When talented and well renowned developers report their frustation developing for the system because of poor design choices, you have to wonder if it's the developers fault, or the desgin of the consoles... |
The devs might be talented in the fact that they can create interesting games (I'd actually credit the design team for that) but what it boils down to is that most game devs come out of school with little to no knowledge of multi-core machine coding. They are taught dirt basics and industry tricks. (My friend just graduated from one in Arizona, so I know this is still true today for a fact.) Multi-threaded applications are not something you can just plug in and work with. They require planning or a good engine to benefit from. There are some developers that don't learn anything after leaving school and don't expand their knowledge more than they have to. We are in a transition period in both PC and consoles. Multi-Core machines are still very new (to the mass market) and very unsupported as far as tools and game engines. This is why everyone complains about difficulty in programming.
It seems the mods need help with this forum. I have zero tolerance for trolling, platform criticism (Rule 4), and poster bad-mouthing (Rule 3.4) and you will be reported.
