Cuando me entero de estas cosas, no puedo evitar retroceder a la época psx/N64 cuando todos los fanboys corrían mes a mes a buscar en su reluciente 64magazine algún anuncio para su flamante consola que la devolviera a la cresta de la ola, y se encontraban con noticias como ésta, que les devolvían a la cruda realidad. En fin, vamos al grano:
Doug Lombardi (jefe de marketing) lo ha dicho así de claro en una presentación de su último juego Left 4 Dead. Hicieron la Orange Box por petición de EA, pero aparte de esta limosna no tienen nada planeado fuera de 360/PC.
Las declaraciones integras:
Lombardi told us, "We're not PS3 developers - we're doing PC and 360 like with Orange Box. EA came to us and said 'Wow, Orange box was an incredible project, can we do a PS3 version?'"
So does that mean if it's a hit someone else (EA again, maybe?) could port it over to PS3? "Left 4 Dead doesn't have that guaranteed appeal yet - it's a new IP," Lombardi explained.
"If you mention a new Half-Life, people want to make as many versions of it as possible. If Left 4 Dead is big, then we may see a PS3 version later, or if and when we do a sequel, people may be more interested in that.
"We're only 150 people, so there's only so many things we can do. But it's one of those things with partners, wanting to take on that investment and risk. I think until L4D is proven, you'll probably just see what we make in that franchise."
