Lords of the Fallen not on PS3 and Xbox 360

Lords of the Fallen is an upcoming hack and slash action role-playing game developed by German game developer Deck13 Interactive in collaboration with Polish studio CI Games and published by Bandai Namco Games. But PS3 and Xbox 360 owners will not be able to enjoy the game as it the game won't be releasing on PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms. In an interview with Worlds Factory, Deck13 Interactive engine/graphics programmer Michele Giacalone talked about why the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 versions of the game were cancelled.He mentioned that switching to the “next generation” was one of the biggest challenges while developing the game.

"Moreover, in order to achieve the best performance on the new hardware we decided to not maintain back compatibility with DirectX 9 and previous generation consoles. For example we dropped completely our deferred lighting renderer – necessary on the Xbox 360 – in favour of a full deferred rendering approach saving a nice amount of time in draw calls. Getting back to the question, we couldn’t have achieved such result on the previous generation hardware."-Michele Giacalone

For the above reason, the developers didn’t feel they couldn’t have achieved the same amount of detail if the game was to be released for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Lords of the Fallen releases October 28th in North America and October 31st in Europe.
