I don't really believe that this game it's Mercenary Ops, but here's article about it [url]http://pc.ign.com/articles/122/1220160p1.html[/url]
[QUOTE=wraithcat;35493837]Usually means that levels actually have a horizontal scale as well and somewhat better controls. Avoiding the one button to rule them all syndrome which plagues a lot ports.[/QUOTE] I think "better controls" depends on genre, not every kind of game responds well to digital movement input. I actually like "one button to rule them all" syndrome tho, it keeps all the actions I need close to my WASD keys and I execute actions more quickly, making combat more fluid, fast-paced and fun as long as no functions interfere. And the only console I own is a trusty Gameboy Color, I'm a full-fledged PC gamer otherwise.

[/QUOTE] Well I prefer to have each action mapped to a separate button. Ability to custom map each action is good. Being forced to use master-button is not cool. I also like to get more than 30 fps on HD or higher resolution.
This sounds good - I hope the game isn't bad though.
Can't wait to play with the new features in UDK.
This is great and all, but: -If a game was just made for just the 360 it wouldn't be fair and PC users should demand a port -This game is being made for just the PC and it is totally fair and console users should deal with it? Other than that I hope it turns out to be good.

Other than that I hope it turns out to be good.[/QUOTE] Most of us don't want a game to be exclusive for the sake of exclusivity, we want a game that is only for PCs due to how demanding it is technically, something which takes advantage of the significant power that a computer has relative to a 5 (6?) year old console. Sure you can make the power on a console go farther due to hardware being standard, but there are some things that consoles just can't do with their current hardware, and that's holding back overall progress. I don't have anything against consoles, but I have got something about a new generation of games consoles every several years which holds progress as a whole back. If a console generation lasted for 3-4 years, tops, it'd be better imo.
It's possible, CryEngine 3 works great on console and PC
PC only - and then it gets ported to consoles half a year later.
I just want Bulletstorm 2...
[QUOTE=Marik Bentusi;35493638]I don't get it why everyone has such a boner over PC-only titles. This some kind of fucked-up revenge feeling because of console exclusives? I'd like platform to be a non-issue. We all want to play videogames.[/QUOTE] Usually if it's multiplatform, it ends up being made for consoles, then ported to PC because it's easier. Some of us have spent good money on our hardware to let games take advantage of, and it pisses people off when they get a ported game that has weaker graphics since they were designed for consoles in the first place.
[QUOTE=Orkel;35494407]PC only - and then it gets ported to consoles half a year later.[/QUOTE] more like as soon as we hear details about it it is no longer pc only and is multiplatform
unreal tournament 4? wouldn't be so bad, i liked ut3
Watch Facepunch blame the consoles if its terrible. ;)
[QUOTE=djjkxbox360;35494341]It's possible, CryEngine 2 works great on console and PC[/QUOTE] You mean CryEngine3 right? There is no way CE2 would work on consoles.
[QUOTE=MendozaMan;35493251]You will [I]never[/I] experience another UT99 or UT2004. [I]ever[/I][/QUOTE] Watch it be Unreal Gold and UT99 HD remix. Same exact game, remastered. Only with all of ut2k4 mixed in as well, the razor jack, all Unreal/UT99/2k4's old maps and mods, and 20+ more I would fucking cream.
Don't fuck it up, do not let your dickery with gears of war spoil the brilliant gameplay you USED to have.
gonna be a MUD
It's probably a f2p game like SMNC
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;35494647]more like as soon as we hear details about it it is no longer pc only and is multiplatform[/QUOTE] And the lead development platform has shifted to the 360.
Don' t expect an old style game guys, those have been dead for years now, and Epic is really impressed by indie games success on Steam

I'd like platform to be a non-issue. We all want to play videogames.[/QUOTE] It generally means better controls, better graphics, better UI, better game overall.
Why is everyone hoping for it to be UT4? we need a new single playing Unreal game, not more tournament games. Don't get me wrong, UT99 is one of my favorite games, but we really don't need more then 3, especially after 3 sucked so badly. And who knows? It may be Jazz Jackrabbit 3. :v:
to be honest I don't really like the fast-paced games like the older UT's with today's graphics so I'm hoping it isn't UT4
