uncharted) and then "clarifies" this is NOT the case. And then further advocates he is considers ND the "best" devs.

4. Early reviews indicate that the PS3 has a lot more issues than the 360 version of this game (EG may confirm this), especially when a reviewer stated that one of the cut-scenes rendered Monkey "invisible". (GamesRader review). Even Rocksteady (Batman: AA) somehow with less experience on the PS3 manages to get it multi-plats right.... THE FIRST TIME.

5. No credit to HS as inspiration or anything of the sort. As if the game never existed in their lives.

6. Giving out heated subjects by claming the PS3's harder without ever clarifying his statements. It always HAS to be after a full flame debate on forums before he responds.

7. And he's not making life any better with his new "concept" of DMC. Saying it's "cooler" than the previous Dante. This may have nothing to do with the PS3 in general, but let's face it.. the franchise started on the PS2.

In his defense I think engine for Heavenly Sword is a propriety Sony engine. Sony funded the development of that ip and I believe is the sole owner of the engine and the source code.

darksied5626d ago

It doesn't have to be because he hates PS3 so much, it could be any number of reasons. Maybe he had a bad experience with Sony on Heavenly Sword, it could have left a bad taste in his mouth dealing with them. Maybe it was too much work for too little reward. Who knows.

jetlian5626d ago

you up... your just mad he isn't on sony ****!!! He never said anything about UC graphics and he wasn't even talking about UC2!! He said our animation will rival UC...1

And the engine for HS is totally ilrelevant. That game is nothing like this one. You only faught in small areas. In this you have wide open spaces and climbing. So your comparasion fails. Hell if you want even UC1/2 aren't as open as this to be compared. UC doesn't have a fighting engine either

Its not a proprietary Sony engine. It is NT code. But what do you want to do with it, if you can't afford the engineers who wrote it? It's just collecting dust on some harddrive with nobody left to maintain it let alone using it to update it.

It seems Sony first parties know how to handle it well, after all it's the only console they can develop for so they have more opportunity to focus and learn about how it works.

I love how people always think Ninja Theory is a Japan dev. simply because of the "Ninja" in their title.

Jazz41085625d ago

What's sad is this gen will be over before the ps3 gets a decent chance at showing off what it can do. I feel the operating system of the ps3 and its dev tools could use a lot of work and therefore are not real friendly to whomevver uses them where the 360 is the exact opposite thanks to ms knowledge of software.

Agree 0 Disagree 1

Ju5624d ago (Edited 5624d ago )

The generation is far from over.

The PS3 devtools are improving every day. They propably will never give you a way to do hard RT traces on high performance code spawing over all cores in the cell; and thus will always be hard to debug for.

But Egde tools provide a lot of code already to utilize the SPUs for things like vertex optimization, using pixel effects (filters/MLAA, etc) transparently with shaders without the need to go down to the metal.

People want things for free. If you want to do engineering, however, hiring some engineers will certainly help. Sure, college kids will figure it out, too, eventually.

Unicron5627d ago (Edited 5627d ago )

Actually no, they can't. Unless the engine is made with multiplatform development in mind, porting is rarely identical due to the intrinsic differences in the two system's architecture.

Couple that with a devs skill, time and budget, and you can get anything from Burnout or Vanquish (99% identical) to pisspoor ports like Bayonetta (which was actually done by Sega).

blahblah5626d ago (Edited 5626d ago )

most of the software (at least 80-90%) can be the same if you use same engines. and even in case of different engines one can still make his own wrapper which is compiled differently per platform.

the thing that differs completely are things like memory managers, thread handling and how you built your architecture. another thing is load handling. usually that is a really small portion of the game code (but heavily defines final quality) that can sometimes be handled by tweaking when developers are lazy (like, if you have bad memory handling one can simply tweak lod and drawing distance to get around the problem. this results in worse graphics and more screen popping. but, hey... if you are lazy it surely beats days-weeks of profiling your code)

Fishy Fingers5627d ago (Edited 5627d ago )

No, they're different architecture (hardware set-up), each with their own strengths and weakness'. So it's always a juggling act trying to find a common ground. Depending on the engine that powers the game, it will favour one console architecture or the other.

Even the smallest difference like the GPUs (graphics card) ATI and Nvidia render in slightly different ways and give slightly different results.

Obviously you can go into much more detail.

I loved Heavenly Sword, and gave props to Ninja Theory for it, but I'm starting to hate them. These excuses are just to justify the poor performance the PS3 version will have, beforehand. All the time they use to make excuses, they should use it to optimize the PS3 engine, or make a call to Naughty Dog, Visceral Games, Santa Monica, Insomniac, o even Platinum Games, they have learned their lesson after Bayonetta, and did a pretty good gob on Vanquish.

Sadly, most of them just care about cutting down development cost and effort rather than bringing out the best out of current technology. Third parties devs want and may even rely on high profit from the least possible effort.

I think we will continue to see the most advanced games only from exclusive Sony developers, as they have the ressources that are necessary to show of what is possible.

dkgshiz5627d ago (Edited 5627d ago )

I still don't understand. NT made Heavenly Sword on the PS3 which was an exclusive....now they are crying about how they don't know how to develop a PS3 game? Enslaved looks pretty much identical on both the PS3 and 360. So WTH is going on here? Maybe everyone at NT has been getting really high on crystal meth since its been a long time since they have had to make this many games.
Edit: @ i_am_interested- Most likely. It makes no sense otherwise. Heavenly Sword was an amazing and technically stunning game. So it really shouldn't be complicated for NT to make DMC on the PS3. Yet, clearly during HS development. They had another work horse actually working on it.

Clarifying concern about PS3 development? That was the last worry on my mind for a Devil May Cry game, especially after DMC4 turned out so well on PS3.

-A western developer making a game from an established Japanese series
-One of the most iconic and badass video-game characters ever being transformed into an ugly, disgusting Edward Cullen clone
-the possibility of the combat system getting a set-back
-the DMC series getting a pointless and unnecessary reboot

RyuShinji5626d ago

New Dante sucks!!! Give us back our old dante! continue to DMC5!!
Will I buy this game? NO!!!! becuase I don't buy just any crap.

At least I know DMC5 would be awesome, even if it's just because of old dante!!!!!

Don't F*ck with our gaming icons you'll get burned!

While I love the original Dante....I like the new look too.
I'm just generally excited to see a new DMC...but if your listening NT, you need to add a butt load of combos and unlocks. Single player games shelf life is short...unless their are reasons to play past the ending.

Ninja Theory dont mess with DANTE.
OR THE FANS GONNA KICK YOU A...

spdarksky5626d ago

I think they can keep this Dante. But with some minor tweaks.

- Change the hair to white.
- Remove smoking.

There you got the old Dante but with renewed look. I think more fans will rejoice.

bunfighterii5626d ago

well enslaved is worse on PS3 regarding frame rate and screen tearing, why shouldn't we think that they aren't doing a good job on DMC?

Organization XII5626d ago

Hope that this DmC has at least the gameplay similar to the others Devil May Cry...

What a lot of you DON'T UNDERSTAND is that NT are rubbish devs, they hate everything about the PS3 and their best game is Heavenly Sword? that game sold like crap and Enslaved looks EXACTLY like HS because their engine was never updated.

They could've made HS on the 360 if they wanted to but the hype at the time was all around the launch of the PS3 so development of the game went to the PS3. HS was originally a 360 exclusive anyway so it's pretty obvious to anyone but a Sony loyalist why the game looked like a blurry washed out jaggy mess.

NT have no quality and their complaining just proves it even more, they clearly don't give a shit about the PS3 otherwise they wouldn't be complaining about HS's
1.5 million sales. The only reason why they complained about the sales is because they thought HS would sell well over 2 million sales due to it being a launch title, but obviously no one cared about the game.

Normally devs don't complain about 1.5 million sales, but NT complained because they were after the money and were shocked to have not reached whatever their target was.

iliimaster5626d ago

i hate ninja theory and their attitude i purchased heavnly sword and loved it... it made me feel like i did not waste my money.. but all they do is throw mud the ps3s way... never talk about 360 they just talk about how its harder to develop and how they did not make anything off of the game....... well welcome to the world of xbox and glitches and mods downloadable games a full week or sometimes month before the game comes out exclusivly on the XBOX 360 mark my words the first week this game comes out there will be patches and glitches to make your experince points tripple and unlimited money or whatever

iliimaster5626d ago
