    Carmack says PS3 is a pain in his

    AZZ--

    "Co-Founder, Technical Director and videogame legend John Carmack’s impression of both systems was “great” for the Xbox360 and “pain in my ***” for the more demanding Playstation3."

    Having a system that is hard to program for is never a good thing ...

      Sad to say but I may just be off the Sony bandwagon. I own both consoles by caving for XBOX last winter to play Halo and its sequel for countless hours of gaming in multiplayer.

      With the things I am hearing about Sony being behind...I may wait a few years, and price hacks till they provide me with some Microsoft cant.

        So programming a game and the compatibility of a system's operation system with the game is a consideration when it comes to buying a game console?

          who knows Carmack's reasoning too...i mean he's the type of egomanical guy who wants things exactly his way, so not sure he's the best one that I'd trust for these opinions.

            The same thing was said about the PS2.

                Well, actually some people would take the ease of making games into consideration when buying a console because some devolpers will go make their games for the 360 instead of PS3.

                  Is he saying that the dev kit is a pain or the PS3 in general?

                  On another note, one beautiful thing about the XBOX 1 is how MS made it so PC games were easier to port over to the XBOX. Some good examples are Doom, Half Life, Morrowind, Farcry, BF 1942......and vice versa for XBOX to PC. It looks like this will be the case again for the 360 and PC games. Another incentive to own a XBOX.

                      but we’ll have to see about that stuff. Also, 360 is further along in their process as well. They have more final hardware, and they have better drivers, and the SDK has been more refined and revised. I think the PS3 stuff, in all fairness to Sony is a little bit more raw. I think we’ll have to wait and see, but I don’t think that’s going to ultimately change the way we’re going to approach developing on PS3. He knows from a technology horsepower standpoint that it’ll do everything that we want it to do, so we’re committed to it."
                      It's still early. The PS3 will be easier to develope for than the PS2, because nVidia is on board.

                        Wasn't the PS2 a "pain in the ***" to develop for?

                          It can matter. Just look at the GC. They don't have much 3rd party support at all.

                            I'll put this in here, instead of making another thread. Long read, but a good read.

                            "Carmack on next-gen consoles, game development, and other things."




                            "The Xbox 360 to be Carmack's primary development platform."




                            I thought this was pretty interesting. Using the Xbox 360 as the primary development platform over a PC.

                              Personally I stopped caring about what Carmack had to say when I realized I wasn't playing his games anymore. His "games" have become nothing more than technology demos to test out how bitchin' ones video card is running.
