Howard shows off the Bethesda games on the Xbox platform, saying it’s a lot easier to start up and to show off, not to mention when people see the PC version — they’ll still be blown away.
Skryim has been big talk recently, and it gets even bigger on PC. Howard has admitted that he prefers to show off the Bethesda titles on the Xbox 360 when he goes to trade shows such as E3 and other events.
The reason for this, he explains, is “For things like this [tradeshows] – I don’t know if people realise – but as a game developer, the 360 is just much easier to show it on: from getting it started, to showing it, to controlling it, it’s just much easier to demo on logistically.”
Howard also noted that the PC version will obviously look much better, he said that he sees the console game as a good “Baseline” to show off the games.
“Obviously, the PC version looks better: it has higher textures, it can run much higher resolution and a lot more graphic features,” he said.
“We tend to show it on 360 so that it’s a good baseline for people to look at, so when they then see the PC version it’s going to go up. We’d rather do that than have people see the 360 later and it takes a step down.”
The PC version is going to be a lot prettier, and in the past they have made it extremely easy to ad modifications to it, so perhaps they will do it again but on platforms on the PS3 an Xbox 360 Mods are much more difficult due to its platform.
