"We're planning that you'll be able to get a party together in Home and then file into the game from an Unreal space. Home's pretty cool, so we're planning to do that. That'll make it easy for... what I like about that is that you'll be able to form without us having to build a party system. It won't be as detailed as a real party system, but the idea is that we could all meet up in a room and go together in the game.

I think it's really smart that eventually if everybody does that, each company doesn't have to develop its own way to all meet up somewhere and all go into a game. I think that's a very smart way to do it, and I kind of wish Xbox 360 would do that, and I'm hoping that they will at some point.

He sure has turned sides since Gears of War. He was smart, he chose a better console platform for his games.

Hmmm, I still don't like him, and won't until he either ports Gears to the PS3, or adds the sequels to it. Oh, and if he makes an exclusive for the Ps3 of course.

with all the things i've read in regards to mark rein in the past few months it seems he prefers PS3 over the 360, maybe he doesn't but thats what it looks like to me.

Mark Rein is always contradicting himself. Nobody can take him seriously, he's like some kind of big 8 year old kid who can't make decisions and stick with em.

Well, he's right, isn't he? The 360 doesn't have a built-in lobby system, which Home will give the PS3 basically by default. And it's a benefit. Probably one of the few real, non-cosmetic benefits of Home.

Why not just add a party option into games. I don't want to play a game, after playing realize a friend signed on, quit the game, go into home, invite my friend, and then launch the game all over.

Epic, coming from a PC background, I'm sure would approach the PS3's network more openly. Xbox 360's network is sealed tight, and works out for many things, but ultimately flushes out a lot of the things PC video game developers/players have become accustomed to. This doesn't exactly pertain to Home in particular, but the argument is there.

Home sorta reminds me of one of those free to play Korean grind-athon mmorpgs. You can play it perfectly fine as it is, but if you want anything interesting/good, you gotta shell out money for it.

Of course EPIC would like to be lazier devs. Problem is, you have to work hard to survive in this country. He just wants the easy way out. Sorry, Mark, we aren't letting you rest.

Well, sorry but I don't have a 360 and Gears is possible to be done on the PS3 without downgrading anything, if done right of course.

i'm just curious as to why Epic hasn't made a PS3 console exclusive or are developing one at least if Mark prefers PS3. Maybe its just a money issue since Microsoft paid for Gears. I kind of think the 360 version of UT3 will get cancelled though.

You all do all realize Mark Rein is nither a programmer nor a publisher. He has no say on what goes in a game at all. He is the PR guy. Pure and simple. Why does anyone care what he thinks, i dont get it.

They wouldn't spend the time and money trying to port a perfectly good game on Playstation's weird interface to it's fullest, therefore the graphics wouln't look as good as the 360 version. The PS3's GPU wouldn't be able to keep up and the most you would get is some decent physics/dynamics. Just look at my sig.

The PS3 GPU is slightly less powerful than the 360 GPU, but the CELL and RSX working together can create graphics that are superior to the 360.

But it cost so much to do that developers say "hey, why are we wasting time and money on this crap when we could make it for the 360 cheaper and make more profit due to the fact that it would sell better?"

A couple weeks ago Mark said that UT3 should be on PS3 before year end(after the rumored delay to next year) And bam it's coming out on Dec 14.

Mark is a man of his word and listens to his customers.

In games the SPEs each do something different. one handles AI, one handles water effects, one or two can help the GPU in some way, etc.

Mark Rein has mentioned before how much more open Sony is on user created content, like mods, then MS seems to be for XBL. I remember something from an interview before where he mention Epic was still talking to MS about how to handle mods, when he didn't have that many issues with Sony about them, I think he might of said that or something similiar to it :oops:

I remember reading that he said that PS3 can't run Gears. That's why my sig was made in the first place. But do you see me acting all brilliant? SkullboyX

I'm 100% sure every game for the PS3 and 360 that has currently come out could be done on the other console. I think in a few years we'll see games that the 360 cannot run but the PS3 can. Unitl then i think any game could be playable on either.

The main point is that nobody should listen to a thing that Mark says because is full of crap.
