| dahuman said: They make games that require a lot of actions and keys, a game pad isn't enough, aka they make more complex games suited for PC, console games are usually a lot more dumped down, and lately PC games are suffering in depth and tech advantages because of the multi-plat too. I'm glad they are sticking to PC only so they don't get held back on those aspects, hmmmm, sounds awful a lot like the HD consoles vs Wii situation all of a sudden, only the Wii has the controls to win more people over apparently . |
I would have agreed with you on the bolded statement a year ago. After playing Halo Wars, however, I began to understand that a controller was enough IF the right company was able to re-think how a controller could be used with an RTS game. I've spent thousands of hours on PC/Mac based RTS games, and Halo Wars felt more intuitive and natural with a controller than those games did with mouse and keyboard. I guess RTS creators just couldn't think outside the box enough until recently.
Personally, I believe World of Warcraft *could* be done well on a 360 or PS3, but that Blizzard simply doesn't need to worry about the incremental money they would gain from porting/supporting on consoles, not to mention the increased costs of doing so.
