PC Victory: Battlefield 3 To Be Scaled Down For Consoles
Battlefield 3 is perhaps one of the most anticipated games of 2011. It arrives in October and will likely see hundreds of thousands of sales on day one. As a AAA title, it behooves BF3 to debut on the 360, PS3, and Windows at the same time. But the last several years have seen troubling compromises in PC versions, obviously being made because of console restraints. Just recently I panned Dungeon Siege 3, a major production if I've ever seen one, for this exact problem. But it looks like the shoe is on the other foot with BF3: maps are going to be more "compact" and player counts reduced to from 64 on the PC version to 24 on console.As a PC gamer myself, I believe I have a valid right to be smug here. The shoddy console ports we've seen have been so blatant that for years we've wondered why they bother at all. And here we have (as they promised) a game actually made for the PC and then scaled down for the consoles.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/YcJapPtbXtg/
