It was all the PS3's fault!

well to be fair it was their first time making a game for that machine, and they already had the same engine running on 360 before (table tennis)
 
Barrera offered a little more detail to MTV News this week: "It's really no surprise to anybody that the PS3 was definitely a contributing factor to that. Now, we're neck and neck. That's not an issue anymore. But back then that was something we were taking into account. That's not to say there's anything wrong with the PS3 version. It's awesome. They're both identical."

I'm at a loss as to how that states it was entirely the fault of the PS3.
 
It makes a lot of sense TBH, a newer machine with different achitecture, compared with a machine they had more time with and already had a working engine on.
You would have thought Rockstar would have realised this lol, anyway all good for the PS3 exclusive rock star franchise if its all working well now. All we need now is the endless comparrison screenies and videos and it will be a proper multiplatfrom release lol.
Dont think it matters in the end as it looks like the game is going to be great, and whos saying the 360 version wouldnt have been delayed (not as much though) as last i heard it had some frame rate and other issues in the earlier previews. In the end roll on April 29th !!
 
Care much ? - No

Nokkon correct ? - yes

Painfully obvious ? - Definitely

My lack of surprise - totally apparent

Bored of typical replies to recycled news topics - you bet.

Heh, the title of this thread is a bit misleading, "contributing factor" does suggest that it was not the sole reason.

He even says:

"We wanted the time, and I think we made the right choice. It was very difficult to make the choice because everybody wanted it. But we thought, you know, what with that extra bit of time, it's just going to be that much better and there will be more systems out."

Even if the statement that they tried porting 360 code over to PS3 is true though then it's really no surprise they had trouble, they aren't the first developer to discover PS3 architecture needs a lot more customisation/refinement.

Isn't the reason it is delayed just Rockstars fault.

They could have just released it on the 360 earlier.

They wouldn't have released it on the PS3 if they weren't going to make money from it. So the reason it is delayed is because Rockstar wants more money by getting the game out to more people. ;)

I thought Rockstar made a deal with Sony that it would be released the same time.

If they sell it on 360 months before, ps3 version will never sell as well since everyone would be like "Wait 4-5 months, or just buy a 360?"

I know *** id do :)
