“Electronic Arts has confirmed that the PlayStation 3 version its upcoming soccer outing FIFA 09 will feature graphics “at least as good” as its Xbox 360 counterpart.

“This year we’ve done a heap of work to make sure that the actual visuals of the game are at least as good on PS3 as 360, to the extent where we’ve had meetings with executives that have basically been fine tooth combing almost, taken a microscopic look at what’s going on to make sure they are as good as each other, and they are,” said FIFA 09 Producer, David Rutter, during an interview with Videogamer.com

Speaking in regards as to why much attention was needed to get the PS3 version up to scratch, Rutter explained this was due to the fact developers initially worked on creating an Xbox 360 version first.

“A lot of it is to do with the fact that when all the game teams around the world started work on console games they ended up making a 360 version before a PS3,” he said.

So tools and technologies were there to support 360 in advance of PS3, and the investment required to do both is obviously an up front cost, and it takes a little while to catch up.”

“Yeah. As far as we’re concerned we’re there. There is parity, as it’s called, between 360 and PS3 for us. We’re chuffed about that,” added Rutter”.
