Alone in the Dark Delayed for PS3

Nour Polloni of developer Eden Games says the game is "not performing as well on PS3 as we hope it is in terms of frame rate," and they're holding back the title in order to give PS3 players their money's worth.

That doesn't sound that good. More fodder for fanboys to throw. There may or may not be a lot of people that care, but even so.

dark sector and rb:v2

have these problems

in some graphics comparisons, burnout paradise, cod 4, lost and dmc 4. are better on ps3 but even so, there no point they are basically the same.

GTA IV was a lower resolution, had no AA and still ran at a lower framerate than the 360 version.speedsix

both versions had poor frame rate but the ps3 version frame rate was horrible when ever their was multiple explosions on the screen

Better idea: make a playstation 3 sticker and put it on the playstation 2 copy.

Actually your wrong. I saw IGN's head to head and the games are pretty much identical with PS3 doing better in little spots. In the end they said the version you should get is the one that your friends are going to get so you can play MP with them. Also Dark Sector ran just fine for me and looked good. Also this news is OLD. This has been known for a while now.

Does every videogame programmer need another crash course in how to program for PS3? Just how ridiculously difficult is it? After 2 and a half years, many developers STILL can't figure out how to program well on PS3.

I think he was criticising the PS3 itself instead of the devs.

Well its not the PS3 fault. They just have to learn how to use it. Its like saying a test is to hard and blaming it on the test instead of yourself.

It's completely the hardware's fault. Devs don't have unlimited time/budget to try and extract the same performance as a rival console.

Funny how no lemming brings up Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, one of the most performance-demanding games of this gen running with better graphics and less loading times on the PS3 than the 360.nervmeister

it wasnt coming out on the same date as the 360 version anyways, so why does it matter?

BS buddy. When you become a dev you know what your getting yourself into. The devs are just lazy or just dont know how to program well on the certain system. They just do it on the 360 first and just port the code to the PS3 which is why some games turn out to be crap. Its best to do it from the ground up. Some devs are getting the idea already. When you program for the PS3 first then bring it to the 360 everyone wins.

Name some multiplat games that perform better than the 360 equivalent? I don't mean any subjective claims, I mean, higher resolution/higher framerate/better AA/higher quality textures?

Well from what I heard COD4 and DMC4 look better on PS3,but back to the matters at hand. Its not really lazy its just taking the easy way out. "Hey guys we could work on each sku sepertly or do the 360 sku first then port it to the PS3. It woul be quiker that way" thats what I think it boils down to. The sad part is that many devs take the second choice.

finalfantasy94

they shouldn't have to do that.

Anyone defending Sony for FORCING developers to accomodate for their system needs a swift kick in the balls because that is bull****.

Developers have better things to do that spend hundreds of extra hours coding so that their game runs on the PS3.

The only reason the PS2 devs stopped complaining about the PS2 was because developers sucked it up and had to deal with the fact that the PS2 had a MASSIVELY larger install base.

That isn't the case with PS3 which has the SMALLEST install base. Why should devs bend over backwards for a system that will get them less sales? Explain to me why?

Its not fanboys they are trying to keep happy its consumers in general. Again IGN's Head to head showed that GTA4 was pretty much the same on both systems. Also you heard of the ol saying "gatta spend money to make money" thats how the buieness world works. Again its not sonys fault. The only way I would blame sony is if they didn't give the devs the tools they needed to work with the system. They devs just gatta learn how to work with the system at hand. This is the business world dude and you gatta learn how to work with everything.

Wha? Hasn't this been known for several months?InsaneBasura

Yea this is hella old dude.

If thats true then why not just drop PS3 and 360 all together and just go to the wii only. Hmm maybe because theres money to make in all the areas. PS3 have been selling better now so there is money to make.

Gawd, I can't belive that Devs actually have to take more time to develop for the PS3, I mean, shouldn't they all be super geniuses that can automatically program perfectly for the PS3, even though it is much harder to develop for?

They must be lazy...

there is money to be made on all platforms but the demographic for the PS3 is the same as the one for the 360.

So, from a dev's perspective, develop lead on the one with the larger install base and port to the other. Not just that, but the 360 is a much, MUCH easier platform for develop for. Fewer resources go into coding, more get to go into the actual game.

You don't understand the business of making a game so you can't try to argue that there is a good reason to bend over backwards to accomodate for a platform that makes you less money.
