Kaos' upcoming multiplatform FPS may be dropping the PS3 version. The title was originally planned for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 release. However, the PS3 version has mysteriously vanished from retailer databases. Comments from moderators do little to quell the fear that the PS3 version has been quietly axed. An official comment from THQ is yet unavailable, but we wouldn't be surprised if the game was either canceled altogether, or significantly delayed. Once again, could this be yet another title that has fallen by the wayside due to the PS3's uniquely difficult architecture? And more importantly, do any PS3 fans care about the loss of this FPS, in light of upcoming releases, such as Haze and Resistance 2?

I don't think too many of us cared about Frontlines, but this seems like furthur proof that Ken Foreman made this thing too damn complicated.

If you read on, there's evidence that it is just being delayed.

Well, I wouldn't have planned on buying this, but Resistance 2, that is a game I am looking forward to.

Perahps Crysis, there has been a masive rumor the past days, i still cant tell why PS3Fanboy did not reported it, and the other places did do it
Anyway, if by some miracle we indeed get Crysis and the stupid xbots dont, then who cares about an inferior game as frontlines

Weird having your game design teacher involved in the development of frontline. I was hyped for this game but if its out for pc, I can get it. With Haze coming out, I think Ill choose haze over frontlines

Whoa. I'd never heard of Frontlines until just now. Sad excuse for a fanboy I am. Anyway, I am not specifically sad that the PS3 will not be getting Frontlines, but I have to be honest and say that games being cancelled/indefinitely delayed for your console cannot really be a good thing.
At least the real big hitters for later this year are more or less guaranteed to exist at least at some point. (LBP, Resistance 2, MGS4, Killzone2 etc. etc.) With those titles, I doubt many people will really be missing Frontlines.

Like everyone else, I'm not exactly moved by this event (even though this was like a week old =P). But eh, I guess it's still another loss for the PS3 which implies that developers still don't view the PS3 as a machine worth developing for.
Still from a consumer's standpoint, I rather get Haze =).

The fact that is has drivable/useable vehicles and RFOM2(as of yet) has no vehicles, and Haze seems to have limited vehicle use, the loss of Frontlines seems pretty crappy to me.
I guess UT3 and Warhawk are the only types of games like that we get to play for a while. Frontlines seemed to actually be doing new things with the sandbox+war+vehicles+online genre, and I have no money for a PC overhaul.

Resistance 2 and Haze have both land and air vehicles available in single and multiplayer, the difference being that R2 and Haze are from highly acclaimed developers with an excellent track record, whereas Frontlines is from a bunch of noobs.
That doesn't mean it won't be good, but I'd be interested to know what "new things" the game is doing. To me it just looks like a generic Battlefield clone.
It'll have to get some pretty spectacular reviews before I consider parting with any cash for it (on PC). The previews I've seen for it weren't exactly glowing.

I played the demo that was release a little while back, in short it wasnt great..hell is was pretty awful. the new battlefield and haze is out in march so losing this game shouldnt be on anyone's radar.

Well that would explain why the demo was only available on the Xbox 360 Marketplace.

How did Haze end up becoming a PS3 exclusive, since it's from Ubisoft?

they were unable to make the game work on the 360... disc constraints, processor, etc.
that should adequately fan the flames of war.

I got a call on Friday from the Gamestop automated service telling me the PS3 version of Frontlines was cancelled by the developer.
