John Carmack, id Software's coding genius has in a recent interview shown on
G4tv made some statements regarding the PS3 Vs Xbox 360 issue. Though this is
only the opinion of a high profile programmer, his opinion should be a lot more
valid than the millions of forum posts on the subject.
Basically he says that the PS3 is more powerful, but the 360 has better
development tools and is his preferred console to develop for.
yuh i myself like the playstation more not bc of power or soopa awesome awesome
graphics but bc playstation has more titles i like and a better fan
base...........i say its more for those plp who like anime iunno........
well if you look at the developer that the 360 have obtain, a lot more tittle
from japan is gonna be on the 360..... just look at these rpg .......it's so
earlier and soo many more developer have already jump abroad the 360......i
think the developing tool have something with this
Zoids (working title)
Far East of Eden Ziria - Tales from Distant Jipang
Blue Dragon
Lost Odyssey
Well this is no big suprise in my mind. Mind you the PS2 was released much
before the Xbox was, so I mean even though some will argue the Xbox was a better
system the PS2 was comparable...
Personally I own both, but I much rather picture myself with a PS3, before I
invest more money in the mining operations @ microsoft (and no... it doesn't
cost $50 a year to Xbox live. Since the games aren't hosted on live, live mearly
acts as a tracker. Nearly 95% of that should be considered profit, considering
their over 1 mil. active subscribers - you do the math...).
But eventually I'll become weak and frail and breakdown and buy a 360... not a
game yet on the release besides Halo3 perhaps that seems worthwhile. And yes I
am a former fan of rare brand games -> perfect dark zero.
At the moment it is to early to say which is going to be the best, both are
going to be exalent machines and with what microsoft have lernt from the first X
box it should be better. My only concern with the 360 is that it will ship with
a version of windows media center, which rases issuses with security when you
are on the internet. I want to know more about the security first.
No to say that sony dont have the same issues with the PS3 but, i know more
about the vaunrabilitys of windoes software.
The XBox maybe easier to develop for but if I
remember that interview (plus a bunch of other talk from other designers and
such) developing for the PS3 won't be as hard as the current generation's
PS2.
The only real issues that I'm aware with PS3 is that (i) it'll not accept CDs
anymore i.e. say goodbye to PS/PS1 titles and (ii) Sony has some very minor
problems with its backwards compatibility engine. However as for (i) - why would
anyone want to play PS titles on a 3rd gen console? As for (ii) - the problem
registered only with a very few number of games on PS2 so I'm confident they'll
have it under control.
That said, I'm going to get both 360 & PS3 but I'll wait until the 2nd
version release (at least) so that both Microsoft & Sony will have fixed
whatever problems that'll crop up in the 1st version release. Until then my PS2
will work just fine.
