PS3, dissecting the fail cake.

[pezz]

I said that?

weh have different hardware..yea you didnt say it but I really thought you were

EA has cancelled Command and Conquer for the PS3, why ?

"The system (PS3), is very exotic and tough to develop for, and our engine at the time was not designed for PS3."

In english..this thing is not built to create games in reasonable time, and we not re-writing the game engine..

Poor PS3

Valve's Gabe Newell doesn't mince words when describing his disdain for the PS3:

I think [PS3 is] a waste of everybody's time. Investing in the Cell, investing in the SPE gives you no long-term benefits. There's nothing there that you're going to apply to anything else. You're not going to gain anything except a hatred of the architecture they've created. I don't think they're going to make money off their box. I don't think it's a good solution.

I hope you don't say Valve is a useless company too...This mirrors Owen's statement that the Cell requires you to do completely redesign your existing code, and jump through hoops just to keep current with the competition. Companies that need to ship product to multiple platforms do not like this one bit.

In short, the Cell offers an impressive potential for performance. However, due to its architecture and limited support offered by the compiler, you can't expect to exploit this potential by just recompiling your current applications. Applications must be radically redesigned in terms of computation and data transfers. Computational bottlenecks must often be analyzed and addressed manually, and data transfers must be properly orchestrated in order to hide their latency completely under the computational delays.

Dev teams and the publishing guys who control them are not feeling that.

All that just looks like a bunch of p*ssies whining. So one paltform is different from the rest... should they all be the same? Or is it too different?

Valve is a useless company far as i am concerned. only thing they did good is steam and the protection they have on games. the games suck. cept maybe portal.

Ea is known for their greed and cheapness when trying to make money. All they want to do is port it. its pretty easy to port from mac, pc and xbox back and forth. But ps3 would add that extra bit of difficulty they don't want to try. Should we really blame the ps3 for that? EA reasonable time is the time needed to output more crap for the masses cheaply.

[-=KzR.Erasor=-]

Why is anyone even trying to talk to Semitop?....Even the MGS4 dev team a complain, and dem willin to work to get teh MOST out of the PS3

You see there, now I all a try talk to him

yea yout sony should be blamed for not remembering that it was a console that they were making

ROTFL....True Words....

Games first, blue-ray player second. Sony get it twisted..

[owen]

if you look back Sony did this with the DVD ps2 verse dreamcast and won. The systems weren't so far apart in price/hardware back then but this time madness

Maybe because i have more sense than u. Which dev team u spoke with? The only opinion posted here was kojima opinion and hopefully u would know that some game makers have seriously high expectations and make some big promises. All i said is the man is saying he wanted a great game 10 times better. U don't see something there? Or u just too daft? U asked what the point of ps3 would be if mgs4 could look better on the 360, and my opinion is it can't be better even if is just for the bluray. Now ask urself why the **** u even use ur own brain when its that useless.

i always thought of consoles different from pcs pezz. I liked the ps2 for that reason- xbox was a computer. So to me sony did make a console, just not an easy one. And part of the reason i bought the ps2 was cause it played dvds so...

u can't bash ps3 for price any more. It has a cut off point for the ppl who can buy it and get into the ps3 gaming but for what u get its worth its price.
