[url]http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=253256[/url] [quote=cvg]Bioware has told CVG that the PC is "made for gaming" - and that there is "no question" over whether it will continue to lead development of its games on the format. The studio is now hard at work on hugely ambitious MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic - which will be exclusively released on PC. Bioware designer and writing director Daniel Erickson said that the PC's interface was "less restrictive" than console equivalents. "Every two or three years we hear the announcement of fantasy being dead, PC gaming being dead and RPGs being dead," he said. "And yet, all of the biggest games that ever come out - that set the records - are nearly always PC games, and a lot of them are fantasy games. "The biggest game in the world is a fantasy, PC, RPG MMO. We all know the drawbacks of PC. We all scream at our boxes and try to make stuff work. But at the same time, the interface is made for games. The mouse/keyboard interface allows so much less restriction [than console]. He added: "There was not a question when we started Old Republic - or any of our games, for that matter - [what the lead format would be]. There's a reason the lead SKU for Dragon age was PC as well. When we're developing an RPG, it's a natural place to be." [/quote] Good to hear.
Everyone will come crawling back soon enough.
in before PC/console fanboys
We need more companies like this.
Nice to hear, if only the initial cost wasn't so expensive.
Mad props to Bioware.
PCs aren't made for gaming, they're made to be superior.
Why do people call Windows computers PCs...and Mac OS computers Macs They're both PCs (personal computers)
i like bioware i hope their mmo wont be crap
[QUOTE=Gummylamb;22863115]Why do people call Windows computers PCs...and Mac OS computers Macs They're both PCs (personal computers)[/QUOTE] because macs marketing campaign tried to differentiate away from the "PC" branding. Just as they're done with mp3 players and ipods and in some respects phones from iphone. While originally macs CPU architecture was different they're all the same now.
[QUOTE=Gummylamb;22863115]Why do people call Windows computers PCs...and Mac OS computers Macs They're both PCs (personal computers)[/QUOTE] I normally only see people with Macs refer to computers running Windows as PCs and when I tell them that Mac is also a PC they just seem to ignore me.
[QUOTE=Gummylamb;22863115]Why do people call Windows computers PCs...and Mac OS computers Macs They're both PCs (personal computers)[/QUOTE] It's easier to say Mac and PC than Mac PC and Windows PC.
lol console noobs got owned, this further proves the superiority of pc gaming over console
Bow down to the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race.
PCs are horrible for gaming I mean the keyboard has like 20 keys on it that's far too many to be intuitive
[QUOTE=Adan;22863552]lol console noobs got owned, this further proves the superiority of pc gaming over console[/QUOTE] I tend to overlook fanboyism, but Jesus.
I would switch to mostly PC if my all my friends didn't play Xbox only, but since mostly everyone is lower middle class to about poor not many people have a PC younger than like 5 or 6 years.
I agree that PCs are great for gaming, but I can't afford all the parts to upgrade when a console will play any game that comes out for it with a single $300 fee.

You expected an MMORPG on the console? What is wrong with you
Although I do agree that PC gaming is funner on than console
[QUOTE=Gummylamb;22863801]You expected an MMORPG on the console? What is wrong with you[/QUOTE] it could be good if developers were creative enough
[QUOTE=Gummylamb;22863801]You expected an MMORPG on the console? What is wrong with you[/QUOTE] Oh shit i read it as a RPG
[QUOTE=beanhead;22863817]Although I do agree that PC gaming is funner on than console[/QUOTE] super mario sucks on the PC

[QUOTE=beanhead;22863773][B][U]FUUUUUUU[/U][/B] God damn it. And before you rate me dumb, maybe I don't have enough money to maintain a supercomuter [/QUOTE] It's an MMO. Ergo, you could run it on a Commodore 64.

Except that on the PC you need to spend $1600 on a halfway decent gaming platform.
