Forums - PC Discussion - 2009: PC's Best Year EVER (possibly better than all consoles combined)

Question: How many of those will be day and date with a console release?

Question: Will Blizzard remain PC exclusive forever?

Question: How many of those will match the polish of those PS3 exclusives you dismissed earlier? GT5 = Starcraft 2 and with Diablo 3 not having a set 2009 release date I would say 2010 is a more probable year.



Tease.

1) Only 3 are released on consoles: Braid, Mirror's Edge and Burnout Paradise.

2) Stupid question, Blizzard was never PC exclusive (see Mac)

3) A hole buttload will easily match the polish of PS3 games. Starcraft 2 is also a shoe-in for this year, most likely in the first semester of the year, a bit later than it's competition: Dawn of War 2, Empire: Total War, Demigod and Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor.

1. I said will not has been released on consoles. Many of the better adventure games could see a Wii release and many of the other titles I could see having a console release as well.

2. Im willing to bet that within 5 years all blizzards releases will be day and date with a console release. (barring starcraft)

3. The list is very skewed towards RTS anyway, the action games however leaves a little to be desired. In that respect it does not match the PS3 lineup.

 

 



Tease.

I wouldn't plan on many PC games to see console releases. Console only people have been saying for years that sooner or later the PC games will come to them.

with how much you always hear the dev problems are between 360 and PS3 being tough or difficult i don't see them finding that appealing to try and take a game and make it work for the systems when they have mastered and been working on the computer for years.



This list is a meaningless collection of games people want to come out in 2009, but might not actually. Trim it down to games that have a firm release date and I might be able to see this as anything other than fanboy drivle. There is absolutely no chance we are getting both Starcraft 2, and Diablo 3 this year. Hell I wouldn't be surprised to get neither of them.

Cryostasis does really look interesting.



A lot of good PC games coming out this year. With Starcraft 2 and possibly Diablo 3, among other games, coming out this year, my consoles will be gathering dust.



An impressive list, though I don't think that the majority of it will be the cup of tea for anyone in particular.

I doubt any console has a better lineup on exclusive action games. But just like I said on the second post, I have not added all the bigger PC games, among them are 2 hyped action games:

- APB, an MMO GTA-like game that has been getting alot of attention.

- Metro 2033, a Stalker-like game, and even uses the same engine as Stalker's.

And how is the Action lineup weak?? Look at this:

Quake Live - Possibly the biggest FPS release this year.

Battlefield Heroes - a new entry to the well-known series.

Braid - Finally coming to PC.

Cryostasis - Bioshock's rival.

Mirror's Edge - Coming to PC and with a full revolution on physics.

Fallen Empire: Legions - developed by the makers of the Tribal series. A Tribal-like Shooter.

FEZ - One of the highest anticipated indie games ever. As much as Braid and maybe even Audiosurf.

Global Agenda - Hype has been surrounding this new MMOFPS.

Shattered Horizon - from the guys that made 3D Mark.

Zeno Clash - A surreal setting with a seemingly very viable Melee mechanics for a first-person game.

  • Bethesda
  • Bioware
  • Valve
  • Epic
  • ID
  • Lionhead
  • Infinity Ward - Former 2015 employees which were former PC only devs.

Some pretty significant and landmark studios which release day and date with consoles or are console exclusive developers.
