Ignition Entertainment, Ltd has revealed that its title, WarDevil: Enigma, will be exclusive to the Sony PlayStation 3.
Hidden within a press release that announced UTV Software Communication's acquisition of a controlling stake of Ignition, WarDevil creative director Andy Whitehurst seems totally stoked to be working with the PlayStation 3:
"The project is being developed exclusively for the Sony Playstation3(tm) and we're excited to be associated with Sony's next generation system. WarDevil is designed to leverage not only the videogames properties of the system, but also the Blu-Ray and media rich functions of the PS3 - presenting a unique combination of both Videogame & Motion Picture into a single, unique product, which gives cinematic High Definition content (1080P) in real-time on the PS3."
UTV is a premiere media and entertainment company (one that this silly American has never heard of) and Ignition Entertainment, Ltd. is a UK development studio (that I've never heard of prior to the WarDevil project). So should PS3 owners and Sony fan boys care? The screens look pretty slick, but until I see someone playing the game with a Sixaxis, I'm going to withhold judgement.
With talk of how difficult and expensive it is to create games for the PlayStation 3, it seems odd that an unknown entity would find its way to the platform exclusively (particularly at the hands of relatively unknown developers). But maybe, just maybe, the PS3 is the new Unicron, and is as powerful and capable as Sony would like everyone to believe.

That lazer shooting scene reminded me alot of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
Sony must have put more than a few eggs in that basket to secure the exclusive on this one. Gameplay has been absent, so it is anyones guess if it worth a crap or not.
Sony needs to get their shit together.
Nothing against the M company(maybe a little but not for the sake of this example), they wouldn't be the matrix cause all of their systems have glitches. They could never have the machines to run and take over the world, it about a year or couple years they would break down after being updated with new protocol.
I forget if the Matrix started with a robot or just a "computer file" for lack of a better word. The robots would be hardware which is something that they just don't really do...they are more software.
But not saying Nintendo would have Matrix, but I feel the possibilities COULD be higher.
Wow, I am reading way too much into that comment...
Oh and as for who holds the matrix... i'm going with nintendo... I always saw them as the least evil of the 3 companies... Microsoft would be more like the decepticons =P

Y'know, one thing you need to ask is WHY they couldn't deliver the game to the 360. From what it seems, they orginally wanted to release it for both consoles, but now some places like ign show that the launch for the 360 has been canceled, but not the PS3... If i had to guess, i would say it was a technology issue and not something like cost... and since i don't know much about the tech of both systems and think they have similar amount of power, i'd say that tech difference would be related to the blu ray.
With the increasing abilities of game tech and increasing file sizes, the PS3 might find success in the long run. I mean, in a year or so, developers like this one may find themselves needing to resort to HD-DVD or Blu-ray tech... which basically would force them over to PS3 since they are the only ones that offer it... that is unless the 360 can play HDdvd games through their expansion, and not just movies (of which i'm not sure)... though this is all specualtion from someone who knows squat about technology =P
this game was announced for PS3 wayyyy back (2005 maybe?) actually; then it was 360... and now 360 again. but yah; they have videos at their site, and i think gametrailers.com has some videos too. anyways; it looks pretty spectacular, and they show it running in real time. its the game (besides the killzone prerendered video) that first got me excited for the ps3.
