[QUOTE="BoDy_BaG"] [QUOTE="bruce_wayne_gr"]i cannot understand why sony made the machine to be so hard to programme for games ....i do not know if programmers are lazy or if sony made a big mistake ....marshall_121
i get that too sometimes.....i believe ps3 is before its time but i used to pray it wouldnt end up like that dreamcast. But every now and then more and more devs seem to get used to it and start complimenting the hardware which brings hope. And i dont think its going away anytime soon with bluray crushing hddvds right now, people keep buying the ps3 even if its not for the games
I think it's about longevity, personally. There's probably a big advantage in having developers gradually unlock the capabilties of the hardware, rather than fully understanding it's techical prowess from the very beginning. Think about your favorite FPS or strategy game and how important a games replay value is to you. Would you really want to experience everything on the first pass? I don't necessarily mean that Sony deliberately made the PS3 hard to code for - it could be that the hardware just demands it - but in either case I don't think it's such a bad thing. Developers will still be figuring stuff out on the PS3 five years from now, wheras the 360 will probably be well mapped long before this.
yea and i bet five years from now the 360 would be loong gone and microsoft will have another system out the door along with a wi2 or wi3. i see what you are saying but u dont want developers to still have trouble coding cause they will most likely give up and stop. You want them to get comfortable with the coding so they can push the hardware futher, like past systems u can see from a launch title to one of the last games that came up how big of a jump that said system has made.
