Velvet Assassin showing no love for PS3

For those of you hoping to jump in the skintight leather pants of Violette Summer and thwart German Nazi's on your PlayStation 3 next year, you may be in for a disappointment.
Speaking with PSU.com, a Gamecock representative confirmed that Replay Studios is not developing a PS3 version of Velvet Assassin.
"Unfortunately there will not be a PS3 version of Velvet Assassin," said the representative. "The reason being that Replay Studios started off as a PC development team, then branched into 360 development as the transition was 'relatively simple', but their engine does not support PS3."
However, if you are still up for killing Nazi's and running sabotage missions in a World War II setting, keep in mind Pandemic is working on a new title called Saboteur, which will be hitting store shelves in 2009.

Understandable. I really think that was been the issue with the majority of western devs.
EDIT: It has nothing to do with laziness. Know how, time and resources all matter. I wouldn't want them to even attempt a port at this time. It will make everyone mad.

I suppose they are too "lazy" to develop it for the Wii too. It's not their fault that Sony decided to make a radical hardware change that makes development more difficult. Just be glad there are people that ARE willing to spend massive amounts and time and money on the PS3 when PC and 360 are cheaper, easier, and so far have yielded better results.

I hate lazy developers. The Bioshock team did it just fine. And when the ps2 came out it was "difficult to develop for" as well. And it is STILL hopping.

More and more bad news are coming out, proving that today the best console to chose from is strongly becoming the XBox. don't kill me for saying this, but MS keeps winning and winning battle after battle. Multi plat games are better, all major 3rd party games all come out on the Xbox, and the Xbox shows some power with games like Gears of war 2. Not to mention the price. Things have never looked worse to Sony like today.

dude this has been known forever, ever since this game was announced it was announced as a 360 exclusive.
their reason is justified if their engine doesn support ps3 it would be a waste of resources, especially if you're a small dev to try and develop on it and would hurt the game across all platforms. Then there will be nothing but whining.
I really don't care abou this game anyway

*sighs* when will these idiot developers learn? Like representatives from M$ always say " Technology is always changing, and is always changing fast", Get caught up with the new technology that gets put on the table you LAZY DEVELOPERS, SO START GETTING USED TO THE CELL POWER AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.

More W.W.II Cr@p? They can keep it. Now if this had been set during the Vietnam War and we hadn't got it, then I would be mad. Why do they always have to be set during W.W.II? Why can't they be set during the 30's where you play some hobo who works his way up to moonshiner and then becomes a rich rum runner? There needs to be more hobos in games!!! *anyone is free to steal this idea from me by the way, I actually would like to see a game like that* I would say these game developers are watching too much History Channel, but if that were true, you'd be seeing a bunch of games about chopping down trees and driving on iced over lakes ;) Even the History Channel has got tired of doing W.W.II stuff...obviously the game companies haven't :/ You want to do another W.W.II game, FINE, here's an idea for you. You play a Japanese kid who lives in Hiroshima, your town gets nuked, you live and must survive in the days after the bomb dropped.

no regrets, the game graphics sux anyway, also these side stories of world war 2 invented from imagination. Japanese developers are the best! western developers are not used that much to japanese hardware. compare this espionage game to MGS4 and you will know of what I speak. so thx Velvet Assassin developers but PS3 fans dont need your sucky product
