| grimygunz said: The reason We can say Lazy Devlopers is because its EA and this is the game that has carried the company for over a decade. This game should have the Biggest budget of all thier games. If sony can have a launch game at 1080p @ 60fps Then EA with its second madden game on the system should be able to have 1080p 60fps. I have taken 2 programming classes C++ and visual basics, and the two thing that professors tell you is not to take shortcuts and to optimize your code for the situation. |
Then either you took a games programming course or your professor had no idea what they were talking about. Optimising is out, it's much cheaper to create a single general purpose program and computing power is fast enough to handle it anyway. Only games programming and incredibly complex programs (such as Office) really require the extra optimisation power.
However, how the hell is a developer supposed to spend the time optimising their code when they are not allocated the budget to do it? The simple truth is there's a limited amount of money available and EA thought that money would be better spent improving the 360 sales since that would be where most of the sales will come from.
I can't say I blame them. There's nothing lazy about it.
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
