Hey guys. As we all know, the PS3 has been out for about 3 and a half years now. That's great. Especially since it has the amazing Cell processor which means we PS3 owners should be getting the benefit of having a large library of AAA games to play!! Wrong, only now have we seen game developers actually harness the power of the Cell processor. Like Naughty Dog, Santa Monica studios, and Polyphony Digital.

Now I know that the Cell processor isn't an easy thing to crack but three and a half years?! really? Does it really take that long for game developers to actually offload everything from the graphics card to the Cell processor. The benefits of doing so can be seen in games such as Uncharted 2 and that only took a 1+ year to build. 

So Forum, what are your thoughts? Do you thing that other game developers have been too lazy to understand the Cell, or is it because of something else? 

for some yes indeed It can take that long, because Some developer's are still learning. It Take's Time and Experience to get Multi-Core processing not just in engine, but other way's to harness the Hardware, what work's best, what can be tweaked. etc. that's the main draw back of memory managment processor's.

They indeed Take Time to get the Best you can out of them, but It does Show one only has to look at the result's. now for Some , many may say there is not enough software yet. but on the same token if the developer's have not has much Time to learn the Hardware than you would need more time.
