PS3 is Lead Platform For Medal of Honor
Dubbed the “true sequel to the Call of Duty 4 campaign”, Medal of Honor is one of the most promising shooters which will be released this year. Featuring awe-inspiring visuals and entertaining classic MOH gameplay, EA are looking to challenge Modern Warfare once again. During the GDC, it’s been revealed that Medal of Honor, a series that originally debuted on a Sony console, will use PlayStation 3 as its lead development platform.
During the Game Developers Conference 2010, Joystiq managed to snag a preview of the Medal of Honor reboot, where they received news that the PS3 will indeed be the lead platform.
The producer confirmed that development is being led on the PS3, and he reiterated Sony’s previous claims that a game that starts out on Sony’s hardware will be better suited for multiplatform production; benefiting both PS3 and Xbox 360. The PS3 demo I saw ran at a very solid framerate, although it appeared to be displaying in a sub-HD resolution. Regardless, I was still impressed by the current build’s more-than-solid performance.
The core gameplay apparently revolves around Call of Duty, as the game is hailed as the “true” sequel to one of the if not the best shooter in history: Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. JoyStiq also mentioned that the single-player won’t “revolutionize” the genre, but you can bet the multiplayer component will. After all, it does have a completely separate engine to support it.
Some new screenshots may give you the reason for why the shooter is highly regarded. Check out the shots below:
Medal of Honor is penciled down for a release this Autumn.

idk about you guys but im pretty excited for this game. MW2 was downright disappointing for me since they really didn’t change any of the essential multiplayer components but instead made it campville. I am hoping that this Medal of Honor will be what MW2 shouldve been.
I don’t understand why they would want to dub it the “true sequel to the Call of Duty 4 campaign”
Wouldn’t you want to completely differentiate your game from your competition. How can it be a true sequel to another company’s game?? Obviously they can’t continue the story that was started in COD4.
by the way…I expect this to become a trend more and more in the industry. The PS3 will be the lead platform for design because it is much easier to make a successful port going from PS3 to 360 than 360 to PS3, not to mention I think developers will enjoy taking full advantage of the PS3 hardware. The 360 owners just have to hope that developers don’t get carried away with the blu-ray capabilities and start making a lot of huge games that would mean multiple disc versions for the 360.
l’m interested in this game

actually I want that to happen. I mean Final Fantasy isn’t enough for the 360 fanboys to realize the power of the PS3. We need as many multi-platform games as we can to utilize the power and make it more annoying to port over to the 360. This console generation is going to down in history as the most ass backwards one ever.
