"But I don't know that I'd put it as harshly as PC gamers are smart and console gamers are stupid."

This guy made me rofl , but he is a good man to be honest though and not lie because microsft handed him some cash.

Why do you assume that Microsoft handed them money?

comp_ali5792d ago

Then how do you explain it is released on XBLA only and not PSN ?

Darkstorn5792d ago

I think the author has a point. Quirkier titles are more possible on PC due to lower development costs, a more open-source atmosphere, etc.

All the weird games are released on PC to test the waters before they can be brought over to consoles, where they can be sold instead of pirated.

Pandamobile5792d ago

If you actually read the article you'd probably catch on that he was talking about how Zeno Clash sold really well for a quirky indie title on PC and attributed the low sales of the XBL version to not being that appealing of a game for the mass market of young console gamers.

ouch that might possibly be Dead_Cell's last comment on n4g. New account incoming.

What about games like Flower on the PSN... I don't know how it sold overall but I know I have it. Its a great "weird" game. Also katamari has done great over the years. I love that game. Critter crunch is on consoles and when you get a bonus in that game you puke rainbows into your sons mouth. That totally not weird.

360 Piracy is massive with 360 you play online to a banwave comes. with pc 9/10 you cant as it requires extra work for crackers then theirs wii's piracy is bloody huge as is easy hell to get games booting of 500gb hdd. then there ps3 no piracy 2/3 major platforms with major piracy.

Dead_Cell5791d ago

You're -really- trying to pitch to people the idea that PC games cannot be cracked and played online?

Really?

Solbadguy5792d ago

They are more open to weird game cause they are always on sale. I got a ton of weird games thanks to the Steam sales.

Karlnag35792d ago

I don't mind playing something weird if it's also weird gameplay wise and I'm primarily a console gamer... all I play on my PC right now is the FFXIV beta and Starcraft 2. I won't play weird if it's weird because I'm shooting a cheese with legs because then it's just a shooter.

Xi5792d ago (Edited 5792d ago )

I agree to a point but I think XBLA/PSN and indie games are doing a good job of providing console gaming with just as many wierd games.

Braid, flower, flow and Limbo for example have done great on consoles. As well as games like dishwasher : dead samurai, which became very popular over the 360's indie games. There are a ton of examples to counter the one for zeno clash.
