EA Redwood Shores will "optimise the crap" out of the PS3 version of upcoming sci-fi survival horror game to make it great.

The executive producer of EA's new sci-fi horror game Dead Space has told VideoGamer.com that the development team won't "gimp" the 360 version because the "PS3 can't do it".

Well, you can read the article.

 

"Right now we're leading and building and doing everything on the 360. Pretty soon in a month or two we will switch and lead on the PS3. That is so that you're not downgrading the PS3 later. We're putting all our engineering muscle into making the PS3 great, and then we'll know that the 360 will be great."

The statement is basically that the 360 can easily run a PS3-developed game, but the PS3 can struggle to run a 360 developed game.  This is because the 360 has more general purpose CPU time and slightly more fill rate.  If you develop toward the lesser set of specs (PS3), then multi platform development will be easier.

There's a bit of PR in the way he said some things, but that's the jist.  However, I'd gladly trade slightly lower specs (PS3) for better quality hardware (PS3).

 Actually is whole statement is

Sony has seen the game so they know that that's what they want out of us. But I can absolutely assure you that the PS3 and the 360 will be the same. We're not going to gimp the 360 because the PS3 can't do it. We're going to optimise the crap out of it and make the PS3 really good, sort of like Burnout.

 If you care to read the whole interview you will realize they have no experience with PS3's hardware... they will switch to PS3 as a main platform in a few months to understand it and optimize for it.

Glen Schofield said that currently the development team is leading on the 360, but will switch to the PS3 in a "month or two".

Redwood Shore? what dev team is that? Did Redwood Studios change their name? If its not Redwood Studios what games have they made? They sound like a crap hole studio trying to ripoff the great name of Redwood Studios.

I'm a little confused about the sudden love from EA?

Is this the same EA we had in 07? the one that released Madden on PS3 with 30fps?

What's going on there in EA?



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

 Just read the article or my last post.

Basically they have no experience with the PS3 and to get some experience they will switch to PS3 as the main platform (like Burnout) in a month or two. Also he guaranteed that the PS3 and 360 will be equal without having to "gimp" the 360 but by optimizing the PS3, read use SPUs.

LOL, EA still pulls in most of it's revenue from PS2's software sales so I think finally realized that the PS3 will be the future and not the 360.
