It seems that reading comprehension is a tough thing to employ in these threads, as many people have made a similar comment.
I did not say that people inside the same company do not communicate. That is the very reason why we have these "seret person with knowledge" scenarios. Person A who is working on the particulars of the PS4 TELLS person B with knowledge of both systems(or no knowledge of either) that they are seeing this or that when they are working on it. Person B probably doesn't have actual hands on experience with both consoles, but is taking bits of information from another person and coming to a conclusion. If any of you have worked in a collaborative environment, you know exactly what I am talking about. With dozens or hundreds of people working on minute parts that go together as a whole, very few people if any have enough information to make a meaningful observation. Even fewer people will have direct experience on both systems to make a true comparison. My previous comment assumed that people understood the group project scenario. I'll try to be more precise in the future to skip the discontent. |
I didn't want to get into this, but you are wrong. When coding for a game you need to know the system you are coding for in and out to get the most out of the hardware. Now every studio isn't large enough to have multiple teams work on different platforms. That means some devs do indeed have intimate knowledge of both sytems innards. If the studio is large enough to have a seperate teams working on each platform, like someone said earlier, there is a team that goes between both to confirm parity. What about these indies making games for both platforms? A lot of these indies are very small teams, some are only a couple people. Your argument doesn't work very well, neither does the Take 10 dev's. The people he's crying about are the Neogaf people. A lot of those people are industry people who know their shit. He shouldn't be telling anyone to STFU.
