1C’s Nikolay Baryshnikov has announced that for the first time they’ll be able to expand their ”vision with cross platform development.”
Captain Blood and IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds Of Prey will be targeting the Xbox360, PS3 and other platforms ”to bring superior games to every market.”
”1C is using cutting-edge technology, including the amazing power of modern consoles, to bring superior games to every market,” said Nikolay Baryshnikov, International Sales Director.
”Our aim is to bring our games to even more players and expand our vision with cross platform development. We are embracing any new gaming technology that will improve our products including digital downloads, consoles, handheld gaming, Epic’s Unreal 3 Engine, NVIDIA PhysX and DirectX 10.”
IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey will be worked onto Xbox360 and PS3 by developers Gaijin Entertainment, onto Nintendo DS by DiP Interactive and PSP by DYNAMICSYSTEMS. Captain Blood is an in-house project and is planned for PC and Xbox 360.
Both the games are scheduled for retail by the end of 2009, so a little wait is in order.
