Lazy Developers

In all seriousness so long as the poor framerate issues are addressed on the PS3 then its probably going to be a matter of personal taste.

Some people like the PS3 post processing effects

Some people like the Xbox post processing effects

My concern is with the PS3 framerate however. From memory this game uses a new engine.

That means a new and potentially non optomised piece of code. It took years for the Devs to tweak the usual suspects in terms of engines to support the PS3 properly. Indeed it was only 12 months ago that they hit parity with the 360 (assuming a multi plat engine)

This engine may well be a step backwards for the PS3. Only time will tell.

Even then they can always release a patch (Bayonetta anyone ?)

Correction: Rockstar still rules, its 2K's Czech team that is at fault.


Actually, you can re-edit that statement, because Red Dead Redemption is better on the 360 as well.

As for the bonus content the PS3 gets, imo, every bit of these "exclusive content" DLCs they've been getting are so laughably minor, I'm not bothered a bit.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Aren't we already used to lazy developers?...

Let's wait for the launch version to judge the differences. Even if the PS3 version is heavily inferior I wouldn't care because I'm not interested in the game anyway.


Why when PS3 has the better version is due to a powerful console, and when X360 has the better version is due to lazy developers?

so why do you think PS3 versions are lower quality????????????????

it surely isn't an inferior system


It's an inferior system in money/time limited scenarios. PS3 has a higher theorical limit, but you need more time (which equals money) to extract it's power, so It's natural that PS3 version is more times than not the inferior version. I'm sure 99% of the people here drives faster in a world rally car than in a F1, due to the time needed to learn to drive an F1 car, which is a very hard car to learn to drive.

PS: And I'm not comparing the power of both consoles to the top speed of both types of cars, I'm talking more of developing learning curve than absolute power.

that fine but if they start to develop on the higher system then they can do the same in that cost

uncharted 2 just cost $20m so this shouldn't be a problem


20 million dedicated to a single platform /= 20 million cross platform developemnt.

I bet Mafia already cost more than 20 mil to develop for all 3 platforms...

yeah but if they developed  it on a single platform for $20m and then posted to 360 as porting is cheap.they would have both version better

20 million isn't cheap when you already have an engine to begin with. How much did cost Uncharted?

You should read up on the DLC for Mafia2 then, minor is definitely not a word anyone would use to describe it

it is.hell MW2 COST 40m with a built engine and many other games too cost more with an engine

and Uncharted's buget was the same $20m as the sequel

I saw comparison images for Redemption and saw basically nada differance. Not like the obvious differance for Mafia. The differances are so small for redemption that only a retarded fanboy would care I only care about major differances as I love both Sony and Microsofts hardware and software.

the mirror thing is screwed and is not much different on both consoles
