It's nice to see people actually respecting the DEV for his response.
I am glad he did rewrite three times - His reply shows his thoughtfulness without recourse to ripping the posters head off.
He did show the poster to be an idiot but in a clear and nonrantful manner.
KZ2 was in development at least a year in advance of the Launch of the PS3 putting it squarely into three years + of development so far.
They do have some points though....
especially about the insulting racist jerks and anger management cases you run into online - I don't enjoy those so called gamers.
I say so called because I don't include them in my definition of Gamer and why should my enjoyment be limited by idiots like them...
I always have wished for a meta level kick function - kicks the idiot offline forever - based on number of kick votes garnered across all games.
Looks like it is free to download
but to access the BT Openzone I bet you have to pay BT an access fee
"he Go!Messenger client will be available to download by selecting the Go!Messenger icon found under the Network menu on the PSP. Follow the instructions and download the client from the website"

Someone must have forgot to tell Eden Games and Atari.....
since they both appear to believe it is coming to the PS3
http://www.edengames.com/ga...
maybe you are confused due to the fact that Eden Games is doing the PS3/X360/PC version and Hydravision Entertainment is doing the Wii and PS2 version?
Hmmm after reading the article I would say
probably all three were the purpose of his talk...
1) what is play
2) keep costs down
3) he's just F* us...
of course this is just from looking at the video
it is possible that the framerate drops through the floor when multiples of enemies/npcs on the screen.... T_T
The framerate drop that is alluded to is minor - actually watch the video in the review. Oooh... 40-45ish fps vs 60 fps- both are smooth and emanately playable.
and the actual images are much clearer on the PS3 - check out the detail on the still shots they have of the game at the end of the article.
That said... I am kinda sad that Capcom didn't get the framerates up.
Yes.... Journey to the Center of Arcanum would have been awesome... I was so sad when Troika went under...
Terra Arcanum was easily game of the year material.
From date of original purchase not manufacture date.
Sorry T_T

"This is Michael Shorrock. I’m the Director of 3rd Party Relations at SCEA.

I question the disagreement bubbles... If you don't think I am right tell me how I am not. I am a reasonable person and I can't think of how XNA is any more then Net Yaroze was for the PS1.
A development toolset that is sold to the public or given to schools
A distribution network for the programs made on it
A subset of the tools given to full developers
Capable of fairly impressive game creation
only difference might be price (XNA is cheaper...

In many cases if you are registered Sony Developer Sony will provide a technician free of charge ^_- as part of the Service contract most developers have.
And as for asking for help I guarantee that for all console developers have at one time or another called in Support to help with developmental issues..
@darthv72
Not justifying anything - just correcting mistaken information quoted as fact for a long time. That the memory pools are hard to work with(true to a point)and can only be used specifically by one component (this part is absolutely untrue.)
I tend to agree great games for all!
I am glad that Sony was able to help D3 out and make their experience with the PS3 better.
I am sad that D3 didn't use the extra that the PS3 gave them though...
@etownone
just so you know the 2 memory pools on the PS3 are both accessible by the GPU and the CPU with little restriction (there are some). They can be thought of as the same in most cases but one can be used up to 5x faster then the other so it can be used for other tasks when not used in pool mode.

I personally don't find any of the exclusives worth having since my 3rd X360
I dumped all my X360 games and have been happy ever since.
(personal opinion)
I find that I am willing to give someone the benefit of the doubt 1 or 2 times but 3 times was to much for me.
Sony is allowing the system to recompile D3D to OpenGL ES
It does not use D3D in and of itself.
40 gig model has already removed all vestiges of the PS2 from the PS3
I would suspect that the biggest change is HDD+ and 65nm for both chips (and possibly a new model with PS2 BC)
No price cut but more features.
They state up front that it's not all multiplatformers but newer ones that are starting show that the PS3 and the X360 versions are very close:
"The common wisdom is that Xbox 360 versions are typically better than their PS3 counterparts, and this is true in part. The PlayStation 3 2006 launch lineup was choked with quickie ports that did little to tap into the system's power, and a few high-profile games (Madden 08, for one) were undeniably superior on the Xbox 360. But as yo...
