EA leading Army of Two dev on Xbox 360

95
The Xbox 360 is the lead platform for upcoming multi-platform third-person action game Army of Two, EA has revealed.

Speaking in an interview with VideoGamer.com, Army of Two assistant producer Matt Turner said the team "put it on PS3" after leading development on the Xbox 360.

However, he stressed that as far as graphics goes "it looks great on both of them".

to be honest, developers are getting use to both consoles now so i dont think it will matter what platform the devs lead both games will look the same, look at capcom and dmc4 for example of developers making the game the same on either format.

Its win win for all of us.

1.1 - AGREE
but are we surprised by EA?

EA are a company that like to make a quick buck the easy way, so ps3 owners were unfairly shafted by those lazy EA devs in the beginning

altough its beginnig to change now there was no excuse for their lack of effort in not trying to understand the complex but powerful ps3 architecture in the beginning.

but also 360 owners are gonna get shafted now that EA's bought mass effect developers because EA likes a quick buck the future sequel's to these games will be multi-plat

i just really dont like EA and what they stand for in the gaming community, more original IP's would help for a start instead of churning out the same crap on a yearly basis with minor cosmetic changes

rant over

easy way by sacrificing quality not caring what crap the put on the shelves!

many could say this about capcom but with one big difrerence look at DMC4 they run exactly the same on either console EA cant or dont care about doing this, yeh burnout but this is ONE game after numerous cack games EA have put out which was inferior, like EA have stated its easier to start with ps3 so why not continue that procedure,and then not have a lynch mob of angry gamers and fatter pockets

with making a quick buck, but at the what cost? If you're going to shaft a few and ruin your reputation then making a quick buck will hurt you in the long run.

5 - When this game was first announced...
I was excited about it as I loved the co-op in Gears of War and thought that this would be another great co-op game. But to me, it just seems that EA has been skrewing the pooch lately and with the exception of their producing Critirions Burnout, EA has been on the high level of SUCK meter in my book lately. They are not out to make great games, they are out to make a quick buck off of cool franchises. If they would only use one or two of thos franchises the right way and make a game that is not only fun and longer than 8 hours then perhaps I would give them props. But at the time of this post, this game just does not do it for me as it did when I first heard about it.

5.1 - I agree...
The last few years I've really began disliking EA. However, I am seeing better quality games from them now, like NHL08 and Burnout. What you have to realize though is that EA is a large corporation, and they, like any other corp, need a steady source of income. All these sport franchises help provide that, and as a result they can take a risk on a new IP. Take Spore for instance, that game looks pretty damn amazing, but it's still a gamble.

i think this game will be a flop like Turok or Kane&Lynch, cause i saw all the gameplay videos and couldn't see anything special about this game (only the coop was ok, but i had the feeling of "been there, done that"...)

6.1 - I don't know
Turok is a good game. It's more interactive then halo and rfom. I'm playing the game now for 360, and I'll give it an 8 over all. I expected the game to be another typical shooter, as far as what system it's developed on, I don't care. I just want to play the thing

I've played them for n64, and I've played it for 360 again it's not all as bad as some people are making it out to be. Is it ground breaking, not at all, but it isn't a bad game at all. I was playing it last night,
I've played worst shooters. Again its not ground breaking, but it's satisfying

Kane and lynch sold a lot unfortunately. So most developers wish they could flop like kane and lynch I'm guessing.

8 - I thought EA learned it's lesson after Burnout Paradise
Instead of developing from the 360 and then porting to the Playstation 3, start with the Playstation 3 and port to the 360. It was the first EA title to have equal scores since the launch of the Playstation 3.

Either way, like predator stated, most developers are getting used to both consoles, so it there shouldn't be a difference.

Funny how PS3 fans suddenly switch in their view on the game when some bad news for their version of the game seems a port from the 360.

Everybody suddenly doesn't want the game anymore, strange. I still like Burnout by the way.

9.9 - in a way
the 360 holds the game back on the PS3. Look at Burnout paradise. sure it started on PS3 and runs great, but in an effort to "keep things even" between the 2 consoles you will see downloadable content in the very near future even though the game just came out. Basically, PS3 owners get stuck because the 360 couldn't hold all the content, and in a political correct move by EA to show no favortism to fanboys they choose to have everyone download what should have been included

11 - Sticking to the formula for EA
Man is it just me or is EA really this stupid? This is the same formula that failed miserably for them in the past so they continue with it? Here are my predictions for this game:

1. It WILL tank
2. The PS3 release will be inferior to the 360 due to porting issues, and lack of polish
2. A press release will be created stating that the PS3 was the reason for the delay.
4. Developers will whine and cry about how hard the PS3 is to work on.

Rinse and repeat.

Nice EA. Perhaps the discerning tastes of the PS3 crowd are turning off these devs. I mean if I can produce a title and throw it on the 360 where legions of people will buy it regardless of quality...have at it (check the sales figures for Kane and Lynch on 360 to see what I mean). The 360 fans buy everything. Thats it guys continue buying shovelware.

I got it for the 360 and it's terrible. The cover system sucks and is almost useless, aiming is terrible because the camera angles suck, and the story is bad. I only got a little into it and have been trying to get rid of it on ebay w/ no success. It's bad...

Lets face it PS3 is simply an inconvenience to EA, it goes against their "rush it out the door" and "rehash it year on year" philosophy.

Maybe one day they will take a little bit more pride in their work and we won't have to endure anymore of these half assed ports.

To be fair i think they started dev on this game a while ago so all the revelations and so forth that have come out might be apparent to EA now... but now when they began production of this game.

either way this game looks very mediocre which is a shame. But i will give it a shot.

Played conflict denied ops today....I was suprised at how ugly and almost unplayable it was. Shame i enjoyed the desert storm series thoroughly

PC/360 leads about 80% of all games, this isn't new. Just means bad ports for the other guys, should have made it easer to dev for.

I see another Orange Box fiasco happening for PS3, at least this time the original will probably suck. So a port of a bad game? No big deal.
