More On PS3 and Xbox 2

Posted by michael on Tuesday January 25, 2005 @07:49AM from the controllers-now-twice-the-size dept.

News for nerds writes "The BBC has news about the next-generation game consoles, with comments from various third parties. According to Rory Armes, studio general manager of EA in Europe, they have already received the development kits from Microsoft, but not yet from Sony and Nintendo. He assumes Sony's PlayStation 3 will have a little more under the hood and be more cost-efficient than Microsoft's Xbox 2. Gerhard Florin, head of EA in Europe, remarks 'PS3 will provide graphics indistinguishable from movies.' Spider-Man 2 or Toy Story 2, that's the problem."

Development on OS X is great.

If you say so. Development on OSX is frustrating because of one thing. There is virtually zero documentation.

APIs are half-published. Example code is poorly written. And Apple prevents google from indexing their developer site so finding the little information that *is* published is a pain in the ass.

Developers coming from MS (with their tons and tons of documentation on MSDN) are going to be pounding their heads against the wall and finally giving up.
