yeah well the EE still sucks ass compare to the Hitachi SH4 of DC..... Success is not a proof of quality..... EE was a pain in the ass too.... and in many way still is compare to the HW before (DC) and the one after (XB).... Cell the same it's piece of shit when it comes to gaming dev confort..... it's a great processor and hope to see it in my TV someday or in some super computer..... just not that great for a home console.....
@windbane
ok i'll say it again just for you.... having a better AI doesn't make it more complex.... the problem with an AI like on conviction is the number of individual you have to handle with different behavior.... especial if they calculate in advance their next action for a lot of different character and totally randomly.... so a poor crowd AI could be more complex than great AI for let say 15 enemies on screen.... (i kept it simple)
@Bod
no it's not a little bit of both.... a dev is not suppose to care about the hardware... it's not his problem..... it's like me when I work for a poster advertising if I sell a picture not at the right format i'm fucked he doesn't care if the 100 000 print he just did are horrible he is paid anyway..... it's up to sony to make sure their hardware will be easily handled by the dev not up to the dev to make the effort....
So even if they are lazy like a sloth.... it's still Sony's fault for not making it easy.... end of the discussion.....Sony is responsible for its HW and that's it
@Sporticus
name me any dev studio that develops that many saga and/or games at that pace of release with a better quality than Ubisoft... ??? just name me one ??? and with their title selling millions behind.... and most of the time multi platform.... just name one company other than EA who does the same (and achieve the same end result ???)
