Factor 5 developing exclusively for PS3.

Quote:

In the wake of the consoles' unveiling, some developers are already leaning toward one platform.

"I was shocked by how powerful the new consoles are," said Julian Eggebrecht, president of the San Rafael, Calif.-based game development company Factor 5. "They should really free our development."

Eggebrecht said his company--which developed "Star Wars: Rogue Squadron" for Nintendo's GameCube--would create games exclusively for Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3.

The choice boiled down to performance, Eggebrecht said at E3 in Los Angeles. His company has worked with Microsoft's Xbox 360, but found PlayStation 3's 3.2GHz Cell chip offered more processing power. The additional performance allows the gang at Factor 5 to more easily simulate the real world for a better game experience, he said.

Also interesting, if true:

* ' KILLZONE ' SCEE
The FPS which designates the battlefield of the near future wind as the stage. Production is splendid e.g., the companions who, fight together speak. As for production Factor5.

Say what you will of Factor 5's games, but man, if they're working on the engine and technical side of Killzone along with Guerilla, that shit actually has a chance of turning out looking like the trailer.

Either way, good news.

Where did that translation come from? Because I only see Guerilla Games on the actual linked page.

Yeah, I just realized they changed it.

The first part of the post is still true, though.

Made you a crappy Star Wars game and perhaps some sound drivers?
They also made me a sandwich, but I think they spat in it before they gave it to me.

I overstated my earlier claim based on scientific research. Rogue Leader > Only 97% of the Xbox library.

Yeah, Rouge Leader was mediocre at best. Now if you would have said Wave Racer we could be in buisness.

SO glad you fixed it. Otherwise, we might have been witness to your first mistaken claim regarding the XBox ever.

See, you did your math wrong Yoshi, you were supposed to subtract 97% from 100% to get 3%, and not 3% subtracted from 100%.

Which means it is really Rouge Leader > Only 3% of the Xbox Library.

But you already said Rouge Leader > 97% of Xbox's library, thus making your opinion completely void.

Was under the impression that Yoshi's opinion was void just because of the opinion's source.

Agreed. That's one of the reasons it wasn't 100%.
