Great article well wrote aswell.Why cant Sony make an Engine called PS3 engine or something like that,kinda what Epic did with UnrealEngine and sell/give the engine to 3rdparty devs that are devloping for PS3 but its simple to use because the engine is already PS3/CELL specific so its easy to code and so the devs dont have to modify their own engines to work on the CELL which is why they are complaining(some of them).

@ mitsuhide

The Edge PS3 Toolkit made available for free recently to PS3 developers already seems like a step into this direction.

However many multi-platform games developers use legacy game engines which are available for all their target platforms, like the UT engine. So, it's still important to adapt these engines to better suit the PS3 technology. Without such engines tapping into the power of the SPEs they lock out the bulk of the PS3's processing power. Sony is now helping Epic with adjusting their game engine right now and this should not only benefit the upcoming Unreal Tournament 3, but also many other future games based on Epic's engine.

Bigger game projects will use their own SPE enabled game engines, like Final Fantasy XIII will use the White Engine.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

@MikeB
Thats good Sony is helping the devs quite well now they need to teach the multiplatform games devs how to split up the engine on each SPE which is what they are also kinda doing now.

The power of the PS3 is all in the Cell. 7 processors within the PS3. Very complex computer programming terms are used to describe PS3. High Tech. Biological processing. PS3 is a living and breathing organism. Behold the power of the PS3.

I'm not technologicaly informed like all you guys here, but I don't think you can spend so much time trying to figure it out. But, if the PS3 10-year life span thing is true, I guess they can.
