| rukusa said: if you guys think thats a report of epic proportion, then take a look at this newly found qoute about Mercinaries 2 on the PS3 compared to the 360: ''The world is going GTA IV crazy - and quite rightly so - but we've also been catching up with another anticipated open-world action game, Mercenaries 2. Developer Pandemic were on hand at a recent EA event, with senior producer Jonathan Zamkoff ready to update us on the Venezuelan bang-fest. But it sounds like PS3 might actually get the better looking version in the end. Zamkoff reckons that PlayStation 3 is better than Xbox 360 at anti-aliasing, which suggests to us that Sony's version will be a sharper and perhaps more pleasing visual experience. We'll have to wait until our own eyes see the evidence to get excited, but it's interesting nonetheless.'' ...yeah, its Gamesrader, but if this comes from the horses mouth then I be damned. |
Indeed, I agree it's worth referencing that article in this discussion. Then, I would, as I posted it in my third post (seventh in total) in this thread.
That said, I think it's interesting to note the change in developer attitudes to the PS3. Last year, it was almost impossible to hear a third party developer talking positively about the PS3, especially in comparitive terms to the 360. Now that appears no longer appears to be the case. Indeed, some developers are even claiming the 360 has significant, unsurmountable problems when compared to the PS3.
My original question in this thread wasn't whether the PS3 was better, or whether the potential of the PS3 would even make a difference in the long term, it was about the seeming change in developer attitudes, and whether the quotations filtering through to us are isolated examples bucking the general trend, or whether they are the start of the new trend.
In short: Are we to see a new trend where some, then most developers claim the PS3 is better, and the 360 is worse, or are the above isolated examples? Or, will we see a return to the point where developers praise the 360 when compared to the PS3, and the PS3 is relagated as a cumbersome beast (or whatever)?
