so during this whole modern warfare 2 buisness it set me to thinking is this the start of end?
how many more games companies are gonna start to turn away from the development of pc games? lets face it thats exactly what infinity ward have done, and who can blame em when the sales figures for the console version speaks for its self.
theres a few points that really niggle me just lately. the disaster that is games for windows live, i cannot stress just how bad this is for a massive portion of gamers, people dont buy the game cos they know it wont work, as a result sales of games go down and the developer thinks theyve made a poor choice creating a pc port.
the pc games market is stagnating whats changed in the last 5 years? not a lot really graphics are better thats about it whats come along thats really innovative?
take a look at consoles, the nintendo wii, it brought something new and innovative and as such forced the other big consoles to try to follow suit. you can guarntee the next xbox will have some sort of motion feature
the pc stands alone and has nothing to force it to better its self as such im begining to think its stuck in a rut.
im not a console fan boi i dont even own one (well not to till wed anyway) i love my pc and am a massive FPS fan. im just beginning to think that because the pc has no competition theres no progression everything is a rehash of something done before.
maybe its something over nothing and im paranoid, but consoles are fast approaching the level of pcs maybe the next gen will even match it and the fact a console costs alot less than a top end graphics card is it something people will start to consider?
would like to hear other peoples oppinions please dont start turning it into a MW2 bitch fest we got the other thread for that
