The unknown future of PC gaming....

[HookeyStreet]

Bad timing for a joke? You're probably right.

It's hard to spot humour in text on a screen.

Guys I hope you can solve your little scuff like true gentlemen

LOL, prefer this kind of duel:

But, back on topic.......

Someones trying for a mod title lol

Negatory, I just like the discussion and would like it to go forward without the thread getting locked and while cockblocking you from getting another infraction!

 

[snuif09]

Well back on the subject.

I think the "death" of pc isn't because of consoles(well indirectly) but the developers just aren't giving a fuck about quality and just want bux so they just make it for the most accessible platform there is.

 

[wahdangun]

does anybody remember the last PC exclusive to get a tv spot that didn't have a Blizzard logo?

shogun total war? I have seen the ads everywhere,
and in indonesia there are point blank(an indonesian cs:source) heck we even have national competition for it. And because we are poor country we can't afford I mean $60 is almost halve of our monthly salary. So in here MMO become more popular than any games.

Ofcourse!

How could we forget the Freemium games.

League of Legends, Bloodline Champions, Warrock etc those games are immensely popular.

All I know is that I'm hooked to this thread although I don't have much more to say. I'm just waiting fo the next thing to happen. I was going to start playing some online poker (PokerStars) 2 hours ago, but here I am.

Which reminds me... can you play PokerStars on consoles? You can't. Consoles suck.

I would let nature take its course. This thread is pointless already.

1. PC gaming isn't dieing. Its never even been in danger. Thats just wishful thinking by the competitors. We have proven that in dozens of threads.

2. Consoles are not the cause of our current drought of good titles on any platform. Its the developers making sub-par games. Console users are just a victim of their own ignorance. Crysis 2 is a prime example. Console people praise it while PC users are disgusted. Forgive them father. Console users know not what they do.

3. If they went back to the days of down porting we would see a rebirth of gaming. Hell I might even buy a PS3. Until then welcome to the dark ages. Where innovation is only found on the Wii.

What about Move and Kinect?

Precisely!

 

[KingPing]

Claiming PC gaming is dying, because some titles are not released on PC, and some are ports is too much men, too much!

Now some titles are not being released for consoles (actually a lot more than consoles exclusive), and some are or will be ported to console, what the hell, i'll just say that console gaming is dying.


Seriously, why people think PC gaming is dying, since Steam was released i see a constant grow in PC. Indie games on PC are better than indie games on console.

And in PC you have games that i don't see how could be successful in console, like Stalker, or Killing floor, i love those game, but do you think they could have a chance in console, where all that people play is AAA titles.

Precisely!

Move and Kinect are not cutting edge. They are an after thought. Wii was innovative. The rest (Move and Kinect) are just copy cats. See Sony and MS were trying to copy the PC and they failed. So now they see how its done (Nintendo) and are in a flutter to copy.

The whole time behind the curb.

I have a feeling that you champion the Wii because it isn't considered a serious console and a threat to PC gaming (ie, it's primarily for kids)

Move has taken Nintendos motion controller idea and made it better. Kinect is quite different from the Wii and Move, but yes, MS obviously wanted a slice of the pie.

 

[Benetanegia]

Nah, it's because the Wii is meant for different things than what a PC or PS3/X360 are meant to. It's complamentary, while the other two pretend to be a cheaper alternative to PC gaming. IN that they lost their console roots, their purpose.

The Wii is far more the "threat" to PC gaming then the 360 or PS3 could ever dream of. Wii brought us motion gaming. Something even the PC is emulating now. What is the PC copying from the 360 or PS3.........nothing.

Add to the fact the Wii outsold the 360 and PS3 combined to begin with and you have a legitimate "threat". Not some half ass attempt at a gaming PC.

I don't think the 360/PS3 can be called a failed attempt at PC gaming. If you say this because they have online capability for multiplayer, what about the original XBOX and the Dreamcast?

Not just the multi-player. But at everything.

is that strip poker variant? With nude women in it lol.

Btw wii was not the threat. Althought it was the highest selling console the games in it was not selling well. And there are basically almost no AAA title or block buster title like cod:bo on xbox, uncharted on ps3, or starcraft 2 on pc. And thats why developer was not really interested on wii. And i think the future of pc gaming is heading to MMO like micro transaction.

 

[BumbleBee]

Nintendo Wii is good at collecting dust.

But you guys have to admit. Times change and technology advances. I think it's pretty good that they tried to put in some good tech from that time frame. I know consoles are meant to be fun systems. But they have got progressively more advanced over the years. Look at the Dreamcast, that was awesome and I will lose ALL respect for the both of you if you disagree

PS: I thought the true roots of a games console was to just play games???

So go play fun games and stop saying PC gaming is dying

So you don't think it's in trouble? Wouldn't you class crappy console ports as a worry? Because these make uber PC hardware redundant.
