the wheelman? When I care about the game, I'll care about the devs comment

that was kind of harsh was'nt it?, i like reading their comment's and their experiences  for me it is interesting in what they do to tackle problem's they face while developing software. granted it's not for everyone to be interested in DEVELOPER's and what they say. but i like to listen to what those experiences are like.

ROFLOL...there's a wealth of ggreat games for the PS3, so fanboys of the consoel can ignore "hater" developers.

I know it was pretty harsh but it's the truth. They should just go to M$ to ask for money to make the game 360 exclusive. It'll save them a lot of time and money. I know this would probably end up as another worthless ps3 port turning people off even more.

i don't think that's it, at all i think it has more to do with Developer's telling people what their experience has been, and people not viewing the experience with importance, because people on the game's forum tend to compair game development studio's. which i don't think is Quite fair due to the fact that yes some studio's are going to be better than other's that's just a fact of life. but it make's it no less viable to listen to what each Developer has to say about their Experience.

which only make it more subjective about what each developer was able to atain. with what experience they had ..at that time

it then become's fuel in an argument on the internet forum's which system, is better..which once again is subjective in context of who you talk too, or what kind of experience that person has had with the system.

Have they made a PS3 game before? If not, then I can understand how its a pain in the ass and when a developer says that it means they half ass the game.

The game is going to suck on the PS3 anyways even if it was a bitch to deal with and no one with a PS3 will buy it. I know I won't.

In my Opinion ,I do not think it's half ass, it just mean's they have many more thing's they have to IRON out, in developing game's for in this case "the PS3" it also seem's, that Developer are trying to gather better experience with this type of hardware..this is not just about the Cell Processor..it's about the type of Processor the Cell is .

example :

Introduction
Different varieties of the Cell processor are available for use in a wide variety of contexts. It is used in PlayStation3 gaming
consoles, IBM QS20, QS21 and QS22 blades, and Sony BCU-100 systems. It is also being used in a number of high profile
High Performance Computing clusters, including the LANL RoadRunner which tops the November 2008 list of the world’s
fastest supercomputers (as recorded on top500.org).
Like the more familiar multi-core processors from Intel and others, the Cell incorporates multiple cores so that multiple
streams of computation can proceed simultaneously within the processor. But unlike typical multi-core CPUs, which typically
include a set of four, eight or more cores that behave essentially like previous generation processors in the same family, the
Cell has two different kinds of processing cores. One is a general-purpose processor, referred to as the Power Processing
Element (PPE), and the other eight are highly optimized for performing intensive single-precision and double-precision floating
point calculations. These eight cores, called Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs), are capable of performing about 100
billion double-precision floating point operations per second (100 Gflops).
Recognizing the significant interest in the Cell and concerns about porting and programmability, TotalView Technologies has
introduced a version of the TotalView debugger specifically adapted for debugging on the Cell. Doing so required significant
changes to the way that the debugger models what takes place within threads and processes in order to provide
computational scientists and developers with a clear representation of what is happening in a Cell program.

How do you know you have 1+ if 0 never existed?



I've checked out the demo...meh...it looks about as inspired as Diesel's choices of films lately. The game looks okay, and maybe I'll get it, if the metacritic is solid. This gaming thing is a business, so if companies can make a high enough ROI, they will gleefully continue to do what it takes to develop multi-platform.

Well if this leads to multiplatform games using the PS3 as the lead platform then you have to say well played Sony lol.
