Incorrect.

The game was originally meant for and was up and running on the original Xbox as a Prince of Persia spin off.
Then got re-tooled for next gen.

The PS3 debut was actually a paid info blackout so Sony would have something big on the show floor at the time, it was always a multiplat title.

And what was on thr show floor wasn't running on a PS3, it was actually a PC running the DirectX version with a PS2 controller.

It was pretty well known that it was a sham as the UBI employees on the show floor at the time were being flat out honest with the media about it being multiplatform, the fanboys however just really wanted to believe that had an exclusive and pulled the old fingers in the ears "La La La I can't hear!" you routine. Xmun

for those who say EA doesn't do exclusives

C&C 3 & LOTR: BFME 2 are 360 exclusives (yes, I know they're on the PC, talking consoles here)

new video. but I guess it has to be fake....right? I mean the screenshots don't like this

Haven't had time to publish any of them online yet though... Deadline for the print magazine has been brutal this month.

From the first couple of hours or so... Seems like these guys have taken screens for further into the game and looks like they're not playing the same build as I am. There are late builds with major problems.

The tool provided by MS to capture screens from a debugg is utter *censor* unfortunately. Most screens taken with it looks far worse than the game. I've seen the craziest *censor* appear in them that you never see on screen. The major problem usually is the colors than look washed out. But Mass Effect has the same problem as Knights of the Old Republic where it sometimes takes a second for the shaders and/or textures to load. That may account for some of the blurry stuff.

It's something that really comes out more in stills. The game looks fantastic in my opinion.

Lol, here's what CNET said, and not some random poster: http://blogs.cnet.com/8301-13506_1-9783413-17.html

Up to this point, the Playstation 3 has performed about as poorly as we can expect from a console. With no games to tout as deal breakers, the PlayStation 3 is dead in the water. And while some still hope for the days of Killzone saving the PS3's day, it's time to give up hope--nothing can save it now.cnet

No Halo game or GeOW or bioshock can bring down the Playstation brand! PS2 is selling better than the 360 and the ps3 is coming out with great stuff. Home will be huge in the spring and MGS4 along with the FF games. Sony WILL WIN. they can't lose, they never have. JUST WAIT AND SEE.Friendlyfire53

So far its been: Wait until Motorstorm, Wait until VF5, Wait until Home (delayed) Wait until Lair, Wait until Heavenly Sword, Wait until Warhawkm.... and a price cut thrown in as well
