Support NeoGAF

[Core407]

yes you can.

Does mouse and keyboard support count as additional content?

 

[rs7k]

no again. I complain that there will be too much multiplatform games.

If developers were against multiplaform titles, the PS3 would have very little games on the shelf.

I really don't see your point other than "I want every game to be exclusive to the PS3".

 

[Shalashaska]

I want this on PC now. I played RTCW multiplayer to death.

 

[PleoMax]

How about some footage?

i think some of you guys continue to add meaning to his words that isn't necessarily there. yeah, we know he's a sony fan, but that doesn't have to be the overarching concern in every last post he makes.

i'm just saying... i'm not getting the same vibe in this thread that some of you are.^^

when did I ever say that? I dont really care on which console it will be exclusive But i care when a good game could be much better when it were exclusive to one specific platform. It doesnt matter if 360, PS3 or Wii.

Why do you people try to start a 360/PS3 war in every news?

 

[Strike]

Oh ok, I might be thinking of another game. By the way, is your screen name out of some famous literature?

Isn't that the real name of the Elephant Man?

Has it ever been confirmed that the new Wolfenstein is using the id tech 5 engine? My understanding has been that it was being developed on the latest iteration of the Doom 3 engine, but its multiplatformness is making me unsure.

hail to the multigen.

Somehow I dont like this trend....

Stop being a damn fanboy

 

[Steverulez]

I thought at X05 they went on stage and announced it as a timed 360 exclusive? Which made me assume that PC/PS3 versions would follow...

 

[Darji]

Stop being a damn fanboy

what has this to do with a fanboy? Oh man gaf try to relax a bit.:lol

Watching the keynote by John Carmack and he specifically said that Wolfenstein is not id Tech 5. It isn't specifically id Tech 4 either because Raven Software probably revamped the code so much that it may be completely different now.

He also mentions that since it is multiplatform and not id Tech 5, there will be porting pains like they are having with PS3 and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. He even goes on about business decisions to hold back PC and Xbox 360 versions so that PS3 version could catch up and stuff.

John Carmack Keynote here.

Spoiler

He talks for a very long time and kinda goes in circles towards the end, but it is still interesting to me. There is also a faint hint of PS3 hate... Just a bit though.

 

[lynux3]

I keep reading this. Is there any basis to these rumors? Hasnt it been proclaimed console exclusive to all 4 winds?

The base for this claim is that in recent interview with Peter Moore he said Bioshock is exclusive to X360/PC this year and some Bioshock interview not denying a PS3 version and saying he can only "talk about the 360 version right now" or something along those lines.

I must be incredibly out of the loop here, because for some reason I've been under the impression that the game has been scheduled for PC, 360 and PS3 all along.

i think it was 360 exclusive not sure

 

[dralla]

they should try and somehow get cross platform play with 360/PS3.

 

[Busty]

The only thing news worthy on this issue isn't the fact that it's coming to the Ps3, but that Raven and id are having trouble with the PS3 version in the same way z_axis (bleh) are having trouble porting the PS3 version of Quake Wars.

It seems that, as Carmack himself said, that the majority of third party games don't use the SPUs at all and I suspect that's been the case with both of these games being ported over to the PS3.

Of course, while the id5 engine compensates for this and in fact seems to work very well on the PS3, it's interesting that the older tech engines are still struggling with the PS3. It looks like the PS3 could be the first 'bespoke' video game console.

I suspect that once everything is said and done, Wolfenstien will be indentical to it's 360 and PC cousins. As for Quake Wars..... hmmm, perhaps, IMHO, not so much. But maybe after BMX XXX Z-Axis are due a home run.

That's just your common sense telling you that. Just go and lie down in a dark room and it will soon pass.

Where did this come from though?

 

[tribal24]

wasnt it at some press conference i think can someone get the proof>.>

 

[Opus Angelorum]

I do that after every visit to NeoGAF.

 

[krypt0nian]

I'm really beginning to hate the trend wherein Darji posts.

Do you concur?

 

[OokieSpookie]

i think it was 360 exclusive not sure

It was

 

[Joseph Merrick]

i think it was 360 exclusive not sure

[meddow]

i think it was 360 exclusive not sure

[Odysseus]

timed exclusive, according to my reading of ign (which can be dangerous)

October 4, 2005 - During Peter Moore's section of X05's keynote speech he introduced id Software's Todd Hollenshead to the stage. As soon as he got on he unexpectedly announced that id Software and Raven Software were already underway with the next installment of the Wolfenstein series. No special title or release date was specifically mentioned, but it was announced that the Xbox 360 would be the exclusive first platform to receive the title.

Though we craved it badly, no gameplay or cinematic footage of the new Wolfenstein title was shown. What they did show was a montage of past Wolfenstein games, highlighting the fusion of World War II and science fiction themes present in the game. The upcoming Wolfenstein game will be build along the same lines.

Near the end of the video there were some brief shots of a computer monitor showing a human head being modeled for the next generation, but no further visuals were shown. Stick with IGN as more details about this title are released.

yeah.

 

[soco]

i came in here expecting an announcement of wolfenstein 3d remake heading to PSN.

Interesting. I'm surprised I didn't catch that, I'm pretty sure I was glued to the whole X05 deal. But yeah, that's not even almost the same thing as being exclusive.

Thats an old oct 2005 article.

By the way, the PC version is coming too.

 

[Woo-Fu]

I still think PC will do it justice but for those who don't have the specs on the PC the console is just as good.

Not really, consoles don't have enough ram. You end up with smaller maps or more load times, or both on console, when compared to a PC.

If the console version is "just as good", they didn't take advantage of the strengths of the PC platform.

that wasn't the point, the minor debate was about whether or not the game was ever xbox 360 exclusive and to what degree.
