In news that probably won’t shock anybody, DICE has confirmed that the Xbox and PS3 versions of its upcoming Battlefield 3 will be somewhat “scaled down”.
“PC is the leading platform, conceptually, for this game, definitely. We are going to make this game on 360 and PlayStation 3 as well, [but] we need to scale it down to those platforms,” Karl Magnus Troedsson tells the latest issue of PC Gamer.
“The PC players are going to love to hear that, but it’s a fact. The hardware specs on the console are limited. At the same time, for each iteration on these console platforms we can utilise the power of them better and better, so what we do on the other platforms is going to be amazing, and look much better on the PC too.
“There’s going to be unique features on the PC version of this game, some of which I think people are going to be very pleased about. I can’t reveal all of them… but I can reveal that there will be a lot of extra love put into the PC version of this product.”
Awww. But maybe he’s just saying that so nobody’s mad when it ships with Games for Windows LIVE.
