Is the ps3 version just a port?

[MARNEY]

Rumor is Blacklight was developed 1st for pc & M$ xbox. My question is: Is the ps3 version just a port? Did you develop independently for the ps3 version?...i hope it's not just a port,because that usually doesn't turn out well...:confused:

I don't mean to start a console war, but blame Sony for making it harder to develop on the PS3...at least thats the excuse I hear most when it comes to porting from xbox/pc to ps3.

But don't worry. Games that are ported to PS3 run just fine. >_> Its not anywhere near the horror that peole make it out to be.

From what I understand back in the day when they started making the game

It was meant as Xbox Live Arcade game mainly

But with PS3 doing a lot better sense late last year and right now there is a solid online market for PSN community and PC which will be at a later time if there is enough enthusiasm for it

I'm not trying to troll here but can someone give me an example of a bad port to PS3?

This won't be just a port (not sure what that is either, but it won't be one).

Zombie Studios has already said it may take 4-6 weeks but thats because they "want it to be GOOD!"

here's a link. 2 year old story. it's my understanding that the ps3 isn't "harder" to develop for, it's just different to program for. in the early days developers had little incentive to invest in the platfom, & at least initially sony, didn't make it easy for them to do so. things have changed since then i guess... (not trying to start a console war...)
