Whats up with developers delaying every games for the PS3?

I mean come on. Have they gotton any release dates right? They are delaying some games just for the fun of it. For example why hasn't Orange Box released yet? Why is UT3 delayed? Why is MGS 4 delayed, again? Where is SOCOM which was suppose to come out this month? Why is Blacksite coming out in december when other consoles are getting it this month.

What next --Killzone pushed back? God of War 3 cancelled? FF13 comming out in 2010?? Where is Tekken?

All of their excuses include that they are trying to make the games better for the PS3. Well FEAR wasn't better than the other versions and it came out like 6 months later on the PS3. Same with R6. All I see are effortless ports.

What special stuff do they put in PS3 version that they have to take an extra 2 months just to release it.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Well for a few reasons.

For instance, since the 360 has the higher installed base, often times developers will shift resources to that version in order to assure that it gets out on time. This also serves the developers well because the longer the game takes to come out for the PS3, the more chance that more PS3s get sold, hence their chance of recouping costs and making profit increases.

Also, if the game is being developed for the 360 and ported to the PS3, supposedly there are challenges in doing that so it takes longer to polish up the PS3 version. Shame, too, because usually the PS3 version is still inferior. It is frustrating, but until Sony starts catching up, this trend isn't going to change.

There are a couple of reasons.

1. Generally 360 is lead platform, and porting from xbox 360 to PS3 is harder than people originally thought.

2. PS3 hardware is generally just hard to program for.

3.Due to the lower install base, PS3 games are given the short end of the stick when cuts have to be made.

4. The PS3 hardware is new, so devs don't really have scheduling or programming figured out yet.

its a combination of things. some developers want to take the time and iron and polish the game out (ut3).

others are adding things (mgs4).

i even suspect some games are getting delayed just to get them out of the already over crowded holiday season.

Delaying a game is not that but. I know it's pretty annoying but most times its worth it and you enjoy it more!

Let the developers take their time. They are doing for us. For not to make an unfinished rushy released game, and we get dissapointed because we wanted it so much and the reasult when we buy it would be very dissapointing and don't buy the next game.

I get a bit agree too when they continuously change the release date but I kno, feel that i wont be dissapointed. Because delaying it, means they are fixing problems adding things. Also the release date may coincide with another game(s) you want to buy and can't decide which one to get. Then one of them gets delayed and there is your choice. Lucky you!

SO how angry you get. You can't do anything. Just wait wait and patience and you get more when it comes out!

Be patient!

CoD 4 will have a Split screen

It is mostly because is harder to develop a game for the PS3 than for the XBox 360 or PC. It is actually even easier to develop a game for the XBox than for the PC.

Most developers use tools developed by each company to port PC and XBox games to PS3, but most of those tools are far from perfect, so the end result is buggy and don't really take advantage of the PS3 hardware. Thats why most developers have to take some extra time to tune the PC3 games.

That, and also Sony support for developers sucks.

Be patient my child.

Your reward will be rewarded!!!!!!!!!!

...SONY need to offer the tools to 3rd party some of them are getting impatient...SolidSnake2020

Exactly... One of the best things MS did was to publish a set oftools so game developers can port their games to XBOX 360 easily, and that tool is developed and supported by MS itself. As SONY does not have such a tool (and if it has it, is not available to 3rd party developers), each company has to make their own tools, and of course, they won't be as good as something Sony do...

I thought that Sony released the "Edge" or something along the lines of that as a tool to make developing on the PS3 easier.
