Lead Platform For Hitman: Absolution Is Playstation 3

Game director Tore Blystad stated in a recent interview that the lead platform for Hitman: Absolution was the Playstation 3. He also made a statement saying that they made this choice because the PS3 can produce better results than the 360. His full Statement read:

“The PS3 is a difficult beast, so if it works on that then we take that as a good sign for the other platforms. Most of the developers are using the PS3 kits to test their stuff.

“The PS3 and 360 versions look very similar to each other because the memory and things like that are of a similar power. But the way the systems use the memory makes the textures look a bit different sometimes, and we have to trim them down on occasion [for 360].”

Hitman: Absolution’s release date is currently unknown, but the game is currently slated for a 2012 release on the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
