OK, um, don't take offense to this, I mean this as a serious and valid question, is English your main language?

It is.

If not, then I can understand why you would misunderstand the subject of what he's saying, and I'd gladly explain it to you.

I'd sooner listen to Crytek's President and CEO Cevat Yerli has to say word for word. It's more precise that way without your spin.

If it is, then you have no excuse and need to stop right now, because that's not even close to what he's saying.

The transcripts there for all to read. I have no reason to doubt him when he says the PS3's causing the most problems, jeopardised Crysis 2's release on consoles and is the lowest denominator for developers...maybe it'd be one thing from some no-name developer ...but this is Crysis from Crytek. They know these things.

The only thing it states is that the GPU for the PS3 is the lowest common demoninator for the 3 console, certainly not the CE3 itself.

 That came after he said they felt the PS3 was the lowest denominator.

I think you're still getting some statement confused. The PS3 has always been the hardest console to program, most of the statement in your transcript is simply explaining that and how they can overcome it compare to everyone else.

That was the least relevant part of his speech, yes, we all know that you need to worker harder on the PS3 to get the same results on 360 and especially PC, that's generally what the lowest denominator is. That which struggles for parity the most.

 

 

 

Are you actually trying to imply that the hardest system to program for is inevitably the lowest common demoninator??? No, its not even that, you're implying that because more effort is needed to acheive parity on certain aspect of programing then it is overall the lowest common demoninator!

This is not even about context anymore, you're basically hearing something from a video then spewing out something completely different just with a few word that revelant to the topic to make it authoritive.

The reason the PS3 is much harder to program for than the 360 is because it uses a complete different CPU architecture that is actually more advance than the 360 which uses a PC legacy design (which is much more friendly to most PC developer.)

You're somehow implying that because the PS3 is harder to program for (due to the fact that it is fucken new and developer are not familiar with the design) it is somehow the lowest common denominator in a technical showdown!

Goodness gracious.

Lets have an example:

A woodcutter has in his arsenal, an axe and a chainsaw.

He just got the chainsaw and does not know how to turn it on yet, in your view, is the chainsaw the lowest common demoninator?

Be the above definition you gave, it is.

In his defense, cave people are prolly better with rocks than with a gun, it's one of those common joe mentality that can't be improved and thus, stone age thinking.
