Unreal Engine on Playstation 3 delayed Turok: Developer

In a recent interview with canada.com, Josh Holmes, Vice President and Studio Manger for Propaganda Games said that porting the Unreal Engine to the PS3 was the main reason why the game was delayed until early this year.

He also discusses the next games his studio is working on and multi-platform development.

Well in that case we should all thank the PS3.

If this game was released sooner in a "quiet period" some poor b@stards might of actually bought it.

TheExecutive5943d ago

exactly. the ps brand has always separated the good developers from the bad ones early on in their respective lifecycles. Only after engines get farmed do these average developers produce games on time. It happened with the ps2 and its happening with the ps3.

u nailed it.

just what i was thinking...
u cant jump into a new console hoping that u wont have issues.
the really great devs will first try to understand the PS3 tech before doing anything..

fusionboxer5943d ago (Edited 5943d ago )

That sony was consistently shipping out dev tools to everyone out there to help development on the ps3 and cell.

What I'm saying is, it's not the fault of Sony or the ps3 because the help was there and the majority of studios failed to grab it. Instead they all depended on one studio to do all the work for them while other studios like Insomniac, Evolution, Ninja Theory, Sony Japan, Criterion, Epic, Infinity Ward and Free Radical took it upon themselves to work with the ps3 and create an engine that would in turn benefit both consoles.

Silicon Knights learned this the hard way and after ditching the unreal engine they were able to create a game that looked far better then what it originally was and this was for the 360, which the unreal engine was supposedly more suited for!

I mean in it's just becoming more and more apparent who can handle next gen development and who can't.

sonarus5943d ago

well at leats it wasnt a crappy port now that epic succesfully ported ue3 on the ps3 it will make it easier for all other devs trying to do the same thing. ps3 is on the rise all those devs shafting ps3 like capcom and some other fools better start to re evaluate their strategy

Bazookajoe_835943d ago

I would have been smarter for one company to make a porting of the engine and then sell/give whatever it away to other developer.

TheExecutive5943d ago

it would have made better games but not very good business tactics.

Ghoul5943d ago

well its simply not allowed for a studio wich licensed the engine from epic to hand out any ue3 related code to third parties

cellypower5943d ago

"If you lead on the PS3, you don't have any problems taking that and moving it to the 360." "our lead platform was the Xbox 360 and that's why it took a little bit more effort at the end to the PS3 comparable to the 360." I guest next time ps3 will be there lead.

Martini5943d ago

So PS 3 code will run no problem on 360 but the 360 code won't run good on PS3. Sounds like 360 has more under the hood.

King20085943d ago

this guy admitted that games should be started on PS3 simply because it makes games better on both systems. After the demo honestly i wouldnt put this game no where near my ps3 or xbox. I have an idea for a lead character big friggin muscles and a mohawk...other dork...thats awesome /sarcasm The main guy sucks so i dont want the game.

TheExecutive5943d ago

it may be a rental when the games get slow...

Turok: A Game Series in Need of a Reboot

The Turok series has been languishing without a new title for more than a decade. It's about time we got a reboot.

closed_account362d ago

I'm all for it, I loved the originals... I just don't think, just like w the original Prey, that the main character can survive in this current political climate. Native characters seem untouchable at the moment. I think it can be shown the right respect, but there's always someone getting upset about something these days, they would find a way to cancel it.

BriBri362d ago

I can't think of a game that's been cancelled because of the race of the main character.

Vits362d ago

Honestly, I would prefer if they just ported/remastered Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion to modern platforms. So we could have access to the "original 3 games". Because I don't see how to really reboot Turok. It's a product of its time being a mixture of platforming/fps and puzzle.

And I really don't see all those elements being preserved on a Reboot.

potatoseal362d ago

I would prefer Dino Crisis remake from Capcom. Still, a remade Turok would get my attention.

FreeckyCake362d ago (Edited 362d ago )

Forgets about the 2008 reboot*
I'd rather have a sequel to Turok 3, tbh.

GoodGuy09362d ago (Edited 362d ago )

We unfortunately do not have enough quality dino games. Theres Horizon but they're robots, and Monster Hunter that I can only think of. I'd like to see Turok make a comeback some day.

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad614d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g614d ago (Edited 614d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

gurp14d ago

I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games
