EA Slams PS3, Saying Its Tools "Just Suck"

Check out what a NASCAR developer from EA Tiburon said to Xbox Evolved, in regards to a PS3/Xbox 360 comparison:


“The truth is the PS3’s tools and the way it works just sucks. The truth is they are both virtually the same in terms of hardware when it comes to how powerful they are, maybe the PS3 has a few different things that makes it a bit more advance, and Sony has this idea that it is designed for optimal development but that’s a load of crap. In the last generation we would make the game for PS2 and then port it over to Xbox, but because Xbox was easier to develop for, we could actually enhance the title a little if we wanted to. The case with this generation is different, now we make the game for 360 first and then port it over to PS3, but we really don’t have the time to mess with how the PS3 works to really add to much more. It will change in the future, but for now it sucks.”

The article goes on to defend Sony saying how other developers are getting the job done why can't EA

:O .... :lol: hahahaha.. thanks AK +rep for that one. Anyways, i say give it time, eventually majority of the developers will be able to work around the PS3's steep coding corners.

...How are others getting the job done? I mean, a few yeah, but most seem to having a lot of trouble.

Many developers have said the same thing but i didnt expect to hear this from a multiformat developer like EA.

The question is is it tough because they haven't had the time to get use to it or is it just harder by it's very nature. It seem that it's the latter.

It seems that even companies that have been around for generations of gaming and designed for most tech on the market are struggling so id say that it seems harder by its nature.
