Quantum Theory To Convince Third Party Developers

You may have heard of a game called Quantum Theory that Tecmo has been developing exclusively for the PlayStation 3. It is said to be a Gears of War rip off, but who would not want a Gears of War type of game on the PlayStation 3? When you look at what the developers have said about the PlayStation 3, it seems like third party support might make a quick turnaround, in this case, because the PlayStation 3 is the more powerful console.

Making a game is not easy; developers began by developing their games on the Xbox 360 first, and then porting it over to the PlayStation 3, most likely to end up as a bad port. Now, many multiplatform titles are being developed on the PlayStation 3 and then ported over to the Xbox 360 making the games nearly identical. Developers have stated that when they start on the PlayStation 3, they can make a better multiplatform game because they do not have to worry about porting from Xbox 360 to PlayStation 3. What happens when developers get passed the “strange architecture” of the PlayStation 3 and utilize its power? The outcome is incredible and this allows for more “revolutionary” titles. Sony’s first party developers have shown us the light with the power of the PlayStation 3 and what it can really do. They have even stated that they can produce a more powerful game than Killzone 2 which is already the best looking title to date. All it takes is hard work and you will get a promising outcome that was well worth the time and effort.

So how can Quantum Theory convince third party support? Well first off, the game is exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and is made by a third party developer. Now if this game turns out to be a great game and follows what Tecmo has said about it not being half assed, it could possibly convince third party developers to take more time to learn about the PlayStation 3’s potential. If developers feel that they can produce a better game on the PlayStation 3, they will choose the PlayStation 3 as their lead platform. This will also end the “bad port” era for the PlayStation 3 and possibly lead to more exclusives for the console. Just look at Metal Gear Solid 4, it is a third party game but in this case, the developers were highly skilled in this area whereas you have Tecmo that has never developed a shooter before. If Tecmo pulls this off, it could change the future of our games.

I hope 3rd party Devs start making more PS3 exclusives that use the power of the PS3 too!
