Often times, I think people get hung up on technology and lose focus of the the most important thing to all of this...ENTERTIANMENT. Nintendo realized it with the Wii, and they launch a complete coup on Sony this generation. Technology is important, without a doubt, but like the one comment in the new Wallstreet movie...you can never have enough money...developers will never have enough resources. Imho, Mass Effect 2 is the best game this generation, and it didn't take 40GBs of information to accomplish. |
well I also think Mass Effect IP is a very good game series, but just because one game take's more data does not mean there is not a reason for the extra data. and in many time's quite a number of people think system a) has this limitation, or system b) has this limitation. that's not alway's so clear cut an dry.
for example the ps3 is realeased in 36 countries world wide
the xbox360 is released in 21 countries world wide
would that effect on how many languages your game may need on the disc?
I am sure it does.
also, not just that but unique Asset's that sometime's may not be as apparent, because some tool's cost more than other's so they have to go with what ever tool they can it may be more useful to the developer even though it may not be the best code saving tool, but since all game's for the PS3 have to use Blu-Ray and since all game's released for the xbox360 have to use DVD. the developer's do have tool's they use for each system some of those tool's may be better suited for their development platform than the other.
companies like insomniac as an example use their own tool's for their game's
right now these development tools are geared toward the PS3 system's. not all developer's have done that outside of 1st and 2nd party.
same with some 3rd party . it mainly depend's on what they have invested into for their studio.
