    360 and PS3 Battlefield Heroes Unlikely

    VideoGamer has posted up another story today saying that a console version of BFH is highly unlikely. Take a look:
    Speaking to VideoGamer.com at an EA Games label event in London today, Ben Cousins, executive producer at DICE Studios, said that he didn't believe there would be any point in porting it to the PS3 or Xbox 360 because "Everyone's who's got a 360 or PS3 also will have a PC that can run this game".

    When asked if there would be a console version of Battlefield Heroes, Cousins said: "There's a lot of interest about us doing that. People mention it all the time. We really want to focus on the PC at the moment. The great thing about the PC for us is we can control the website, we can control all of the transactions, all of the advertising, we can tailor the service. If we went on 360 we would have to go through the MS process. Every time we added new content it would have to go through all of the MS vetting processes, it would go through their billing system. We really want to control this. There's a small group of guys at the DICE studio in Stockholm and they run it like a start up. They're just Heroes totally focused. So we really like the freedom the PC gives us to control the whole experience."

    Cousins added that despite the fact that a console version of Battlefield Heroes is technically possible, DICE wouldn't gain anything from such a move.

      Not necessarily...... They could put it on the PS store for free download and could have the BFH store in-game, like Rock band, Singstar......
      I reckon they should go for it, they would get hundreds of thousands if not millions of new players....:nod:

        But, the thing they are saying is that control is then decentralised and a lot of stuff like payments and adverts go to Microsoft or Sony.

        Good decision IMO.

              if that were true, than why is BF:BC being released as a console only title?

                Consoles field a larger quantity of idiots. Thus, more money. Everything is about the money.

                    Regardless of what people may think about consoles, I'm very happy with how DICE is developing separate games for each platform. Games released on console and PC simultaneously tend to suck :p

                        The Grand Theft Auto Games would have to the only exception the the porting failures and EA's Racing Games which are done very well.

                        But this is a free game and if you want to control all aspects of your game it has to be a PC only title. BFBC is probably just to give the console kids something to play with after the other Battlefield game they released for console. But with the PC DICE is able to push anything to the limits of only their imagination as with any developer which cannot be done on a console game due to it's hardware restrictions and other aspects of having to go through Sony or Microsoft to get things done.

                              See, people think that because consoles have "High def" that its good, which makes more people buy it. The thing they dont know is, pc players can just switch their GFx card and make it better, something you cant do on the consoles. Its always a debate because consoles are focused on gaming while pc's are more multitaskers. Sir. AAK625 was right and its all about the money. Sure some games are good but eventually they make their way to the pc. And i heard that BF:BC was supposted to be just mediocre. I dont know myself, becasuse im not a console player, but thats what i heard.
