Forums - Gaming - Developer explains what it’s like developing for each console from PSOne to X360 - PS3 being the hardest

Just shows how much superior Naughty Dog and in general Sony 1st Party Studios and 2nd/3rd Party Fanboys of Sony are compared to everyone else.
Especially Naughty Dog is probably by far the best developer team in this Gen - They managed the impossible.
Noobs like Carmack and so on said it isn't possible to work on the PS3 and other consoles are much better...Well maybe these people should wash cars if they can't do their job.
Naughty Dog did it - They are still pushing the PS3 with The Last of Us as Digital Foundry said.They manage to destroy Uncharted 3 with their new game...This is just insane how good Naughty Dog and probably teams like the Santa Monica Studios and Guerilla Games are.

Great article. After reading it the ps2 sounds a lot more complicated to program for then the ps3. Although splitting your program into 7 different threads to run concurrently in an efficient matter is probably where the real difficulty lies in the ps3.
No matter how straightforward the machines are or how great the debuggers, coding efficiently for 8 or even 16 core cpu's won't be easy next gen.

sounds interesting. sony made it hard for developers and it kind of explains why xbox (especially 360) gets so much support. gamecube and n64 sounded like they had so much wasted potential, oh well

That's a pretty good run-through of the consoles. It looks like Microsoft was right in the end with their hardware direction, all consoles are moving away from being complicated structures with poor development support towards the Microsoft way of doing consoles. K.I.S.S.



Tease.

I just LOL'd imagining Carmack washing cars.
