DICE: PC Battlefield 3 Getting "Special Effort"

[Jan 03, 2011, 10:55 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A tweet by David Goldfarb answers a question posed to DICE's lead designer on Battlefield 3 about whether their upcoming military shooter sequel will be a PC exclusive, harkening back to the old days when there were AAA shooters that were not released on consoles. David debunks this exclusivity rumor, but does say the PC edition is receiving "special effort," saying: "it will not be exclusive. We are putting special effort into the pc version, even for us, it's extraordinary."

Actually the difference really isn't that obvious unless you compare side by side. If I brought a Bluray/DVD combo to a friend's house and he told me he only had a DVD player, I really wouldn't mind. Same thing with PC/consoles. If it seems to be made for consoles, I'll play it on my xbox. If it has mods and seems to be doing alright on PC, I'll get it for PC.

I do the same. Have all of the options available so you can pick and choose what to play on the correct system for that type of game.
