Dead Space is Electronic Arts’ first foray into the survival-horror genre as the company tries something new besides the slew of movie licensed games and sports titles. In Dead Space, players take control of Isaac Clarke, an engineer who is sent on a search and rescue mission. What he finds out on this venture will be more than he can comprehend on many levels.
With an expected release date of late 2008, Electronic Arts is deep into the development process, ensuring that their first horror experience is a long-lasting and fearful one. It is not like they will have another chance at making a first appearance so Dead Space must be dead on. With the focus being on development, Electronic Arts has came out to confirm that the Xbox 360 is indeed the lead platform of development and that in a month or two, will switch to the PS3. Please do not be alarmed by this and believe that the PS3 version will be technologically inferior to the 360 version, because as Executive Producer, Chad Schofield explains, there is nothing to worry about.
"Right now we're leading and building and doing everything on the 360. Pretty soon in a month or two we will switch and lead on the PS3. That is so that you're not downgrading the PS3 later. We're putting all our engineering muscle into making the PS3 great, and then we'll know that the 360 will be great.
"The plan has to be, and it will be, on parity with the 360. Sony has seen the game so they know that that's what they want out of us. But I can absolutely assure you that the PS3 and the 360 will be the same. We're not going to gimp the 360 because the PS3 can't do it. We're going to optimise the crap out of it and make the PS3 really good, sort of like Burnout."
Remember, Electronic Arts holds the best regards for the PlayStation 3 as earlier this month, EA said the PS3 will outsell the 360 in 2008.

"We're not going to gimp the 360 because the PS3 can't do it. "
Doesn't that seem backwards? He is making it sound as if they can't get too advanced on the 360 version because then the PS3 couldn't keep up. I certainly don't think that is the case! Am I missing something here? -

So they backdoor insult the PS3? " You suck, but we love you." is what they really said. It's all good though. By this time next year the PS3 will have sold more than the 360. The EA will be on its knees blowing Sony and the PS3. In the meentime though I wont be buying anything from them.

First off. In terms of being "On Par" and them being proud of it, they should be doing no less than trying to give every gamer teh best expereince possible, no matter what the platform. Thus the "Oh we're going to make both versions awesome" really shouldn't exist eh? When did developers pride themselves on making games work properly on multiplatform!?
Also, he says it'll be on Par for each system like burnout was... and I'm pretty sure that burnout runs better on the PS3... or atleast thats what I hear from reviews and D.Jaffe. -

I'm sick of hearing of Developers saying that the PS3 version will be "On par" with the 360 version. I want to hear that the PS3 version will be Superior!

Here we go again...360 vs PS3. I'm concerned why 360 to PS3 ports are so poor on the PS3, but the reverse isn't true (ie Assasins Creed)- maybe it's only graphically, with the Xenon being a more advanced GPU than the RSX. But in game physics on the PS3 should be better (with 4 more functioning cores than 360) and I haven't witnessed this on ported games either.

PSN VIPER-G1 Thats good news, Its wickid to know that EA are finally giving us PS3 gamers something to be happy about in the form of less really cruddy ports, but what annoys me is the statement "we're not going to gimp the 360 becouse the PS3 can't do it". LOL we all no thats a load of balls don't we. And I hope Army of Two isn't botched on PS3 cause alot of us are looking forward to it.

They are going to say that they hold the ps3 in high reguard but we all know different, they say themselves that the xb360 is the leading platform on this game and that after a month or two switch to ps3 but i reckon it will be another port from xb360 guaranteed.

Right up untill the point where I just read this artical, I was realy looking forward to this game. Now after reading them balls**t comments from EA I dont know, I was waiting for Army Of Two, but I may have to give that a miss now, What a shame, Two good looking games I was feeling quite hyped about are now going to be Fecked off all coz EA are a bunch of Feckin Reatards. Silly little people. Tut Tut ! ! !

What he should have said was: "We're not going to gimp the 360 because we don't know how to do it on PS3"
PS3 IS the more powerful system - more cores, faster bus speeds etc. Remember, several 'AAA' titles on 360 aren't even in hi-def - they're upscaled. That tells you all you need to know about the raw power of the systems.
The fact that EA are taking so long to get up to speed, when smaller companies are working marvels.

What a dumb ass, PS3 is more powerful than 360 so they should start out on the PS3 then down grade to the 360. All you have to do is look at first party games on PS3 and see that the 360 couldn't even handle them let me name one game, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune.(Thats all I have to say)
