I suspect the PS3 version borrows heavily from the 360 version, just as the Wii version(which I just bought) obviously borrows from the old PS2 version. On the Wii version of Madden some things, like the playing field, look great, while the players faces(which I came across while looking through menus/options) look like play-doe sculptures. So I'm calling BS on the "from the ground up" line from EA. The PS3 framerate issue is most likely due to devs not being familiar enough with working on the PS3. I'd bet it's a non-issue next year. It's great that a mainstream paper like USA Today is (basically)telling the ignorant masses that the PS3 just can't handle the load, which is pretty silly. |
Well yeah a ton of stuff is borrowed from different 2008 versions, and also the 2007 versions... But I think what they meant by "from the ground up" is they had the same size dev team working for the same amount of time on each version, they didn't give any console a priority for quality... And the difficulties of the Cell mean that more time should have been spent on the PS3 version...
