Only publishers willing to develop, market and sell [good] PC games will help PC gaming. Its really that simple.
quoted for truth....
And Microsoft instead of "saving" PC gaming is sticking another stake through it's heart by removing even more incentive for developers to stay with PC's as opposed to migrating over to consoles. |

"If they would only add keyboard/mouse support to consoles such as the 360, I'd actually consider buying one. "
Thats exactly 50% of my problem with consoles. But you can get attachments to overcome that. The problem is what they do to the games themselves, to appeal to the broadest amount of console players as possible. Not to mention the effects it generally has on the GUI of the games. For instance, only the most pitiful of fanboys could say the xbox huge GUI of Oblivion was a worthy successer to the moveable and resizable windows of Morrowind. Or how about that Dues Ex 2 GUI. Not to mention how both sequels mentioned had skills, weapons, and other options trimmed out of them for the sake of idiots "simplicity".
I don't see why they can't develop for the PC first. The console kiddies will still buy the game when it hits consoles.
Sigh  |

I’ve never been a big believer in cross-platform games, because there are too many compromises you need to make to design the game to be the same game play on both of them and have co-op play across them and all that. - John Carmack
Yep. And it's killing computer gaming. If developers intend to make a game cross platform, they need to make the PC version first and THEN dumb it down for a console version later. This current fetish with making them identical on all platforms is only penalizing the pc base. |

I think it depends on the developer. People despised Deus Ex 2's HUD which was console centric yet Oblivion worked out extremely well on both PC and 360 using almost the same exact set-up.
No, it didn't work out well....it was merely successful. The GUI in Oblivion screamed console, and was inferior to the Morrowind GUI in every way. |

The differences in graphics nowadays are so incremental that I really wish developers would start emphasizing and focusing on other aspects of the game. Yeah, the hard core droolers may gush over a little more pixel shading on tree trunk or something, but I would far prefer to see a good AI system implemented or a large diverse gaming area. STALKER's main attraction to me from the beginning was the novel idea of it's setting and the idea of other stalkers and animal life going through their lives in the zone while you wander through it.

"What I said stands as true and inarguable: quality control standards are stricter in the console world. The simple truth is PC developers don't have anyone to answer to as far as the platform goes.
And, like I said before, quality control standards have nothing - NOTHING - to do with measuring the game in terms of "deep", "complicated", or whatever other subjective terms you want to throw in there. Say it with me: NOTHING. "
No, what you said stands as a huge dodge. Now lets all get together and repeat the simple, inescapable truth.... Developers dumb down games for consoles Don't even try to pretend that the average PC audience is identical to the average console audience, or that their expectations are the same. Yeah, there are console players who are also PC gamers. There are a whole lot more who aren't, and thats just the simple fact. And that demographic differs from the pc gamer in attention span, expectations of gameplay, and expectations of depth of game. |

Introducing console-like quality control standards for PC titles has absolutely nothing to do with the perceived complexity of any given game. Nothing at all. Put aside the console phobia for a moment, breathe some fresh air and see this.
This repeated excuse gets older and older and still isn't true. Quality is a lot more than just "control standards". And the quality of PC games have suffered due to the dumbing down necessary to appease the console kiddies. That has just become an inescapable fact and it's kinda pathetic seeing console fanboys scream their denial in the face of that reality. |

"Oh god no! You mean they might hold you to the same standards you have to comply with when creating a console game? "
Yeah, you know.....dumb it down so every fourteen year old drooler can figure it out. Don't make it too hard for the ADD crowd. And fer gawds sake make sure it has those flashy graphics and twitchy combat thats so leet. |

While I understand why they reinvented the alien for the second movie (and it was a great movie), I would like to see them drop the whole "bug" thing and go back to the alien as it was originally concieved. An utterly alien parasitic creature with a two stage life cycle...one that implants and egg....and one that can turn prey into eggs. |

...this whole thing demonstrates how expectations have lowered from developers. When once an expansion was expected to have new lands, dungeons, and creatures....now we settle for them bundling their cheap ass add ons (like horse armor) and a new quest.
But then again, I guess Oblivion led the way in people settling for less and giving it rave reviews =/ |

Desslock also gushed all over Oblivion without mentioning the dumbed down features, storyline, or the problems with leveled loot, or the missing weapons, skills, etc... Desslock has become part of they hype machine and is not to be trusted on anything coming from a major company.
Having said that, I hope this is good  |
