As your read here, EA previously put Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 on hold. Furthermore, no version of Command and Conquer : Kane’s Wrath has been announced for the PS3. This had led PS3 fans to wonder if the Command and Conquer team still had the love for the PS3. Seeking to put these fears to rest, Jim Vessella, the associate producer of Kane’s Wrath told videogamer.com that EA was still “very interested” in the PS3 and “big fans” of the PlayStation 3.

Vessella, when asked why there was no version of Kane’s Wrath for the PS3, replied “The PS3, it would just be extra development time we didn’t really have right now, so we could focus on the 360. And also specifically with Kane’s Wrath, because we’re building off of the foundation of Tiberium Wars it was just a natural transition to continue with the 360 exclusive development.

“Although we are very interested in the PS3. We’re big fans of the console. We’re definitely moving forward on that front for hopefully our future titles. You’ll have to talk to the Red Alert 3 team specifically about future plans for PS3 and also our future games going forward. So we’re definitely looking at the PS3, but for Kane’s Wrath, just not yet.”

He continued by reassuring fans that EA would be moving forward on PS3 development of real time simulations and giving it the effort it deserves. “I think that going forward in the near future we’ll be able to really focus on getting really good PS3 versions,” he told VideoGamer.com. “And that’s the other thing. We don’t want to just port it over to the PS3 without giving any care as to what really makes that console successful. We really want to put care and heart into every version that we do. And so we really want to be able to dive into PS3 and give it the attention it deserves. We’re really hoping that will happen pretty soon.”

Stay tuned for any further developments.
