Making Cross Platform a dream

[Andrew Rowe]

Now imagine this, making leadwerks a cross platform game engine. The capability of it would skyrocket with popularity, the only reason major companies such as epic games or Crysis wont use it is becuase you can't make PS3 or Xbox 360 games with it, if you were able to, i'm pretty sure more and more people would use this fabulous engine.

They tried to port CryENGINE 3 to PS3 also, but it looked so horrible that it's not really worth it.

I think it's best to wait for PS4 and XBOX720 which are closer to the power of a gaming PC.

That's the plan.

I still think they should give it a shot and see how it goes for a while.

There's also the fact that they would look rather silly if they spent millions building their own engine for years. One that works on all three platforms, and then they decided "You know what, Leadwerks Engine 2 works better than ours, we'll use this one instead". So much money would go to waste, so they'll probably stick with what they've got, and try to mimic the good bits of Leadwerks.

I'm a new company trying to get us off to a good start and i think that if they make leadwerks cross platform, it could be the engine we'de use our whole game design career.
