The last-gen port of the game will run for $50 at retail, and 'feature a variety of optimizations aimed at maximizing the hardware capabilities of the consoles,' according to EA.
The fact that the company was willing to dedicate over a year to porting the technically impressive game to less powerful hardware is a testament to the staying power of last-gen consoles.
The current generation of consoles has sold well but has yet to reach the same saturation point as their predecessors, possibly due to initial availability issues and game support on older consoles.
When the most popular games on the market run just fine on old hardware, casual players may be unconvinced about upgrading to the new consoles.
