Dave Cox - "Console Comparisons Bollocks"



Well said. It only stems from fanboys who have one or the other console and feel the need to justify it, but it manages to get serious sometimes. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow producer Dave Cox is a bit sick of it, especially when the studio's upcoming title is coming to both Xbox 360 and PS3, with PS3 being the lead platform:
“It’s certainly not about one console being superior to the other."

“This argument is bollocks, frankly; it’s about making the best of what both machines are good at and focussing on that because, believe me, both machines are a challenge to develop on no matter what you are doing.”

“It is very important to me that no version is inferior. If you develop for Xbox 360 and port to PS3, or indeed vice versa, you can end up with a game that is great on one but lousy on another.”
Cox did state however, that when making multiplatform titles, including Lords of Shadow, comprises always have to be made in certain areas. Read the full interview with Cox, here.
