Paradox Interactive have made a decision as publisher of BL Logic's East vs West to cancel the game. It had already been "severly delayed" and an open beta / early access still wouldn't have 'met certain criteria'.
The actual decision to cancel is 'fresh' and we're being told "pretty much immediately." As it uses the Clausewitz engine they can't release source code to the community.
GRTV caught up with East vs. West's game designer Gellert Ferenc Keresztes to learn more about how the Cold War strategy game is taking shape.
It's a staring competition between NATO and the Warsaw Pact in East vs. West: A Hearts of Iron Game, which grants us an 'expanded toolset' to deal with the rest of the world plunged into Cold War.
The vanilla Hearts of Iron III "only really had depth" through its military, says Gellert Keresztes, whereas East vs. West draws a lot upon national politics and espionage.
From Strategyinformer.com: "East vs. West was announced last year, but we’ve only just managed to catch up with the dev team to find out about the game. Boy, have we missed out – East vs. West takes the Hearts of Iron formula and changes it into something truly exciting. We spoke to frontman Gellert Keresztes to find out more about it, and how we could get it into our lives pronto".
