A couple of things. I'm not sure Platinum even did the PS3 port. I heard they outsourced it? Next, it's complete ignorance to claim that a PS3 port is a result of "laziness." First, there have been many many other games that look worse on the PS3, which aren't the result of laziness. Instead, often, cost vs time is the reason. When a game isn't developed on the PS3 first, it's very hard to port over, and often times, it is a non-profitable proposition. Secondly, it's just an simplistic generalization that people tell themselves so they can explain something that has a large number of factors, most of which directly fault the PS3 architecture moreso than the developers willingness to work. Was Valve lazy, with The Orange Box? Nope, they just didn't, and don't respect the PS3 enough to give a shit. There are a lot more obvious reasons behind the hundreds of inferior PS3 ports, besides "laziness" which probably isn't the reason behind a single f'n one of them....so yeah. Saying things like "the developers must be lazy" is lazy posting, and lazy thinking, and you should put more thought behind your non-thought-out posts, because if you did, you would realize that what you're saying is very likely untrue. |
Yes, they outsourced it. Not doing both versions is just lazy.
Yes, Valve did not want to do the PS3 version, why? They didn't like to platform or just didn't want to deal with it.
I'll call nearly every developer lazy if they don't mutliplatform very similar. I understand that most games will have subtle differences, but this is just stupid.
