In order to create piece of great work it takes time and effort, include the myriad of PC configurations out there and you can see why EPIC prefer the "drag and drop" method when it comes to console. Time is money and EPIC has carried out the number crunching and the accountants in the gimp department have produced amazing financial reports that forecast a cornucopia of profit.

Mike is really saying we neither have the means, time or effort in developing PC titles so we'll sacrifice a newborn to the lord of CONSOLE ........ cha ching $_$!

just for the clueless people like tom who think pc gaming is dead, id just like to point out that wow alone generates 1,4 billion a year just in sucription revenues. its pretty safe to say with merchandise and micro transaction fees and box sales (wich mostly are sold online) that wow alone will create 2 billion revenue a year.
obviously wow is the biggest monthly fee mmo but still all pay to play and micro transactions mmos that exist today easily create 4 to 6 billion $ a year.

if you combine that with pc box sales and online distribution wich isnt accounted for in pc game sales you will be pretty close to the console market cash wise.

of course epic wouldnt know anything about that since the only games they do since fraeking forever, are arcade scifi shooters and dont dare call gears of war anything but arcade, since it is.

of course with consoles you get a whole bunch of people who either cant afford a pc, or didnt know who to use it (probably a lot more on the latter) so you have bunch of newbees, and i dont mean that as an insult but as a matter of fact, that havent played that arcade shooter 20 times over like the old vets of pc gaming have. so the games epic produces are a much better fit for consoles then for pc gaming right now.

and honestly, i really dont mind. i wouldnt even play them if i got them for free.

@Tomtom and Dufus

You guys should really take your heads out of your asses. Maybe that way you will see more clearly your shitty textures on 720P and 30fps in 95% of your games. Project Natal, hahaha, project Lagal Crapal. One more product for people with an inherited lag in their brain.

Yes I paid more for each of my two graphics cards than any of the current consoles, but I can play everything at 1920X1080 +4XAA with 60fps+. The good thing is that I could have that for 95% of the games with just one card, but what the hell. You want fucktard gameplay? Be my guest.

At least I get to have, Internet, Music, HD movies in any format, Emulators for 99% of the games out there, Email and what the fuck you can think of.

PCs are dying? So AMD and Nvidia will let the PC die and live alone on revenue from the console chips? Don't think so. AMD has already shipped 6.000.000 Evergreens. Evergreens go to PCs, not consoles.

GTFO!

Holy F, you people don't give up do ya. It's like Abbot and Costello on the baseball field. Me take my head out of my ass, haha yeah.. ok numbnuts. Rolling Eyes

Actually.. I have a lot of games that work at 1080p. My LCD is 60" of goodness. Have you ever seen Tiger Woods on console as compared to ANY version on PC? Probably not. TW dies on PC due to lack of sales/interest. Just like dozens and dozens of other "once" PC games.. TW for one, blows the shit out of PC and it ain't even close. 30fps, whatever man what a lame argument. All my games on my LCD run silk smooth. Some maybe initially when they came out were choppy but I do not have any choppy games (27 ps3 games and counting). One for example is Killzone 2.. I remember initially it was a wee bit laggy, but I since finished the game a few weeks ago after downloading a few patches and never experience 1 bit of lag. It was bugs, I have no other games that video lag at all. I know, I would notice, I know I would get a headache..

I have a 1 x GTX 260 896MB and I run ALL my games at 2048x1152 with 16AF and 4AA on 24" screen with >=2ns response time. What fucking retard goes and wastes money on SLI?! I'm sure the video card company is happy you did..What a total fucking waste of money. NO game needs it. Obviously you have little brains to think with but a big wallet to throw money away.

The movies and internet and music really made me laugh. You really are a clued out moron aren't you? I have FULL media streaming from my PC to my PS3. I can watch movies, listen to music and cruise the internet without a problem and as a matter of fact, up and until recently I could flip my console into a PC with mouse and keyboard and use Linux. I could manage my files and share them with others on my network, all from my CONSOLE! But Sony is a bunch of dumb fucks who removed that. As of right now, I have INSTANT access to +200 movies through my PS3 and they are ALL excellent quality because I dubbed them myself. Yes, I used my PC to do that!

PC is dead for a gaming solution. Any person with a brain on their shoulders knows that. You are just a fucking moron (that I've been speaking about) who hasn't figured it out yet. So when you tell people to take their heads out of their asses, you go first because I think yours is shoved further up than anyone elses.

"Of course there is still piracy on consoles, it's just a lot less than for PC."

sure. And the less PC titles there are - the more piracy will be on consoles duh. What are they going to then? Move on to slot machines? Pinball?

Anyway, there is no way that gamers like my self are going to pick up console and gamepadto play gears, ut or anything fps. It is just not "natural" and it's downright retarded to aim with a stick. I do play racing games with gamepad, a lot better than on keyboard.

anyway, if I ever pick up a console it will be something like a Wii, so I can have family and friends have some fun while having a snack or a beer or whatever.

I can't see fun in playing NFS shift on PS3 without some lan/split screen option...

Piracy is not killing PC games, developers/publishers greed is. Video game industry is far past the time when only some people out there could code games. But somehow every developer thinks he should earn three ferraris and million dolar house per year. Bu-hu. Not gonna happen, and it's not due to pircy, it's due to COMPETITION and market laws.
