January 16, 200917 yr Author I'm still a bit bummed about missing out on the secret crate level. The Breakdown Begins this May.
January 17, 200917 yr It will be introduced via downloadable content later on. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
February 5, 200917 yr Only 360 achievements are always required. Trophies aren't. That's no longer true. As of this year, all PS3 games require trophies. http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/4151.html
February 7, 200917 yr Speaking of which, is the PS3 really that hard/strange to develop for? "Alright, I've been thinking.

February 7, 200917 yr Brad (rainwarrior) and I were just discussing this; I think that if one were to be writing only for the PS3, it would not be hard to develop for at this point in time. And practically speaking, I guess it's not that it's hard to develop for, but that it forces a certain amount of diligence that isn't required by the 360/Win32. If you want the PS3 to run well, you have to utilize the SPUs. You also have to obey memory limitations that don't exist on the 360 and (practically speaking) don't exist on a PC. So on multiplatform games, I think it's easy to see why the 360 SKUs tend to be ahead of the PS3 SKUs. twitter tyme
February 16, 200917 yr SKU - Suckage Kurrency Units? No, that's just "Stock Keeping Unit". It's not a PS3 specific term. Each version of your product is an SKU (or a SKU, depending on how you pronounce it). Yeah, the real problem with the PS3 is that it's much harder to port to than port from. If you obey the memory partition for the PS3 version, you can use the same memory layout on the XBox 360. If you write SPU code first, you can run it (albeit slower) on the Xenon with little modification. If you try to port from the 360 to the PS3, you'll probably struggle to fit your non-graphics stuff into main memory, and unless you were lucky enough to design SPU friendly data structures (i.e. plan ahead), your game will really chug until you can convert enough of your code to run on them. Couple this with a one year head start, and the user unfriendliness of Sony's tools at launch, and you've got people who are already familiar with the 360 and want to put off working on the PS3 version. At this point I think Sony's made incredible progress, and the PS3 tools are awesome, but what do I know? I always liked working with the PS3, so I'm biased.
