Gearbox: multiplatform development caused Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway delays |
Ó
Gearbox's Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) has been delayed for almost two whole years now. It was originally scheduled for a holiday 2006 release and is now slated for next week. So, what's with the holdup, Gearbox?
According to Hell's Highway director Jeramy Cooke, they had no problems with the game itself. Multiplatform development was the major culprit. Here's what he told MTV Multiplayer:
This is the first time we have done a big, multi-platform game in-house, and it was brand-new technology, as well. You kind of expect when you buy off-the-shelf software [Unreal Engine 3] that youÂ’re just going to be up and running on all three platforms. We made a lot of changes to the engine, so each platform reacts to those changes differently. ThereÂ’s a lot to follow up and that kind of stuff, trying to make it work right on all the different platforms.
Cooke also explained that the game's PS3 version gave them the most trouble since they had to build up PlayStation expertise from scratch for Hell's Highway. PlayStation versions of previous Brothers in Arms games were farmed out to other developers who were more familiar with Sony consoles.
We'll soon see if Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is indeed worth the two-year wait. The game's Xbox 360 and PS3 versions come out on September 23 in North America, September 25 in Australasia, and September 26 in Europe.

At least they don't give up and bring out a crappy port of the 360 version, such as other developers who can't handle the PS3.
Props 2 these kind of ppl.
See PS3 is a garbarge system that pushs Star Wars the force Unleash and this game, back and others soon to come...
