Eurogamer: Why does not your PS3 version of Pacific?

Attila Soross: Battle Stations: Pacific appears only for Xbox 360 and PC. We are certainly in the PlayStation 3 as a major current gen platform interested, but there are currently no plans for an implementation of Battlestations: Pacific.

First of all I am dissapointed. I would have loved to see a PS3 version and would have been my primary choice so I guess it will be PC for me now.

Eurogamer: Released before you release a full version of a demo, and then download content?

Attila Soross : Yes, we are planning both a pre-release demo as well as download content for the game.

YEA!!!!

yay good to see some more news ceeps geting beter in each

[xgamerms999]

That was tough to read! lol

I'm worried about a few things though...

1. It says that there will be guided weapon tech

2. It says that the controls/interface has been completly redone. I hope that the old system isn't gone, it's fine to add systems (ie: options), but keep the old one for the veterans.

It also says that there are several new gametypes, I hope classic is still there.




Now I will have to wait for news on the maps.

Guided weapons? I hope he means the Ohka kamikaze plane because I don't want to see missiles in dogfighting. The Germans did have radio guided bombs and torpedoes that homed in on the sound of a ships prop but I don't think the Japanese or Americans had either of these. I won't mourn the loss of the old interface because there was room for improvement there but I hope they don't stray to far from the one in BSM.

[VTROOPER]

by guided they could also meen the kamkazie subs the japs used to (they were effective to got into a harbor that was well fortified and sank a tanker)

[-Incline-]

I'm really excited about the demo and eventual DLC, and other stuff sounds really cool as well.

But as stated, there are a few areas of concern. Please, no guided missiles!

And I sure hope they're not "dumbing-down" the game and interface in order to make it "more accessible" to the masses. That would be the worst thing they could do, imo.

[sstoffels]

wow that gave us a lot in that keep it comeing and that was hard to read
:D :D :D

[Colosseum]

Oh come on. You guys know you want AGM-84 Harpoon missiles and B-17s dropping AS-6 Kingfish supersonic long range anti ship missiles.

That would be simply awesome.

[chip5541]

I would want the Microwave cannon that the Japanese were working on and for the US I want the living bat bombs. :nut:

I have to agree though on the control redesign but I will withhold my judgement until I get my hands on it.

[Arrow]

The B-17s now LITERALLY carpet bomb enemy emplacements.

B-17 Crew: Rugs away!
Japanese: >.>

Ugly ship is ugly. :rasp:
Ugh, I can't stand modern warships! They have no character. The only modern warship that I like is any ship of the Nimitz class.

[com345]

They have no character

[Tex Vindictive]

Yeah,
I'm waiting for BS:Space Wars
