I coulda been playing Turok in 2007 if it hadnt been for the PS3

Why do publishers need to wait until both versions of the game are ready before releasing it?? Same dam thing happened with GTAIV, 360 owners have to wait until 2008 just because the PS3 version wasnt ready in time.

Because of things called legal contracts.

Are you really crying over this game?Ragnarok1051

that's what I was thinking. This game doesn't even have the Cerebral Boar, now that makes me cry.

Link to PS3 delaying GTAIV? I was under the impression both platforms had issues.

KTHXBAI!

Maybe instead of trying to deliver witty lines, you should read the articles. The second article cites an analyst who is guessing. The first article admits PS3 was a "factor" in the delay. Not the sole factor but a factor. R* admitted that the 360 wasn't ready either. Maybe the PS3 lagged behind some but the 360 version was not ready to go either. Thanks for playing. ;)

I'm reasonably certain that GTA is unfinished on both platforms.sdelaney86

I think i saw a news on GS claiming they finiished GTA 4 on the 360 in December and was just waiting as they have a deal to simultanously launch on both the consoles.

Here is the original article.

This is the quote that evidently started this.

"When was Turok finished completely?

The 360 version was pretty much complete in the November timeframe. Most of the team at the point was focused on polishing the PS3 version up to the standard of the 360. The project kind of led on the 360 being an Unreal game.

Was it harder to develop on the Playstation 3? Did you have any troubles?

If you lead on the PS3, you don't have any problems taking that and moving it to the 360. But if you lead on the 360, and duplicate it on the PS3 it can be a little bit more challenging, and for us as an Unreal engine game, our lead platform was the Xbox 360 and that's why it took a little bit more effort at the end to the PS3 comparable to the 360. But that's something we planned for knowing that the 360 would be our lead platform."

But later on in the interview, he seems to give a different explanation.

"You're releasing your game in February. Obviously you missed the big Christmas season rush where we had a lot of games in one tight period. Are you glad that your game is going to get a lot more attention now, instead of being lost in the mix of a bunch of other titles?

Definitely. That was one of the things we considered when we delayed the game. We wanted to polish the game experience as much as possible on both the Xbox 360 as well as the PS3. Additionally we wanted to add some content on the multiplayer side and make that experience really robust and rewarding.

But on the flip side of that were all the market realities. When I look at last year, I look at it with my gamer hat on. I'm a pretty hardcore gamer. I buy all the good titles that come out on all the platforms that I own and I was missing games that I was really excited about.

There was a week there that Orange Box had been released there for a week and I knew that if I didn't buy Orange Box in the next few days, I would not buy it. And if I hadn't bought Orange Box, I would have never had played Portal, and Portal is my hand-down favorite game experience of last year. How sad would that be if I hadn't have played Portal, not because of the quality of the game, but because there was just too much stuff out there?"

I'll believe it when i see a link. And even if it really is all the PS3 holding it up, does it really matter? Are you that eager to spend your money and play one game? What happened to lemmings being SO OVERWHELMED by the MASSES OF INSANELY AAAAAAA GAMES on the 360? Where are all those games now if you're just waiting so impatiently for one game?

You might say "I can anticipate a game while I play other games you know!", but if you were "playing other games" would you be wasting your time here, posting about how upset you are that such and such game isn't out yet?

I'm sorry. What is your point here? Is it, because the man anticipates a PARTICULAR game, this illuminates a fallacy in Lemmings every where?

Yes because Turok really needed to come in 07 when we had big sandbox shooters like Crysis.

WHen we had Atmosopheric hyrbid shooters like Bioshock.

WHen we had big guns like Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4.

When we had the greatest package of 5 games iin 1 first person shooter like the ORange Box.

ANd if that wasnt enough we got

THe fastest shooter in the bis in Unreal 3

We got a great well told story in the Darkness

Heck Even Nintendo Joined the fun by taking there first person action adventure game and making it more of a FPS/Action Adventure Hybrid this time by with Metroid Prime 3 Corruption

IF that seriousaly wasnt enough we had GRAW 2 early in the year with Lost Planet.

SO did we really need another FIrst PErson shooter in 07.....if it came out last year, i think it would have gotten a 5.

WTF are you talking about? How do you know i own a 360? And lems don't overhype their games(and get owned), cows like you do. Really you should see who your are writing about before you bash someone. How do you now i hyped games as AAAA on the 360 and even if i own one? People like you really brings this site down and also forewarns me not to buy a PS3(insane cows). And when did i say i was upset about the delay and when did i bash a PS3 or praise a 360? What makes you think i am a Lem. You are just upset that you bought a console that gets games delayed and doesn't have as many good games as the competition. And i wrote that i thought i saw that the delay was the PS3's fault and i didn't state this as a fact. Only fanboys state their opinions as facts and overhype games(lair, heavenly sword......i could go on and on).

Well until they let me plop my 360 and PS3 on my desk at work and play them all day, then yeah I'll just be posting in game forums all day.
