"....because at Sony we were shown what the original spec of the PS3 might be -- which turned out to be incredibly different than what actually did come out."

"For this project, we led on PlayStation 3, and in a way I think that's what most people are doing. We found out that people were doing 360 and then trying to get stuff across to PS3 and were struggling with it. There seems to be less of a struggle to go the other way, I think. You hear things that you have to put a lot of effort into on PS3 and get it up and running pretty quickly on the 360. Then, like everyone else you have to scramble to get your framerate up."

again, 0/10.

dev's start on the ps3 version first not because of a lack of power, but because of the very different architecture it uses from the xbox 360.

I can't be bothered to read through a 4 pages interview, but 7 years in development? That seems wrong.. And no - this does not confirm the PS3 version to be inferior.

I don't see anything that suggests that the PS3 version will be inferior. I wish there was some info pointing to one version being better than the other... I was going to get the PS3 version because it was the lead version, but I'm still not sure. Sadly, this interview does nothing to settle the matter.

I think it will end up better on the ps3, though I do think there being an emphasis on lighting and shadows that the ps3's might strugle on the shading power end.

Extra content and no disk swapping says otherwise.

Developing for PS3 is much more expensive and time consuming then compared to Xbox 360 or PC in a similar game ratio. I wonder how much the development cost would decrease if the Playstation 3 didn't exist and Xbox 360 and PC were the prime platforms. I would also like to know how much better games would be if they only focused on two platforms instead of divided up resources for a third, much different platform. You always see small and medium sized developers develop more likely for PC and port to Xbox 360 due to similar architectures.

considering i think the ps3 dev teams are as large as the 360 and pc dev teams combined... if the ps3 was out of the picture it think more games would actually be made more quickly and more often... while i don't believe the ps3 is an awful system, i think sony neglected dev's and consumers when making it and assumed everyone would blindly follow along, and they just lost most of their market share to 360 because it literally took 5 years for people to actually start produce good games for the system, and multiplats to be as good on it....

No. This game was announced in 2005 or 2006. I know for a fact Red Dead Redemption was announced in 2005 with the reveal of the PS3.

3 discs is hardly a draw back. oOO swap it once every 15 hours! What if you on your PS3 wanted to play portal 2 after w hile? why, you'd have to .. duh duh dunnnnn swap discs! Therefore, unless you play LA Noire all the way through without EVER taking the disc out of your conosle, the swapping is a non issue.

i think since all of the previews of the game have been the ps3 version, and that we only need 1 disc proves that the ps3 version is superior, also ps3 gets more content. you remember ff13? 360 used like 3 discs, ps3 used 1, and the ps3 version looked way better.
