I'm tired of Developers' Excuses

Why, you ask?

Because, nowadays, developers are using the same excuse, "not a big fan install base." That's thier reason for going Multiplatform, which I'm not always for.

It's like they don't even have faith in their own game that they created.

For Example, Halo 3, it doesnt need be on Wii or Ps3, cause it'll be very sucessful on the X console.  Super Mario Galaxy will be sucessful as well, because Mario is a household name, which only one console suits him.

Just as MGS4 will be a smashing Sucess when its release only on the Ps3 since we know that Kojima always gives us quality games.

I say the Developers whom have Faith on their game, making them exclusive to a console, deserves some respect.

That's why I stuck with Sony, they have many exclusives worth spending $600 for, even the games aren't out now.

You're absolutly right, developers do use that same excuse. The thing is developers don't see that the PS3 install base will grow with the exclusives that Sony gets. If they decide to make them multiplatform and say that there isn't an great install base on it yet, it's because they're part of the problem. You see what I mean?

EDIT: Please don't mod me for this. I'm just saying what I think of this situation. No disrespect to you guys, okay?:)

games that go multi-platform ARENT FIRST PARTY GAMES!...that voids ur whole argument.

Sadly Yes developers lately are making excuses look at the last one of Capcom they want "every body to enjoy their franchises" still they dont give the PS3 their latest franchises like Lost Planet or Dead Rising, Capcom simply got scared that there sales would go bad cuz of the smaller PS3 user base, but sadly we all know that the small PS3 user base would have probably bought the game cuz some of the PS3 owners might have bought the PS3 for that reason a Capcom had their sales assured but they simply decided to act cowardly and compromise the quality of the product in order not to take the risk of having their sales go bad and all of us that have played a Capcom PC port know VERY WELL they are VERY sloppy

Again developer complain about the PS3 smaller userbase but dont do anything to make it bigger, you give them a exclusive more people buy PS3 tha makes a bigger userbase which opens up the posibilities to make more exclusives later one...sadly dev are not making that insted they make them multiplats that lower their slaes for that system in this case PS3 and dont help the user base get bigger which makes possible future exclusive not a posibility

Thats what i have been saying! The developers complain about an install base that THEY should be creating! The PS3 is not going to get big overnight. The developers need to quit being such cowards and just do what they said they would do.

Dot Hack a game that doesnt sell nearly as well as DMC or MGS is only on PS consoles. Developers need to take more risks like what Sony has done with the PS3.

Sony has done their part, now its time for the cowardly developers to do theirs. Square Enix, Konami, etc have done their part...whos next?

Well, the problem with your argument is that Halo and Mario are owned by the companies that are putting the games out for their own system. Much like how Sonic is on all platforms now that Sega doesn't make consoles anymore. Also, it's not the developers problem, it's the company's...But they are companies and they need to make money, so it makes sense.spazzx625

edit: examples

Halo 3 mulitplat would have weaker online for PS3 while not using the space a blu-ray can offer to maximize the game size or enemy amounts.

Resistance mulitiplat would have fewer physics and less particle effects while havin to be smaller and perhaps losing some levels. The mulitplayer would also have to be smaller and lag free online would go too.

You guys been saying....its the company, not the developer. But in this case, capcom IS the developer. They are both. And its not that DMC4 went to other platforms, its their attitude.

I started to look at them very differently since last month (like the way i look at EA) once one of their employees came out and expressed the reason why Clover Studios was closed down. It was strictly because they did not make enough money.(Ill get a link later on this, and more quotes)

Yet, they made a wonderful and critically-acclaimed game that won many awards and hearts of gamers, and of course respect from those same gamers for both Clover and Capcom. But all that respect wis gone, as they decided to shut down Clover studios.

Now all they make is games that just shoot and kill and delivers on most platforms. They dont give a damn if the game is liked or not, as long and it sells. And yes, 500,000 copies is what companies need to break even. Lets say $50 is what capcom makes per game sold. That's $25 million on just 500,000 sold. I doubt it cost that much to make DMC4, as it took only $10million to make even GeoW.

Gaming is just a business to them, that is all. We might as well just look at them as if they were a goddamn oil company.

But, there are some companies which do not need to go Multi-platform to get huge profits. Capcom already had a grip in Sony with DMC4, among others. Kojima, on the other hand, dont need to port MGS4 since that's the Ps3's main attraction. You wanna know how awesome the power of MGS4? He gots 360 fans fantasizing about a port, even forcing the to make unnecessary insults to our respective fan base of Ps3.T-Zone

Get back to studying for your Algebra exam this Monday. Don't worry, when I was a child, I lied about my age when I was online too. You'll get past this phase.

Not exactly sure why people are bashing here. If a game, for instance is created on a multi-platform system, the game itself would originally have to be created for the more difficult system to program for, then ported over. From what I'm seeing, the quality may still be better with the Playstation Three when compared to the other system. (Leaving names out for a reason....) The question here seems to be along the lines of, "The Playstation 3 seems to be the platform that the programming will be made on, then ported to other platforms. Why be so angry in this case?" For example, look at Rainbow Six: Vegas. The PC port was very poor compared to it's counterpart due to the poor integration of code. Pasting that scenario (yes.. I used "pasting" as a verb in my argument >FreyarHunter

I don't really care much about exclusive games, unless a franchise I like suddenly is announced as being made for the other guy with nary a mention of a PS3 version, even though Playstation is the system that franchise cut it's teeth on. *cough*AceCombat*cough* Now, that pisses me off. Along with Ubisoft saying Splinter Cell is an exclusive for the other guy every year, but turn around and release a port 6 months later...
