EA Dev: The way PS3 Dev Tools work Just Sucks
A NASCAR developer on developing games for PS3:
“The truth is the PS3’s tools and the way it works just sucks. The truth is they are both virtually the same in terms of hardware when it comes to how powerful they are, maybe the PS3 has a few different things that makes it a bit more advance, and Sony has this idea that it is designed for optimal development but that’s a load of crap.
In the last generation we would make the game for PS2 and then port it over to Xbox, but because Xbox was easier to develop for, we could actually enhance the title a little if we wanted to. The case with this generation is different, now we make the game for 360 first and then port it over to PS3, but we really don’t have the time to mess with how the PS3 works to really add to much more. It will change in the future, but for now it sucks.â€

That guy is a **** bastard. No wonder he works on Nascar, that Southern dumbass.
Wow a EA developer blaming the PS3 as being hard to program for, what a surprise. Since when did people expect easy ports as a given? Oh well, never bought a EA sports game before and don’t intend to do it anytime soon with their half-assed attitude.
Yeah, since it’s the PS3 that sucks and not EA. There may have been a time in my life I would have bought that statement- but not today and not for the foreseeable future. Lots of good titles, lots of good hardware to use- don’t blame the system because your devs can’t find their way out of a cardboard box. You’re a terrible company, you make terrible games- and you reached your high water mark several years ago. Deal.
