PC, DS, Wii.





Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

Good. I don't like console FPS. Why keep a multiplatform FPS away from the PC? Pure nonsense.



Check out my DS site.

not very surprising more platforms = more sales



Long Live SHIO!

If that's the doctrine they went by, you would at least expect Take Two to release it for the market leader, the console that earned them more revenues last quarter than either of the HD consoles.

Unreal Engine 3 isn't on Wii though. Developing an all new engine for one version isn't cost effective. If there was a middleware engine that was on the Wii as well as the other three platforms I bet they'd do it though.

uh...im pretty sure there are.

Just from a quick google search...theres Vicious Cycle's engine, EA's dead space engine, something that seemed to be called AI engine, the Gamebryo engine (used in Oblivion).

PC gets everything these days :)



PC + Wii owners unite.  Our last-gen dying platforms have access to nearly every 90+ rated game this gen.  Building a PC that visually outperforms PS360 is cheap and easy.    Oct 7th 2010 predictions (made Dec 17th '08)
PC: 10^9
Wii: 10^8
