midway developer supports PS3 as lead platform

http://www.gamepro.com/news.cfm?article_id=144588

This is the 2nd time a developer has said it would be easier to code the game for ps3 first and then port it to the 360 without compromising any of the quality of the game would it really make a difference? i dont know how game developing works at all but could the solution to multi-plats be as simple as that?

Here is why.

PS3 is hard to program for and optimize at this stage for developers.

360 is comparatively much easier.

Write your code and optimize for the hardest system first, then port that to the simpler system. Its always better to go after the hardest problems first and the easier one(s) second than the other way around.

This quote has no traction with me unless it was someone at Midway who was important, like Ed Boon. Stranglehold was a disappointment and I really don't want to hear from Midway until the next MK drops.

can we really consider Midway as big ?Prid3r

Haven't you learned? Only developers who praise the 360 are reliable and trustworthy, and developers who praise the 360 are brainwashed and stupid and probably bribed by Sony whom we all know has way more money to throw around than MS. Companies that praise the PS3 are to be ignored and only thos that praise the 360 are to be believed.

Midway?:lol: Stranglehold and Blacksite: Area 51?:lol: BioShockOwnz

I would be happy with whatever standard Midway chooses to code for if they would just put the necessary resources into polishing their games. AA for Midway is the ultimate best they can do and a single A seems to be what they consistently strive for. If that's all they except from their developer that's all they'll get and that's all the consumer needs to know about Midway. /rant.

oh yeh and is the 360 as reliabe as its devs then, um let me think about that, NNNNNNOOOOOO!!!!!! the 360 a horribe faliure rate. thats that.

So what if midway likes the ps3 best/ maybe they think the graphics will be better on it so the rubbish port will be for the 360.

Midway was fun back in the 90's with Mortal Kombat.

That's about it.

they didn't make the game. so that still doesn't dispute that they r **** developers

It's easier to port from the PS3 to the 360.turgore

Actually it is easier to port from the PC to the PS3 to the 360. YOu really don't expect games to be codedusing a controller lol.

Is this meant to be good?I think its quite disapointing only 2 have said this! Look how many devs love the 360, some wont touch the PS3, Valve hate it with passion. Anyway Midway arent exactly awesome devs..

They say this but can they back it up?JDHayes2007

If valve hates it why did they make The orange box for it? And yes midway is rather big.
