PS3 Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Will Not Be an Xbox 360 Port

Good news for Rainbow Six Vegas fans. The upcoming sequel, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, will not be a port from the Xbox 360 version.

Philippe Therien, a designer on the title, said that the team is "working really hard right now to put them on par graphics wise" but admitted that there will be "slight differences" each version, including lighting.

He went on: "They're (the PS3 and Xbox 360) very different. PS3 and Xbox 360, it's not the same at all. When we were working it's not like there's a 360 version and it's being ported on PS3, that doesn't really work. So what we did is we split the team in three, we got people working on Xbox, people playing PlayStation and people working on PC. These three teams are working together but in parallel to make sure everything gets to the same point. That's not to say that one console is better than the other, they're just different. We just want people to choose the platform of their choice to play Vegas the way we want them to."

Well, maybe this time around (with multiplatform games), we won't get the short end of the stick. We will wait and find out.
