CVG: Dark Sector PS3 cancellation "never" considered

15
CVG reports that Digital Extremes CEO James Schmalz has explained yesterday's comments from a team member suggesting that sci-fi slasher Dark Sector was almost canned on PS3.

The game's producer was quoted as saying that the PS3 version was "just not running as good as 360," and the developer had "serious discussions about what we were going to do".

"Never once did we feel we could not pull off the PS3 version of Dark Sector," DE CEO Schmalz told CVG via e-mail this morning. "As with all PS3 games, it takes skill and time to optimize and we spent a great deal of time doing that. At no time did we ever think, 'It's not going to be optimized enough, so let's talk to D3 about canning it.' That is just not true."

1 - Goddamn its so.....
.....annoying how developers are unable to say anything without some "special" idiot taking what they said and using it for their own retarded fanboy agenda and then having to clear it up afterwards. Just because they had more trouble making the game for the ps3 than the 360, suddenly it was used to say the 360 is better than PS3, and it was going to get canned. I mean seriously theres some seriously crazed fanatics that need to get a life. Surely its the finished product that matters, i dont really care how it got there, what problems were faced, if the finished product is extremely high quality on both systems then what is the problem with that?!

2 - D@mn Scavengers ..
Journalists are like fanboys, they love to spin news (or interviews) in their favor...
They bombard you with questions until you slip up and then "BAM!".. Story of the day...
Then the person who they just interviewed is left scratching there head thinking "did i even say that??"
Modern day journalists are just as bad as the paparazzi.

3 - ROFL....
I would like to show this to the people who got all happy about the original article. I don't know how people do it, I have never gone on the internet with the express purpose of finding some negative 360 news, I'm like who really cares.

Sad really, but I guess people have more riding on this console war than I can imagine, stock in MS or Sony maybe.

This is the reason developers generally use PR people now.
1 misstated phrase and people put their own spin on what is said.
Ever wonder why companies like Apple, Sony, and Microsoft don't allow their developers normally to talk about their product?

(KZ2 being an exception - and even there on the Playstation Forums the developers have a specific list of stuff they are not allowed to address at all)
