EA: "PS3 Development Exotic and Tough"
Following the indefinite hold of the PS3 version of Red Alert 3, EA today revealed that the PS3 version was cancelled due to development issues on the platform.
“We actually announced a PS3 version early on but that was when we were still doing a lot of technical exploration of the architecture,” said EALA producer Amer Ajami. “PS3 is a very powerful system but as you guys know it’s very exotic and tough to develop for and our engine really at the time wasn’t designed for PS3.”
He noted that the studio “might go back and do something with the PS3 later on.”
When EA put the PS3 version on indefinite hold early last month, the company only said that it was “refocusing resources” towards the other version of the game.
Red Alert 3 is due out on PC and Xbox 360 this October.
