It's been a common excuse for underwhelming early PS3 releases, but according to Infinity Ward, the developer of the Call of Duty series, developing the game on the PlayStation 3 was easy.
Many a developer has moaned at the complexity of the code behind sony's next-gen console, but there were no problems for Infinity Ward as they worked on the newly released Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
They put their success down to the fact that they do not dedicated more energy to one platform - and in fact spread out resources and split up teams to work on the game across the different platforms.
Prioritising one console over the other has resulted in many games being released earlier on one console, and later on another - with the PS3 release of certain games often coming after the Xbox 360 release.
The developer stated, “There’s obviously some problem with all the delays we’re witnessing. I think it’s just down to allocation of resources. I think maybe people feel that they’re resource strapped and feel a little bit more comfortable working on the Xbox 360 as it’s been out a little longer [than the PS3].”
“We haven’t had any problems [with PS3] and that’s probably because of our development philosophy. We develop content-agnostic so we don’t have a lead platform. We have a team working on each of the different versions and everyone else forms a team who makes the content platform agnostic.”

This is funny to me, not only is it a tripleAAA game but they say it was not hard to develope for, and it was not delayed, so whats wrong with these other developers........................................
And this game is perfect i must say.
The lesson from Infinity Ward: Stop the whining and just freaking make a good game.
It's good to here some devs aren't totally weak.
This is what happens when you don't let yourself be consumed by stress for developing a PS3 game. Moaners do nothing while go-getters do something.
I've heard no complaints from other top developers who haven't released the 'BIG' games yet...seems like it's the multi-platform BIG companies who do all the whining!!! To think, that EA has big powerplants around the world with so many highly competent programmers...you'd expect them to release perfect playing games in no time (mostly for sports games anyway!). COD4 is definitely on my b4 xmas list! And so is Uncharted...if they release a Collectors Edition! Ya tay!
If one company says this why can't the rest? Enough excuses..
Thats good, but seriously cod4 is overated.
Nice to hear from infinity ward, developers should do more of what infinity has done, and make the game experience on the ps3 more enjoyable
This just proves that companies like EA are just lazy and will follow whoever can make them the most money at the time.If sony ever gets back on top i hope they make EA pay for making terrible ps3 games i.e. framerate then blaming it on the hardware.Blackball them sony.
Good to hear stuff like this. I might try out CoD4 just because they finally moved from the WWII scenario. I don't normally like war games like these but it might be worth a shot, since it's supposed to be better than GRAW2 and I liked the GRAW2 demo.
itz been a year...and now developerz want 2 say....hey itz not that bad 2 develope for the PS3.....Square-Enix, Konami, and Insomniac been pushing sayin itz different and the PS3 can make our dreamz a reality!!
This is why games like COD4, RFOM, Motorstorm, Ratchet and Clank Future, GTA4, MGS4, Killzone 2, GT5 and more are all great or going to be great games, because the developers are not afraid to get there hands dirty and put effort into developing the game, while others (EA) just wine about problems there having, instead of trying to find a solution.
I hate to sound like a wet rag but...... source?
this is the third arcticle today, where a dev said ps3 development is easy or fun. SO all that bad press earlier on, was probabley devs feeling stressed on the new hardware.
a slap on the fat face of gabe newell, that f***ing fat bastard.

its kinda nice hearing news like this. keep it up!
All I have to say is this game is absolutely Incredible!
excellent developers right here no doubt about it :)
@Drazden... did you even read the post at all??
"our development philosophy. We develop content-agnostic so we don’t have a lead platform. We have a team working on each of the different versions and everyone else forms a team who makes the content platform agnostic"
Hmmmmmmm, now there's a thought......It may just work.
this is the answer to the game delay issues. "Prioritising one console over the other has resulted in many games being released earlier on one console"

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/27570.html PS3 and X360 comparasion, finally they both look the same :D
The third installment of Infinity Ward Sh*% got these other developers looking real silly right now, this game really might be the game of the year, Kaboom!
psn id: gingo.... so that means every other developer who complained about the complexity of the ps3 is jus talking bs gratz to infinity ward for making a great game and coming out and refuting all these other developers that are complaining
this is what other developers really need to start doing. Kudos to infinity Ward.
good for you guys looking forward to your next project (ps3 exclusive I hope)
do they look the same graphic wise ? prob get it for my 360 then cause the xbox controller is more suited for shooter and racing games, PS3's gotta do something about their controller
Ilike the sound of this. Ps3 is becoming developper friendly.I have always believed that with time the ps3 will be a common play ground for developpers.Infact experience is the best teacher; isn't history repeating itself,where developers complained the same way about the ps2?Well time will tell.For now let's just enjoy the present ps3 releases and anxiously await the future killer apps like MGS4 , FFXIII and the mighty GoW3.
straight up....I"M OLD TESTAMENT. not many people play games but i will bad mouth EA for the rest of this generation for having bad frame rates. THEY ARE GREEDY CREEPS. infintiy ward shows respect to players, veterans, and there craft. EA and MICROSOFT are in merge talks - this framerate issue they fabricated will prove the nonsense....look up "peter moore" if you do not beleive.
