Bioware/Pandemic talk Revolution

The guys at Gamasutra had a talk with Pandemic CEO Josh Resnick concerning the Revolution. Both Bioware and Pandemic were involved in the questioning, the two companies share a mutual executive committee.

GS: Is either company making a Revolution game right now?

JR: We’re enthralled with the platform just as much as we are with the 360 and PS3. Each of them have very different strengths that our games are going to play to. But we haven’t announced any commitments yet.

GS: Do you perceive difficulties with the Revolution, as far as making games multi-platform?

JR: Well the Revolution is a very different platform, and we’ve actually just seen some things behind closed doors that are just mind-blowing. Very very exciting. They’re doing something that’s very different and unique. I agree that it’s going to challenge the notion of just doing a port.

I don’t think it’s going to be as easy to take a product from one console to the Revolution, and so I think we are going to be looking to see how we can tailor our products to that platform. But we do that also with other platforms as well, it’s just that the Revolution may challenge us even more.

Mr. Resnick talks about challenge with the Revolution, but he says so in a positive light. He also mentions some “mind blowing” things he has seen behind doors. I wonder what he could have seen, those are some pretty bold statements. Sounds like these teams are pretty interested in what the Revolution has to offer, hopefully we will have a firm commitment from them in the near future.
