How do pc gamers have an advantage Id like to know that..

Buy the game and find out Leo-j.  Have you ever played an FPS on a PC before?  PC gamers (especially tourney gamers) take FPSes many levels past where they lie on consoles.  The difference between your average PC FPS gamer and your average console FPS gamer is the difference between someone who plays nothing but party games and someone who plays Gears of War.  You are about to see what the world of REAL hardcore gamers is like, and I don't think you are going to like the difference in ability level.  I'm going to enjoy this lol.


WTF! lol

 Microsoft wont let cross platform game happen.. they will make sony charge.

Yes, see Counter-Strike tournaments and matches. Those people play for keeps, lol.

I did happen to see part of a Halo 2 tournament on TV randomly one day though.

 


Yeah those counter strike tournaments are crazy.  You may be better off playing in sixaxis only matches.  Try it out in the keyboard and mouse ones if you want, but don't say I didn't warn you.  UT gamers can get almost as crazy as CS gamers.

So wait, I can hop on my PC version and show these kids with PS3s what the difference is between a PC FPS gamer and a console FPS gamer? This will be especially fun knowing that 95% of PS3 gamers are not going to be using the keyboard. Oh the fun the fun! Seriously this is completely unfair. Even the PS3 gamers who do use keyboard and mouse are going to end up against tourney gamers like Bod who will mercilessly destroy them. There needs to be a way to separate play between those using a sixaxis and those using a keyboard and mouse.


I assume that you will only face off against PC gamers when you specifically choose to do so, not in random matches (Although that is an assumption, it makes sense).

Therefore, if all you have is your trusty SixAxis and you choose to face off against the PC guys, it is no ones fault when you cry.

I'm relatively new (noobish) at UT, let alone FPS. (Resistance is the beez kneez) Guess I can prepare for massive pwnage FTL ;(

@ the new chubaca guy

welcome to vgchartz,

Resistance has the best fps controls bro! I just wish IT3 has the same controls. You have resistance?

Yeah, that would be a nice feature.  If it's not there expect waves of complaints from PS3 owners about online play being hard and hundreds of videos up on youtube of PC gamers just destroying everyone lol.

Hello Leo J, thanks for the cordial greeting. Yes I have Resistance, beat it on normal. Can't past the 1st lvl on hard. Noobs FTL ;(

My psn name is BlackFalconX, add me if u want, heh.

I was thinking about getting Graw2 until I played that demo, but I know it's true strenght is a multiplayer game and not single player campaign. Warhakws looks fun.

 Yeah, I'm hoping Epic has the sense to know how bad us PS guys will get plastered.
Hopefully I'll be able to puchase keyboard/mouse in time for the game, and at least put up some decent resistance.

I welcome the cross-platform approach, but I seriously doubt that by fiddling with numbers ("handicaps") the devs can create a level playing field.

For starters, it is not level simply by virtue of handicapping.

Second, even games traditionally "balanced" for different controllers are not really balanced at all, even on the same system.

Take a driving game, and pit two players against each other, one with steering wheel and another with an analog gamepad. I can guarantee that one will have a slight advantage over another. The game may slightly skew the controls towards gamepad or steering wheel, but it is not balanced by a long shot.

My brother-in-law has the exact same steering wheel and gamepad I do, and when I use the gamepad and he the steering wheel, I tend to win on curvy tracks but lose in ovals (analog gamepad is too sensitive to steering and you lose too much speed); when I take the steering wheel and he the gamepad, I consistently lose on curvy tracks but always win in ovals.

Again, I applaud the developer's efforts, but a balanced playing field UT3 will not be. Those that think PC gamers have the inherent controller advantage may have a rude awakening if Epic tinkers with the control balancing - it just might be "too" balanced in the gamepad's favor.
