PS3 is a console that shows that you can't design hardware that is not developer's friendly. People laughs at that Steve Balmer video, "developers", but in this case that type of mentality could have helped Sony. Having a console that it's a bit easier to work with could have helped PS3 a lot, and it doesn't means being less powerful, if you do it correctly. Being difficult to work with didn't helped Saturn, with it's dual core chip, when almost no one knew how to develop with threads.


It's like building an aluminum frame for a car. It's lighter, more durable and gives better performance than steel, but it's much costlier and a bitch to work with. Maybe Sony is less arrogant in the future and takes into consideration the easyness to develop for it's platforms the next hardware designing phase.

And what exactly does your making this thread contribute? Trust me, its been said before.

Its because studios like Insomniac are extra lazy because they only work on the PS3 and they are trying to divert attention away from that fact by calling developers who work on 2-3 platforms at once lazy. Its unfortunate, but pretty much every development company who works exclusively for the PS3 are filled with lazy bastards.

@ OP )

the real reason why some devs are insulted is because they made offensive (atleast in the eyes of said PS3 fanatics) statements as to why they decided to not develop for the PS3


btw .. making threads about what "fanboys" said is futile and will only spread the stupidity ..

Funny, I never saw a thread like this before and I've been here for a long time (almost as much as you). I've mostly read comments from members in articles whenever Valve said something about the PS3 though...

You've never seen a "Sony fanboys are the worst/childish/noisy/bothersome" thread before? That is amazing, there have been lots (this kind of thread in general has appeared quite often, going against all groupings). Its a perpetual tug of war, one I've never understood the meaning of tbh.

Yeah, I've seen those. I've got to admit, I only read the title and thought that this would be an interesting thread (and not the kind of thread you're suggesting)... but from what you're telling me, it didn't turn out as planned! @_@

Devs can make games a lot faster if they don't work with PS3. It takes a year to PORT a game to it, lol. It's no wonder why FF13 and GT5 have taken so long to make.

to clarify this thread is not about (complaining) as to why the peeps act this way, but rather to (find out) why they act that way. and when i say for them to grow up i meant one should try to understand why devs are saying these things and not just label them as being lazy or stupid or imcompetent. sorry if i have offended anyone . peace game on

I see. I'm not offended myself but I happen to know that this is the kind of thread that gets people riled up in here...

I do agree that there is a lot of complaining in here (and out there) regarding devs and everyone tends to dislike those who do not support, or support fully, their console. The Wii fansbase's relationship with Capcom is one example and PS3 fans' feelings towards Valve another. All in all, the reason there's so much noise this gen is that this is simply the most bloody one yet and the relatively close race this time around seems to make matters even worse. Where before one console would trounce the others and the fans of ones left in the dust would simply resign and realize there was no way, there is hope this gen for followers of all three and we've seen some amazing turnarounds!

There are simply more feelings in this gen than in previous ones, much due to the fact that there are a lot more people participating in debates such as these (everyone has internet now and more people buy consoles and games than in previous gens) and also what I mentioned above.

Fanboys have always been around but the ones in this gen are beyond rabid. All one can do is enjoy the show, I must admit that I take slight sadistic pleasure in some of the bickering at times, especially the really silly points. I do get sick of people saying the same things though (-insert console here- is doomed/underperforming/has better or worse games etc).
