YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Makes sense. They probably had terrible sales, like the Halo ports.
Why invest the time and money if nobody's going to buy it?
I wonder if this means GOW1 didn't do well on PC.
@MANTA
The Halo 1 port for PC sold extrememly well because the multiplayer was very fun, infact you can still find a far amount of people playing it now. The reason Halo 2 and GOW1 didn't sell very well was because:
a) they required windows Vista
b) they required Games for windows live
c) you had to pay extra for all the multiplayer features
Basically it was Microsofts fault by introducing these artificial limits.
BAD LUCK FOR PC LOL
Im mainly a pc gamer. I really enjoyed Gears of War... on the 360. The pc version wasnt that great. I think the main problem is that Gears is designed to work with a controller; the third person perspective and just the way the game handles does not suit mouse/keyboard at all. It was still pretty fun, but not nearly as good as on 360.
@JKH13 - you're right about all that, but Halo 2 was also bad port. The mouse control was pretty nasty, and it didnt run nearly well enough for what it required. Gears is a lot better (as you'd expect from Epic) but its still definitely a 360 game, feeling out of place on pc. Take all those limits away and i still dont think it would have done that well in the end.
@jkh13: you fail gears of war pc did not require vista at all i have it sitting here on my shelf and it works totally fine with xp.
@DarkTravesty was referring to the pc ports of halo
As -PL- said in another story about this, I'll get it when it comes to PC.
@ajaxender: couldn't disagree more dude. The controls on PC were way better than the 360 controller. Any kind of finite aiming is always done best with a mouse.
And Im with pedrovay.
Just because THEY wont bring it to PC, doesn't mean Micro$oft wont.
@pedrovay2003
You can wait if you want, but I've never seen EPIC say there would be no PC version for Gears 1. In fact they hinted pretty heavily there would be. Which is a stark contrast to this comment. I don't see it as a trend.
