Even as a kid I did better than them with the updates, and I didn't get paid for it.
On top of it, the "patch" for the PS3 worked out to be more like a virus. Downloading the batch has caused PS3's to not even load Madden discs. So a little word of caution; DON'T DOWNLOAD THE PATCH.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When it comes to video game lineups none get as much as attention as the launch lineup that accompany a new piece of hardware. But what about the last games? That's the topic for this week's Top 10 as we'll be looking at the very last games to grace their respective consoles. "
I remember buying FFIX on PSN because I was looking for swan song PS1 titles to enjoy on PS3
10 Years Ago This Month: Sony's sales pitch as the powerful system took a hit when EA had to explain why Madden 08 on PS3 was noticeably worse than the Xbox 360 version.
The cpu was hard to work for 3rd party, butt the cell was really powerfull and fast. It wasnt just pr or secret sauce. Uc2 and killzone 2 were amazing. But 3rd party want money. They also problems with the ram. Only first party was able to make huge jumps from first gen games to second gen. It was an expensive console but the tech was much more powefull at launch then this gen.
Wasn't this already established in 2006? Online Sony's first party studios took advantage of the cell.
" was PS3 hard to Develop for?"
Here we go again , they been saying this since mid 2006-2007ish . of course the CPU was hard to work with but the Cell was fast and powerful .
Next year Article : " was PS4 to Easy Develop for ?" slow day in office ?
P.S . over last few years N4G been Repeating same subject matter with Slightly different title, same old subject .
I would hate to be a writer busting my brain to come up with a New lie to draw readers interest end up repeating 2006 article again .
I would not say "hard" to develope... but it went against the norm and it also threatened a well established pc archetype of which many in the pc business was against. Not with ill intent, but to try and change the way digital hardware works... it is huge mountain to climb against a well established pc design.
A lot of third party studios kind of just did not try because they did not want to support the change.
It went beyond just gaming with the backlash of sonys cell design.
Sony has always tried to push innovation and sometimes they miss or go to far against the norm and fail. Like betamax vs VHS. Betamax was the superior hardware but they lost that battle as well.
It is why Microsoft created the competition. They were getting beat in so many ways and their monopoly was getting threatened by everyone. Apple, Google, etc etc. Microsoft had to fight back to try save their dwindling sales. Lose the hardware, you lose the os.
Luke looks at the most influential features of Madden on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
What the heck EA has against PS3? I mean, I start to wonder things that way. First they simple design a game like 4 year old kiddo, the worst they can for the PS3, then they release a patch that simples says sorry to spend your money in our game, will won't give it back to you, but will make you forget that this once existed, cause you won't go play anymore.
EA Sports never was the highest degree on development quality indeed, but this one is just too bad, even for the makers of old F1 and FIFA...
EA can do no wrong and blame PS3 fans for getting up in arms about EA.
Yeah, right.
Fix this EA, you POS.
To bad ps3 owners are having a bad time with Madden 07'. It's easily one of the best Madden's to date. I LOVE taking out people's legs with the hit stick. Sucks for you guys.
EA games is a joke. I know they'll get their act together, but for right now, it's rather pathetic.
