Game developers waiting before making games for PS3 |
Ó
Jamil Moledina of the GDC told GamesIndustry.biz that many game developers are planning on waiting for a while before getting into PS3 projects. It's quite challenging to make a game for the PS3 because the PS3 is complex when compared to other platforms.For example, the multi-core Cell processor as well as the graphics systems can all be intimidating. A developer has to invest time, money, and people to learn how to work with the PS3's structure.
"It's always a challenge for developers to dedicate resources to next-generation titles," said Moledina, "consider the cost, resources, and time it takes to make these games."
According to Moledina, a lot of developers are actually looking into the handhelds: PSP and DS titles are easier to make. In other words, the handhelds give developers the chance to do a "much simpler" transition from the sixth generation era of the PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and Dreamcast.
When will we expect more games? When Sony really starts supporting third-party developers. Right now, the bulk of Sony's efforts have been helping developers that are part of the Sony company umbrella (divisions, departments, and Sony-owned studios) - the so-called first party developers.
Moledina also said he is confident the PS3 will be a success. Yes, a lot of the games aren't launching yet, but it's like the PS2 launch. Things will pick up.
