    How do developers make games on systems that don't exist yet?

    After reading the innterview with one of the pgr3 developers it got me thinking about this. I know that development kits are sent out but those don't have the full system capabilities. Is it like a rough draft or something? Do they make a quick version of the game on the development kits just to see how everything is going to be and then make it on the system?

    If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

    good question... i think they give a rough edition, and then run it back when the full specs are out. i think they use CPUs w/ similar capabilties.
