Vanquish dev explains PS3 lead platform

Mikami: "If we can get Vanquish to a certain standard on PS3, we can make Xbox the same"
Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami has explained his decision to develop his new shooter, Vanquish, primarily on PlayStation 3.

According to the designer, working on Sony's box first will help avoid dodgy PS3 ports as seen in Platinum's other action effort, Bayonetta.

"The team know less about making games for PS3 than Xbox 360, so we thought the sensible thing to do was to make the game on PS3 first then move it over to Xbox," Mikami told PSM3.

"If we can get Vanquish to a certain standard on PS3, we can make Xbox the same."

Mikami revealed this morning that he is to form his own studio. Read more about the game - and see screenshots - in this Vanquish details roundup.

Read the full Mikami interview in PSM3, which you can buy online and have delivered to your door.

Good idea. This one looks a bit too good to have one version be far better quality than the other. Perhaps Valve should give this some consideration.

Does this mean it'll have to be gimped on PS3 just to make it work on a 360 like FFXIII was according to some people? Wink

It wasn't the bayonetta port that bothered me but the game itself, i was actually glad when i finished it cause it just dragged on and on and got boring, and the 5000th plus shots of her crotch, i mean seriously?! made me hate the game alil more, you japs really need to see a real women naked!
bunneyo on 17 Mar '10
I think it makes sense, as apparently the ps3 is harder to work for. So it might be quite the good idea :0
feedel on 17 Mar '10
No it means that you might get a PS3 version equal to the 360 version for once!

Makes no odds to me i never buy a multi platform release for the PS3 over pricing and under supported online functionality will always be more important to me than trying to count the polygans and pressing my face into textures to see if they crack!
DJ Mercenary on 17 Mar '10
the danger of this is that some content might be cut for the 360 version, as it doesn't have blu ray, e.g. Lost Planet 2.

svd_grasshopper on 17 Mar '10
i really don't see it matters which platform leads. if you go with the 360 you still have to optimise for ps3 at the end. if you with ps3 you have to optimise at the beginning. the ps3 is a sod to develop for and there's no way of getting round it. clearly some developers make a good fist of it though.
shellster2 on 17 Mar '10
Get some more experence working on the PS3 then! So instead of making a game that pushes the PS3's power, they are going to make a game that works on PS3 then port it to 360 (just like Burnout was).

I don't think that the 360 version will be gimped in anyway, it'll probably be identical to the PS3, but it p**ses me off that they can't be bothered to push the more powerful hardware like in FFXIII.

i think he means "number 1 b@stard platform to develop on".

Nope... they'll gimp it on the 360 to keep the PS3 fans quiet.

You need to actually read the Capcom statement on this.

CVG misquoted those comments to stir up a debate. Capcom did not actually use the words 'content was cut because of DVD capacity' they gave a whole list of reasons, including development time and DLC.

Grow up. These comments are clearly from naive youngsters. Bayonetta was excellent on PS3. The story was good, the characters are well developed. If you dont appreciate art and love FPS and God of War then I can understand how you would hate Bayonetta. Enjoy your simple minded games of garbage, youngsters. Yakuza>all
tailsthecat on 17 Mar '10
Interesting to see a Japanese take on a Western-style FPS

Looks like a cross between Halo, Killzone, Metroid and Populous 3

Number 1 in what then? And yes i would like some fool please, normally I wouldn't in wintery times as it's more a Summer pudding but what the hell, it's St. Patricks day after all
Conkers on 17 Mar '10
Stupid in all honesty.


Building for a platform you know little about will only lower the quality for the other platform.

I hate the PS3 is so hard to understand for developers.. so quality has to be lowered. ffs.
KMakawa on 17 Mar '10

Get a grip, you see the graphic fidelity of games like God of War 3, GT5, Unchated 2, Killzone 2, MGS 4, etc.

It's up to developers to get the best out of the system.

It's like me blaming Spain because i can't speak Spanish.

Ps3 sucks. fact, so get over it. Bottom feeders

No, it's opinion. Idiot!
Zero_Cool on 17 Mar '10
After the dodgy bayonetta port, it makes sense to develop the new game on ps3.
As long as it doesn't lower the quality of the 360 version, then there's no problem.

I think there's a few other developers who are deciding to develop with the ps3 in mind.

Zero by name zero by nature. And its the opinion of a hell of a lot of people and seein as ive had a ps3 i speek from experience when i say that its trash.

"Christ that grasshopper person is such a f**king dick, should go out and get himself a girlfriend or something along those lines."
Agreed^
FK1983 on 18 Mar '10
makes sense. It's a lot easier to make a game for the PS3 and port it the 360 than vice versa.

Sure it'll be a quality game on both systems anyway. Haven't played a bad platinum/clover game ever. Definately my favourite studio.

you get out the closet before you dish anymore love life advice out.
svd_grasshopper on 18 Mar '10
why is it grasshopper that when anyone implies you need to get laid you call them gay?

Deflecting attention away from your own inner struggle perhaps.
WHERESMYMONKEY on 18 Mar '10
no. anyone who gives out such 'advice' to an anonymous person on the internet must be kidding themselves. or trying to make themselves feel better...

they could be talking to hugh hefner for all they know.
svd_grasshopper on 18 Mar '10
they could do. annonimity is such a wonderful thing don't you think.

Still. You might want to heed the guys advice.
WHERESMYMONKEY on 18 Mar '10
why, will that kurb my posting while at work?

and of course hiding behind your "annonimity", you're a big stud. aint ya.

'hey look, i got a girlfriend. i made it ma!'

she's probably bound in your cupboard chomping on a gag-ball.
svd_grasshopper on 18 Mar '10

marty best way to keep em son lol Cool
bunneyo on 18 Mar '10
IF and that's a big IF - developers actually develop a game for the PS3 that utilizes a large amount of its processing power and takes advantage of Blu-ray then the Xbox360 cannot compete. Its been proven time and time again with releases such as MGSIV, Uncharted and Uncharted2, KillZone2, Final Fantasy XIII (which looks incredible on PS3 and just not good enough on Xbox360) and now, God of War III.

I would have thought that all of this nonsensical Bull**** about the Xbox360 being able to create better graphics, etc. would have dissipated by now. The fact is that it can't and no amount of hype from fanboys or M$ can change that....
