Unfortunately, cross-platform is here to stay. It makes sense financially... and that's all that counts to the "actual" developers, you know, the ones
with the money.
The one thing that really worries me about any cross-platform release, is when it's a shooter. They (as far as my experience goes) never work. The pacing has to be compromised too much. With many other aspects of many other games, I like to be a little optimistic. Written for PC, and ported to console may work nicely
And please don't shoot me down here... But Fallout was TOO hardcore for me! Admittedly it was my first ever attempt at an RPG, and just didn't "get it" but the idea of a "lite" version doesn't frighten me at all. So long as it works well, in everything it does.
