[PS3>PC]

Does Bohemia have any intention of releasing Arma 2 on PS3 or is it just for pc and i dont want 2 hear ur biased pc comments about my name or this post

I think OFP2 looks better anyways and its coming out on next gen consoles

You do know that's not in-game footage of O, right?

[Zipper5]

I'm sure he does. He sounds very much like a guy who was on here earlier talking about ArmA II on the 360. That guy was banned but apparently he had already duplicated an account, which was then banned subsequently. The guy said he could "beat" the forums, so I think this is him.

Or I'm just horribly mistaken.

AFAIK they're only gonna go for PC and 360. I don't know a thing about game development but I heard the PS3 is extremely unfriendly to porting.

I think they do, you just have to convince publishers or sony that there are millions of ps3 users interested in playing Arma 2 so... good luck with that .
Anyway,. based on the overall feedback gamers posted about the game i have often came across gamers asking details about possible ps3 and xbox360 versions of the game and i do believe that with a good marketing campaign and a solid release Arma 2 would be successfull on the console market.

What do they got to lose putting it on PS3? Do they have to build the game all over to do it?No

So stop talking about this porting BS cuz codemasters has it on everything so there sales are going to be much huger then bohemia's and its going to show in the money and thats the only thing BI has to lose

BI must not be confident in there game cuz it looks like they have no interest to put it on consoles probably cuz of OFP2 coming out on consoles so they just concentrated on pc to get it out before OFP2

looks better anyways

Well, you should not think, it hurts.

i dont think its sony whos hesitating to put it on the ps3 but BI cuz sony can lock it up for PS3 only but no 1s doing that cuz of BI

I don't want to wet on anyone's parade, but the likihood of a PS3 version of ArmA II is rather remote... BI's 'Real Virtuality' engine is a DirectX engine and would require someone to write an OpenGL render backplane for the PS3 -- which would be an enormous undertaking...

While I'd personally would vote for such an effort as that would give BI, and ArmA platform indepedence from Microsoft, so the game could run not only on the PS3, but Linux, OS/X, and just about anything else that's 3D render capapble (UNIX variants, handhelds etc.) the volume of work is of such a scale that I can't imagine we'd see it till RV3.5 or 4, if ever.

sony and microsoft dont tell the developer wat publisher to get
