Is that a record for a multiplatform game?

Only talking about concurrent releases -- not reissues or rehashes.

Scary to think we could be up to 10 supported platform next year ...

 

[Deg]

There are games that have done as many before. Fifa 2004 for example.

Is that a record for a multiplatform game?

Seeing that there's never been that many viable platforms on the market at the same time, I'd say yes.

 

[Suikoguy]

haha, N-Gauge
I'm not even sure why they bother

That is scary... to the publishers. They simply cannot support that many platforms. And worst of all, it means that EVERY version of the game is so watered down to support the various input options, graphics, etc.

By and large, I hate multiplatform games. They simply have no "soul" or identity. 95% of my library are exclusives.

Nothing on the mac is EVER a concurrent release. Except for Diablo, if I remember correctly.

Count in the cellphone version for the FIFA 2005 (FIFA 2004 actually came out for several cellphone platforms such as Symbian and Mophun). Also, the inevitable PSP version, and likely DS version as well.

 

[sonycowboy]

what about the psp?

I think that's what he's saying with 10 platforms next year.

1) Gameboy Advance
2) Gamecube
3) Nintendo DS
4) NGage
5) PC
6) Playstation
7) Playstation 2
8) PSP
9) Xbox
10) Xbox 2

and maybe

11) Tapwave?? (They've gotten Tiger Woods right)
12) Standard smartphones

 

[sprsk]

oh yeah i forgot psp on puyo fever, make that 8

 

[sc0la]

Well at least we won't have to discuss who has an "non-multiplatform" exclusive game on the most consoles *cough*capcom*cough*

 

[MarkMacD]

Puyo Fever Xbox was canned.

 

[GDJustin]

Tony Hawk was on all the aforementioned consoles, AND the Tapwave.

 

[akascream]

I entered this thread thinking they set a record for the highest number of surfaces to jump around on in a platformer. :retard

 

[Defensor]

I thought EA would have cancelled PSone support by now, I'm suprised.

 

[sonycowboy]

People,

He's talking about simulataneous releases, not ports.

Or else Tetris would win.
