Midway to Produce FPS for Next-Gen Consoles
Following a tradition of releasing games across multiple platforms, Midway will be producing a first-person shooter (or FPS) for all three of the current next-gen consoles using the Unreal Engine 3. Each console will be receiving a native edition of the same game, that is to say that the game will be written for each console and not ported from one to the rest. This is a lot of work, and thus big news! The news about the game being based on the Unreal Engine 3 is really not that surprising for the PS3 and Xbox, but is rather surprising regarding the Revolution considering that it is well-known to be signifigantly weaker than the other two platforms. This may be an indicator regarding the true power of the Revolution! We might find a console that is nearly as powerful as the other two… just without HD capabilities. I’d be okay with that, personally.
