Re: 4x dead. PC games dying. Gave away PC. :(
There was one patch for Starfury with rumors of a possible another later.

Re: 4x dead. PC games dying. Gave away PC. :(
Do you have XBox live? Its great, except for the cursing high pitched 13 year olds who think they're great. They populate Halo 2 servers sooo much...

Re: 4x dead. PC games dying. Gave away PC. :(
Oh, and PC games are not dying! The PC is a major platform. What platforms has Half Life 2 came out on? Thats right, just the PC! How about CnC Generals? Battle for Middle Earth? The Sims2? Which platform did Doom3 come out for first?
At the same time, console games are a major platform as well. Sure, I really cannot afford to support both hobbies, but I have fun with both.

The problem with PC games is that they are trying to be console games too much these days.
Starfury, on the otherhand, would make a neat port over to console games.

Re: 4x dead. PC games dying. Gave away PC. :(
How so? Sure, Deus Ex 2 was an obvious PC/console game, but games like CnC Generals doesn't translate to a console very well at all. And the Sims Urbz thing looks just plain stupid.

Re: 4x dead. PC games dying. Gave away PC. :(
Those kinds of games, are what remains to PC games. I'm talking about that typically require an average of 8 buttons or less to operate. I know more games on the PC use many many buttons, but if those buttons can be put into toggle menus - it's better as a console game.
For two common two examples, Starfury and DO would make better console games than PC games I feel. The loss of customizable options is great, but then again, that is why they are PC games  |

Re: 4x dead. PC games dying. Gave away PC. :(
Hmm, I see what you mean. But the PC is a tremendous market that developers ignore at their peril. I think that consoles just open up more of a market for developers. The PC isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
