Dany No Likey PS3's Bad AI - PS3 No Get SC: Conviction

[kagai]

From an interview with Dany LePage via gameplayer.com.au. Original Article here: Gameplayer.com.au Splinter Cell: Conviction Interview

So, Conviction is confirmed for PC and Xbox 360. But what about the other consoles? Double Agent was a 360 exclusive for a whole week. On this issue, Danny could give us a firm answer. “It’s NEVER gonna come out on the PS3 or the Wii.” It’s a logical decision. Nintendo’s console simply doesn’t have the graphical horsepower, and he candidly told us how the PS3 can’t handle AI nearly as well as the 360.

I thought the PS3 could do great AI. Is this just some positive 360 propaganda/PS3 dissin' on Dany's (or, through him, Ubisoft's) part? Seems unnecessarily inflammatory or is he right? I'm hoping one of the more technically savvy among you can shed some light on the veracity of his statement. Later.

Dany soundy a little stupid. Dany soundy likey he no know how to program AI.

[GTAce]

Good one!

Funny stuff!

[Passive]

Poor Dany, he lack AI

[Sephiroth_VII]

Dany not like cell!! Cell is stupid more-than-one-core chippy, and the cores are strange, and Dany not know how to write AI for it. three six zero is good console, chippy is easy.

[OG_Monkey]

Who the hell is Dany? He knows nothing

[hybridofsteel]

Why can't he just be honest and say that he's lazy and the PS3 lacks satisfactory sales figures.

[Luis]

Don't worry, Mr. Lepage: my money will go to Hideo Kojima's pockets. Not that you ever had a chance with your mehtastic series though.

Oh, and in before Conviction is inevitably ported no matter what. This is Ubisoft.

[makeitlookreal]

AI can run GREAT on the PS3.

Of course if you don't care to optimize your code it will not work well at all.

[Raitei]

danny so.. fire bad.. women good.

[Passive]

danny so.. fire bad.. women good.

LOL!

then why does he like the 360 so much?

[kagai]

You guys are hilarious!

[kagai]

After thinking about it, I think it is more a problem of the money (resources) going into a PS3 version not equaling the money they would get out of it. So, instead of just saying we don't want to commit the resources necessary to put out a great PS3 version, they just blame the hardware. I just don't understand the badmouthing!?!

[GTAce]

Its Ubisuck lol.

It isnt the first time they say some shit like that.
They already said "Splinter Cell isnt achievable on PS3" lmfao.

[OG_Monkey]

really, if they wanna make games for the 360 go ahead. Everyone already knows Tom Clancy Games are always best on the xbox anyway. But just dont come up with lame excuses as to why your not doing it.

[Viper]

I can't imagine why he'd lie. He gains nothing from it. If they just don't want to port it to PS3 then a simple, "We don't want to port it to the PS3" would suffice.
What are the chances he speaks some truth?

I agree that I've read many times the PS3 is well suited for AI but perhaps the method they are doing AI doesn't work well on PS3.

Cp, is there any circumstances where the AI could run better on X360 than PS3? Or is this guy just talking out of his money hatted ass?

I agree that I've read many times the PS3 is well suited for AI but perhaps the method they are doing AI doesn't work well on PS3.

I'm guessing that's the case.

[rob the slob]

Wow, you guys are angry. Its just video games guys. :evillaugh

[Epix]

Wow, you guys are angry. Its just video games guys. :evillaugh

Fail.

[curryking1]

Really? People don't usually laugh like this when they're angry, if I remember correctly
