Epic is a true game company. They aren' t just out for profits like EA.
This is true in the most sense, and used to always be true. Don' t get me wrong, I love Epic and have always played their games, but lately, Cliff Blezinski lost a lot of respect from me.
When he went on his rant about Xbox360' s being far superior to Ps3' s because the ps3 didnt have enough exclusives yet, and " cost" too much, it just struck me as hypocritical and shortsighted.
This is from a guy who has designed fairly cutting edge games for PC' s for years and is calling out a PS3 for being too expensive? I dont mind spending money on a PC, but its ALWAYS been more expensive to run Epic' s past games on PC' s rather than consoles. And dont say you could just get the console version, because those never came out anywhere near when PC versions did, and they looked like crap.
Also, anyone saying a brand new system isn' t worth supporting because of a lack of exclusives is stupid, the 360 had nothing I wanted when it came out, and for quite a while after, but now it has quite a few games I want, which will lead me to getting one in the following months.
Epic never used to do exclusives, now GoW is solely for the Xbox360, they had to get payed out by Microsoft to do that, which means for me, a step in the wrong direction for one of the biggest gaming companies who have always managed to stay true to the game, and not worry about exclusives or maximizing profits like so many big gaming companies.
