Yeah, because Crysis: Warhead, Cryostasis, Medieval 2: Total War, Empire: Total War, Company of Heroes, Dawn of War 2, Project Offset, etc are doable on consoles...
/sarcasm
Darkride, Dragon Age is coming to both consoles as well. But they're late ports that won't be out for a while.
Explain why Dragon Age is being ported to PS3, even though Bioware has no experience with the system.
@Rhoic
Not everything has to be a million seller to be successful. It depends on the actual budget of the project, and the budget for ports is the smallest of all.
Just look at Dragon Age.
Exclusive up until last summer.
In case you didn't know, 300000 is good for a port and most likely means a dev made a profit.
Ports cost next to nothing compared to developing a brand new game, so that's why most developers don't cry when they sell less than the original versions.
Why's Dragon Age coming to PS3, then?
Not ever since my stats were majorly messed up and I was unable to fix them since Valve took out the **** stat reset button.
But hey, great for anyone who still plays. :)
Nah. The Main America's Army games are free-to-play recruitment tools. MS would never allow something as big a game as that be played for free on LIVE, and having people pay for it would defeat the purpose.
Bioware said you can
I dunno. This review is pretty late, maybe he took his time to play the game and generally thought it deserved a decent score?
Steam now regularly has 1.5 million online users at any one time.
Sure seems like PC gaming is dying, isn't it?
Because Sony can't pony up the cash that MS can and Bethesda doesn't like working with the PS3 as a development platform (most devs with a PC background don't)
Is there a method that works in 64-bit Vista?
With Lucasarts recent dip in quality, I actually really don't care.
The fact remains, Ju, the kind of detail they had in the face of the Helghast leader at the end is unattainable on current games and so far beyond that of what I've seen in PS3 software so far that I doubt that scene was being rendered in real-time, regardless of the disabling of animations and physics.
The scene might be using some in-game assets, but its obvious that its pre-recorded footage.
That cutscene is CGI... I'm sure they're not counting it. It uses different assets from the game, as is obvious by some increased detail. Plus, it would be impossible to load all of those different environments in that quickly and render them that smoothly for an uninterrupted cutscene. The guy's face at the end also has exponentially more detail than any face I've seen from in-game footage.
That's probably the only CGI-rendered video on the disk, anyway.
The link do...
Funny how their only exclusive is Empire: Total War. And its only on... Oh, wait, that contradicts your point... ;)
Too bad that I read in a preview (don't remember where, I'll look for a link) that there will be PC-specific enhancements. The game also has no lead platform, each version is being developed specifically for each platform.
Online reviews.
Magazines get a bit of leeway.
