[Dev] Overtaxation of PC Hardware

[bsphil]

Got word back from Yoshida about the changes that they're planning to implement. Like I assumed, there aren't concrete details on what precisely is being done that I care share, but he said that along with the PS3 version development, they are performing optimization work to overall the core engine to make improvements.

Hmm, sounds a bit like the "fix" for UI lag shortly after release. Forgive me if I don't hold my breath over this, one of the most vague of all statements. Only way it could be less specific is if you just said "there are plans to make it better".

Why can't details like that be shared, out of curiosity? It's not an upcoming game feature, it's not a storyline spoiler, it's just an update to the game engine. Why the veil of secrecy over something we won't have the source code for in the first place? If they're just trying to keep it a surprise, don't worry, the only real surprise will come when the game runs smoothly for once and can open/navigate UI menus without a half second delay.

Not going to sit here and argue with you when 349 posts in this topic say otherwise, so please provide proof this game ever worked on PS3 and that the reason we are having so many issues is due to a bad port. Pictures or articles from SE would be nice, as I have not seen any. As far as we all know development was done side by side and SE just has no clue how to optimize for proper PC hardware usage. The data also suggests that the current client uses to much RAM and that is why it does not run on the PS3, other than that we know nothing more about PS3 functionality, especially when most 60GB users already replaced there current HDD for something bigger.

The game was working back in 2010, the only problem was that the game is so resource heavy that the 256MB RAM and 256MB VRAM on the PS3 couldn't hold all of the info needed to keep it running smoothly. Texture quality needs to be compressed down and it will only run at 720p, if not lower.
