Great news for the PC Gamers!!!
VideoGamer (http://www.videogamer.com/) has posted up another story today saying that a console version of BFH is highly unlikely. Take a look:
Speaking to VideoGamer.com at an EA Games label event in London today, Ben Cousins, executive producer at DICE Studios, said that he didn't believe there would be any point in porting it to the PS3 or Xbox 360 because "Everyone's who's got a 360 or PS3 also will have a PC that can run this game".
When asked if there would be a console version of Battlefield Heroes, Cousins said: "There's a lot of interest about us doing that. People mention it all the time. We really want to focus on the PC at the moment. The great thing about the PC for us is we can control the website, we can control all of the transactions, all of the advertising, we can tailor the service. If we went on 360 we would have to go through the MS process. Every time we added new content it would have to go through all of the MS vetting processes, it would go through their billing system. We really want to control this. There's a small group of guys at the DICE studio in Stockholm and they run it like a start up. They're just Heroes totally focused. So we really like the freedom the PC gives us to control the whole experience."
Cousins added that despite the fact that a console version of Battlefield Heroes is technically possible, DICE wouldn't gain anything from such a move.
