PS3 exclusive Quantum Theory originally a PC game

Quantum Theory is drawing glances for all the right reasons. Despite being the first shooter ever crafted by the veteran developer Tecmo, the game features some stunning graphics and an interesting new take on the rapidly tiring Gears of War-style cover system. Of course, being a PS3 exclusive also has some play in this as well. But it wasn't always slated as so.

Sucks for PC owners! Though if it looks this good on PS3, imagine on PC? ::drool::

evrfighter5564d ago

as a pc gamer myself I'll even say its a smart move not making it a pc title. pc gamers are not swayed by graphics and are 10x more picky about shooters than console gamers. I myself would skip this title if it was on pc.

just looks like any other shooter.

xhi45564d ago

yeah i agree, a lot of people would pass on this one if it were only on PC.

KRUSSIDULL5564d ago

Also no one would buy it when there is free pirated copies for PC.

evrfighter5564d ago (Edited 5564d ago )

pc shooters sell well if theres a good online experience involved. key gens and cracks almost never allow you to join in on the online fun.

Kind of wish Valve/steam and direct2drive would release their sales numbers so that this pc gaming is dying and being taken over by pirates myth would go away. I'm not saying pirating is not there because torrent sites would prove me wrong. I'm just saying this it's based around the NPD's numbers.

The problem with that is that almost every pc gamer would tell you they don't buy boxed games anymore but buy them digitally. Most over steam

This is true until you get to the older pc gamers. Those guys tend to like having the physical copies as they still dont trust the digital age.

I enjoyed the TGS trailer last year. I'm keeping an eye on this one.

It's probably still being developed on the PC, as well. From what I gather, they decided to do it on PS3 because the PS3 would be fast enough to do their game justice, but the number of PCs out there that would also be just wasn't enough (I assume it has pretty high requirements). However, they'll likely still develop it on the PC as it's a lot cheaper to buy even a top-end PC system than it is to buy a PS3 dev kit (They're like $10,000 or something, a top end PC could be got for like $2,000, probably less). This is quite common these days.
Still wouldn't expect a PC release any time soon, if at all, though.

dude the sales on PC would be very very low, because of the piracy. plus its not worth to put this game on PC cuz it will flop!

Ju5564d ago

Tecmo is not a garage company, though. Doesn't really matter if you do it on PS3 (dev kits) or PCs. The engine guys will need dev kits. Don't think the artists do, though. If they do a lot of PS3 polishing and high integration of the SPUs (rendering etc), then the PC implementation might be behind. All depends on how they design their engine.

Kushan5564d ago

xlx-russ_92 well done on not reading what I said. I said it was probably still being DEVELOPED on the PC, not FOR the PC.

Bathyj5564d ago

What really interests me is that they're making shooter and targeting a Japanese audience. I hope it succeeds.

That and the fact that Temco would do a PS3 exclusive (because they want to, not because they are being bribed to do it) after getting rid of the date rapist is pretty funny.

Now some Boxhead tell me why its not.

Every battle royale and soulslike. Every cartoony live service game with dancing

Nah most of the Soulslike games turned out pretty good. Probably the only one I didn't much like was Immortal Unchained.

I don't care what this guy think after he called Way of The Samurai 3 an awful game.

Bigpappy3839d ago

with Quantum Theory, I played the demo and was not impressed. I felt like they were trying to mix Gear of War with Lost Planet, and didn't do either very well. May be someone who never played either would have a blast with it though.

fOrlOnhOpe573839d ago

Yeah, I played the demo too but couldn't finish it....the thought of therapy was too much lol

SyphonELITE3839d ago

damn, i never even heard of this game til now

Yui_Suzumiya3839d ago

I followed this game forever until I finally came out. I got it and loved every bit of it. Originally supposed to be a PS3 exclusive. It got horrible reviews and I didn't understand any of them. They must've been playing a different game then me!

Spore_7773838d ago

Never played it, never will -_-
