o, i thought id post this, as obviously more xbox copies will be sold of MW2.

We got to talk with Todd Stevens of Infinity Ward today, and he had this to say about Modern Warfare 2.

"Modern Warfare 2 is set to release early this November, and will be on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. The Playstation 3 is our leading platform for Modern Warfare 2. The PS3 version will run smoother and have slightly better visuals than the PC and 360 version. We've been working on Modern Warfare 2 ever since we released Call of Duty 4 back in 2007. We would like to thank everyone who is still with the Call of Duty 4 community. We will be releasing more information throughout the coming months, so be patient."

^^ From GDC 2009 ^^

thats very strange as every time they demo'd it it was on a 360

 

[m4rkie23]

i dont get your point?

 

[McBunny]

well if the ps3 was the lead platform wouldn't IW demo the game on it rather than the 360 version if it is inferior to the ps3 version ?

If you move a PS3 it breaks iirc.

hence why they use a 360



o wait, or is it the other way round....

lol

it seems plausible that the ps3 was the lead platform but it seems od to demo it on something else

they may as well demo it on the wii version lol

 

[McBunny]

ps its been proven to be bullshit started on a playstation forum

 

[m4rkie23]

lol i know. but it made you go and check tho didnt it

 

[McBunny]

yes but id already pointed out that it sounded very strange

 

[Brazo]

It lost credibility when it said the PS3 visuals will be better than the Pc!

 

[McBunny]

lol that was a slight glaring hole

Hang on. I'm confused, so... PS doesn't get Demo's for COD?! Are you absolutely sure about that? Did you get one for MW2? Genuine question btw, no being funny.

 

[McBunny]

you are misunderstanding me

all the demo videos that iw have released have all been 360 at various shows etc

 

[Seedy172]

Ah right, I see. The adverts for anything, are always Xbox. More sold, More money etc IMO.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Of course they will sell more Xbox versions, more people have them, because they're cheaper.

 

[saltyhair81]

Just get a PC, looks better, plays better and you don't have to listen to the angry children

 

[CrippsCorner]

If you wanna pay 4x the cost.

I'm pleased with my PS3 as I'm a casual gamer and make more use of the Blu-ray player. However, if I had bought the PS3 solely as a games console and intended to use it as much as serious gamers do, I'd be a bit pissed off at it's lack of development tbh.

 

[RussZS]

The pad is crap for COD MW2

 

[m4rkie23]

disagree completely. its fine

They've only got themselves to blame.

They sat on their arses getting fat off of the PS2 and GT3 et al, starving a software industry of a next gen platform so desperately needed.

So MS nip round the flank and seriously get the jump on them with the 360.

Regardless of which is technically superior, the 360 will always 'win' the battle for numbers as it's out there, just like when the PS2 owned everything as everyone had one. So the strength of exclusivity for games like GTA and GT3 that was awarded to Sony, now sits with MS (or a delayed release at least).

I used to have a PS2 and GT3. Now have a 360 Elite complete with seat + wheel and Forza 3.

I'm the market me.
