Oh little old EA, we just
love to hate you, don't we? Well, another feather for your cap came from a recent piece over at Gamasutra in which EA's
Vice President and General Manager Neil Young commented on Nintendo's console. Turns out EA is
working on titles for the Revolution, although Neil thinks that the lack of native HD support and crazy horsepower will
have a large impact on the success of the console and created a very noticeable air of apathy regarding the system
during the brisk interview."The hardware performance is sort of current gen plus, versus the 10x or 20x multiple that you get on next-gen. I mean, EA is building stuff for it, but I kind of prefer the DS."
He also goes on to comment on adjusting a PC game to a console controller, something that he should honestly be very enthused about on the Revolution, but seems to be more excited with the Xbox 360's controller. The remote could very much be a mouse and would work wonderfully for RTS games, so why would he think that the console wouldn't be up to the task? Oh, right, I forgot a RTS game is solely dependant on having amazing HD visuals.
