I don't know why all of you are speculating so much, what's to speculate about? the game clearly is to be released as a PC game too, they didn't put it up on the website for nothing :/.DanielDust

agree,there is only one report of "no PC version" for one site,and everyone rely on this too match.

i don't think it will come

Sure, they usually say for a game that it won't be coming for PC and after several months it pops up for PC. Just hope taht the port will be good and we're fine ;)

I'm not really all that eager to see it, given the quality of the first game. It wasn't a very good shooter, and it was a terrible horror game. I found the controls to be slow and clunky, very awkward to play with mouse and keyboard. The dismemberment style of combat was kind of interesting, though, I'll give them that. That was at least a new take on the old "shoot things until they die" formula.

i think the 'speculation' that is not coming was because they only talked about teh colsole version at there last gaming convention etc

however, they may of chose not to speak about a pc version then due to fact pc version is coming mucher later than console version perhaps, like assassins creed 2 is still due to release yet for pc

which in my eyes is no bad thing, id much rather wait few extra months for a good product than get a shoddy brokenproduct now

1. Dead Space sold only about 40k on PC. 2. Piracy obviously caused this. 3. Graphics-wise, they look nearly identically. So why not enjoy it on your jaw-dropping HDTV instead? 4. With these reasonable doubts, and one less platform to deal with. Why even bother? 5. Controls work just as well if not better on consoles. 6. Again, there's no reason to make a PC Version. Most gamers have a PC and at least one console, if not more. There are options.Elian2530

1. Actually, it looked a good deal better on PC.

2. Not everyone had a jaw-dropping HDTV.

3. Not everyone has a console.

I'd be curious to hear where you got your sales figures from. And do those figures include digital sales? Those are often missed or not counted by analysts and the like. Also, I'd have to disagree with you about the graphics. I haven't encountered a game yet that didn't look better on the PC than it did on the consoles (well, Bully looked lousy on the PC, but what do you expect from Rockstar lately?). I thought the PC version looked better by a long shot, my problem with the game lay with the controls and the "feel" of the game.

only 40k? sauce?

oh and graphics wise they dont look nearly identical. maxed out at 1080p on a pc looks miles better than the x360 version (not seen the ps3 version so cant comment on that but multiplats tend to look better on the 360)

Surely the PC version turned a profit, even when it was on say for £5, if alot bought it i'm sure it pulled in quite abit.

Its not hard to do a PC version either, and it be a day one purchase for me, and many others i know.

I could understand no PC version of Dante's Inferno, but this is a 3rd person shooter, it makes sense to be on PC.

I think it will come, its just easy money to make a pc version.. even if it doesnt sell that much.

it really doesnt matter, either itll come 6-12 months down the line after the console versions/hype/sales already gone or it wont come. either way its really no use anticipating it now because u really have to add +12 to however many months more the console version needs development.

The 360 isn't a gaming pc in a box like everyone thinks. It uses a custom triple-core powerpc cpu which requires a lot of optimization that isn't transferable. That's why we've seen pc ports this gen that ran poorly on good hardware. In those cases they didn't spend enough time optimizing the game engine for standard pc hardware.

I'm amazed at how influenced I am of one negative comment. I would be very upset if it did not reach the PC. Once you target with the mouse the console controllers feel so inferior.....

Good information. I like learned 5 new things from your post. More than a week of college classes could ever provide.

It will come, the question is when? millerlight89
