| vivster said: You really need to let this one go. Ports are a good thing. Good for people who haven't owned it before and good for devs to make some cash on the side. Be it with enhancements or not. On one side you are arguing that ports take away resources from new games and on the other side you want devs using more resources to make the ports. |
Plus it doesn't actually take away that many resources anyway. The game is already done. All assets, acting, tech, etc. It's all there just waiting to be taken/ported onto whatever machine they are going to. Yes the porting does take some time especially going from ps3-ps4. But multiplatform games mostly already have PC versions that they can port to ps4/xb1 so it shouldn't take but a couple months to do that. Wasn't it the warframe devs who said they ported from PC to ps4 in 3 months?
With TLOU though they have to upgrade all the textures and models though which could take more time, but again all those assets are already made. They just are scaled down for ps3.
Where did this "porting games takes a lot of resources" come from anyway?
