GoW for PC?
 
Anyone know if GoW will go for PC? Or will it stay on Xbox? Just like CoD 3 is currently at :'(

Multiple PC Game magazines have been reviewing the "PC" version of this game and have confirmed that it will indeed be coming to the PC.

Good lord there is a god! XD That means i won't have to buy the 360 lol (though I'll prolly end up with it sooner or later) thanks for the info!!!

No problem, personally I think its gonna be a challenge playing it with a keyboard and mouse but who knows. :)

Really? I find it much easier, for me anyway, to use my keyboard and mouse than I do a controller. With a controller you don't have the almost pin point accuracy...sometimes o.o :p cuz if you nudge it to far, you move off target...

Normally I would agree, but IMO games designed for the 360 dont handle so well with the ol' PC set up.

Even if it does comes to PC, the 360 one will better by a mile. And I doubt it will even come to PC.

I dont think it's gonna come out for PC...maybe if it was a FPS then it would make the leap on over but I notice that 3rd person action games are clumsy and hard to really control on a PC (like playin an FPS on a console sometimes is a little hard)

Well then the devs are dumb, because its already a W.I.P for the PC.

FYI bumping is frowned upon. (Edit: I see this forum is more or less empty.)

Graphics far too intense for a computer. Your kidding right? Computer graphics capability exceeds that of consoles and always will because of the constant upgrades available, with consoles your stuck with what comes out of the box.

As the developers have apparently already started work on getting it to the PC I don't think they will worry about the fools that moan about it going on the computer. Moaning about such things in the first place is just childish, most developers ignore it.

well, at least someone here knows what they're talking about. i haven't heard anything about a pc version since shortly after the game was announced. if there is eventually a pc version, which i doubt there will be, i'll probably buy it. for the most part, the game handles like a FPS. it would only be hard if you've always been a console gamer. honestly, it would probably be better for pc. pc can achieve richer graphics than 360 if you have the right hardware. plus you can modify game files.

I wouldn't get it as I already have it on the 360, sadly though the devs are keeping quiet about the PC version.

Perhaps. But games are easier to design and build around systems that focus mainly on the games, hence, consoles. Their hardware is created for 'next-gen gaming' and gaming alone. Also the system specs are there and the same for each console. PC wise, they have to make sure it's compatible for all types of hardware, software, etc. This is normally why PC versions of great console games fail (for the most part), and why it's normally another company doing the crossover work.

PC's can handle the games, yes, however with less ease. It's not always about the better graphics, the most HDD room, or the bigger rig. It's also about software comparability, other program interference (running the background), etc.

Yep personally i think the PC is far superior to any console, i own both PS3 and 360 but constantly find myself returning back to the PC mainly because of the ability for mods in games :D

Though Graphics are going to match and even beat the best rigs for PC at the mo because when the devs design games its alot easier for them just to focus on one system specification and get the best possible graphics, there are no different graphics cards in each PS3 etc, when they design for PC they've got to think about the best support for both ATi and nVidea, AMD and Pentium etc and try and make support lower end systems because lets face it most people don't have the latest and greatest :D
