EA C&C team still 'very interested' in PS3 - Plans to give the PS3 the 'attention it deserves pretty soon'

Videogamer writes: "A has reassured PS3 owners that they should not be concerned by the putting "on hold" of the PS3 version of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 and the lack of a PS3 version of Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath, and reiterated its commitment to the platform "going forward".

In an interview with VideoGamer.com, Kane's Wrath associate producer Jim Vessella said that EALA (the division of EA which is responsible for its RTS games, including Command & Conquer and Battle for Middle Earth) was still "very interested" in the PS3 and "big fans" of Sony's console.

When asked why there was no PS3 version of Kane's Wrath, Vessella replied: "The PS3, it would just be extra development time we didn't really have right now, so we could focus on the 360. And also specifically with Kane's Wrath, because we're building off of the foundation of Tiberium Wars it was just a natural transition to continue with the 360 exclusive development."

Meaning now that you actually have an install base. We will try to develope for the PS3 system, instead of giving you crappy ports.

If the developer can't make a PS3 port without excuses than they're probably a bad developer making a bad game. I don't want this mediocre game anyway.

PS3 owners wont buy crap ports. I think we have made that point pretty clear. Make us an exclusive or an equal port and then see what happens. Mouse & keyboard is the only way to play RTS proper. PS3 CAN use them.

Because the whole of N4G describes every single PS3 owner? Seriously, what?

RTS can work on the PS3 just fine, it does support keyboard and mouse, and is manageable anyway. What PS3 owners don't want, and shouldnt want (as any self respecting gamer would) is a crappy port. 50 copies...wow.

Sony fan made it clear that they don't buy crappy ports. It is as simple as that. Look at Call of Duty 4, and Burnout, they sold very good on the ps3 because they wasn't crappy port

Here's where your logic falters.

You say because PS3's arent shipped with a keyboard and mouse it's not logical for developers to rely on that sort of support, so they're working hard on the 360 version for gamepad? Last I checked, PS3's came with a controller as well. Your post has no relevance as to why PS3 owners wouldnt want to play a RTS. I pointed out that if they wanted to use a keyboard and mouse, they could, np. A Desk? They can easily put it there since they have the ability to use a bluetooth version of both, for a cheap price might I add. What we're arguing against is a bad port, not a game that can be good with game pads. Why do you assume that 360 owners will want it moreso than PS3 owners when they themselves don't have that level of support for KB and Mouse?

Oh because well, it's on the 360? Your arguments are ridiculously one sided with no backing. UT3's sales had nothing to do with KB and M. If people wanted to use it, they would have. The game was good, but the franchise has faltered since and if you're a fan, you'll get it. If not, you won't.

your right

i myself buy one or two of these games a year and its ALWAYS on the PC. I wont even try a RTS on a controler. The key board is key for games like these....Rome Total War was great. I played a couple in that series and also a couple C&C games.

How did the last RTS game do on the 360? Did they have one yet?

anyway

its the only game type that doesnt belong on conseles. Keep it to the PC and let me use my key board to micro-manage....i know the PS3 can use a key board. These are just the type of game i play once a year and i will only use my PC....i didnt upgrade my chip for nothing

Please tell me why it would be a different case on the 360 in terms of sales DIRECTLY correlating to KB and M support. If KB and M is so important, you'd think the 360 would be able to support it so much easier.

UT3 didn't sell well on PS3, PC, and it will not sell well for the 360 without the mods. But atleast with UT3 on PS3 were still having fun. The game is no fun without the mods if you plan on playing the game for more than a week.

The C&C team is pretty decent. I am still hoping to see this game on the PS3, but I will probably end up forgetting about it by the time it gets there.

EA thought that MS would kill PS3 this gen... so they focused on the XB360. Now sales of PS3 titles are overtaking XB360 titles - so they will go where the money is. Business as usual.

better they wait until they can donate enough time to it anyway, no body wants a crap port.

Plus, any true C&C fan will buy this for the PC, so it isnt "turned down" and they have the mouse/k-board support.

Yeah, right. Very interested in it that we're all very interested to see where all that power Sony was saying the ps3 had over the xbox 360 went to.

Ps3 development is drying up.

ps3 has alot of games in development right now if you haven't so happen to hear.

"the 360 is the now and the ps3 is the future"

like i said, the "now" has ended and the "future" starts here.
