Forums - Gaming - Blood Bowl Exclusivity Explained - Developers Not confident Enough W/ PS3

In an interview with Destructoid, the developer explained its apparent snub on the platform. "Cyanide is a small company," a representative said. "We have no previous experience on that platform [and] it would have been a bit risky and expensive for us. But, we are hoping to do a PS3 version if the game is selling well."

So, rather than a lack of faith in the platform, Cyanide has somewhat of a lack of faith in its own ability to develop for it without killing the budget. It still means no PS3 version for now, but it also means no janky, poorly ported PS3 version for now. That's ... something. And if the other versions of the game, coming out in Q2 of this year, are successful, we may see a (good) PS3 version yet.

I think a lot of smaller developers are in the same boat, they can't take the risk. But like Cyanide mentioned - If the game sells well then they would port it to the PS3.

I will try to help them put it on the PS3, then, because I'll be there on day one for this.



Well during this economic crisis it's not a strange thing to do... the risk is just too high..

It sounds like they have no faith in the development team and no faith in the game to sell to mass audiences.

I'm pretty sure they know that their game isn't a "Mass Audience" game...

Well, a rubbish port is better than no port surely?



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD
