The faces are like...

The story is like...

The game is like...

I swear to God, Ja'Deth, if this game gets delayed, I will CUT YOU.

Actually the story in this one is cliche nonsense also, since video game developers are incapable of both gameplay innovation and artistic innovation simultaneously

Really looking forward to this.

Seems it's just Oblivion with a Fallout 3 skin, even the producer says it's that on the interview. More NPC voices though so there's no same-voice syndrome like in Oblivion.

Demos had this to say about Knight Rider:
Have they mentioned plans for a PC release? It wouldn't take much effort.

---

no

also: optimizing for various configurations and scalability is a little more effort than optimizing for a uniform console system. If you ever played Rainbow Six: Vegas for PC you'll understand what a poorly executed PC port of a 360 UE3 game can be

edit: that said you'll probably see it on PC in '08

Gadani had this to say about Tron:
It says on the Mass Effect website that it is a planned xbox 360 exclusive and they have no plans for a PC release.

they said the same thing about Jade Empire too

Demos's unholy Backstreet Boys obsession manifested in:
They'll probably realize that the income from a PC port would be greater then that from people who are "on the fence" about buying a 360. Plus, it would be a Windows-only game, so they could still justify it as a Microsoft-exclusive.

It'd be dumb for them to announce it as an eventual Windows port at this point. Microsoft is going all out for this holiday season. There are at least half a dozen "system seller" titles scheduled for the last half of this year and Microsoft is doing everything they can to show consumers that the best game experiences this year will be available on their console.

They're ready for the games division to move into this black and this holiday season is absolutely crucial to achieving that in the timeframe that they're looking at

Over the mountain, in between the ups and downs, I ran into Demos who doth quote:

The PC gaming market is by far small beans compared to the console gaming market. Half-Life 2 has around four million units sold to date, Gears of War had that many ten weeks after launch, and it wasn't a highly anticipated sequel.

There's just no reason for a developer to sacrifice exclusivity just to take part in the measly and fickle, not to mention piracy-ridden, PC market

Blackened Model 2000 was programmed to say:
PC GAMIN IZ DEAD

it's not dead and it's certainly not going anywhere but the market is smaller than the console market

when $500 dell PCs can play the latest and greatest PC games in a way that does them justice graphically then we might see the PC market catch up

I think piracy has more to do with it than price, really. Piracy exists on consoles too, but in nowhere near the capacity that it does on the PC. I believe this is the biggest reason why most of the big PC games lately have been MMO's.

Well I do agree with your point, but what I was driving at is availability. A lot of people have $500 Dells in their house, but of course those machines cannot play the latest and greatest. Especially kids who often share a computer with their parents (or perhaps were given the old one as a hand-me-down when their parents bought a new one) who find the $500 PC to be good enough for their needs. Same parents usually don't mind spending a bit to buy their kid a console, though. I know that not all console sales are intended for kids and all, but it's certainly a huge factor.

Plus the idea of upgrading every 4-6 years is more appealing than upgrading every two to a lot of people

Still undecided on what I'll play Bioshock on. Probably will purchase 360, download PC.

I'd get better frame rates on my 360 by far, but it IS an fps and a gamepad just isn't the same.

I need surround sound

I hold video games to different standards than movies and TV shows though
