#65611 Posted on: 11/22/2006 02:31 AM Sorry, but that "lead programmer" sounds too much xbox 360 biased. Ive read so many articles like this one in the last few days and they all say something different. Right now only time will tell which console will be the better and even then its still only the games that decide the race.

#65617 Posted on: 11/22/2006 03:58 PM Did a fanboy bite again? Might want to read my comment again. I said I read several of such articles that "interview" some developer and they all say something different. Its also the way he says it. Doesnt really sound very professional or experienced at all.

#65636 Posted on: 11/23/2006 09:11 PM Comparing a single release game to a game from a 1 year old console is, well you know, fanboish.

#65637 Posted on: 11/23/2006 10:59 PM "Its also the way he says it. Doesnt really sound very professional or experienced at all." It probably wasn't "very professional" with John Carmack called the PS3 a "pain in the ass" to develop for either then.

#65640 Posted on: 11/24/2006 05:07 AM 360 Fanboy propaganda? lol The quote you mean was mid 2005........... He even admitted that the Sony dev kit was very, very early. Heres a more recent quote from him about it from January 06: "They are both powerful systems that are going to make excellent game platforms, but I have a bit of a preference for the 360’s symmetric CPU architecture and excellent development tools. The PS3 will have a bit more peak power, but it will be easier to exploit the available power on the 360. Our next major title (Quake 4) is being focused towards simultaneous release on 360, PS3, and PC." Of course youre hearing something like that from a PC developer. Last I heard the Xbox360 had a design very similar to PCs. But that may be just PS3-fanboy propaganda. Just maybe...........................
