Hike it to 70usd and even less people will buy your games.
Portal just is awesome, cant wait for Portal 2 ;-)
While i dont own a console and never probably will. I do wonder, if someone owning an Xbox switches over to PS3(vise versa) they lose out on every game they bought on the Xbox. IMO that is a loss worth thousands of dollars.
Same question comes into play when a new generation starts, everything previously owned has the risk of becoming unusable with the next console.
Feels great to have invested in PC Games, where atleast thousands usd's worth of games...
milk.
Hardly any of Sonys first party games supported by the ALL MIGHTY Cell run in 1080p.
Lets see:
GoW (Looks like a PS2 games asides Kratos).. 720p
Uncharted 1&2 (tomb raider on PC looks better).. 720p
MGS think its 720p or maybe even sub hd.
Theres like a dozen games out of 400 hundered the mighty cell can run in 1080p... some super computer lol.. id take a 200usd gpu over it for my gaming.
Funny the all mighty cell cant even cause the ps3 to play most games in 1080. Like only 5% lol.
Supercomputer my ass.. if it had the balls we would atleast see RDR running in 720p. Hell if cell was good enough Sony should have gone with its original design and gone cell for graphics instead of the RSX. Obviously the cell fails which is why RSX was desperately implemented.
Tech moves on, fanbois need to learn Cell isnt as powerful as Sony would like us to believe.
Lol can they make up their minds. Just yesterday think it was their CEO who blamed PC gaming for Piracy. While in truth Epic just has been putting out terrible games and rehashing their old franchises.
There is lot of money to be made on PC gaming Epic, however if you just intend to milk it with a yearly release of some old IP its not gonna work.
For starters you dont have to pay Sony or Micro huge royalties or licensing fees to work on the platform, Nor do P...
Game rentals will get screwed with this.
Ubisoft 1st screwed over PC gamers increased prices and implemented a bad DRM.
Unless all of us dont stand together and dont boycott their games, every platform will get screwed. Too bad these msgs wont get to most of the gamers around.
The passing is awesome. Great to be a PC gamer.
Pay less for the game,
Free online,
Mods (imo nothing is more fun then the modded 10vs10 servers)
Free DLC.
and above all best version + controls.
used to play beyond 720 back in 2002, i dont see anything great about it.
Any system with a dual core cpu will run it just fine. That means any 3-4yr old PC.
Now add in a 100usd gpu to that system and watch it stomp any console into the ground ;-)
Dolphin rocks.
No point having extra hardware laying around taking up valuable space.
my point was... pirates will always be around.
however due to constant milking, the real buyer will just not buy anymore.
I remember i purchased the original Unreal, then unreal2, also purchased unreal tournament.
However once Epic constantly released a yearly game. It got stale i stopped buying or playing the franchise for that matter.
Pirates will always pirate it never expect them to pay, however constant milking without g...
Why are Sony and microsoft making losses then?
sony being 5billion in the red.
micro yet to announce a good profit on the xbox. Micro would have closed shop had it not been for windows.
@Epic
Blaming piracy is very easy when you are putting out crap games.
I cant recall the number of unreal tournaments you put out to milk the franchise to hell. How many do you expect the ppl to buy? ppl wont keep buying the same crap with new maps over and over again.
All you got left now is Gears of war on 360. Which too only sells cause its a 360 exclusive and the fans like to support it. Aside that you got nothing left.

@jack
No point disagreeing until you havent seen both the games running side by side.
Gta episodes on PS3 are 4gigs in total.
The PC version is 16gigs.
The difference in sizes alone tells the story for textures.
Like i said PC even running in 720p made the PS3 look like a blurry mess.
@below
Be sure to up the textures to high settings, hell even med blows the ps3 away.
they are reviewing the game on 5yr old PC's branded and locked down by Sony & Micro.
The HD version will be out shortly after you are done beta testing.
Lets be honest here. I am personally a PC exclusive gamer. I recently got the GTA Episodes. My brother who owns a PS3 got the PS3 version(he has a 26inch tv which runs games in 720p good enough for the ps3).
When he saw me playing the PC version he decided to get it from Steam.
Yea but consoles are marketed as being cheaper. While the real killing is obviously done on the software, which people are unaware about.
@Panda
Agreed.
Valve is in a rather good position at the moment. Look at micro or sony, no matter how much of a base they have. At the end of theday its all about the money. Thats were both Sony and Micro are losing out on. Forget about posting a profit, posting loss after loss wont amuse their share holders. Regardless how the fanbois here may disagree.
Steam atleast is making money and if in this market they are in that position its b...
