PS3 power just worked better for us says Tecmo dev

[Zeus]

One of Tecmo's most prominent developers has revealed that the PS3 just worked better when developing Quantum Theory. The dev also admitted that the upcoming shooter game is most comparable to Gears of War.



In an interview published today on Kikizo, one of Tecmo's most prominent development staff, Keisuke Kikuchi, said that PS3 "worked better" for them in developing the upcoming shooter Quantum Theory - but admits the game is most comparable to Gears of War.

"Initially, the game concept was built around this game being a PC game... the project was altered slightly, and we tested out the graphics and visual presentation on the PS3. And looking at that, we were pretty confident that we were going to be able to display and execute what we wanted to using the power of the PS3."

He explained that the environmental detail from the trailer was something they wanted to push, adding: "we just thought the PS3 worked better for us."

random , intelligent and worthwhile , words that could never be used to sum up your parents contribution to the gene pool.

Well said.

Also it would only benefit Tecmo and Sony to have a PS3 game that is "like Gears of War." It wouldn't make sense to have an imitation go against the real thing.

I'm just curious to see what kind of engine Tecmo will uses to match Unreal Engine 3.

[billysastard]

have tecmo made anything worthwhile (or original) since ninja gaiden and techm bowl on the nes?


i thought not, seems they are perfectly suited to the ps3 then however fail + fail dosent make a win any more than two wrongs dont make a right.



still capcom or sega or square should be able to buy the remnants of the company after they go down the toilet.

Wow Itagaki leaves, and next thing you know tecmo looks like a little chiwawa humping sony's leg :D well I guess we'll wait and see how this turns up, can't say I expect much from it, but I wouldn't mind being surprised.

what is this game? I looked up a trailer

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41082.html

and it looks like a shooter but the woman just has a sword. Looks fairly action-packed though.

The last Tecmo game I bought was on the Dreamcast...but this looks kinda interesting based on the trailer...of course alot of games look great in the trailer so I guess we will have to wait and see.

very true, anybody know a release date for this thing and does it actually have anything to do with quantum theory? would I be solving hamiltonians?

So do you concider, Motor Storm Pacific Rift, Hot Shots Golf, Socom, Warhawk or Valkaria Chronicles all failures too? Ninja Gaiden 2 outsold all of those by rather wide margins.

[dsav]

ng II a failure ? lol.

it's probably the best ninja game out there, well ngb is right there too but of course ng II has better visuals.

imo the upcoming ninja blade is pretty good aswell, but damn i guess ps3 isn't getting that either.

luckily i'm a ps360 owner.

OK? And.... your point is?

Gears of War 2 sold well, and look how much of a failure that game is. Apparently game sales determine whether or not a game is good, in that case you must be living fantasies.

As far as NG 2 outselling Motor storm... LOL... yea, it's been out for twice as long.

Oh but look at week 15, last recorded week for Motorstorm, it sure outsold NG2.

I would post VG chartz for you but i don't have 10 posts yet.

and 700k in a 3 month period that motorstorm sold compared to 900k that NG2 sold in twice amount of time is actually laughable. Apparently being outsold by 200k while having a 4 month lead is sure a wide margin.

EPIC FAIL!

I would think you would be smart enough to at least compare games that came out in the same time frame, but I guess not.

I don't know about it being a failure, but I think it's a much more shallow game than the first one. "OOOH Look at that flying body parts...." that seems to be to biggest attraction the game has. Maybe that's just me, but I just can't get into a game that's so full unnecessary gore.

What else other than sales do you base success of a title on? Warm and Fuzzy feelings? Based on that I guess I would call Resistance 2 a failure, IMHO it fell far short of the first, but I cant say it was a failure its sold very well so someone out there must like it.

You completely ignored the other titles..why? Is it because half of them had been out far longer than NG2. Dont get me wrong, I'm not a big tecmo fan, dont won NG2 myself..but its hard to deny that it didnt do fairly well.

Resistance was hardly a failure, just because the campaign story isn't set up as well as RFOM doesn't mean the whole rest of the game is a failure.

R2 basically 1UP'd everything from RFOM. Anything from graphics to online play.

How many 360 sequels were 1up'ed?

Halo? It wasn't even 720p = EPIC FAIL!
The graphics wern't updated at all, just High res textures added to Halo 2. Those high res texture aint even being hi res because of what I stated above.

Gears of War 1 was amazing in every aspect, Gears 2 came out and it still looks and plays the same, no upgrade what so ever.

Now Sony has killzone 2, and that 1 up'd KZ1 in ever department as well.

More of the same is basically a failure, progression is not.

If "basically the same" was a good thing, the atari 2600 would still be coming out with games, but that is not the case.
