Aims but fails miserably. Let me know when you can run GTA IV on wine and please tell me how you made it happen. :)

 

One could also say that Windows PCs failed miserably to run Crysis 90% of the time when it came out ;) Things get better.

PS: Sorry, not a GTA lover here... I was satisfied the day I got HL2 working, and that happened a long time ago. After that, not much Wine tinkering for me.

 

 

So you can run a game from... 2004 on wine and you say that "this game will run on wine"? Wow.

Way to - repeatedly - miss the point.

My point was that having the Windows logo on the box of a game does not imply you'll have to use a MS OS to run it. Any sufficiently updated Wine implementation will work. It was the answer to the idea that it is a "MS exclusive because you need Windows to run it". That makes as much sense as saying that any game relying on your NVIDIA card drivers' OpenGL implementation is a "NVIDIA exclusive".

Will this game work on Wine when it comes out? I don't know, we'll have to try it. Will it work eventually? Pretty sure it will, unless the whole Wine project disappears in a black hole.

In few years, you don't need a wii to run wii games. So those obviously aren't exclusive either? After all, with a little tweaking and compromises those games will eventually run on an emulator.

edit:

Yeahyeah, "wine is not an emulator".



Calling this for a dark horse is a joke.
First of all it is also on a PC
Second it is MMO RPG (yes another one of those that will fail in shadow of WOW)
It is CG, not that impressive in first place.

Ninja Blade was "dark horse" and we see reviews for that mediocre(if) game.

For a game to deserve hype from FUNBOYS, it needs to be from well know developer, and when it comes to CONSOLES it needs to be some other genre other that MMO(we all know how those are popular on consoles (sarc)) and it should be just for console and real exclusive. Not timed and other BS that is happening with MS "exclusives".

Really this is so lame.

Leaving recursive acronyms aside, the point is different.

You could say that games for windows have been coded aiming at a certain set of APIs that define the "Windows platform". A game written for the Wii is aimed at the "Wii platform". An emulator provides a different "Wii platform" implementation. Thus the day you can play a Wii game on an emulator you are still using the "Wii platform" but not the "Wii hardware product manufactured by Nintendo". It's still a Wii exclusive, just not a Nintendo exclusive anymore, because you don't need a Nintendo piece of hardware to run it.

The day a game runs on Wine you can still say that it is a "Windows platform exclusive", except that you don't need the "Microsoft Windows product" and thus it is not a MS exclusive.

It is only more apparent with Windows and MS than with Wii and Nintendo because in the former case MS only provides the software on an open platform, while in the latter Nintendo provides hardware and system software and everything has to be reverse-engineered.

Wow, I will say that those screens are by far the best graphics I've ever seen in a game, but if this is gonna be a bunch of OTEs like Heavy Rain and Indigo Prophecy, count me out.

But those graphics....whoo! The animations were phenominal! And here I thought Alan Wake and Heavy Rain were gonna be battling it out for top spot this year. Well done "Secret World".

It's an MMORPG.  LISTEN AND READ THE THREAD PLEASE.

And those aren't screenshots, they are CGI.  And people think PS3 fanboys get excited over nothing?
