Petition Started Over 'SKATE' Framerate Issues for PS3

A petition over at EA forums has been started for EA to resolve the terrible framerate issues that plague 'SKATE' on the PS3.

EA in an effort to use the PS3's extra power decided to up the graphics for the PS3 version, however there plan backfired as the framerate issues actually make the game unenjoyable, and at times unplayable.

[ps3FTW]

Great a new petition this make PS3fanboys look bad.

[Thugbot187]

Petitions over games is just stupid, because most of these people are still buying the game and putting money in the publishers pocket. If anything boycot buying the game that makes more sense. At least when the publish isn't selling games they realize the fans are dispointed.

[radzy]

this is the ps3's fault. go petition sony.
petitions are for little kids by the way.
ha ha ha

[SmarterThanYou]

tons of companies managed to get their PS3 games running at top speed and at 1080p. it's EA lazyass job that caused this.

[bluebrad1974]

how many sh*tty games is going to take before everyone figures out that the ps3 is a blu-ray player and not a game machine.

[UnasFortuna]

EA is unfortunately known for unforgivably bad ports... even bad games in general. I have not seen them make a game yet that didn't have noticeable bugs...for any system. Their work for the PS3 however seems to be the worst. A petition will do nothing to them. They are already rated unsatisfactory by the BBB and these guys think they care about someone who shelled out money to support their bad work. I personally have not bought an EA game in years due to this fact. Luckily the upcoming HL2 is only being published by EA... the port should be fairly bugfree. If you want to hurt them, don't buy their goods. Sony should step in however and refuse to publish such a bad piece of work.

@explosneer: [email protected], didn't know that... looks like will have to buy the PC version. Really is too sad.... such a great game.

[Idmpc]

They were already making crap games for PS3 before, but now that Peter Moore is working for EA, we'll never see a good PS3 version of any of their games XD
...Jokes aside, they really should do something about their PS3 dev team, because they really don't know what they're doing

[xplosneer]

Valve made the 360 and PC versions of TOB, but the PS3 version was shifted to you guessed it EA UK team. :(

[lawman1108]

TOO Fing FUNNY ahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha ahhahahahahhahahahah

[Sayai jin]

Hmmm. Sony needs to initite to EA that they will not accept the game in this manner. This will go a lot further than petition.

[MikeGdaGod]

EA doesn't care about the PS3 or its owners.

this isn't new. why do you think they got rated unsatisfactory by the Better Business Buero?

[TeaDouble_E]

don't support EA.

[Megaton]

Agreed. I personally haven't supported EA since they canned Thrill Kill for PS1 after buying out the company that was making it.

EA not being able to make a PS3 game with a decent framerate just shows that, for the most part, their developers are two-bit hacks. I'm scared to think about how The Orange Box is going to turn out, being caught in the clutches of EA.

[macsto]

it's funny you say that, because the game in your avatar has even worse framerates on the PS3 (heavenly sword) Maybe we should stop supporting them too?

[mclazyj]

Why would you worry about the Orange Box. It is developed by Valve. Totally independent of EA. They are only using them for retail distribution. And if you hate EA that much, just buy it on Steam. Either way, the game is the same.

[smturner68]

The ps3 version of Orange Box is NOT being developed by Valve. Ea is handling the translation over to ps3. This won't be pretty.

[Bloodmask]

of the PS3 getting the "inferior" version of games.

The console with the bigger install base will "most often" be the primary version. This gen it is Xbox 360, last gen it was PS2. Last gen Xbox multiplatform games were most often PS2 "ports". This trend will only continue as the margin bw the two install bases continues to widen bc of the Halo 3 release. With the PS3 getting sloppy ports and hand me downs bc games producers don't want to deal with it's "unfriendly" architecture.

Once again Sony Extremists blaming everyone else. Blame Sony for using their crappy cell processor which will never see the light of day in the PC gaming market.

[xaphanze]

EA is crap and I dont see other companies doing the same with their ps3 games. I didnt even try to read what you said since I know it will have no meaning coming from a typical xbox 360 fanboy.
Be reasonable for once.

[MikeGdaGod]

so i guess the BBB are sony extremist too huh???

[WilliamRLBaker]

- Offensive language will not be tolerated and will result in temp or permanent ban.
- Personal attacks on other members will not be tolerated and will result in temp or permanent ban.

and i had to report it for that because wishing for someone to die and telling them to off them selves thats just...crossing the line
but other then that i agree with you you guys dont deserve weak games you deserve the best for paying for a product, Regardless of fanboy rettorec I believe in the customer is all ways right and if they buy a product it should work.

but i all so agree that sony and devs are the problem, sony for protraying a system to be more powerful then it is and then not supplying the right tools and enough of them soon enough, and devs being stupid and not optimizing a game right for the system, Any game can be optimized for a system weither it will be less or more dont mean squat the 360 and ps3 aren't that far from each other interms of power, and the devs could easily optimize the game for both systems instead of being lazy.

P.S:Someone said EA was the only company having problems thats actually a lie most all multiplatform games seem to be inferior on the ps3...because of inferior system? no because of lazy devs and sony not geting off its keester and providing the tools needed fast enough.

lol Bloodmask, how did you miss this article? Im sure your panties were in a bunch when somebody else found a trouble for PS3 article. EA, what did you expect?

[karlostomy]

ok i a so sick of the argument that developers like EA just aren't doing the PS3 justice.

Get this..
in the last generation the ports were drom PS2-->xbox.
Get this..
ALL OF THE PORTS WERE as good as or better on xbox than ps2 because the xbox truly did have undisputed better hardware than PS2. It was just proven time and time again.

Yet now, even though PS3 SUPPOSEDLY has better hardware, the games are... time and time again... NOT AS GOOD AS 360.... even after MORE DEVELOPMENT TIME??

WHAT??!!!

come on ps3 fanboys
smell the coffee...

[jessupj]

"PS3 SUPPOSEDLY has better hardware"

I was hoping you were being sarcastic... The PS3 DOES have better hardware and is a far better manufactured concole. RROD, need i say more. It very sad actually, because the 360 is holding the PS3 back when concerning multiports. The PS3 SHOULD be shinning and SHOULD have better graphics and framte rates, but this generally isn't the case. Have you fanboys seen GT5? If you think there's even a single game that is better then that, then you honestly are bias towards the 360.

If it wasn't for the 360, multiports for the PS3 would be looking a lot more like GT5. IMO, the 360 has ruinedd the PS3 to a certain extent and I'm not talking about sales.

The PS3 architecture is a lot more complicated, but companies don't care so much and won't spend that extra money for the extra time it needs for the port because of the lower PS3 install base. This is especially true with EA, basically not caring at all. Honestly, i hate EA almost as much as M$. Like many here I will avoiding their games as much as I can.

[karlostomy]

DUDE...!!!

Did you even get the gist of my post?
I don't think you even got any of what i was saying.

Thats right buddy. I was making a comparison between the supposedly superior hardware of xbox1- ps2.

In EVERY CASE the ports from ps2 to xbox1 were BETTER ON THE XBOX1 !!

and yet now..... the ps3 ports are crap....

perhaps it is time to blame the ps3 (NOT EA, 360, or evil M$)

wow... my argument is soooo simple.

WHy don't you just read my last two posts again?
smell the coffee PS3ers.

[gnothe1]

it's always EA's fault!! did you guys ever stop to think that maybe its the PS3. maybe its the engine EA uses, maybe that engine doesn't work well with the PS3 kinda like the Unreal engine!! it has to be something of the sort because EA has had plenty time with the system. so instead of building a completely different engine for the PS3 they just use their games an you guys a beta testers until they get the Ps3 engine perfected!!

[mustash2003]

The developers have had there kits since 2004. No other studio is having such major issues. No one. I will admit that thye ps3 is more difficult to programme than the 360, but its still no excuse.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I think Epic designed it around the 360's architecture. That makes sense because of GOW.

They're just trying to perfect it on the PS3 with UTIII. Personally, I think that game is going to be the best looking PS3 game this year. (or COD4)

[Robeezy]

Its really unacceptable how EA releases sub quality ports of the same game on the ps3. I don't own one but i would be pretty pissed at EA if i did. There is no reason for them to do this. If its not right before release then don't release it until it is, period.

[macsto]

@mustash2003

Have you not played Heavenly Sword? Lair? EA didnt make them games did they?

[dragunrising]

Did anyone ever tell you that Lair sucked...alot? Lair also suffers from some pretty bad frame rate issues.

[macsto]

You should try reading my post correctly, I didnt say lair was good, I said lair and heavenly sword have frame rate issues and no1 is calling them "lazy".

This just proves its a PS3 problem

[jessupj]

I find this sort of statement halarious. Because if there's any games on a concole that have poor frame rates, it can't be the developers fault...

It must be the PS3's fault!!

IF the PS3 had a problem then every single game would have issues. Like I said before, just look at GT5 and MSG - they work fine, hense the PS3 does not have an issue (it just might be hard to program for).

I would appriciate if people would desist making these thoughtless and bias statements.

[macsto]

And you have played GT5 and MGS? HA! Yes it is a ps3 problem, and as you said, the ps3 is hard to develop for, that right there is the problem! When you have games working perfectly on a machine that is supposed to be lower powerd, and even EXCLUSIVE TITLES THAT SONY HAS BEEN HYPING fall in the same fate, then all signs point to PS3.

[jessupj]

"And you have played GT5 and MGS?"

Your arguement is full of holes, i just can't understand your logic. Please don't insult me by saying something like that. There are 100s of clips on the internet of GT5 and MGS. These games look amazing even though they're still in development. And harder programing it is not a problem, it is just a hurdle devs need to overcome.

You wanna know what IS a problem?... RROD

[InMyOpinion]

There were hundreds of nice clips of Lair as well, and it still turned out to be sh#t.

I don't believe in watching demo-trailers on the internet, I believe in playing the game myself.

And no, it's not only EA's ports that su(k. Most of Activisions titles have also been inferior on the PS3(Tony Hawk, Spiderman 3 etc). COD 3, not made or published by EA but still inferior. DIRT from Codemasters, same thing (the graphics engine for that one was developed in a partnership with Sony).

oh another problem brought to u by the guys from EA ....

EA sux

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Eletronic Arses. Just stop buying their half arse products full of bugs. I stopped buying anything from EA since they fvcked up with Battlefield series.

[felidae]

the framerate issues are not that bad .. only sometimes when a lot of stuff is happening on screen and only for 1 or 2 seconds

lol.

[chasegamez]

so i look 4 anything
lol

[wangdiddy82]

the only game i buy of ea is madden.. and i have no problems with my madden 08 and i can say its way better than what the 360 had its first year.. Madden sucked a$$ on the 360 its first year.. Ps3 actually got a decent madden to play its first year...

[chasegamez]

Fu*k skate it cheap a knock off
of tony hawk which is better
(reply) your right i cant stand EA
until they get there ps3 act together

[BlazeXXL]

I know that's your opinion, but I think Skate is 100 times more fun and challenging than Tony Hawks. I played the cr*p out of the skate demo n my ps3, it ownsss.

However, I agree with the fact that EA sucks major ass. Skate is a wonderfull game, but this crappy port situation is really starting to piss me off.

[Play B3yond]

Skate is way better than any tony hawk game ive ever seen. In tony hawk all you do is press x to ollie and you do the same tricks over and over again... Wtf is so fun about that. In skate you dont do the same thing twice and its always fun. It beats tony hawk any day

[wangdiddy82]

ea is only good for madden.. Nba live sucks.. Nba 2k is way better.

[bym051d]

I'm a big fan of the Burnout series. For that game, the PS3 is the lead platform. We'll see which of the versions of that game will turn out better.

[Grinchy]

I really wish people would stop with the petitions. It just makes them look daft.

I vote for a petition to stop the petitions.

I bought the PS3 version on day one. This article is bs because I have yet to see a noticeable stutter in framerate. This is either a bunch of MS fanboys making a stink, or a bunch of douchebags that don't know what they're talking about. I call BS BS BS.

The game runs fine, quit being a bunch of a--holes and go home to your mommies

[SofaKingReetodded]

this is nothing more than a shill post because Skate has no framerate issues on the PS3.

[540damn]

sometimes framerate drops so low you cannot complete the trick you are in the middle of.
i love the game, its so much better than tony hawk.
i will still play the crap out of it even though the framerate sucks.
EA are a bunch of lazy asses for putting out this game with such a horrible issue.
i would have waited how ever long it would have taken for a solid framerate.

[colony]

a game from EA? WITH FPS ISSUES!?

NOOOOO!?.... come on?! [taste my sarcasm]

btw does anyone care about Skate? i saw a buddy playing it on his 360... i seriously almoust fell asleep.. im not joking.

[Double-Edged]

well... proving ground SUCKS... oh man.. if you played the demo.. it's horrible.

I skate myself and love this game more than anything.
but dont hate on the game because you dont skate or just hate the fact that it has bad framerate issues.

it's like how people hate Madden.
or how people hate FPS
or how people hate JRPGS

blah blah blah.

you get my point.

[jack who]

we are sry the ps3 suck so bad we cant help you,petition all you want maahhahahhahahahha.

thank you.

[AdolfBinBush]

:O did EA really say that? LOL ps3 gamers just got OWND!!

[MikeGdaGod]

dude your avitar+name is HILARIOUS!!!!

[gunnerforlife]

they should just stop making games for the ps3 really ts not like we care about EA anymore

edit: bloodmask unlike the dream cast ps3 has enough support behind, in fact it has more support behind it then MS and Nintendo join together. to say the ps3 will be doomed without EA is very stupid of u.

[Bloodmask]

that EA has been the number 1 3rd party publisher in sales for years...just until recently when Activision took first. But EA will catch up.

To say forget EA is pure ignorance. The PS3 would be doomed for sure if EA didn't support it. EA not supporting the Dreamcast was one of the main reasons for it's failure.

[Double-Edged]

sucks major donkey balls.
I'd rather play project 8.

It is a good thing that a skating game like this is fun to play on my 360. I'm sorry for the those people who dont own a 360 because you will have to stay with PROJECT 8. which is all gooooood

[sandip787]

help me start a petition for me to recieve £1,000,000 from the government please!
i hear you can start a petition about anything these days!

back on topic, if it really is that bad, how did this even pass quality control?

i guess EA has no quality control on any of its products...

[P1MPDADDY]

Your the ones commenting about "We dont care" "Dont support EA" "EA dont care about the PS3" Boycott, file complaints, start accusations of conspiracy theories. Or just STFU already. You want the better versions of the game buy it for the 360 or just shut your traps you big babies. Damn!!!

PRAY B3YOND!!!

[Double-Edged]

what happened to all your bubbles?

although your comments are pretty harsh..you bubbles shouldnt be reduced to 2.

I'll add bubbles to you though.
Kudos.

[Apocalypse Shadow]

becoming quite the extremist are you?calm down and have a donut or a cookie.you'll feel better.

you know as well as everyone else that EA are lazy developers.and it takes some stiff competition to get them to push themselves.they have every right to be angry that they are not getting the best from this company.

i've boycotted mostly all their games because they don't come out being the best they could be.if they didn't have companies like criterion under their belt,they would be in a lot of hurt.

even EA themselves said they are used to 360 development and are concentrating more on it than ps3.so why do they deserve money from ps3 gamers?they are the biggest third party dev with the ability to aquire the knowledge they need.they got money!

it was the same with xbox and ps2.anyone buying EA games on xbox could see that it was just ports from ps2.with little attempt to make them any better.

if that cookie doesn't help,go work out to releave that stress.it's only videogames.

mag lev.................

[ALMIGHTYPS3]

and go finish your lame azz fight>F*N PUTO!!!

[stuntman_mike]

also they take the p*ss by making ps3 users wait another 3 weeks or more to bring out a shoddy conversion; what gives.

it dont seem like they can even turn on the machine let along programme for it.
its not just EA, ubisoft are at it too!

if its so hard to make games for maybe they should all go get some more lessons or not make games on it lol

[IRONMAN_X57]

ea sux, no jke

[ALMIGHTYPS3]

send a ps3 dev kit or dev team over to EA/M$ PLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get those fn dumbots outta there!!!!!!

@SageFrancis>agreed>bub bles for you!!

[SageFrancis]

For you morons saying its the PS3's fault? How is it? How is it that Insomniac can get R&C running at 60fps at 1080p? How is it that Naughty Dog can get Uncharted running at 60fps at 1080p?

How is it that LOADS OF OTHERS can get their games running at 60fps and 1080p but the monkeys at EA can't do jack?

EA ARE LAZY AND POOR DEVELOPERS.

They've become such a big cash cow now that putting out titles that look nice and finished but play like sh1t is acceptable.

Look at NBA 08 for the Wii, 3/10 by GS because they are lazy and just rushed to get the game out.

I was tutored at college by a former Rockstar employee and he told me all the problems they have at EA and most of the time they still release games unfinished because they have dates to hit and if they don't hit the dates to release they lose more money actually pushing back the game than they would paying their employees to work longer and getting the game finished on time.

[wil4hire]

Every other developer has managed to learn from their mistakes, and produce HD fluid framerate games. I wonder if there is some sort of negative relationship between EA and Sony.

The Better Business Bureau has several complaints from consumers & EA's products. I think its just a case of they are so huge, why do they need to appease anyone outside of their investors?

The framerates for MULTIPLAYER (when watching others do the tricks) are terrible on both systems. Even the 360 fanboys can agree to this. Its almost unplayable. EA doesn't care about quality clearly.
