It's pretty clear they don't give a crap about PC gamers. It's a small market for them so they pinch pennies on it.
Simply trying to play this on an averagely speced PC that can play most other games at full HD resolution with most effects turned on flawlessly would have revealed that it chugs and glitches like crazy.
Obviously though, with the biggest franchise out there on their backs, they didn't have the money/manpower to do it.
I checked Molyneux's claim. He didn't say it was the biggest innovation in 20 years, he said it was the "biggest innovation to hit the GAMES INDUSTRY in the last 20 years". Not that that's any more true but there's a distinction.
"it would still get a ton of 10/10's and GOTY awards.... "
Of course. Check out the amount of advertising on many of the big reviewing sites. They're buying way more than visibility that's for sure.
I'm amazed people still haven't realized how viral marketing works. The whole point of this and certainly of the controversy of MW2 was to drum up publicity, it doesn't matter if they remove the naming or not, the whole point is to get on the news. Anyone who doubts this should remind themselves what made GTA a household name.
I can imagine the mouse lagging or being movement constrained because all it's really doing is emulating an analogue stick, but regardless it's indisputably cheating. Just because it's hardware and not pure code exploit based doesn't make it any less dodgy.
Back when they release Shadowrun and had PC players directly competing with consoles, the PC players wiped the floor for obvious reasons. This would be approaching it here.
This is the equi...
This site is like the cess pool of viral marketing.
NUH-UH, MINE IS BETTER!
Watching fanboys justify away their hypocrisy.
Nothing could be funnier!
Every time someone uses the phrase 'nuff said' it brings me ever closer to going on that murderous rampage I've been dreaming about.
They already tried this on PC with Games for Windows Live.

The idea floated like a lead balloon.
If only all the 360 users had boycotted this nonsense when it began, perhaps the idea of charging for online play may never have taken off. Now you're stuck with it and whatever price rises they decide on.
I'm still amazed people are okay with paying for online play at all.
If it means that all FPSs came with dedicated servers rather than P2P matchmaking, maybe it would be justifiable, but not where all you're really paying for is the interface and the overlay networking.
It'd be like if on PC you were charged a monthly fee to maintain a Steam account.
@Sashamaz
Demos are rarely available at release these days. There's an obvious reason for that, they want you to buy into the hype and buy it regardless.
Why does the price matter when comparing? Cars are worn out through use, and it costs the dealer fuel for you to test it, yet trying a game by downloading it doesn't cost the developer a thing. If anything it should be the other way around no?
@asyouburn
Well, it...
I'll just assume if none of you can actually argue the point with me that you're conceeding.
It's easy to think in black and white. LOL PIRACY BAD LOL YOU WRONG. Yet I'm telling you in no uncertain terms that I'll buy more games as a result and you're refusing to comprehend that.
I guess the truth hurts. You're rabid fanboysand you've lost the ability to think rationally.
Please downvote me, you're only pro...
Why should I have to pay to try a product before buying it?
Do you have to pay to test drive a car?
Would you say that's piracy too?
Fine so say I do pay to rent it from a video store. Or say I borrow it from a friend. How do I benefit the developer?

If this becomes freely available on the web, there's a good chance I'll buy a PS3.
Then, if I try a game and like it, I'll buy it retail to support the developers.
I like how you all assume I don't buy any games.
I'm purely a PC gamer and would hardly be surprised if I spent more every year on games and music than any of the rest of you.
The difference is I don't give money to developers who milk franchises, carbon copy game concepts with a new coat of paint and instead only reward innovative gameplay, original storytelling and general quality.
I mean, how the hell are you supposed to tell a...
1 - The mod chip itself specifically has nothing to do with stealing.
2 - I hope you enjoy buying shitty games that you never had the chance to try first, and never end up playing.
3 - So how's that pirated music of yours doing?
Hypocrites.
I wish open world games would just go away.
So much time is spent on developing locations players will never go, models that characters will never look at and pointless side-missions that practically no one will ever experience to pad the real world feel.
Predictably after all that they rarely have the time to add any interesting gameplay mechanics or anything but a cliche story.
The point is, for some reason you're actually okay with people making it difficult for you to try something before you buy it.
You're not just okay, you think it's a good thing and that everyone should be prevented from it. And that my friend is fucking crazy.
Nothing about the single-player in this game franchise ever changes.
You progress by leading a bunch of placeholder NPCs which do very little other than to shout plot cues at you and tell you you're getting shot.
Enemies respawn infinitely. Every time you progress to the next point, they start spawning from a different location.
You're lead from one scenario to another, tied together by the loosest of storylines nobody can really foll...
