[QUOTE="l1mIt"]quake wars with analog sticks :lol:! go ahead and try to enjoy thatJeffGenocideX

I know i will be enjoying my game controller over KB&M



If this game happens to connect PC users with Xbox360 users over LIVE! you will learn to hate your controller sooner as you might think :).

And why do you say this?

u actually think you would beat someone using a KB/M with your analog sticks? :lol: common

you would be suprised kid.



Actually he/she would be surprised. We have Halo tourneys at my mall as well as Counterstrike tourneys. You wouldnt believe how good some ppl are when spectating them. I've seen footage of sick ppl like Fatal1ty play Quake 4 and Painkiller, but there are ppl just as sick at Halo 2 where I live. Yes, it's possible to be rediculously good with a controller. If you think otherwise, then you simply haven't met your match yet and/or havent seen a pro play Halo 2 with a controller.

edit- Believe me, I was a diehard pc gamer at one time (and still enjoy it).  I played Quake 3 for 3-4 years straight and in a clan (WASP).  I wouldn't touch anything but an fps game and I know skill when I see it.  You can take it for me that my jaw was on the floor when I spec'd some particular individuals at my mall with a controller and Halo 2.  It was enough to make me want the challenge and ever since, I've longed for better console shooters and now proud that we're getting Quake Wars as they'll probably use that for tourneys when it comes out alongside Halo 3.

Quake Wars is the most highly anticipated FPS's of 2007? When did this happen? I can think of at least 4 or 5 FPS's right off the top of my head that are more anticipated in 07 than Quack Wars. LOL:lol:ColoradoKindBud


DAMAGE CONTROL at it's finest! Quake Wars was on the must have exclusive pc game list on so many hermits posts this past year. I could literally pull dozens of links out of my butt from this forum where hermits listing this game as being one of the reasons to be a pc gamer. Oh well, I guess now it's Quack Wars. LOL.

It's interesting because before the Wii and PS3 launched if you searched for "all games" on the platforms, the PS3 had over 100 and the Wii had maybe a wopping 30-40?  I dunno if thats right but the PS3 had quite abit more titles planned/announced.

They broke even at 220 a couple weeks ago and now the Wii is pushing 250 while the PS3 is just over 230.  Honestly I never figured this much because the Playstation brand always had tons and tons more games then any other and Nintendo never really had that many (just a bunch of sweet 1st party games).

I mean, on one hand the PS3 just hasn't kicked in yet and they could double or triple in a given quarter.  But on the other hand, they both launched at the same time.  Do you think the Wii will continue to be ahead of announced/planned games and take advantage of it's excellent price or will the high costs of PS3 be ignored and Sony pull steam ahead with 1000s more titles like last gen?

Phil said himself that Halo is just one game, playstation has many more games to fall back on, and the Wii is an impulse buy so who knows.

Casuals.  Even the most hardcore fanboys against the Wii everywhere in the world basically amounts to nothing since the casuals dominate and have caused the Wii to be the fastest selling nextgen console.  Despite all the hate that you might think, it has 1000x more love. 

Just an example that the fate lies in the casuals hands.

I was just thinking "damn another pc game gone to consoles" then I remembered consoles won't have mods. LOLdarklord888


Ya know I was thinking the same thing. But then it dawned on me... I remember the days when hermits scoffed at console gamers for not having harddrives, not having mutiplayer, no online functions, no media capabilities, no higher resolution big screen tvs to play them on, etc.

Boy has this all changed. I now play my 360 with a wireless controller and hooked up to a 42" plasma. Granted, its only 1024x768 but its much better then the 480p output of yesteryear. Dont come in and say pc can be hooked into plasmas too..thats not the point. The point is that you can now play console games with higher res, along with the other devices that only belonged to pc gamers not too long ago.

I predict next gen the consoles will have full mouse/keyboard support. We're already getting things like patches and downloads for additional maps and gamemodes (R6V,etc) so I also expect mods to be not only possible, but influenced for console use sometime over the next gen. Why I say this is because so many diehard pc devs are now saying that console users can have fun with these so called "awesome exclusive pc shooters" and whatnot, they they actually want us to benefit. They will convince M$ (just like epic did with 512mb ram) to push the envelope as far as a fully blown pc with upgrades.

Then you say its not a console and they wont exist anymore. Yes they will because of a certain individual (Nintendo) company that the mainstream audience still has to have a box in front of their tv and dont like/cant afford a pc. Therefore the others will always exist (unless gaming dies out altogether). Sooner or later the hermits will be owned massively, all expect for their few MMO games. If you ask me, it looks as if M$ is dumbing down the pcs to be on a similar level to 360 in the future with games for windows and Live etc. It's all how you look at it.

but the PC doesnt belong in system wars, so its about 360 vs PS3supermechakirby


Being that the PC is a gaming platform, why doesn't it belong in system wars?  Also while I think it will be PC>360>PS3 from a technical standpoint, I'm just glad its coming to 360 so Live users can benefit from it.

Wait, wasn't it always coming out for the 360? I thought the PS3 part was a suprise.topcatyo


Id games usually come to consoles but up until now there have been no mention of 360/PS3 ports. This is breaking news and again THHBO!

Good news indeed.  THHBO for stamping this title in their 'must have exclusive list' for this year in so many threads.  Guess you gotta erase this one from it....whats next?

Hm... modified Doom3 engine looking better on the Xbox360? Yeah I saw that with Quake4 and Prey, don't be illusional :)
F-Minus


Don't be bringing up a launch title that was ported by Raven... even Doom 3 on Xbox looked and ran better.  Prey was a better job but still looking like a low-mid range pc.  The devs have had time with the 360 now so things should look better now.  If recent titles are any indication and knowing the folks thats porting this over, I'de say it should look as good as a solid mid range pc at the time of release (which is extremely good).  Only a high end pc would blow it away (obviously).

Dont be hating just because others who arent super rich can play these same great games and have just as much fun over Xbox Live.

I wouldn't call Crackdown a flop, maybe a mini-flop, baby-flop, or nano-flop. The next colossal flop on system wars will definitely be Lair. Lair is going to die on the FLOPerating table.

I almost died reading that!  LOL.  You get brownie points.
