New Castlevania built first for PS3
Xbox 360 in its shadow
While Castlevania: Lords of Shadow will appear on both PS3 and Xbox 360, developer Kojima Productions has revealed that PS3 has been the leading platform from which the Xbox 360 version will be based.
Producer David Cox explained the use of PS3 as the leading platform for the game's development won't slight the Xbox 360 version when posting to the game's Twitter account.
"PS3 is the lead platform but the game is identical on both formats."
That shouldn't be surprising given the PS3 development experience gained by Kojima Productions in crafting blockbuster Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. It's relatively good news too since multi-platform games developed primarily on Xbox 360 tend to be measurably inferior on PS3 - Bayonetta as an example - whereas both version seem to fare well when PS3 leads the process.
