What is the point fo using devkits anyway?

They're special developer kits for a given console. They allow you to test the game, and environments out on the system your making the game for, without having to burn a DVD, and transfer the code that way. It allows for much, much faster translation and debuging of a game.

 

If by given you mean paid $20,000 then yeah, that's about right. 

Twesterm, you're a developer; I assume that the dev/test kits can run unsigned code natively, but have never had occasion to find out for sure.  Is that true?  Or does part of the provided compiler or whatever also sign code for you?

 



Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.

This is more troll bait. I personally feel Metal Gear Solid 4 has been linked to multiple promotional deals that will keep it PS3 exclusive.

I mean really, do you think Sony would let go of a game that they push as exclusive in magazines, bundles, and most importantly commercials?

The deal for Metal Gear Solid 4 is probably beyond the realm of videogames. It probably extends into film. I can honestly see Sony Pictures letting Kojima direct a Metal Gear film and keeping promotional and business ties locked.


I'm getting a little irritated by people too cheap to buy a Playstation 3 console. Instead they wait, pray, and antagonize about 'exclusives' coming to the Xbox 360. Its almost as if they want Playstation 3 to fail. The game is a gem in the Playstation's library. To want something like, would spell doom for the console.

 

Hideo Kojima knows this as well.  He knows that his game is holding the Playstation 3 on its back.  Sony will spend whatever they can to keep it at their home.

What alternate reality are you from. PS3 owners are always whining and bitching about games being announced as 360 exclusives. Particulary when they are JRPGs.



talkingparrot on 29 June 2008

There are many portions in the game that directly either need to be cut out or plain changed. I think Kojima left it the way it is for particular reasons. I know the fanboys in this thread will gloat, but reality sets in, at this point in time, its going no where.

I don't think that's what was meant.  The text used is a way of providing that for any example cited there will be a devkit.  In this case "given" refers to the example provided (or implied in this case)
