Is NBA Live 09 (PC) next-gen?

[jayp]

i was thinking of getting a ps3 to play next-gen but i read on another thread/forum that next year's Live for PC is gonna be ported from ps3/x360, is there any truth to this? if there is i'll just hold out and get a new PC instead..

Nothing has been confirmed as yet. A lot of people are hoping so, myself included.

[jayp]

thanks! hopefully its gonna be ps3/x360 port

[Impakt]

by next year, you would think that the ps2 would be phased out and usually as they port the games it should be next gen

[Andrew]

That seems likely but it's still speculation at this point.

Don't hold your breath. Haven't you people learned any better not to expect the best out of EA? I did and was sorely disappointed two years in a row (Live 07 and 08).

Porting an xbox/ps2 version is out of the question, since they are no longer made, so if the pc version will still be published, it has to be ported from the current consoles (360/ps3). The hardware requirements will get steeper, but the game will still be technically inferior to games like Crysis. I see no problem why they shouldn't do it but to be their usual lazy selves.

Well the only thing that really scares me is that the Wii version is running on a modified version of the PS2/xbox versions. So we may still get screwed over. The only glimmer of hope is what Peter Moore said in that conference call about the PC platform.
