Last I heard, they're scraping what they had of SCII, and selling what can be salvaged of it to Westwood Corp. to make Tiberian Sun Wars & Conquerors III - The Return of Kane. Blizzard on the other hand will now focus on Diablo III - The Diabolic Desktop Adventures from Hell. Trustory. | ||

I'm not going to buy a crap game with fancy graphics if it plays like crap and I get bored of it that fast. This is why people should focus less on graphics and more on gameplay. and last romantic... your posts are freaking awesome. I KEEP PREACHING THE SAME THING TO MY FRIENDS~ FUCK THE GRAPHICS, MAKE THE GAMEPLAY WORTH IT~~!!!!!! it seems like the focus nowdays tend to be, "OH LOOK AT TEHSE VISUAL IMAGES, HOW REALISTIC THEYARE~~ NEVERMIND THAT TEH GAME SUCKS ASS, BUT THESE GRAPHICS ARE SO AWESOME U SHOULD BUY IT~~~ TOP OF THE LINE!~!!!!" for those visually stunning games, we do what we do best, TORRENTS >_< but a good game like sc or warcraft 3 : dota, we will end up buying the game for a legitimate cd key to play via online with others~~~~~ blizzard has it right with d2, sc, war3 where people were forced to buy it to partake in the most enjoyable aspect of the game, playing against other people... i hope to god blizzard alwasy sticks to this. they have always made fun to play games no matter what the genre... | ||

but seriously, i dont see how PC game can be doomed. i think console has a lead and will maintain it for a while, but the point is PC itself is a very versatile platform and the possibilities are limitless. it may not be the preferable platform since revenue generation is limited but viable and flexible nonetheless. | ||

Someone forgot to measure the WoW factor anyway; a pc game. It made many game developing companies raise their eye brows and ponder a little deeper about the possibilities of the pc gaming market. The way I see it consoles are getting more and more functions, i.e. they are becoming more and more like a PC's anyway. | ||

Comparing the technical specifications of an XBox360 and the shittiest new Dell Desktop you can buy, the Dell looks far superior. But it can't even come close to the gaming power. Would it be far fetched to say that games could be optimized more, have more scalability, and operating systems could have less overhead? Vista uses and INSANE amount of system resources. It seems like it would make more sense to run all games from a command line interface, but that won't happen. It's ridiculous how powerful your hardware needs to be to compete with the capabilities of a console made specifically for gaming. The prices are the main barrier, things should run more efficiently, and waste fewer resources (including what the operating system uses). | ||

Dont talk shit about laptops tho, the performance of them the last 2 years has gone up craploads and they expect that graphics (just like cpus) will close in on desktop graphics by alot. And currently competition in the laptop industry is HUGE, we'll get balla laptops, I cant wait for new Zepto computers, i'm getting one. the 8600gt is a bit to weak on the current ones. ZEPTO RULES | ||

Instead of surfing Myspace all day and clicking on that starcraft icon, try programing a game or downloading some porn. I'd like to see your Xbox do that! | ||

The fact is there are no good pc games these days. My computer sucks hard but even if it didn't, the only game I've seen recently that interested me somewhat was The Witcher. I'm certainly not going to shell out upwards of 1000$ in upgrades to play one damn game. When sc2 comes out I won't have a choice, but till then I'll keep waving my wiimote around (and playing some random micro arena of course.) The Witcher was the first game that I actually went to the store to purchase (Went to Carrefour Angrignon for the first time in like, 4 years) after having pirated it. The entire game, the forum, the everything just screams at you with quality. Its like a developer actually took their time and created a world, something we used to take for granted. Gaming doesn't feel like it did when we played commander keen shareware, or got a floppy disc with zeliard on it for Christmas. Even console gaming just doesn't have the proper flair anymore. The only game i've played in the past 6 months and really enjoyed myself while doing so was "I Wanna Be The Guy", and that's sad. | ||

It made many game developing companies raise their eye brows and ponder a little deeper about the possibilities of the pc gaming market. World of Warcraft is definitely a point to consider. It's a game type that can't be easily adapted to a game console, given the need for a full keyboard. But my basic point still holds true, I think. Even though MMOGs can't be pirated, I have to wonder whether WoW would have even half its subscribers if it had the system requirements of, say, Call of Duty 4. | ||

That's why Microsoft doesn't care if they take a $100 hit for every Xbox console sold... because they make their millions through the actual games. Isn't that short term? I remember hearing after the first few initial shipments they make sick profit as they should. | ||
