Comment PS2 Coding (Score 3, Insightful) 213
PS2 coding is *very very tough* if you want to get something that's fast. To get the best performance out of the PS2, you have to synchronise a lot of different hardware - it took us 18 months to get a decent engine written, and we're a team of experienced game coders. You have to understand that hardware backwards, and be aware of the various hardware pitfalls that exist.
It's a very, very, very difficult beast to code without using middleware, and that's expensive stuff.
