It would be facts if he had said:

"We did develop the engine for the PC/360 and porting it to PS3 would have required significant changes and our developers were unable to do it in the given timeframe."

The rest are bullshit excuses of a producer who probably couldn't tell C++ source from a cooking recipe.

Since many companies have no problem developing for PS3 and 360 I can give some other possible facts.

EA sucks.

EA developers suck so they cannot be bothered switching tools and technologies.

EA developers wrote sucky code that was integrated hard into DirectX instead of making it reasonably abstract.

RTS games on consoles sell so few copies that porting from PC to 360 was ok because they use the same tools/graphics framework but porting to PS3 was too much effort.

oh and EA sucks.

Here http://vgchartz.com/forum/board.php?page=91&id=6&sort= This is where the banned MS threads start... please find me examples..    Im not looking through 91 pages of threads! Im sorry

It's starts at 91 then goes to 98.  7 pages.

 

The point is that after E3 how many anti Nintendo Articles were posted?  (A bunch and all by Vaio a Nintendo fan)

The point is to discuss the article.

 

For the record in the MS forum on the first 3 pages alone these are the negative threads.

I don't believe that. Starcraft worked fine on a 7 year old PC and had multiple hundred units on screen with better AI than anything I have seen in C&C Tiberium Wars. Like most other games the graphics and therefore the GPU are the by far biggest problem for RTS.

And my post count has what to do with this? Just cause I dont post alot doesnt mean I dont frequent the forums. Unlike some ppl I dont just post to get another point on my post count. And come on man, insulting someone based on thier post count??? Weak dude, get back at me when you can come up with something better.

 

Ignore :)

"Later on?" Well, the PS3 got a 10 year-lifespan, they have time.

What EA developed games have been good? I honestly just want someone to tell me.

that would imply that your ps3 is crazy and will kill you in your sleep. =D

back on the OP - this is not surprising nor different than last gen. developers initially had a lot of hurdles to get over for PS2 development in its first 2 years. par for the course. Sony fans, stop being so pissed with this, each gen has a learning curve for development.

It's obviously different for every different situation but I've never banned or warned anyone for posting a negative article on one console.  Just consider gebx a messenger and either argue against the article or just ignore the thread altogether if you don't like the article.  It's not that hard.

 

 

Until now not one. But astonishingly they have a couple of games in the pipeline that actually look good unless they fuck it up by releasing them too early etc.

Spore,
Dead rising,
Mirror Edge.

Who would have thought...

Doesn't change the fact that EA sucks though.

@Burgles: you shouldn't be surprised when nobody takes a Electronic Arts spokesperson seriously in here and for the disc scratching thread: The 360 may have more games but Microsoft has earned public distrust about their console's quality hard. Really hard.
