then why haven't sony designed the ps3 to be easy for developers to code?

could you not just code it in whatever language you want, convert it into binary then covert it again into whatever the ps3 uses?

that would be a much easier system to work with.

Because they were arrogant on the back of the PS2 success (which was also difficult to programme for) and they thought that people would still use it regardless. Had the PS3 been as popular as the PS2 then you'll have seen more titles made for the PS3 and ported to the 360 rather than the other way around which you have today.

On one hand the PS4 could use the Cell again (much expanded) which would mean everything devs have learned will be useful to them again and BC would be fairly straight forward. On the other they could change it up again for something that is just generally easy to develop for.

I'm sticking to my guess that they'll stick with the former since the SDKs and all the tools are apparently orders of magnitude better now than they were when the PS3 launched. As a result sticking with familiar tech will probably benefit them.

Not visually stunning? Can you just define your parameters for me?

It looks nice in some places, on a large scale, but often textures are clumsily copied and pasted over large areas and it looks terrible. Also if you look at individual objects or rocks, some look great but some are PS1 level. It only takes one such object in a screen to make the game overall just look naff.

It's definitely among the best for consoles though, as someone said. But there are many better looking games for PC.

There are games on the PC with better visuals than a console game that hasn't even been released yet?! Call the press.

Really.
 
When someone in the console sub-forum says that a console game has good graphics is it that difficult to assume that that they're talking explicitly about consoles? Some people simply have to bring their PC elitism into threads where it has absolutely no place.

Oh jesus, I just failed so hard. I didn't read the whole thread and thought you guys were talking about Skyrim graphics. Sorry. Just saw that trailer for The Last of Us and the graphics do indeed look stunning. But as you say, still not up to PC standards (not that it's really that important).

Also lulz when someone makes this statement.

You clearly don't remember what the PS1 used to look like. Here i'll remind you:

Care to find me an 'object or rock' in that trailer that has as much aliasing and low res textures?

Hola!

While, I think the game looks pretty good, just feels stale, I mean another Zombie game :(

*sigh*

Give it chance. They're infected, we know that much. Didn't really look all that zombie like to be honest. We don't know what other creatures we may have in store.

Read my last post - I was being an idiot and talking about the wrong game. The trailer looks great.

Just out of interest what other things would you like to kill and how many of the apparently millions of recent zombie games did you actually play? I mean, the only options for things to kill in games are pretty much humans, robots, aliens or monsters. And any monster which looks like a human and might eat humans is automatically called a zombie regardless of it not being undead, not moving slowly, not having flesh falling off of its bones etc. Zombie these days just means has 2 arms and legs and eats people apparently.

And to be fair, the trailer shows 2 dead humans and only 1 dead "zombie". So if anything should it not be "just another game where we kill stuff"?

Zombies are lazy though, the A.I. is just "run at you until you or me are dead"

Aliens and humans have so much more potential for interesting combat, whether through human squad tactics or the sheer potential of the human mind for creating weird and wonderful aliens to fight.

Zombies are cheap and easy to churn out and that's why we see so many of them now.

But we know almost nothing of what these creatures act like. They appear in the trailer in a pod of 3, 2 run off somewhere else (I guess to the other dead body) and the one that comes for the characters doesn't do so until you hear the guy **** the revolver too loud. We have no idea if they will fight tactically or if they just all hurl towards you like "zombies".

The "zombies" were in the 2:30 trailer for all of about 8 seconds yet there people are dismissing the entire game as "meh zombies". It's just baffling to me.

Oh yeah I was just talking about zombies in games in general rather than this game specifically.
