"It's not harder to develop on the PS3 than it is on the 360, it's just a different console," said Yann Le Tensorer, the Ubisoft lead developer responsible for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. "Developers might say it's harder because it just takes time to understand the technology, we're still early in the lifecycle."

Le Tensorer added that it will take the entire development community to bring PS3 development up to speed as was the case with Xbox 360 according to Ubisoft. "We need all developers to learn from the console; it was the same with the PlayStation 2. Our team is more than happy with the PlayStation 3."

The statement comes amid unfavorable PS3 comparisons by USA Today, a recent report, and industry analysts suggesting that the PS3 is in fact more difficult to develop games on given its proprietary Cell processor.

Hmm I bet EA Feels pretty stupid right about now LMAO

And dont even use the excuse "Bu but teh ubi is teh bias" if anything ubisoft is the most UNBIAS, I mean afterall they make all their games lead on the 360!!

Well the proof is in the results; and so far it's contradictory.

Oh and what about the Wii?

It's true the PS3 isn't as hard to program for as the 360. It's just harder to learn how to use it. Like that Ubisoft interview that said the Cell isn't hard to develop for. They mentioned that the only problem is that you had to take more time to learn it.

Obviously EA is either lazy, or just lacks experience with PS3. I tend to believe the former since I know EA is a bunch of dumb@$$es.

Unfortunatly, that takes more time and when it takes more time it takes more money. That's why most multiplats look better on the 360 then the PS3. But the PS3 is catching up though. I just played a demo of Dirt for the PS3 and it blew the 360 version away.

Really? Cuz there was a comparison thread a while ago that showed some screens of both versions and the 360 version looked a tad better.

Yeah it is harder. Developer who have been developing on systems for the last 10 years don't easily pick up on entierly new systems right away. They use methods and tricks to squeeze preformace out of the consoles. Now they can't do that. To them it is learning a new language. If you are up to the challenge it is no different than learning how to program, but many aren't and will find it much more difficult to program on the PS3.

I find that a really weird thing to say. I understand that person's point of view, but they're basically saying... oh, it's not harder to develop for, you just need to take more time to understand the technology. Meaning it takes longer to develop for :P He's saying basically the same thing with more positive wording.

I wish I had their revenues and net profits :shock:

I'd rather keep my artistic integrity, personally. But then again, that's probably why I'm doomed to be a starving artist rather than a billionare.

But, but according to the $ony zombies, the devolpers at Ubi-soft are lazy to not make a tom-clancy game look better on the PS3 then on the 360. Plus doesnt EA own 25% of UBI-SOFT?

U are no artist if u prefer a ps3. Ps3 is a dvd player. And dont tell me you have too much money, that just isnt true. Money is never enought.

Yep, Ubi is right I think, therefore games like Fear were just the results of sloppy porting, as it wasn't any harder on the PS3.

Lazy they may be, But dumb they probably arn't. Most programers are quite intelligent.

Sorry, too many devs that claim the exact opposite.
