BIS saids "no comment" instead of just "no" when asked about console game.

I know that you people hate talking about ArmA for consoles, but you said plenty of times that it has been confirmed many times that it will never happen.

In this recent interview BIS saids no comment instead of no when asked. http://nzgamer.com/pc/features/1086/...w.html/page-2/

Maybe it means there will be sometime later on?

People have problems with ArmA2 running smooth on hardware which is 10 times that powerful than a console ever will be in the next couple of years.

Now tell me: How the game then shall run on a xbox or playstation with its ancient hardware?

We have such threads now since years and there was no ArmA for consoles, there's also no ArmA2 for them and most probably there never will be any ArmA for consoles. No matter how many threads are started.

Console? - not enough buttons =)

They said 'no comment' instead of 'consoles are so rubbish they'd all melt before they could run Arma 3 in any meaningful way unless we make the maps 200m squared with a limit of 20 ai max and no vehicles.'

Yeah, just look at operation flashpoint for console =/

I didnt say that ArmA would be released on either Xbox 360 or PS3 because I know that the hardware on both those two are ancient. But there has been lots of rumours about the next gen consoles over the last few months, and I think Microsoft isnt to far from anouncing a new console with hardware that is up to this date. And with the "no comment" I was thinking, why not next gen consoles?

[Flash Thunder]

They're probably just prototyping something if anything.

If anything next generation XBOX and PS if their specs are somewhat good.

agree with this since console has limited button, it will make different experience gaming compared to PC version. In console we can't add mod and unable to use Teamspeak . Even though next generation console power will be able to handle ArmA III with lowered quality than it's PC counterpart

[^Th0mas^]

How can we know, we still know nothing about these next gen consoles

[Inlesco]

That's true, but their capabilities might still not be enough to satisfy A(n)'s requirements for smooth gameplay because every time a new title is released PC hardware advances in parallell, too. Tons of questions and potential "NOs" rises when you think about the possibilities.
