PS3 lead platform for Skate 2

Black Box has confirmed that the PS3 will be the lead format for Skate 2, due to criticisms levelled at its predecessor.

Speaking to GAMER.tm recently, Black Box producer Jason DeLong confirmed that the PS3 version of Skate 2 would be the lead version of the game, after the PS3 version of Skate 1 was criticised for not being as good as its 360 counterpart.

“The PS3 has been our lead platform,” DeLong confirmed.

According to DeLong, this was due to “the PS3 version Skate not being as good as the 360 version,” adding that it “was something we learned very quickly that we had to remedy on the second one.”

“We’re definitely been developing [both versions] in parity.

“The goal is that if you put both versions side-by-side, you will not be able to tell the difference.”

So in a nutshell then, followers of both consoles will benefit. Skate 2 is due out sometime next year.

Have EA finally gone the right way?

sounds like they have to give more effort to make sure it even looks the same as the Xbox version ...... that's what I gathered from that quote anyway.

Aw crap. So instead of looking better than Skate 1, it's gonna have to stay the same so the PS3 can try catch up

not stay the same, regress

Any bets, now that the PS3 will be the lead console for skate 2, sites like kotaku ,gamespot and IGN wont bother having side by side comparisons/screen shots, they will just give both games 8.5/10 and move on.

I totally disagree, I think even more sites will offer side by side comparisons.

Church, the gaming sites aren't inherently anti-PS3. It's just that it keeps losing ...
