Speaking with Canada.com, Vancouver based Propaganda Games' studio manager and VP Josh Holmes had a few interesting comments about the development of their recently released Turok title. "The 360 version was pretty much complete in the November timeframe [sic]," Holmes said, "most of the team at the point was focused on polishing the PS3 version up to the standard of the 360." We remember playing Turok, which runs on Epic's Unreal Engine 3, at Microsoft's X07 in Toronto and being told that the game was nearly finished. When we asked the Propaganda Games PR team member about the progress of the PS3 version we were given a kind, "no comment." In filings for the Silicon Knights v. Epic lawsuit, Silicon Knights made claims that Epic had failed to deliver on the PS3 version of Unreal Engine 3, which, if true, lends credibility to developers playing catch up with the engine versus the Xbox 360. While we know both versions were being developed simultaneously and have heard both versions are nearly identical, this isn't the first time we've heard development teams point to Sony's system as the fault. We'd give you an example, but that would mean we would be comparing Grand Theft Auto IV to Turok and lets not go there.

I played the demo and had horrendous framerate issues (1080p). According to the kids at GameFAQs, only the demo has problems and the full game is much smoother.

The PS3 Demo Did SUCK, Compared to the 360 Demo, Which Also Sucked, But Not as Bad!
*PS3 Version was Too Dark, & the Gameplay felt way too loose, Compared to the 360 version.

Done with the 360 version since November? I have the game and the MP portion of the game still needs a bit of work in my opinion

I doubt much polishing went to the 360 version after November. Odds are all resources went into getting the PS3 version complete.

I just played through some of the 360 demo, I was not impressed. It looked dated and the gameplay was nothing special. This may be due in no small part that I just finished COD4 and to go from that game to the Turok demo was a huge let down!

Why can't they just release the 360 version when the 360 version is done, and release the ps3 version when the ps3 version is done?
I doubt Sony is paying them to hold the game back... what is a rational explanation for doing this?
