Splinter Cell dev talking BS?

“It’s NEVER gonna come out on the PS3 or the Wii.â€￾ It’s a logical decision. Nintendo’s console simply doesn’t have the graphical horsepower, and he candidly told us how the PS3 can’t handle AI nearly as well as the 360.

Given the way AI is currently or conventionally written,or as an absolute?

He was talking about his game, so the bolded would be more in context.

It was a paraphrase too. Looks to me like an exclusive dev pumping up his own game and console. I don't see it as that big of a deal, it's PR, not something to get worked up about IMO.

I'd like to see the actual quote from Dany because the only thing he said they they quoted was:

“It’s NEVER gonna come out on the PS3 or the Wii.”

Then they paraphrase something about AI, but whenever they put things like that in an article when they are out of context, I just see some idiot trying to stir the pot.

I don't see the point of discussing this quote seriously.
The next SC is 360 exclusive, the guy has to sell his shit
==> welcome to bizzness
It happens quiet often no matter what the system is.

Now if some of you want to continue discussing this... I predict a thread closed soon anyway

Between there have been really interesting discussions in the tech section about AI.

D3B, I'm not enough of a console regular to make this official, but your thread title and OP content seem to leave much to be desired. Specifically, the very first topic in the Console FAQ prohibits uninformative, inflammatory thread titles like yours. Please consider this in your future, hopefully more constructively-phrased contributions. I don't expect every post to be UN material, but thread titles and OPs probably deserve more effort than replies.

As for the impetus for this thread, it seems better suited for the technical sub-forum, assuming your goal is to plumb current AI CPU demands as opposed to the meaning of "candidly."

Is there a video comparision out with AI as the showcase?

If not then it is hard to really say he is wrong since there is no material for others to use for comparision except other devs comments. But xenon handling AI better than Cell does not translate into 'amazing' AI as you said.
If anything then the AI in "next-gen" games have been a big disappointment for me, hopefully the to come games will have AI that actually whants to survive and not just be there for the player to slaughter! :smile:

Well thats why I had eyes rolling, they dont even have video proof to showcase the claim.

This is easily explained by the inclusion of the seldom mentioned, but widely used xenos partner xenai chip. Good AI is just impossible without it

Off to a bad start and stayed there. Closed.
