There's only a handful of multiplatform titles that haven't been delayed or gimped on the ps3 lol!!

After reading the Blacksite troubles on ps3, i started wandering if the problems are caused by the unreal engine.

Stranglehold is using unreal engine..delayed.

Blacksite using unreal..about to be delayed

Rainbow six using unreal...had a HUGE delay

Graw using unreal?.delayed

etc,etc

Who developed The Darkness? (one of the first identical releases, launched same time as 360)

What engine is being used for cod4?

the darkness doesnt use the unreal engine 3.0 starbreeze made the engine.

but yea, ps3 hardware is having trouble with ue3.0 reason for area 51,ut3,strangehold delays.

cod4 uses engine by IW, not ue3.0.

That doesn't make the PS3 any better even if it was the engine making the problems.

EDIT(for teh nubs): Having the most popular engine not responding great with the PS3 is a bad thing.

It destroys Rainbow 6 graphically. Its Epics fault, they havent got their engine running well on the ps3 yet.

Im just wandering why some developers, ok..very few developers, are having no problems with ps3. Darkness was one of the first multiplatform titles that managed to ship with no delays and was also equal to 360 version. Also if the engine is the problem, unreal tournament 3 should hopefully be the end of these issues.

I believe the problem is memory shortages, trying to free up more resources.

Ps3 would of been better with just 512 mb unified XDR memory or GDDR3.

Oh dear, it seems just by looking at upcoming unreal games, one can guess which ps3 games are going to get delayed:

Brothers in arms

Frontlines fuel of war (ps3 version delay confirmed a few days ago)

Turok

To end all wars

Upcoming mortak kombat game

etc

I dont know how many of the above are UBISOFT games, but they should certainly have enough experience by now with a ps3 to prevent future games being delayed.

the unreal engine is so much just an art put together with minium programming that devs get trouble and have to manually program stuff, lol damn those SPE's.

Hopefully the problems will disappear once ut3 ships.
