![]() ![]() It's like the "home taping is killing music" thing in the 80's-it wasn't as anyone would rather have bought the CD/Vynil than had a crappy tape and did so if they could afford it and 90% of cassettes were made to be used in Walkmen/carstereos by people who'd actually bought the record already! IMO these things are often not quitrte as black and white as they seem at first glance-or am I being too romantic?īack OT-I think it's a little sad that games are being made across platforms without being truly optimised because of the desire for parity between the consoles-and now it's spreading to PC. I also was thinking about piracy on PC again the other day and wondered if they wouldn't be better commisioning a deeper study into just what the extent and effects of piracy are to the PC gaming industry as, in my experience, most of the people I know that pirate games do so because they either can't afford to buy a game anyway(so noone loses anything really)or do it to try a game out which they'll then buy if they enjoy it to enjoy all it has to opffer on and offline, no? sure there's sewrial pirates and cheapskkates around but I really don't know if the effects are quite as bad for the industry as they make out. I don't see why they would gimp it, mind, unless it's the issue with arcade 360's again not having an HDD,is that maybe it, IDK? Surely giving a mandatory install to 360 and PS3 would allow the PC version to be open as they liked taking the console versions with it AND allowing the extra res etc on top, no? Or would that be too easy? I still believe it was the lack of an HDD that cut down the size of the open world in Rage myself despite Carmack wanting to stay mates with the whole world! I suppose, though, it would pi55 people off if the PC got better visuals AND more game as well so I understand them doing it when the PS3 has no piracy to speak of and even the 360 way less than the PC./ ![]() ![]() In fact I can't think of another game that has pushed PC tech as hard since then so maybe it was a watershed/Concorde moment that we won't see very often again:( Can we, though, not blame anyone as a gamer for this as Crytek are just chasing the money after getting a lot of stick last time with the first game meaning a lot of people(including myself) had to upgrade to really appreciate Crysis. ![]()
