"Black Box has confirmed that the PS3 will be the lead format for Skate 2, due to criticisms levelled at its predecessor.

Speaking to GAMER.tm recently, Black Box producer Jason DeLong confirmed that the PS3 version of Skate 2 would be the lead version of the game, after the PS3 version of Skate 1 was criticised for not being as good as its 360 counterpart."

that's a good news to hear,,,,, hopefully most  developers will follow(EA has already done this with lots of their games like Mirror's edge,,dead space and so on),,,this way both versions will look better.(yea 360 also benefits when the game is developed on PS3 and ported to 360)

sweet, it wont b long until most games are led on ps3

The bolded part of your post is EPIC failure.

You have been listening to MikeB too much.

good news, but it doesn't seem they're looking forward to working on Ps3 as lead platform lol.

You obviously dont use google much.

Those are just from a limited search.

The skinny is that you need to streamline your code to work with the CELL. And in that way you make a far more clean running code for the 360 port. Makeing both versions run better.

Epic phail confirmed.

"From our perspective leading on Playstation3 has meant Xbox 360 has given us a great product."

The other sources are from Sony.

Use your common sense.  Is there any way in hell a game developed first for another console then ported is going to look better than a game developed straight for the Xbox 360?

Naw, looking better really has nothing to do with it. Its how the game runs. I admit it was a quick search, I didnt notice that 3 of the articles source the same thing. Look for EA talking about moving to PS3 lead and more from Criteron on it. Also Infinityward talks about it in COD4, though they had 2 teams working on their versions at the same time.

Its a simple mater that you have to build the engine and code in a more stream lined way to work with the Cell. When you do that, then port it to the 360 with out all the sloppy code that can get by on a normal CPU, you end up with a smoother running game. Im not saying the difference is massive, because it isnt. However it does end with a great PS3 game AND a great 360 game. Which is a win for everyone, and not a great 360 game and a lousy PS3 game. Which is a loose for PS3 owners.

Of course ... developing for the superior platform will eventually allow xbox360s remaining power to be tapped and thus reach its maximum potential. Then there's where the PS3 pulls ahead. They both will benefit and as time goes by, PS3 will eventually be the lead platform for the majority of developers =]

Ok, do you guys actually know how to program? Because what you say hurts my brain

You are both talking about different issues.

Starcraft, you are talking about the inherent loss of efficiency that results from porting between two different consoles

lemmiwinks, you are saying that the PS3 is a stricter platform to develop for, forcing programmers to write elegant and efficient code.

Starcraft it seems you do need to take lemmiwink's point into consideration

lemmiwinks, you completely neglect to consider that a developer and the programmers could simply make a 360 game efficiently, and then it would look better than an efficiently made PS3 game ported to the 360

So you are both right :)

You're also both wrong :P
