This is old news but it doesnt mean anything. These are people who never got the final SDK to help with game development. It just separates the talented from the untalented that. Alos fro the Xbox 360 its jst easier to get a game working, meaning these easy to make gaems will use less than haalf the system power. The lead designer at Team ninja even said Xbox360 easy untill you try to use more than one core. DOA4 uses just one core like many other games. The only game thats been cancled is condemmed. A not so good lookin pc game

and these are rumors "
some developers could now be leaving Sony in favour of Microsoft and their Xbox 360.

" No confermation just speculation.

Developers who haven't even seen the final sdk. If Konomi can make that real time demo with zero middleware then these developers need to go bankrupt with their unskilled employees, They should stick with PS2 or Xbox if they want the easy road to a hafl decent game that doesnt use even half the power. To be honest i dont want the market to be saturated with buggy mediocore games.

Unless its a Gamspot, IGN headliner and EA, Ubi soft, Capcom, Konomi, Namco, Koei, Midway, Rockstar or any other major player in the PS3 development camp say they are shfting to xbox360 only, this old news means nothing. And from what I've already read no one said they are going xbox 360 only, just that they favor it seeing the hardware is actually there along with final SDK software tools unlike PS3.
 
Who cares if the lesser developers and their crappy games are not going to be developed for the PS3?!

- As long as Rockstar and Poly Digital stick around.

Real cute, there, pal. :rolleyes:
 
Good god not this old hat again!?, As said above its old news, and alot is by developers who have be disgruntled by Sony, for not giving them the middleware or software and hardware support they need. All the big guns in software and games will be bringing somthing to the Sony table come release. This happend when PS2 came out, developers said "its very hard to get the emotion engine working for you, and time spent on balancing the CPU could be spent on making the game work another platform". Fear not as this is just part of the Hype machine surrounding MS & Sony, and is nothing more than just overinfated rumores and mis-information.
 
Wow i should have read what i was typing, many errors. Anyway Sprite is right, Sony put out its dev kits well before the real sdk tools were ready to try to counter MS's very early launch of XB3.

Valves president was slamming the ps3 for no reason at all as if valve has contributed any good games for console.

Criterion's Renderware made all the ps2 headaches go away when lots of companies used it, so much EA had to buy it. Bet on the next gen renderware to do the same. The Unreal engine 2 got used to death on current gen consoles and the new version will see its share of beatings.
 
In time everything will be fine. They said the same about the PS2 being difficult to develop for; now every game is made for PS2.
At any rate, I'm sure the PS3 and X360 will be multiplatform games ported from one another like this generation. (development costs-- my ass)
I dont mind the X360 getting the good/bulk games since its coming out sooner. Too bad PS3 isnt coming out anytime soon.
 
hahaha..Dude this forum is sooo hilarious...

If you're reading this from an unbiased POV....

You see X box threads and 360 dev starting...What's the first thing to be done?

it gets shot down...

Then Ps3 "might be in jeapordy"

Here comes everyone

"IT'S NOT CONFIRMED!!!!!"
"THERE IS NOTHING TO PROVE THIS"
"let me type an essay that no one cares about to give my biased opinion on a video game that i'm not getting paid to support"
 
So what do you think in your opinion was the purpose of posting this late news? All we do is help those who dont read into this kinda stuff and only make assumptions
 
I'm kinda curious why all the Xbox360 fanboys come knocking on the door of the PS3 forums.

I haven't been to the Xbox360 forums because it's for those who think Microsoft rulez or whatever (which I don't believe personally). Making an biased opinion is what it's all about to a degree; saying that it's bad to be a Sony fanboy seems a bit hypocritical, even if you proclaim yourself as "unbiased." I do agree, however, that saying Sony roxorz or Microsoft pwnz is a bit extreme.
 
You should know plenty of PS3 kiddies venture to the X360 forums just to troll.
At any rate, I'll buy them both on launch. I love games.

I agree, soon some of those guys will try to make us believe that even Polyphony Digital is migrating to Xbox360.

As you can see, my POV is absolutely unbiased :)

Way to contribute to the discussion! 👍

This is normally where someone would put a sarcastic short video of some guy dancing and the words "You're Super!" would appear at the end of it.

This news is pretty old unless more developers migrated. Even if they have, more of the better companies have shown interest in the PS3 so far. In my opinion of course.
 
well due to developers claiming that the PS3 is hard to develope for, I spoke to a couple of people on the inside, and they say that the system has its problems just like the PS2 and that these will be got around by the time the console comes to be released, one actually went on to elaborate that this is why PS3 hasnt been rushed to the front line, because Sony are ademant that they wont have the problems with developers like last time, and are giving time over to the people who are struggeling with Middleware and Dev kits, also the PS3 is set to be using the New Unreal Engine just like the PS2 did with the old Engine.

One bad thing that has been muted over the Net is that software is costing high (also said in the articles above) but a guy from travelers tales said they will be able ot get around this by using movie tie-ins and the like, but this is only becoming a problem for small companies, and the larger developers are just about keeping to budget.
 
Surely it's the publishers complaining about the costs. Aren't they the ones who have to cough up the money for the developers to make a game?
One report I read said ALL next-gen games would cost more, at least the first wave anyway.
It strikes me that the PlayStation brand name is always linked to excessive costs. Yet a resent survey by the CESA shows that Xbox games cost more to develop than PS2 and Gamecube Gamespot
I wonder what the costs are for 360 game development?
Anyway, this is all silly. Few really know anything anyway and the future is not easily read. And to be perfactly honest I don't really give a fudge. :dopey:

Yes your correct, but its the Developer who spends the cash, and it looks really bad if you have been given a certin amount of money because thats what you have agreed on, but when push comes to shove you realise that the costs are spireling above what was in the contract, then the developer has to ask for more money, this is then upto the publisher to agree to new terms, and if not agreed then the developer has to find a new buyer for the game or it gets scrapped.
 
I'm wondering who moved this back into the PS3 forum?

This is a thread based around the idea of more developers going to the Xbox360.
That seems like good news for the xbox fans if you ask me.

Any mod who moved it, please explain yourself as I am trying to do...
Just my opinion but this seems like it belongs in the Xbox forum. 👍

Btw, I moved this thread to the Xbox360 forum... I wonder who moved it back. :lol:
No really, I do wonder. :confused:

I've just found out from the other mods that members can move their own threads.

Do not move this thread back to the ps3 forum once it has been moved, unless you care to tangle with the mods. :mischievous:

This should be in the Xbox forum because it is good news for the Xbox people.

Btw, if you disagree with this move, please feel free to weigh in on the subject.

Noob.

This article has already been shot down by any credible journalist out there.

All three of the linked sites are money makers via advertising, bogus news and rumors is all the post, rarely is there everything ever credible.

Don't get upset because false information isn't true you fanboy.
 
Development costs are said to be actually about the same. I remember reading an article in either Game Informer or EGM that said that the difference would only be one or two million dollars for your average game out of the typical cost of a bout 16 million USDs.

Sony has recently released an SDK that included the Unreal Engine 3, Havok engine, and others. I think this is good news for both parties--if one system were to be far superior than there would be no competition and the games would not have to compete which means that the developers would probably go lax and make some poor games. Man that was a helluva sentence... lol In any case, I think that this is also bad news: Konami and PD have made some games with killer graphics without any kit whatsoever. Now if they can do it and do it well, I think it's within the capabilities of other developers, too. In fact, I think without a devkit to rely on, the truely talented developers etc would really shine through.

But this isnt even real news. Its not good news for xbox fans They would get the same games reguardless. Its a moral victory for fanboys not xbox fans.
 
Yea, its not like they're both launching next month. The PS3 doesnt have a date at all. They've probably got plenty of time to get some developers signed in.
 
Lets resurrect these sortsa threads a year from now and do a pwnometer poll on the 360/3 thing . ONE YEAR , if it's a matter of hardware it's a matter of longevity , is the xbox 10+ yrs old already ? But the software , that's a sell now item and to keep a reserve on personal taste is the plus in that equation .
 
You should patent the "Pwn-o-meter". lol You could probably actually do it and get money.

Oh wait, forget I said that. I'm doing it!

Valid points, BTW.
