Finally, it appears as though a developer is taking the right approach when producing games for next-generation consoles. After almost a year of poor ports and all sorts of discussions about how multi-console games looked worse on the PS3, owners of Sony’s latest home console can breathe a sigh of relief.
Infinity Ward, the developers behind the highly acclaimed Call of Duty 4: Modern Warefare, admitted in an interview that they had their best coders working on the PS3 version of one of this holiday's most anticipated games.
"We had our best programmers on the PS3 [version of Call of Duty] and it shows," commented Infinity Ward studio head Vince Zampella.
This has also been part of the reason why Sony's version of the game has a bigger online capacity (24 maximum vs. the 360's maximum of eighteen) as well as better visuals on the PlayStation platform.
"We had two separate teams working on both versions from the start," Zampella says, adding, "Most developers only focus on a single platform, then quickly port the game over to another one. You don't get very good results that way".
This bit of information is reassuring, as hopefully more and more developers will start developing equally for both platforms and even feature the PlayStation 3 as the lead platform. Also interesting is that most of the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare TV spots also exclusively promoted the PlayStation 3 version of the game.

Ohh best developers for the PS3 version of COD4? yea right!
When ever i click 'Play Online' it says exactly - "Unable to connect to Activision Matchmaking ( Error 33 )
PS3 version has 24 max?
online worx fine for me, except it takes a while to get into a match. they need to upgrade their servers. ranking system is excellent, but it doesn't seem to want to save the name i give my custom classes, sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't , it's no big deal though doesn't affect the gameplay.
psn id: gingo... a lot of other developers need to do the same as infinity ward they are now my third favourite developers behing insomniac and naughty dog
24 max? i didn't know that, what mode is this in?
I do have to admit that COD4 on the PS3 does look sharp. When it released I was thought "yes, and then haze will give me even more braging rights!".....then WHACK...smacked with a delay
Infinity is one of the best companies in my eyes because they were able to throw all that nonsense aside and deliver with the better version being on PS3
This is one of the best games I've ever played. I'm actually going to play it right now! (But I didn't know it had 24 online max....) lol I think the article writer made a goof up.
It makes sense. This is how it should have been all along.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad that PS3 has gottin somthing Alot better than the stupid 360!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Infinty ward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sonds cool infinity ward
PS3 owners should start buying games. A jump in software sales would be great. In a Universe of 5.000.000 console, R&C only sold 75.000. We won't go far if we don't change this.
If coD4 does not sell well on the PS3, why should they waste resources next time?
wow, kinda nice to hear. with the momentum in our favor. maybe we'll get this treatment on most games in the future
well its about time a thirt party dev brings the same if not a better quality of game to the ps3.... shame on you other lazy devs!!!
what happens when your controller battery complete dies? do you get a replacement or you got to buy a new one
That just shows you the talent they have for working on both versions. Having the best is always nice however. XD
ps3 version is 18 not 24.
Ground War carries the max: 18 players
Danny Ramos here, I'm just going by the news article, sorry for the mistake if thats the case
@Limanima:
If they start making good games, it will change. So far there really isnt anything out for the PS3 that is worth buying, Nothing but a buch of mediocre games with good graphics. The same rehashed gameplay as every other game for every other console, with better visuals.
this is the BEST GAME EVER!!!!
"TV spots also exclusively promoted the PlayStation 3 version" then why every single trailer and developer-spot and published gameplay is played on x360 and promotes
XBLive ?? And why didn't they run a public beta-test on PS3?
Right now Im playing Call of Duty 4, and UT3...both are superb - not quite as good as Crysis - but nothing I've seen is. I am amazed at the current crop of games - they are absolutely fan-funcing-fantastico!
everything is great about the game the only flaw i have come across is the lobby system i get bored when i get kicked out and have to wait ike an eternity to get bAck in
Very nice. THe kind of news you will never see on a PS3 hating website like gamespot
Show the others the way INFINITY WARD.If the others carry on with this then we will soon know exactly what the ps3 is capable of, and also its superiority over the other next gen consoles will be well marked.Keep up with the good work INFINITY WARD.
