I'm sick of this "Lazy Developers" bullshit. Developers are not lazy. They can only work so much because they have a job that they are paid to do. If the publisher doesn't give them enough time and money then they're not going to be able to make the game as great. You can't expect them to work without being paid surely.

You say the words as if the developers simply decided to sit and eat donuts rather than work. I'm sure none of you know about software development but the simple fact is the money has to come from somewhere and it comes from the publishers. If they don't provide enough money, then the developers have to ration it, and things like getting the PS3 version up to 60fps take a back seat to getting the 360 version looking good since that will be the version that sells the most.

So EVERYBODY, please stop saying "Lazy Developers". It just shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

Listen, when sony was addressed of why the madden version of the 360 will run at 60fps and there's wont they said " Its not our hardware, the system is fine, its just that the developers(not trying to be harsh) dont spend more time building the ps3 version of the game, it can run at 60fps its just that they DONT want it to run at 60fps, we would like to help them in this situation, if they ask for it."In other words they are lazy and they are money hungry freaks that make the best things to the console with the most install base. Yes sony did say this but unliucky for me I cant find the artivle it was a gamespot interview.

Uhh ok. Normally I dont respond to your ridiculous comments. But I will this time.

Did you ever think the developers arent the ones calling the shots? They dont go, "hey lets just port this, its easier and we can go on vacation sooner. When its done we will tell the publisher its finished and lets all go fishing after we pick up our bonus checks!"

When you are a corporate entity time and money is what matters most.They have deadlines. If a game is already developed for one platform and they need to push it to another platform, and there is a deadline then sacrifices will be made. Its not just true for ports but for original titles as well.

Why do you think most movie games suck? They time the release of the game with the movie, and the developers basically need to crank a game out by then. Are the developers lazy? No. They are just doing a job.

Now if EA wanted to do this right, they could probably invest a lot more time and money into the PS3 version and get it running better. But Im pretty sure they just need it out at a certain date.

Geez.
