More Simulator Games

This might be only for me, but does anyone wish that there were more shooter simulator games and players. I know that a lot of people play games to break away from reality, but I really wish more console players would be up for something like the ORIGINAL flashpoint (not the crappy 2nd one). I really wish people would play with more realism in games. I love MW2 and all but I really don't need shot guns shooting as far as assault rifles or people going rambo with 2 guns in thier hands. I just need more simulator shooters shooters.

They release them on the PC from time to time (like Arma 2, the real sequal to Operation Flashpoint)

they dont really work on consoles because they require an absurd amount of keys to play, rely heavily on user generated content, and have a tendency to be unscripted, meaning it would be problematic to run on a set piece of hardware.

Yea I play the first arma and OPF on my PC but there are really only 3 good ones out there, but most people I play games with don't do PC gaming so I wish there was a way to do it on consoles.

Yeah PC only for these I'm afraid, kinda niche. As the guy above says, try Arma 2, you may like it.

I really cant imagine ever playing these games on consoles...the one console sim I know of, was sold with some kind of additional controler to make it playable, and was so expensive as a result, that I doubt anybody bought it.

There are a couple released on the PC every year though, last year there was some big name, heli sim released on the PC that got really good reviews. And there is some WW2 plane sim about to be released that got scored pretty well on IGN.

Red Orchestra 2 is in development at the moment with a possible console release.

Despite the excellent bullet physics...Red orchestra is not a sim.

noooooooope. This isn't MechAssault, which was an adaptation for the poor Xbox 1 controller, the company publishing it is owned by Jordan Weisman too, the creator of the series. Where as MechAssault had no affiliation with Jordan.

If that's what you're referring to.

Budget is only going to affect the graphical outcome. I don't really see how it's going to take drastic effects, or any effect at all on game play. I doubt it's any different once the game engine is complete, once that's done, gameplay should be sealed.

just not graphics.

the higher the budget, the more the game is going to have to sell to break even, and the more their going to have to push the game towards mainstream audiences.

When was the last time you saw a big budget game targeted at a niche audience?

With tactical shooters the situation is worse, but not hopeless either. One just needs to broaded his gaming horizons. I mean..this year we got ARMA2, but also freeware America's Army 3 and mod Neo Tokyo. Older tactical mods like Project Reality or Insurgency are still going strong and getting updated and expanded quite often. So while we might not get swamped in new tactical shooters releases, there's definitly enough of it to not let us starve.
