PS3 vs. PC action unlikely for The Agency
In an interview with the Next Generation site, SOE CEO John Smedley noted that 'crossplay' capability in The Agency is unlikely to see the light of day. PC and PS3 controls are just too different to allow players to compete head to head, though he notes players won't be lock into one format or the other. Paying players should be able to log into the game on either the PS3 or PC as they see fit. Said Smedley, "Would the mouse player have a unique advantage? Would we have to make the auto-aiming system on the console a lot better to compensate for that? That would take some of the skill element away on the console." The company's commitment to making this game a fantastic twitch-based experience on par with something like Counter-Strike would seem to be restricting the scope of the project; a good thing, I think.%Gallery-12934%
