Factor5 making exclusives on PS3 because of performance

What? where did you hear this Laa-Yosh?

I can't get into details (once again)... it's a small industry. I don't know if it includes B3D though.
 
Factor-5 is officially on the sony payroll so their word means as much as any sony?MS/nintendo 1st/2nd party developer.But if sony fanboys feel that this is a....blow to MS :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: then more power to them i guess.....

In other a mediocre(at best) developer,that has never developed ANYTHING for a MS console, signs a contract with Sony and that is presented as a blow to MS cause this developer has said a few good things about XNA some time ago!!!!!!!I also love how a game like "Kung fu chaos"(which mostsomy fanboys were bashing and making fun of) is now considered a "great underatted game"!!!!Can't wait for John Tobias to become a sony developer so that Tao Feng will become an "underatted" classic also.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if employees from all 3 major console companies were posting FUD... Whether it's sanctioned of course I couldn't even begin to guess at but like I said, telling me that some company's employee is going to hype it and put down another company is hardly new.

MS is doing it publicly and officially in the majornelson.com comparision :)
 
Well Too Human is an exclusive Trilogy for the Xbox 360.....

So is Silicon Knights doing this a BLow for Sony? Not to mention that they are far better game developers than Factor 5.
 
it has occured to me that is factor 5 was going to make this comment theyw ould have to have atleast the alpha kits from both sony and ms.


but also, hasn't someone from a different developer said that teh dev kits they have from sony dont have cell's in them yet?

so really in my eyes, anyone saying "they only have alpha kits from ms" are being ignorant, because the ps3 dev kits have to be even less adaquit for the accual ps3 then the dev kits for the 360 (considering most dev. got their ps3 dev kits only 2-5 months ago, while ms has said that they let theirs go a year ago)

Not really, 1 maybe 2 months ago there was news that Sony was shipping Ps3 dev kits to the UK, and developers said that the Ps3 dev kist are actually more advanced, meaning that they are much closer to what the final hardware will be than the Xbox 360 kits.

The fact of the matter is a small developer has picked the PS3 to put their games on because of the power. Devs said the same thing when the PSP before it came out. They said that the PSP has given them what they need to make the game that they want. I know you guys remember devs saying that. Now we have our first develop saying it about the PS3. I think we will see the same thing happen with the next gen consoles.

Xbox1 had alot of these types of announcements from small devs last gen and despite more powerful hardware they still didn't outsell Sony. Devs will always follow the money regardless of system power, unless the top selling system is oversaturated and they see an opportunity to big a big fish in a small pond somewhere else.

Hmm, so knowing that those kits have SLI GF6s, can we make the assumption that RSX won't be as advanced and different from other NV chips as Xenos is?
 
No, I believe that they were saying that because the dev kits included a CELL (if I remember the other information coming out at the same time as that quote).

This must be the biggest blow to Nintendo. :cry:

Sadly, Nintendo fans have known that Factor 5 had "dumped" Nintendo a long while ago. Actually about 2 years ago they had mentioned that their next couple games were not coming to a Nintendo platform :(

I do find the XNA / PS3 comment interesting. To praise XNA and then become a Sony 2nd party, well, that explains it pretty well... But companies are going to get exclusives and both with get press quips. The issue who makes good games or not. The GTA, GT, MGS exclusives are quite a bit more persuasive, although SW games always sell well (Even if the quality is bleh too hit and miss as of late).

Well..in some general purpose (not math intensive) code the devkits CPUs could be even faster than final X360 CPU.
I'll like to clarify this. This comparison is between the CELL CPU and the X360 CPU? Or is this between a PPU and a X360 CPU?

Comparing one CPU in sony's devkit (cell) to a CPU in microsofts devkit (a dual CPU power PC) when he CLEARLY knows that the xbox 360 devkits CPU is NOT the final hardware.
Well both Sweeny and Deano have verified that their demo work is PPU-only... SPUs haven't come into the picture yet. If there is really a need to be specific, the comparison at this very early stage is actually 1 PPU against dual-X360 prototype CPUs...
