Visceral Games executive producer Steve Papoutis has defended the PC version of Dead Space 3, after it was being referred to as a pure console port.<\/p>\n
The uproar comes after it was announced that\u00a0the PC version of Dead Space 3 will feature certain graphics options, but will lack Direct X 11 support and enhanced textures.<\/p>\n
Papoutis has said that the claims have \u201cdiscredited for the amount of effort\u201d that goes into developing PC versions.<\/p>\n
“It’s confusing to me that this question even comes up,” Papoutsis said. “It’s by no means any less important to us; it gets a lot of attention. The PC is a very different platform. As developers, you want to deliver an experience that’s as similar as possible on different platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n
Papoutis explained that the studio wants the core feeling of Dead Space 3 to remain the same across all platforms, but also states that the PC control scheme alone gives somewhat of a unique experience.<\/p>\n
“The fact that we’re allowing you to control the game with a mouse and keyboard immediately makes the game feel different,” Papoutsis said. “Working with the community, we found some people wanted to map the controls a little differently because of disabilities and we supported that [in Dead Space 2].\u201d<\/p>\n
