PS3 EndWar is 360 port

The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of upcoming console-only RTS Tom Clancy's EndWar will be "identical" when the game launches this October or November, despite the PS3 port team experiencing "a little trouble at the beginning" of the game's development.

Despite the fact that the lead version is on the Xbox 360 and that the development team found the Unreal Engine 3 "a great fit" with Microsoft's console, Julian Gerighty, editorial content director at Ubisoft Shanghai revealed to VideoGamer.com at Ubidays last week that the dedicated 80 or 90 strong PS3 team "is doing really well now" with the port.

Gerighty said: "Because we have to have feature parity there's no difference in features. The way we've developed it was with Unreal 3 and we found it a really great fit with Xbox 360. PS3 team had a little trouble at the beginning but they're doing really well now. The lead version is the 360. They'll be identical when they finally launch."

He added: "There's a whole separate team of another 80, 90 guys working on it. It's really decent. And all they have to do is port it. It's a big team."

1.1 - I hope ps3 might be able to support Keyboard and Mouse

but I am not interested in the title for these reason:
1) it's a RTS
2) it's a Port
3) it's made from unreal 3 engine
4) it's has Tom clancy in its name.

ubisoft will then whine that they didn't make as much money off the ps3 as 360.

JUST make the game separately from xbox and see the numbers go up in sales. it's as simple as that ubisoft. give love to ps3 owners, and they will give some love back to you.

Keyboard and mouse? I thought the whold draw to the game was voice commands. You shouldn't need a keyboard

Anyway, at least they aren't lying about it not being a port like they lied about Rainbow 6 vegas 2 lol only to find 360 controls in the game lol

I have zero interest in the game but if they do ps eye minority report type stuff i MIGHT rent it

What version was that 4 minute gameplay demo off? It left me feeling a great deal of "meh".

Im not interested for the above reasons listed. Except the tom clancy bit. I do hold a thin thread of hope for HAWX

They are a now a very good multiplat publisher and one of my favourites.

At least for this company, gone are those crappy ports to the ps3 especially with developers getting more and more experience with the black beast.

Meh. They said the same thing about RSV2 and guess what, Ubi lied. Anyways, if EndWar ends up being inferior and half-assed, those 80-90 developers must be the most incompetent fvcks on the planet. Especially since Far Cry 2 is being ported to the 360 and PS3 with three people on the 360 and thirteen people on the PS3 version and they showed footage of the two versions running side by side, before launch to boot!.

why does this still surprise people?

if their is a larger install base on the 360, and
multi-plat games always sell better on 360, and
it's much eaiser and cheaper to develop on the 360...

then why in the hell would you go experimenting with another console?
stick to what you know, and what sells.

Thats Dumbassetry at its best.

Devs should have been doing there homework 2 years ago, and then they would be capable on it now. And whether you believe PS3 will dominate and XB will start again over the next 2 years or that both will continue for a while and give each other good competition, the fact remain there will be 10's of millions of PS3 customers in the coming year that will be a hefty slice of the marketshare pie. If devs still arent getting rid of their teething problems yet (Which Ubi already said they did) then devs will be missing out on a lot of customers, and thats a fact regardless of whose going to actually be winning the console war.

"If devs still arent getting rid of their teething problems yet (Which Ubi already said they did) then devs will be missing out on a lot of customers,"

tell me something, how do you figure?
last gen it was OBVIOUS in every multi-plat game that Xbox was clearly superior than the ps2, yet ps2 sold more and thats despite the fact that ps2 was a faulty console (remember class action lawsuit against the ps2 because Sony didn't want to own up to their mistakes) and the Xbox was also more reliable.

whats goes around, comes around kid.

What you said doesn't even address the issue. All I said is if you ignore the PS3 fanbase like you apparently want devs to do because its harder and more expensive according to you (actually its just different and just as expensive) then they will be missing out on a lot of customers. Whats PS2 and XB got to do with that?

And unless you're over 50 and actually my father, dont call me kid. You're not the only one who can shave and buy beer here.

who is ignoring the ps3 fanbase?
ps3 gets the ports, and is NOT the lead console, its that simple.

same way xbox had to get ports from ps2.

"And unless you're over 50 and actually my father, dont call me kid. You're not the only one who can shave and buy beer here."

you got that.

Oh, right... Ubisoft? Porting from 360? Ok guys, PS3 owners, get ready for another sheetty game. Yes yes, "identical.. but had problems..." i see the next news "360 xx/xx/2008, PS3 delay xx/xx/2456 cause of problems". In Ubi (like the damned EA) don't exist good ppl for programming on the PS3 and it's a shame, really.

thehitman - 573 days 13 hours ago

14 - Actually

Its not a total port or a port at all. If they have another team working on it its really not a port. If anything they are just working on 360 version then doing it on ps3 version next as they go along. The only thing I wish out of this game is mouse keyboard support. The game really seemed to have some good infrastructure to it that made me think it can actually work for a console.

Also guys the UE3 engine is not that bad as you guys make it seem. Epic seemed to put it to excellent use with UT3. Epic was ablue to run fast paced game at 60fps and 720p. If they could do that on the UE3 then its not that bad. Its just other companies not being able to optimize it as well as they can Epic should really give hands if they arent.

you are the one saying xbox 1 had superior ports from ps2 so why cant ps3 do the same to the 360? EA is different from Ubi as well. Vegas 2 ran well and fixed connection issues promptly where EA left it as it is.

If they're going to be identical, I guess we can kiss the Eye integration goodbye. If that's the case, I won't be buying this game.

Kindly always stat facts with evidence and proof (Links Screens etc.)

Also, Unreal Engine is quite bad unless used by Epic Games.

PS3 can run Unreal Engine, look at Unreal Tournament 3

then UT3, dark sector, fatal inertia and so are a product of our imagination? yes, UT3 engine was DESIGNED to run in a windows environment, but it runs great with a proper coding in the cell.

is like asking "why 4cough can't think?" because the human thinking wasn't designed for 4cough brain
