Kojima: Xbox may have the most dev support next-gen

[eDoshin]

More support, less support, who cares? I don't care if a console has a 100 games I do not care for. I'll be happy with the console with the games I like.

 

[Sean*O]

Yeah, but everyone has favorites, so the more support, the better the odds are that you will like more of the games available for the system, obviously.

He's assuming the PS3 is that much more powerful than xbox360, of which E3 Killzone level visual are expected. If that is indeed the case, then developing a game with that much more higher level visuals for PS3 will require that much more from the smaller developers. In which case they might rather make games for xbox360 which should need less staff for content creation.

That is how I understood it.

But I could be wrong.

Even if he meant it as the above, it is only one person's opinion. But interesting none the less.

Knowing what we know about the ps3 we know it wont be leaps and bounds better in tech than the x360. The power diffrence will be small and what is actually put on the screen is even smaller . Either he was shoving the hype down his mouth with a shovel or he is being miss understood by some

i don't think we know that much.Not enough to make any definitive conclusion,IMHO.

BTW ,i saw Deatmeat on arstechnica discussing Xcpu ,and affirming it's an Out of order CPu ,and is actually a tricore G5 PPC at 99% .

...but it isn't...

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Isn't tricore PP5. Is OOO.

I was pretty sure it wasn't out of order... Or is that Cell?

 

[rabidrabbit]

Cel isn't OOO as far as I remember reading, I thought I'd read xcpu wasn't either :?

I hate to say this, but I think that's exactly what was missing when Sony, MS, and Nintendo revealed their console: Deadmeat. I'm still wondering what was he's reaction then.

BTW, I think we might need the full interview to clear things up a bit.

In case people didn't already know, Gameindustry.biz = Spong, when it comes to credibility and quality of the information.

By the way, what's up with the topic titles these days? It's like everyone is trying to top each other for the record of the most misleading topic.
Stop it, now!

I'm sure Acert was in good faith. The article itself was ambiguous. Guess he could have edited the title of the thread though.

Sure we do , unless nvidia has found a way to have the rsx perform much much better than the xenos with the same transistor budget and only a 6 month diffrence in release dates at the most

 

[_phil_]

...then we don't that know much.

edram budget converted to logic can make room.Also ,rsx/cell integration/communication isn't all clear ,then ,there is that ppp thing, or more programability on VS ,....

and the unknown realworld performance of that beautiful on paper xenos...

 

[jvd]

...then we don't that know much.

sigh , my post was sarcastic. The edram gives the xenos a large leg up in performance that the rsx wont have . U know what , we will find out in 6 months . Its not use wasiting the time to responed

 

[X-AleX]

If he was talking about support compared to last gen, why would he say "may"?

Its already a fact that X360 has much more support than the original as far as develoipers that are on board. So, I don't see that statement making sense.

if you look at the context, it obviously a comparison to PS3
"sees him commenting on PS3's high level visuals again, before reiterating that Xbox 360 may enjoy more developer support this generation."

It's probably in reference to the X360 being easier to program for, and possibly dominating the US market, which could cause a shift in overall Dev support. The US market is the biggest cash cow, so that's the region where most dev's will care about most.

Of course it is this way.

I don't think we have to decipher every word of his opinion..lol..it is not like his comments have some kind of secret meaning hidden in there..I really don't think he even thought a lot before making those comments.
