Should console exclusives be released for the PC too?

They would look vastly better on it, get the option for mods, the devs wouldn't be as limitied by the hardware anymore, ect.

The PC is not direct competition for the consoles so they could still claim "console exclusivity".

What you think?

Examples of "console exclusives" released on the PC:

Halo 1 & 2, Gears 1, Alan Wake, ect.

I can see Gran Turismo, Uncharted, God of War and Last of Us all looking vastly better on the PC...

Absolutely not.

That doesn't even make sense.

CoD is on the PC too but it has the best sales on the consoles.

I mean, games like Uncharted shouldn't.

Games like Halo and Alan Wake were ported for a reason, they have solid gameplay that would easily work on PC.

Absolutely not.

That doesn't even make sense.

I think Forza and the newer Halo games should come to the PC (as well as Gears of War).

I mean, games like Uncharted shouldn't.

Why not?

The PC gamers who don't have a PS3 yet won't buy it just for Uncharted or The Last of Us.

But if it were ported over they might be interested in getting it (meaning more sales).

[QUOTE="freedomfreak"]God no. Not these mainstream, peasant games. PC is too good for those. Bleh!parkurtommo

That's a rubbish excuse tbh.

Gamepads exist for the PC too you know...

Nope.

They would make a loss just like MS did with Halo 1 and 2.

PC gamers just don't buy as many games as we do. Deal with it.

They said for Alan Wake that it won't come to PC because "it's a console experience".

They later released it for the PC and said something like "the publisher prevented the PC release".

MS thought PC gamers will buy the 360 just for Alan Wake and that obviously didn't happen... (especially after the fact that it was originally ment to be a PC exclusive but then went console-only)

Remedy were satisfied with Alan Wake PC sales.

CliffyB wasn't satisfied with Gears PC sales but they could still have ported Gears 2 & 3 over for those extra sales.

Well the big reason that none of those particular games will ever be on anything but a Sony console, is that they are all published/owned by Sony. As for whether or not they should... I don't really care. Multiplats are (almost) always better on PC, and PC gets plenty of exclusives. There's just not very console exclusive games that interest me. And the ones that do, are very much console games. Like, technically, they could look better on a PC, but that would be the only advantage.

Well, Nomatter how much Console Fanboys wail about it, it IS happening. How much PC Fanboys howl, it IS happening.

Basicly the age of Exclusives are comming to an end, most exclusives take a loss, or barely break even on console. Multiplats are the focus.

One is either ignorant, or living in their own dreamworld if they do not see the signs, and hear Devs and Console manufactors bring this up time and time again.

The only majority (as in nearly all) of exclusives we see now, are games too small to be considered multiplat, or one of the few Exclusives that really has a pull and can demand to be exclusive (sorry Sony fans, this pretty much means Nintendo only)

In the end it will be the end for a good chunk of the console buisness (Maybe xcept Nintendo, they have a very rare spot with their exclusives, they are the equalant of Walt Disney, as long as they do not go 3rd party, they would hold and justify a console, MS and Sony? Nope, the majority are multiplats across all major platforms anyways, and they have less and less exclusives. its an age going away.

in a way you're right, some people just don't like PCs, even if PCs and consoles had exactly the same games a lot of people would still buy consoles.

I'm not judging those people or anything, though personally, I'd stick with PC :P
