Infamous2 is only possible on PS3?

What I got from Eurogamer:

Eurogamer: Is it an easier job because you're PlayStation 3 exclusive and you're focusing on just one platform?

Bruce Oberg: From the engineering side it definitely is. It's easier. I used to work at Microsoft years ago, and I worked on Word - maybe you've heard of it? We made Windows and Mac versions. It was very complex. Being able to optimise everything for the Cell processor, for the RSX, gives us a lot more freedom to be creative artistically. We don't have to worry about testing for the limitations of some other platform. I don't think we could make this game, from a technical perspective, on any other console or any other platform.

Eurogamer: By saying that you mean you couldn't make it for the Xbox 360. Why do you say that?

Bruce Oberg: We're using so much more of the Cell processors now, I just don't know if other platforms have the horsepower to pull it off. At the end of inFamous 1 we were using 30 per cent of the Cell processors at any one time. Now we're creeping up over 50 and 60 per cent, because we know how to put things on to the Cell processors. I don't know where we'd go if we were on some other platform.

Hmm, he could be right, it does look great after all.

Everytime a new PS3 exclusive is released, the decs say that :roll: It's almost like clockwork now.charizard1605

He didn't say it cant be done, he said he cant do it due to lack of knowledge of the 360's hardware.

Now your hereing it from the dev's mouth's, and lemmings will still deni that the cell is any good.

I don't see where he said that, he did say that they don't think they could themselves on another console.

You betcha. If devs are to be believed, then every PS3 exclusive is only possible on PS3.

This seems about right. Every 360 and PS3 game could be done in the other system wuth enough dedication.

Please, this is PR BS. Not possible on the PC? LOL

I like infamous, but it is not a pretty game. Hopefully infamous 2 is graphically improved. I don't think he was intending to mean the xbox or pc couldn't do infamous 2

I think it's pretty textbook now for all developer's that make an exclusive on PS3 that the game couldn't be done on any other platform

Well, it would work for both sides. Im pretty sure Reach wouldnt look better on PS3, just diferent.

If the game is not optimized then it's the developer's fault, not the PC. Any console game can be made better on the PC, it is just a matter of knowing the platform. It is naive and ignorant to say "This game could only be made on the PS3". What he actually means is "the PS3 is the only platform we have expertise in, so we couldn't make it work on any other platform because we lack the skills".

Weird how so many games on the PC, that look far superior to console games, ship on DVDs.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] I'm holding out for it myself, but as it stands now, I'll see it when I believe it. So far, I have seen no game that could not have been done on the Xbox 360.Raymundo_Manuel
