Battlefield 1943 Sees Huge Launch, Coral Sea to Unlock Soon

Battlefield 1943 logo.I’ve been stuck away from home this weekend for a few family events, which means I’ve been missing out on the absolute carnage taking place over Battlefield servers. In the first day of action alone there were more than 5 million kills recorded (for the 360 alone!), pushing everyone ever closer to the ‘Coral Sea’ map unlock, which requires total kills of 43 million for each platform. As it stands, the 360 market is well ahead of the PS3.

It’s not surprising to see Xbox Live numbers topping those of Playstation Network. What is surprising is the sheer number of hours, well, years actually, people logged on 1943’s first day. How much time, you ask? How about 29.45 years on the first day. Yes, just shy of the 30 year mark.

As VG247 put it, you lot should probably go outside.

Not Everyone Hates the PS3

Dragon Age: Origins.With Sony’s CEO weighing in on the PS3 price cut rumors, it’s hard not to focus on all of the people begging for it to happen and how unhappy they are with the platform. Well not everyone is as riled up as Activision. In fact, some folks, some very important folks, are actually enjoying their PS3 development.

The good tidings come from none other than BioWare, famed developers of Mass Effect and the upcoming Dragon Age: Origins. In fact, it’s DA:O they’ve been having so much fun with. Talking to videogamer.com, the DA:O team called developing for the PS3 “exciting,” and said they’re “really pumped” to be working with the platform. Sounds a little contrived, but they get more specific as the article goes on.

It’s funny, we had extra graphic memory left over on the PS3. We were like, wow! So we actually started putting some of the audio bits in there and stuff. It’s a function of effort. Overall, pretty happy with how it’s turning out.

With all the bad news spewing forth about PS3 development, it’s nice to see a little good in there, especially if you’re a PS3 owner.
