John O'Rorke, software engineer says that F.E.A.R 2 will not be a simple port. The will deal with some problems and they will use the experience of the development of Condemned 2.

I have to tell you, that's an epic avator picture u have. it's So hilarious .

[WANNA GET HIGH]

One again the ps3 will recive a crappy port.I dont know about u but i would rather buy killzone2 next year over fear2.I was in the beta and i can tell u that u will love the onine play.

Who agrees.?

[Danja]

the PS3 will just get the better inferior version ^.^..

since PC is the best platform for this game..

[tordavis]

I played FEAR 2 at E3 and trust me, your jaws will drop when you see this game. The devs said they will use the strengths of each system. Have no fear...

[PAPERCHASER0396]

Read it for yourselves........ John O Rorke(principal software engineer) at Monolith states "The PS3 version of Fear2 will not be a port We are working on all three platforms in parallel, whereas in the past we had staggered them developmentally."

This statement from O'Rorke is made in a full interview in PLaystation the official magazine January 09 read it for yourselves" books-a-million baby pick a copy up

Edit* And as for the problems with the Ps3 when asked he states " We intially did,but we jumped through those hurdles in Condemned 2. So by the time we were in full production on FEAR2 we had everything up and running."

[yaboi]

anything like the 1st one
thats 4 sho

[So Easy I Can Do It]

On!

[WANNA GET HIGH]

Im pretty sure my jaws will not drop as much as killzone2 made my jaw to drop.i am %100 sure of it.

[Max Power]

that it will be better, it just said its not a simple port.

[madmonkey0]

well all i can say is flame on.
just to get things started: we all know deep down the ps3 is the better console

[InMyOpinion]

Translation:

Developers: "The game will be better on the PS3"
Reality: The two versions will be identical

Developers: "Both games will be identical"
Reality: The 360 version will be superior

[fuzon]

and many multiplat games all looked better on PS3 and ran better on PS3 too

Mirror's edge got a better score on PS3 than x360

However any PS3 exclusive game >>>>>>>&a mp;a mp;g t;>Gears 2 or any crap box 3 fix me games

Uncharted 2

does it ring a bell Jenzo aka Blazing prophet aka SUCK BOX 360 owner

@YOMA

thats GEOW 2

the MP mode looks like sheer DOGSHEET

also the GEOW pic is a bit touched up

so u can imagine how backdated that CRAP BOX 360 is

[Yoma]

LOL IS THAT REALLY GEOW2?? OMG LOL I THOUGHT IT LOOKED BETTER!!!

[InMyOpinion]

I can agree on Burnout but the other games you mentioned looked identical aka "better on PS3" ;)

Here's a comparison of Dead Space:

Here's one for COD 5, which looks better on the 360:

[ambientFLIER]

1: Thank you for that awesome Gears shot.

2: COD4 is better on the 360. It has rumble, achievements, friends list, custom music, and a better controller.

3: Eat it, dork.

[Kleptic]

jenzo...if you can see a difference between the PS3 and 360 version of CoD 5...great...especially in that horrid video comparison to begin with...it would show 3 seconds of PS3 footage, then leave it on PC or 360 for a minute...both the PS3 and 360 are beasts at that engine...as cod 4 was identical on both as well (yeah you could do the retarded fanboy stuff where you zoom in on textures at point blank, and the 360 wins...or zoom in on shadow edges to check aliasing, where the PS3 version would have less...either way...it was irrelevant...they both looked great)...

in either case...I give a big old l...a...w...l at the Wii version...what a pointless joke of a console...I didn't even know there was a wii version...

[KitsuneNL]

I Agree. I changed the title :-)

basically their calming that the ps3 version is in terrible trouble and needs help.

[Harry190]

You are saying that you lack reading comprehension skills.

Claiming not calming.

[mjones1994]

I loved fear on pc but will i have the same love for it on a console.

[KitsuneNL]

It is good that it is not a simple port!

[panasonic23]

aahahahahahahahahahahhah

[KitsuneNL]

Do you have a example?

[InMyOpinion]

Prince of Persia.

[Shadow Man]

Well is commonly known that developers run in to trouble when developing for the PS3.

[fuzon]

all run better on PS3 and look better too

Not to mention that any PS3 exclusive game>>>>>>&g t;>>all suck box 3 fix me games

U2 is a generation ahead of Gears 2

[KitsuneNL]

You got a point there, but I think that there will be solutions for that in time

[Magic_The_Celt]

^^ Lol Jenzo man your awesome but i cant even be bothered reading your fanboy crap tonight.

Anyway, early 09? man its kind of sad but F.E.A.R 2 doesnt seem to have any Hype at all, i only just found out there is a F.E.A.R 2 wtf?

[Yoma]

Yeah, same..

[tordavis]

HD trailer for jaw droppage: http://www.thebitbag.com/20...

[qface64]

ahh fear this is gonna be a great game and i can't wait to get my hands on it for my ps3

[mrkeith]

man i hope the ps3 doesnt get the crappy port again. what the hell is with the ps3. sony needs to make the next playstation more developer friendly

[Harry190]

will be released around the same time. Why do you worry?

[Lombax]

It's a lil hard to understand that horrible "Google Translation" but it seems they developed each one separately for each console. Much like Infinity Ward did with COD 4.

[KitsuneNL]

Lombax you got right there. I can read it in Dutch ;-)

[KitsuneNL]

A piece of crap? Why do you think that?

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Make it on the PS3 and port it the other way...

...much easier.

Trust me. ;)

[Lombax]

Just ask the devs. They are already starting to do it that way.

[Aclay]

If F.E.A.R 2 turns out to be another sub-par PS3 port, then Killzone 2 will be the only shooter I get early 2009 and it's as simple as that.

In 2009, 3rd party developers aren't getting any of my money unless the PS3 version of a game is what it should be. If I'll have to buy just PS3 exclusives in 2009, so be it.... heck, with the amount of PS3 exclusives coming in 2009, I'd be happy just with PS3 exclusives. Go ahead 3rd party developers and make sub-par PS3 games because you'll only be saving me money for PS3 exclusives.

[Rich1631]

I have always wondered why the hell they don't do it the other way around. The only thing I can think of is that because PC and 360 development is so damn close, they figure they kill two birds with one stone by doing those first and then porting...but I still don't get it.

[OOG]

basically thats it.....360 is basically like developing for a pc......so easy to convert

[Lombax]

>.<

Since when does "separately developed" mean port?

[KitsuneNL]

Thats why the title is: F.E.A.R 2 will NOT be a simple port ;-)

[bviperz]

will be a PC buy for me.

[tordavis]

Just watch this HD trailer: http://www.thebitbag.com/20...

[OOG]

yeah I dont think a lot of people understand how badass this game is really going to be.....the first one was great and this one will be deadly.....

To all dont sleep on this game it will be saweeet

O and btw a bunch of people disagreed with me about Fear being almost as good looking as Killzone.........well check that video out and say differently...this game will be awesome.... and the Fear AI is possibly the best in a FPS.

[Batzi]

Those devs never learn.

[REPLOID24]

is muddier textures and crappy framerates for the ps3 version. sony dropped the ball with making this machine developer friendly. it kinda stings when a "less powerful" 360 kicks your butt most of the time (multi-plats). i'm starting to think it just isn't lazy devs afterall. i'll just shut up and enjoy the superior exclusives.

[free2game365]

I just hope the PC version doesn't end up sub par.
