uh oh... :(


Eidos has confirmed that forthcoming killer-app Kane & Lynch: Dead Men will not be coming to the PlayStation 3, instead remaining exclusive to the Xbox 360 and PC.

Last week, the web went all of a flutter after the game's Australian publisher, Atari, put out a press release declaring that the title was also in development for PlayStation 2, PSP and PS3.

However, Eidos has come forward to rectify said mistake, claiming that the press release was full of errors. Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is due for release on 360 and PC later this year.

Today Atari comes with big news at least if you own a PS3 or a PSP. Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, title that was previously declared as an Xbox 360 and PC exclusive, will arrive to the Sony platforms.

Owners of any of these three consoles can now join 360 fans in waiting for the game, which promises to offer gamers a tale of two men - Kane and Lynch - as they go on their violent and chaotic way in this gritty, blood-spattered third-person shooter.

Coming this june.

Cool. I remember checking some screens out a while ago and I thought it looked real cool (even though I have no idea what the game is about).

I think we're also missing an edit on the publisher, unless I missed something big somewhere. Isn't this an Eidos/SCi project, through IO Interactive?

Good.
Exclusivity ftl.
Looking forward to this game a lot, absolutely love all of IO Interactive's work.
I'll probably get the PC version.

Strange, why is Eidos not self-publishing a game made by a studio they own?

I can understand that in the case of some obscure Japanese-centric Microsoft titles, but this high profile next-gen console game? I dunno...

Yuck.

Multiplatform games make me angry.

Why? The game is still being primarily developed for the 360. If the quality is in danger of being compromised it's going to be the PS3 versions quality.

Erm the game is being published by Eidos(IO Studio is owned by Eidos) not that it would surprise me or anything but its definetly not from ATARI,Pardon but did you just read it from some OPM3 Magazine and decided to break the exclusive ? :)

No idea what this has to do with Atari though.

I hope it is true. Robinspain usually doesn't bullshoot when it comes to news. He does work for Sony right?

It's in the release shedule of Atari Australia (pspupdates, futuregamez). Miss it: the game is also coming to PS2.

OK, then it's good. They are the distributor of Eidos games in Australia. It's still Eidos publishing though. :)

I don't find this surprising if true, the interesting but was the Atari part, but that's solved now. So move along!

Edios is publishing this. I just visited IO, and saw the game today. They talked about a PS3 version, but nothing about a PSP version.

This was never a 360 exclusive, so no loss.

The sameway Assassins Creed was never PS3 exclusive, but for some reason people added that game to the "lost exclusives" list. :|
