Killzone hype/expectations explained.

Further, if the KZ 1+2 people are involved with KZ3, and those people did not know how to use the PS2's hardware efficiently/well (as evidenced by these supposed dropped framerates, I don't know b/c I pretty much skipped last gen), what is there to say that they will be able to use the new hardware of the PS3 more efficiently?

As a coder, I've learned that bad coding is bad coding, no matter what the machine that runs it is. Sure, the same code may run faster, but it's not like the same code that was in 1/2 will be in 3. Chances are they are going for making it look better, and there is absolutely nothing stating that the new code will run better than the code they wrote for the first ones (NOTE: this is not saying that it *will* run poorly, just that there is no guarantee it will not. Newer hardware does not a good coder make.)

Indeed, some might say that the newer hardware will have the opposite effect. They may try to do something ambitious, but because of the learning curve involved in learning the cell they may run into trouble, and spend longer debugging it than they would if they just had a standard processor in there.

Also, @Blue3:
I see absolutely nothing in YourBiologicalDaddy's posting history to peg him as a wii fanboy. Indeed, the only thing i see that would make you say that is some posts in a SSB:B thread. Oh, and that he made the grievous error of disagreeing with you.

DISCLAIMER: I am a lapsed gamer who returned to the fold b.c of the wii. If that makes me a fanboy, so be it. I prefer to think of myself as a rational individual, but that may not be the case and I accept that.
