| libellule said: @heruamon, By porting the game to PS3 u get also more sales since u can sell the game to PS3 userbase : that is my point ! So if want to make more money, they should continue supporting the PS3 : it is really worth the value ! |
I wasn't talking about going multi-platform in general, but in the specific case of Mass Effect...and the possible benefits, or lack there of in possibly going back to release the original game on the ps3, while keeping in mind the weak performance of Bioshock, which 2kGames invested some serious effort into. Is it worth delaying the game's release during the holiday season to multi-platform it?!? I doubt it, and that's also part of my point...going multi-platform would require you possibly getting a far larger team (as Procrastinto and Sqill pointed out), and that 10% added cost is probably after you have optimized your processes, not at start-up. Now EA could farm it out to someone else to do, since Bioware is also busy working on Dragon Age which is going to be multi, as far as I know, but then that just adds more cost. So, I DID think about it before I posted, and hope that clarifies my point.
