Mercenaries 2 on Xbox 360: a tale of the tape

by James Ransom-Wiley on Dec 22nd 2006 1:25PM

Either the developers of Mercenaries 2 play a lot of Xbox 360 in their downtime, or Pandemic is bringing its sandbox sequel to Microsoft's console. The chances are strong, even by admission, but Mercs 2 remains exclusively tied to PlayStation 3 -- for now. So guys, care to explain all the 360 equipment cluttering the office in your latest video blog? Perhaps it's time for the official announcement...

They are prob. developing for PS3 and 360 ... no system with 100 million+ install base = multiplatform games. What I want to know is how in the hell Sony can afford all the R&D for the PS3, lose several hundred dollars per unit AND pay game companies to pretend to be exclusive...oh wait, yahoo finance says $18+ billion in debt..there you have it.

BTW, microsoft debt = 0

Now who is gonna be around longer to make game consoles?

If you look at the white board behind the guy that wants a dradel then you will see how it says EDC'S (???) then PS3/360. It is about 4 rows up from the bottom of the board. Also on his desk I see a Xbox 360 Retail game package, meaning they are potentially just playing 360 games int heir off time???

if anyone cares, or is even reading this far, the tv behind the guy (lower right picture) is displaying the launcher screen for the 360 dev kit.

They do have dev kits. You can see the dev kit launcher on the TV on the botton right picture at the top of this article.

You can not play 360 games on a dev kit, only games you produce yourself. So they have dev kits meaning they are writing games for them.
