Star Wars Battlefront creators have been interviewed about developing for the Revolution, read more inside!
Gaming site IGN have chatted with Pandemic Studios, best known for the enjoyable Star Wars Battlefront and Full Spectrum Warrior titles, about the upcoming system, its controller, and what development oppurtunities the new system holds. Greg Borrud, Pandemic's director of production, was in the hotseat:
Are you interested in making a game on Revolution?
We are very interested in making games for the Revolution. The challenge will be in our approach to these games. As we think about the Xbox 360 and the PS3 we see a lot of similarities between the systems so it will be relatively easy to have a game ship on both platforms. We don't necessarily see those kinds of similarities with the Revolution. Games that are made for the Revolution will really have to be re-conceived for that platform and can't simply be a port. While on the one hand that could mean fewer games for the Revolution, the games that do ship on the platform will probably be crafted with a lot more thought and care than would go into your average port. So yes, we are interested in developing entertainment for the Revolution - but only for the select group of games that really make sense.
