This would piss me off...

Despite ending over sixty years ago, World War II continues to rage in the games industry, the latest assault coming from French publisher Ubisoft, who have snubbed the Xbox 360 for their latest combat game in favour of Sony's PlayStation 3.

whats Bia? if its Brothers in Arms, then why is there an article of the game in the OXM?  maybe gameindustry is mistaken.  although i must admit that i was confused why in all of the announcement articles only the ps3 and PC were mentioned even though the article states that BiA3 is coming to next gen consoles

Odd news indeed, especially seeing as its Ubi. They dont benefit from casting a 360 version aside, hope they arent pulling a Capcom... "lets put RE 4 on the GC only and hurt ourselves financially" only 2 admit their faults and release it much later on another platform.

My gut tells me something is amiss and its heading to the 360 afterall.

I agree, it sounds like GI is just reading way too far into the announcement. I also seem to remember reading some OXM or TeamXbox interviews specifically about 360 version too... it wouldn't make sense for them to NOT release it on the 360 (even with the speculative journalism provided by GI).

something to bolster our opinion...

BiA 3 is currently pencilled in for an end of 2006 release, out on PC and all next-gen consoles.

Ubi has an excellent realtionship with MS, they'd be fools to make it a ps3 exclusive. If they do that, they go on the EA/Bungie list, but I'll still buckle and buy SC 4

No doubt it will hit the PS3, this might infact be true.

of course it will it the PS3... We're debating that it will be a PS3 EXCLUSIVE

ubi just isn't an exclusive kind of company..

sometimes I worry about you

we already know its headed to ps3  

[Shinamano]

I just got an issue of Game Informer (free subscription w/gamepass at gamestop) and it had an article about BIA on the 360 so that makes me feel better...

After seeing the shots on Xboxyde and the wonderful COD2 I have been psyched about this game...and the PS3 exclusive news was upsetting.

I plan to get a PS3 and a Rev, but the vast majority of my games will be played on the 360 as was the case with the Xbox.

Dont know what I was thinking that night I meant to say no doubt that it will hit the Xbox 360.

[VOlition]

I hope this game won't be a ps3 exclusive and I dont think it will. As one of you mentioned, Ubisoft nad MS arn't enemies or anything like that.

[incognegro]

hell i even heard that the 360 version might be playable at e3 or atleast a trailer.....

[richie579]

teamxbox says that ubi says that infamous screenshot is realtime 360....he said she said   ...the games industry is like high school sometimes

[KAGE360]

new screens (at least to me):







no word on what system these screens are from but they look great.
