Mark Rein - Consoles "Stealing" Hardcore PC Gamers [Jan 31, 2008, 11:13 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Mark Rein interview on the Guardian Unlimited (thanks
BeyondUnreal) offers a conversation with the Epic executive, discussing the
company, its games, the Unreal engine, and PCs versus consoles, offering this
outlook: "I'm a real fan of the PC, but yes, consoles are definitely stealing a
lot of hardcore gamers from the PC. When Call of Duty 4 came out, I heard some
of our guys sitting around talking about the great game they'd had last night
and I'm like, 'Hey guys, what server are you playing on? I'd love to come and
join you,' and they said, 'Just send us a friends request,' It was at that point
I realized they were all playing it on console. Plus, the sales of the console
versions are something like ten times the sales of the PC versions."
I made it a point to buy the PC version of CoD4. Why? Because using a control pad sucks. Mouse and Keyboard for life! As long Microsoft refuses to support a keyboard and mouse, you won't see buy any FPS games on the 360.
