Today Ubisoft and Gearbox Software announced that Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway is in development for next generation video game platforms, including the PLAYSTATION 3 system and the PC. Scheduled for a holiday 2006 release, Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway is the third game in the multimillion-unit selling and critically acclaimed Brothers In Arms franchise.
Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway brings the critically acclaimed squad-based WWII shooter into the next generation of gaming with amazing graphics and sound, new cutting-edge gameplay features and a completely redesigned online component. Delivering on the franchise's compelling story, unrivaled authenticity and intense squad-based action, Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway drops you into Operation Market-Garden, the largest airborne operation of World War II. Lead Matt Baker, Joe Hartsock and the rest of the 101st Airborne Division as they fight to open "Hell's Highway" in a daring bid for a quick end to the war. "With Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway, Gearbox is investing everything to take next-generation gaming to an entirely new level," said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. "For Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway, the Unreal Engine 3 powers real next-generation graphics and the most intense, action-oriented recreation of true history ever offered as interactive entertainment." "Since the series was introduced last year, Brothers In Arms has consistently excelled at delivering a new style of tactical shooter wrapped up in an authentic WWII setting," said Francesca Reyes, editor-in-chief at Official Xbox Magazine (OXM). "As fans of the Brothers In Arms series, OXM is incredibly excited to be the first to reveal to readers the world-exclusive first-look at Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway." The issue is available on newsstands since April 11, 2006. ![]() Add Comment Unregistered - Richard 04.13.2006 10:08 It would be nice if M$ made the first 2 BIA XBox games BC while we wait. Unregistered - chimera 04.13.2006 10:48 ok...just one problem...and its only small but neverless considering its on this site and in OXM...ITS NOT ANNOUCED FOR 360! JUST PS3 AND PC lol (although please correct me if im wrong) Unregistered - Fizzle 04.13.2006 10:54 Sure it has been. Just do a bit of searching rather than asking people to hand you the info. Check IGN Check xbox360 monster etc etc Unregistered - Fizzle 04.13.2006 10:55 I am also pretty sure the screenshots you see are on the 360 development kits omegaheat 04.13.2006 11:23 That read worried me a little too. I don't doubt the game is being released for the Xbox360, but someone needs to edit this article. So far the only real next gen console available is the Xbox360. Can you imagine what kind of upgrades will be required to run these games on a PC. It's really got to stop somewhere. Perhaps that's one of the strong points with Windows Vista. PAUL CERULA 04.13.2006 12:22 I don't know what a concole is but I know I want one. Unregistered - egg 04.13.2006 13:39 http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/?p=news&pg=1#164 # Above is a link to an interesting interview with Randy Pitchford, one of the guys in charge of developement for BIA at Gearbox. And below is a little snippet of that interview which kind of sounds as if they prefer 360 at the moment. Pitchford: The 360 is a really exciting machine for us. I encourage any serious gamer to get one as soon as they can manage. I love mine with many of the titles that have already launched and I know there are some really amazing, truly next-gen games that won't be far off. I can personally vouch for the next-gen quality of Brothers in Arms 3, for example. The PS3 is very promising - I am very optimistic about it and the Sony platform is going to be an increasingly important platform. The Revolution is exciting - I am so thankful and impressed with Nintendo. I don't believe I will ever stop being a fan of theirs/features/gearbox_interview_gdc2006/ Take that as proof that BIA:HH is coming to 360. Unregistered - kev 04.13.2006 14:09 #2(not the austin powers one) "Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway is in development for next generation video game platforms, including the PLAYSTATION 3 system and the PC." It will be on the 360 b/c it says that it will come out for NEXT GENERATION consoles, INCLUDING ps3 and pc. F*** all of the GAYstation fanboys! Unregistered - Optimus 04.13.2006 16:25 This is a 360 screenshot of the game check any other site that has it posted. IGN though of course aren't going to make it clear that the screenshot everyone is looking at is from the 360 version of the game why? Because IGN recently became a sony partner and are now a marketing tool for sony. If it were a ps3 screenshot they would've gone out of their way to tell us that it was from the ps3, but noo...... lets post a 360 screenshot over in the ps3 section and in the press release not mention that the screenshot is a 360 one. Unregistered - Fizzle 04.13.2006 16:53 I think when the Sony SHEEP see this kind of graphics demonstated on a system they really want SO BAD TO HATE, it kind of kills them inside. Waiting for NOTHING. Just top throw some salt in the wound, here, take a look at this while your sitting around waiting doing nothing: http://gaming.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=5233&page=1 Yeah, your PS3 fans are right, the 360 has not power at all ........... Bahahahahahahahahahaha You will open your eyes soon enough (when is E3 ??) and do what YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO DO and buy a 360. Unregistered - asdasd 04.13.2006 17:19 This is most likely a 360 shot, although Ubisoft and Gearbox have only labeled these pictures as "next-gen". The only thing ps3 hopefuls can do is argue that this is not a xbox 360 picture. Or even more funny, that it "cannot be done on the 360". And they are, wihtout arguement, flat wrong. What happened to all the "this screen sucks" "Xbox 1.5" remarks? Sad day for sony fans... too stupid to predict the 360's futures When the 360 first came out I said to myself seeing COD2.. "Those graphics suck" But then I read about what the developers were doing with the system.. and it was practically nothing. Games do not all look like this (brother in arms)for the 360 because of the developers... its not the hardware's fault... I am sorry. Now that more and more developers are getting familiar with the 360, we are begining to see what games should look like. Do not believe me, E3 will tell. Wait wait... you will not be able to play the ps3 at E3 because sony is planning on showing it to you through a glass box like they did the psp! This late in a console production... and they are afraid of letting everyone try it. I got oblivion yesterday and palyed it for 11 hours... the game looks great! I am disapointed with the distint backgroud thoughs... but it was worth every penny I spent Unregistered - asdasd 04.13.2006 17:21 ^^^ had some grammar issues there explaining oblivion. I meant to say the distant backgrounds disapointed me. Like on the worldmap.. the trees in the distant look crappy to all the things close to the screen. Unregistered - Devon Williams 04.13.2006 18:19 Microsoft should buyout Ubisoft to make exclusive XBOX360 away from PS3 or Rev. Unregistered - pro-logic 04.13.2006 21:51 This game is going to be in my collection,i don't yet have a game for ww2 gnre,this will do nicely Unregistered - Yanick 04.14.2006 01:12 Speaking of WAR GAMES, I love BF2 for the online and clans and stuff, but I REALLY REALLY hope that patch it (like with COD2) so I can host private games and not have to juggle with people forming, joining and then leaving to join another clan crap that is what it is right now to play with FRIENDS ONLY. Anywho, BIA will be mine when released. Looks killer Unregistered - CalebtheKing 56 04.14.2006 11:55 I've seen alot of Sony Fanboys talking about how no game can compare to MGS....Um they need to open their eyes and admit that the 360 is powerful too and it can compete with the PS3. Unregistered - chimera 04.14.2006 12:53 ok im the guy who posted the #2 comment. IM A HUGE XBOX FAN SO DONT TELL ME IM A SONY FANBOY! lol im just saying that from what i read the 360 wasnt mentioned! and just because NEXT GEN consoles ewre mentioned doesnt mean it cant still be a PS3 exclusive.....FAG! (sorry but slagging me off for no reason and calling me a gaay, ps3 fanboy kind of got on my tits.) (and why is the word G4Y not allowed? way to slag of millions of well G4YS.) Unregistered - Xgamer 04.14.2006 14:33 Remember it's not actual ps3 footage you've seen on that title, it's CG pc generated footage, so no need to compare the two games or any CG created video for the piss s 3 since that's all they have at this time. The cell and it's graphics engine are continuing to have that bottle neck issue so as of now there wont be any games for it that are above average. They'll find someway to make it a little better but not nearly as polished as our Xbox 360. Unregistered - omg 04.14.2006 15:00 Damn straight!!! Yo Wassap 04.14.2006 15:01 the mgs4 fottage was not cgi, the others were but appently the mgs4 stuff was real Unregistered - 360 boy 04.14.2006 15:27 Go to this site www.slickdeals.net and go down about middle of the page and you'll find a link to dell for 360 bundle.

Try making a Decent RPG DEVS!!!! Hell even an Sim/Tycoon would be better that shootem up Nazi style JUNK!!!! What ever happened to being ORIGINAL not jumping on the COD BANDWAGON!!!! Unregistered - The One 04.15.2006 02:46 Hell yeah #22, these morons keep on doing the same them games over and over again, i need something creative, and please stop that FPS s**t, a console will never win with 95% FPS, thay are wack to the majority of gamers, a shooting spree without thinking. Man i'm selling that 360 and waiting for a PS3 in Nov, at least they ahve other genres and lot more creative games than Microsoft, go ahead call me traitor or Sonyfanboy because ya'll motheRf*ckers ain't facing the facts and i'm so f*ck ya'll. Sony here i come running for you wagon, MS forget about it, i gave you a try and in 7 months the only game i got is GRAW, well f*ck you a thousand times and of who wish to support and suffer for you blindly, well it ain't me, bye bye b*tch here i come Sony. Ya'll have somethoing to say, holla at the one, you heard. Trickedbullet 04.16.2006 01:21 Thats right. The great god of gaming weeps at the thought that ww2 games might come to an end. I hope they never die. Just think about the future when virtual reality is cheap and life like and WW2 is the best game to play. Wonderful! Or it could be like the anime series .hack//SIGN. I love that series. I hate sony because all the anime related games land on a playstation. How terrible. I get the urge to kill. Sony must burn in hell! On another note, has anyone ever notice that the Playstation attracts stupid? I mean total idiots. And it is funny to me that these true idiots fight to say the playstation is the best when they are so dumb that it actually hurts to talk to them. Any one ever come across this? I would like to be the first to say that if it were up to me every dumb person on this planet should be lined up and shot. I could go on forever about stupid people and I am sorry for making you all read this, but just think about all those cheaters and team killers on xbox live and remember those conversations you had with them and how truely stupid they were. If you actually had the chance to speak with these retards, then you would know what I am talking about. They do not respond to reason. Trickedbullet 04.16.2006 01:23 Whats better than Brothers in arms 1 and 2? Brothers in arms 3! Come on all you WW2 haters out there, you know you love it! Unregistered - mob deep 04.16.2006 15:42 yah! on the PS3,the 360 will make it freez FreeMonk 04.16.2006 23:23 Now how cool would it be to be able to play online BIA's against anyone in the world, no matter which console you owned. Sony against and 360. 360 against a PC. PC against Sony. That'd be mega cool! Unregistered - ee 04.17.2006 07:47 I know exactly what your talking about and hate to admit that my younger brother at one time was in that Playstation fantasy world and thought it was the best thing ever! I remember when his PS2 broke thank God and he had know other choice but to play XBOX at my moms house and eventually said to me that I don't think I could play PS2 again after trying XBOX! Now I do believe that alot of Sony fans will switch this time to 360 for the games alone but you have that one group of what I like to call the Resistance that will try and defend and talk crap knowing that MS isn't playing this time around! Unregistered - Mo 04.17.2006 12:35 #23...what are u STUPID? First person shooters define next generation gaming. The World War 2 theme might be over-rated and overused, but there is a bit of conflict of interest here. Look at the Halo franchise, it just took Halo 1 and 2 to explode the income to Microsoft. Everyone likes it because its the best in almost every way. On-line, multiplayer, single player. Maybe Halo 2's single player storyline wasn't that interesting, you just watch what they're going to do with Halo 3. Oh my Gooood, and they have sooo much time till it comes out. Fit for perfection that'll be. Unregistered - Devon Williams 04.18.2006 16:10 23# you are stupid and dumb. I am laugh and you are most lame this message board ever. You are stupid if selling that XBOX360 for PS3. PS3 is crap same as PS2 and brainwash tumor. Microsoft has more creatives than Sony and I heard that they are buyout developing and get more alot of exclusives an XBOX360.
