I completely agree with your point about they need better games earlier but I think I need to say a few things. I sincerely doubt The Last Guardian is being hindered by ps3s architecture, team ICO is very small and their games have always been fairly low budget and well it is true it is taking longer then their last game every new gen requires more content then the last but their team size didn't increase, so they need to do more work which means more time.
Second ps3's architecture isn't just randomly hard to develop for the problem was very poor dev kits early on (due to the fact that the application for the technology was completely new) and they have made significant improvement too it and the devs are learning it, I think using the same architecture next gen is there best move due to the fact it's cheap for it's processing power, it will make ps3 BC alot easier and they should be able to improve the dev kit further and not have any problems with developers. |
You're right about TLG, but I still think there are some external issues. This wait is just too long.
About the dev kits. Well I knew there was some problem with Sony getting their games out, and optimised, early. As long as they fix that problem, I'm fine. |
I think Sony just needs to give them more muscle if they want it done fast, and just have the muscle do simple grunt work to avoid from lowering the quality.
If they use the Cell again it should be a little better then it is right now to develop for, which isn't exactly the extremely easy use that they went with the psv but it should be fine, and it has other advantages like ps3 BC (which I honestly don't think will work right without the cell, look at what ps2 BC on the ps3 took) and more processing power for a lower price.
