EALA "Maximizing The PS3" For Medal Of Honor
Medal of HonorWe know EA is using the PlayStation 3 as the lead development platform for Medal of Honor, but did you know the team has completely embraced the system's available power?
Or so they say. While Guerrilla Games say they can continue to squeeze more out of Sony's console, EALA creative director Richard Farrelly told CVG that the new MoH "maximizes what the PS3 can do." As they remind us, this comes not long after Platinum Games' Shinji Mikami told everyone that leading with the PS3 for Vanquish allows their project to reach "a certain standard." Said Farrelly:
"We're leading on PS3, we've developed the game on PS3. We're working hard to deliver the exact same experience across all platforms. I think for me the most important thing is for everyone that plays Medal Of Honor is satisfied... I guess the benefit to the PS3 owner is that we're leading on it, so we'll maximise what that platform can do for our game."
It all depends on how you interpret that quote. Personally, I think it sounds like the team has a set image and concept and they know the PS3 can bring that image and concept to fruition. It doesn't necessarily mean they're diving into the system to drag every possible advantage out of it, as first-party developers tend to do. Remember, he does say they have to make it identical across all platforms, so... Anyway, we're all very interested to see how this one will turn out.

Medal of Honor redefined FPS's back in the day. Here's hoping they can do the same with this iteration.

But the maximising of the PS3. I bet it is very easy to do with a poorly written piece of code.
I want the best quality games rivalling Uncharted 2, Killzone 2 or God of War 3. I don't care if they can achieve this with only 30% on the PS3 power utilized.
I want results not empty statements.
Take care.

But I highly doubt they will be maximizing the PS3 if both versions come out looking the same.

I ask this of my fellow commentor's: When will we see a multi-plat game that is developed to the max on the PS3 and then left alone for the PS3 release? Which would then mean it would clearly be best played on the PS3.
Why can't we see this? Will this be the 'next big deal' with gaming? Sort of like an exclusive timed release? I like this idea I must say.
Stay classy PSX

If not, all they are doing is attempting to get PS3 owners to spend money on their game.
PS3 first, port the 360 to 3 discs later.
End of story.

I'm sorry, if you think you "maximizing" the PS3 and you want to deliver the exact same experience across all platforms? Not gonna happen.

To hopefully help better understand, what I think he is saying in the quote is, they are using the PS3 as the lead platform to get the most out of there game. I dont think he is ever saying they will use every ounce of the ps3' power, nor is he saying it will be better looking than any other game on the ps3. When he said "I guess the benefit to the PS3 owner is that we're leading on it, so we'll maximise what that platform can do for our game." that kind of clarifies that. He's simply saying the ps3 can do for there game what they want to achieve, and are basically saying they are taking advantage of that opportunity the PS3 gives developers.
