Dice's Patrick Bach; Focusing on the PC is the future.

I think they are trying to get PC gamers to actually buy their game, and not just pirate it. Dont think they are concern about console gamers as they buy anything thats a FPS.... just look at MOH :P

lol i guess if they want to play singleplayer (???????) or on hacked servers (with hackers, lol)

Why would anyone pirate a BF game, defintely BC2 where you only get one code used once on one account for multiplayer, it's not like most other games either.:lol:

people will prirate anything, even PS3 games when the PS3 was not even hacked yet :P But yeah BF3 does actually have a single player campaign, and its the only footge we have seen so far for some reason :x

regardless of some peoples' weirdness, DICE doesn't have a problem getting PC gamers to buy (and continue buying for years) their game.

Well its like Crytek and PC footage.

I'm sure having a little more sales is not going to hurt them.... I'm sure DICE wants their game to sell even more than the last.

[QUOTE="Cranler"]

alot of devs are simply lazy. these so called physx effects have been in games as far back as 2003. why should ati pay off devs to do what could be done on the cpu? surely dice signed an agreement with nvidia to notdo the same with ati.

Cranler

Dice is just gassing it's PC fanbase trying to ease the pain that will be inflicted once B3 is released and it's once loyal PC fanbase realizes that it's beloved once PC exclusive francise has been consolized. Look at COD series, Crysis series, look at warhammer series(once an RTS is now a TPS and is releasing simultaneously on all platforms). It's going to happen with every PC exclusive eventually because the console fanbase will obviously bring devs more $, which is needed to compensate the high cost in making and marketing a game.

I am really tired of all the SP footage and I want to see some MP already, really does any real bf fan care about the SP, sure it will be nice but once I beat it I am never going to play it again. DICE should remember their roots MP first.

[QUOTE="Cranler"]

[QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]Sorry, but I disagree. Just because ATI is cheap bastards don't give then right to whine when others aren't. They've been charing insane prices for high end cards without giving anything back. They're bassicaly exploiting devs's hard work without giving anything back. At least Nvidia throws cash around helping devs, ATI doesn't.

[QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]

[QUOTE="Cranler"]ATI has had a better price to performance ratio over the past few years. How is ati exploiting devs?

how doesnt it lol. if nvidia thows money at their janitors they'd still be better off

COD is popular on all systems, over 4 million pc gamers pirated Black Ops. So drop the lame attitude.

If they want to maximize profits then they should focus on consoles. But profits aren't their main goal with BF3. They are just doing what they want.

dc337

1 million lemmings pirated black ops also, your case is weak.

consoles makes more money

well honestly, they can make more of the console crowd interested in pc gaming.

[QUOTE="antifanboyftw"][QUOTE="bleehum"] How so? Nothing wrong with taking advantage of superior hardware. It's not as if consoles are capable of what they're trying to accomplish on PC. dc337

online focused games are usually advantage pc, piracy becomes less a factor on pc while rentals, piracy and used sales plague consoles. Call of duty is an exception, it seems almost every console gamer in existance buys it every year though.

dontshackzmii

More sales doesn't always mean more money, you have to look at the costs associated with a console game before you make that claim.

Dont assume things next time.

You might want to try and use that "logic" of yours to see why your original statement is completely inaccurate.

Lol @ completely inaccurate. Unless you include awful Facebook and other social games, the average person has no interest in PC gaming. Unlike consoles which have many more players on them.

Ok? It's not exactly a startling statement. DICE loves shiny technically impressive games, it's obvious then that they would prefer the PC. In other earth shaking revelations, the grass is green. I don't own any DICE games, find their current games lacking, and am not interested in their future endeavors either, but I'm glad they're enjoying their shiny graphics so much. To each their own.RandoIph

I don't think technically impressive is only about the shiny graphics. What about more players count, better animations, destruction and larger maps? These are hardly gimmicks.

Lol, this guy reminds me of a hermit. Way to go Dice, you love the PC, but yet you love the console's money but you bash it. Dont understand the logic behind that.

He just said that consoles cannot handle what Dice can deliver in 2011. If I say that PS2 can't handle crysis am I bashing PS2 or am I just saying the obvious truth?
