Which console was The Darkness developed on?

GamePython · 10/Jun/07, 03:29 PM

I would like to no which console The Darkness was developed on(PS3 or 360, i have both), because i carn't choose which console to buy the darkness on. They will prob look the same, i like the 360 controler the best, and i know the PS3 will fit more films on, because of Blue Ray. So the desider will have to be which does it run the best on. I thought it was developed on the PS3 but they show most gameplay on the 360. So does any 1 know which console it was developed on? because it should run the best on that 1. Or how you desided. Thanx for any replys. GREAT GAME WHICH EVER.

I must admit I'm not a game developer, shock horror, but I doubt it was as simply as making it on one then porting it to the other. I don't think that's how it works.

If I'm not mistaken the code is normally written in one Language such as C++ or C# and then they use APIs in order to communicate with the Console itself.

So I think games are often made independent of the platform itself, now that is more than likely false for Exclusive titles as there would be no need for that but I assume that what enables you to program for numerous platforms.

Feel Free to Tell me I'm Wrong

Also buying a Console based on one game is very short sighted, because believe it or not you will eventually get bored of that game.

Normally studios have a lead platform, recently this has been the 360. They then port the code to the other OS.

I am not sure about `The Darkness' but I would expect it to lead on the 360.

If it's on PC as well, I would guess 360. I'm not sure if it is though.

Achievements are always going to make me pick 360 over any other console.

Ye man, i've been leaning more to the 360 1. So i've preordered the 360 Darkness. Thanx for the help, people.
