The "lazy developer" is a myth perpetuated by Internet forumites, kinda like the Nintendo ON.  Games are not all made equal:  they have different budgets, different teams, different consoles, different tools, different consoles.  Not every developer can afford to spend 4 years squeezing every ounce of performance out of their system like a first-party (or Mikami when he made RE4), at some point it comes down to profit margins.  Developers don't just sometimes say "well I could make a AAA game, but I don't feel like it so I'm just going be lazy".  Instead they must carefully balance development time, graphics quality, and potential sales.

That being said, there's a good reason Wii games don't have graphics that are past the GameCube level: Nintendo is pushing their console as a place to make simple, cheap-to-develop games.  Making a game that pushes a console to its limits (like Super Mario Galaxy) is not cheap.  Even making a game of RE4 quality would cost a ton to make on the Wii due to all the assets needed.  It just doesn't make sense to spend all that money to push the Wii to its limits, when the same amount would get you much better performance on the 360 or PS3.  Which is why you have most of the experienced dev teams working on those platforms, and not the Wii.

But the thing is they still charge 40 pound a game here in the uk, same as a 360 game for very poor quality, now you tell me how thats fair??

Seems like you're a Cow/Hermit fanboy now...

btw since when did Resistance sell 2 Million copies? I wasn't aware they did that. I think they just recently did a million couple weeks back didn't they? Didn't know Zelda did 4 Million either but wouldn't be shocked...

By the way there's a system on SW. If you hype a game AAA and it gets AA it's called a flop. I don't agree but I don't try and change it, it's the rules or whatever here. I mean Fable got a fine score but people mock it. And it sold pretty well too. Doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. Same with Killzone for me.

CNC was not hyped for the 360 more then R:FOM was for the PS3. Please....I'm sure you meant for PC but that's just it. This is a thread about anm xbox360 game that scored well. You come and try to turn it into a PC is better screw the 360.

I'm sorry you're so upset the 360 game scored well... I guess you can get over it you can. Life will go on man don't worry

First off I'm not a Lemming..

Not sure what you meant cause"But you fail to see how you taking PC so that your argument can have a better argument"

But I guess you meant by taking PC out. Listen pal. This is a thread about 360 version. You come in here bringing up R:FOM and we get into all this debate and you try to look so high and mighty. You try to swing away the fact that R:FOM was hyped and scored lower then it was hyped.

May I also add you just did a terrible thread where you asked if people would be a game on 1 disc or 2...leaving stuff out for your "advantage" just so people can obviously say 1 disc because it's being taken out of context and thus confirming that DVD9 is bad. HOW VERY VERY VERY SAD..... I don't write insane threads like that pal... you do 

leave him to cry man :lol:

I dont think he gets what your saying..

Your trying to tell him that this thread was made because the TC was suprised that c&c3 scored a high score for the 360 and not a compare it to the pc version thread ;)

He wont listen to you because he dont like the 360 so he as to bash it when it gets a great game or port...

Here is the news from Game informer, Square goes completly multilatform, and wants everyone to enjoy all its games as it seem, so FF13 is timed ewxclusive to PS3 at best case scenario now

"We made the decision to go multiplatform after researching global ownership rates and overall marketability," says Takai. But there is more to the story than simple numbers: "As game developers, we would like to have as many users play as possible, and we are confident that we can create an RPG with the best specs imaginable at this point in time." While contractual issues prevent SE from specifically confirming which platforms the title will appear on, the issue is hardly puzzling. Since the game is too graphically intensive for the Wii, that only leaves the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

OXIIIIXO

This only means that they are making multiplatform games, not that existing titles will go multiplat.

hmmm so what does this bit meen then (Since the game is too graphically intensive for the Wii, that only leaves the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. ) ???

I believe they are talking about the new rpg called The Last Remnant.

And this bit(While contractual issues prevent SE from specifically confirming which platforms the title will appear on, the issue is hardly puzzling)

dont think FF will go to 360, plus it wont sell on that system anywaywinner-ps3
