PLAYSTATION 3 BlackSite: Trouble In Development?



Just yesterday, we reported on the missing voice chat in the PLAYSTATION 3 version of BlackSite: Area 51. Now, we have even more news from an "insider".

"The PS3 version is experiencing issues and missed deadlines," he tells Opposable Thumbs. The insider also notes Midway's unhappiness with these issues; the PS3 demo and launch will likely end up being delayed as a result.

"Midway isn't happy at all about the progress, and it's a story I've heard over and over this year across the industry when it comes to the PS3 and cross-platform titles," the insider states.

BlackSite: Area 51 uses the Unreal Engine 3, which powers Midway games such as Unreal Tournament III and John Woo's Stranglehold, which are also being delayed on the PLAYSTATION 3 console.

What could the problem be? Maybe Sony should step in and lend a hand.
