"We saw the game demoed on a Xbox 360, why not the other platforms?

NC:...It's easier to wow people from the bottom up and continue to wow them."

..oof harsh words, but fair point.

Looking forward to seeing how the nano-suit will work with a controller though.

But I have my doubts. It's suppose to be equal on both platforms. That's how the dev kits work.

Shaman5812d ago (Edited 5812d ago )

Multiplats generally look about the same since they develop game on one console and then port it to other so they are not utilizing power of any platform.With Cryengine 3,code is written to scale performance on all 3 platforms in real time in sandbox editor,they have written code for 360 and ps3(spus) and when they are adding stuff while developing engine scales itself on platforms according to their power so that should remove crappy ports and limited power usage.

Looking forward to the game BUT I wish these guys would stop trashing the consoles. His comment " from the bottom up " was in regards to CONSOLE Vs PC...The bottom being CONSOLES, meaning ALL consoles....

Personally, going up against COD Black ops could be a do or die moment for them. On one hand, it releases the same month, so direct comparisons won't be made a month apart. On the other hand, Black ops looks incredible with a solid fan base. I'm worried for these guys.

Also, Halo Reach releases in September...Medal of Honor in October...So-com is in there somewhere....Brink sometime in the Fall, and of course COD...PLUS any E3 surprises...They have a serious line up of top notch competition...I think they should tone down the rhetoric...promote your game, stay away from comparisions...lol...just saying...

In regards to the PC, he states the the game will scale to whatever equipement/gear you have...meaning, if you have the best of the best, the game will look " amazing "....so says Crytek...

Black ops looks incredible..... WHAT?

Its probably gonna be using an ancient engine and running at 630p is that the standard console users are happy with?

t8505812d ago (Edited 5812d ago )

PC will obviously be miles ahead.

With the PS3 and 360 swapping places from time to time. The differences will be so small that its no point even discussing it. Anyone wanting to see a real difference will go with the PC version just the way it is with any multiplat.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

badz14950d ago

cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee62d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

lodossrage96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein96d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator96d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow196d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
