"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.

na2ru15757d ago

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

Shaman5757d ago (Edited 5757d 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.

Inside_out5757d ago (Edited 5757d ago )

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...

champ215757d ago (Edited 5757d ago )

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?

t8505757d ago (Edited 5757d 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.

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_lee7d 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

lodossrage42d ago (Edited 42d 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.

thorstein42d ago

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

TheColbertinator41d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow141d ago

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

ZwVw41d ago

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.

Saudi Arabia Will Own 93 Percent Of Battlefield 6 Publisher EA

When the dust settles on the $55 billion leveraged buyout of Electronic Arts, Saudi Arabia will be its only true owner, despite a “consortium” of investors being involved in the deal. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund will control 93 percent of the company, according to filings with Brazil’s antitrust regulator.

blacktiger93d ago

Technically speaking, Saudi Arabia and TENCENT can buy the entire USA. ANf Democrat and Republican will not do crap!

Inverno93d ago

Letting foreign entities own half of American businesses is liberal and very progressive. So is bringing in all that talent from outside the States to replace the talentless and lazy American workers. And here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope. We're supposed to worry bout them "radical Muslims" minding their own here and ignore China/Saudi/Israel taking over.

blacktiger93d ago

Another thing I hate hearing is "liberal and very progressive"
It's 2025 and that stuff is outdated. Everything and everyway is literally the same thing wheter it's progressive, conservativ. Because they all wants the same thing have, king unlimited oney buy everything including your house.

Now they making mainstream media news that it's AI Bubble justify to highjack the price of RAM.
Another excuse for inflation!

Tacoboto93d ago

"here I thought the Trump administration wanted to border is up but nope"

Lol, you actually bought what he was selling? Let's see this week alone...

Yesterday he pardoned an international drug lord, while allowing the murder of random fishermen on boats. Remember drain the swamp? He pardoned a Democratic Congressman jailed for bribery just today, nevermind that fraudulent drag queen republican that was kicked out of Congress and imprisoned for their fraud. It's so petty they're picking fights on social media with pop stars while using their music, and even using Franklin the damn Turtle to cartoonify their murders.

thorstein92d ago

You believed him!?!!

I've got some Trump $5000 bills for you, only half off.

People I do not use /s to point out my sarcasm. Should be obvious I don't believe anything coming out of Trump's mouth or any politicians mouth.

its quite ridiculous that they were able to do that. or even allowed to.

but saudis even have their grabby hands in nintendo stocks.

maximusprime_92d ago

Looking on the bright side, the games may be patched to remove any ideologies that are incompatible for the majority of the world.

S2Killinit92d ago

What do you mean? You want censorship in games?
