So crysis 1 runing and looking like crap on PS3 and XBox 360 was also the devolopers fault? FF15 is way more anbitious than any other previous game |
Yes it was.
When porting a "superior" PC game to an "inferior" console, as a developer, you only have 2 options: don't make the game because you don't want to cut anything, or make it and cut whatever you need to, to make it run smoothly and also be as fun as the PC version. If the compromises are way too big, don't make the port, simple as that.
What do you think developers did back in the arcades to port games to the SNES and Genesis? the consoles were clearly inferior to the arcades, which let them have to make in most cases huge compromises, yet some of those games (Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Sunset Riders, etc) are still considered great games and still enjoyed to this day, and most of them run perfectly fine.
In fact, FF XV has less of an excuse, there's no PC version as far as I'm aware of, so it's not like they had to port a PC game...the developers from the very beginning had to work with consoles, from the drawing board to making the code. So it's very clear that if there are issues people are complaining about, the only ones to blame are the developers.
Let me ask you, if the PS4 and XBOX ONE are "not good enough" to run FF XV, what do you want? wait for the PS4.5? wait for the PS5? make the game on PC only? all of these options will make the already ultra high development costs of the game even higher, and make fans even angrier (since they have to wait longer), and who knows, since the game is, in your words, "so ambitious" no console or PC will ever match what apparently the developers are trying to do.
