RE: 9 Times Developers Screwed the Console Manufacturers

in #games7 years ago

yes. now engines allow broader builds so you can make games for mobile devices, consoles, or pcs, and the differences between each device in the same category is probably not as great as they were in the past. we still have exclusives that are completely based on a single platform. so i kinda like the current state of game development as well as where it's headed.

Sort:  

I prefer to look at the exclusives to see what a platform can do rather than look at cross platform games. I just don't think developers are going to put that much effort into optimizing for any one particular platform when doing cross platform. Instead, I see more developers holding back one version that could be clearly better so that the experience is "similar" across the board. Such a shame.

yea i see that happening, though some will put a little more weight on one targeted device.
but holding back is just laziness.
