Epic FTW. <3
They' ve had tons of free maps for the UT series in the past. It is awesome they still give these for free even though it would be so easy to make huge profits selling them.
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.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I still give props to Epic for releasing free maps, especially when most additions to games come at a price, if even a small one on XBL, just by virtue of it being so easy to charge, and customers being very willing to pay.

Actually Epics games have always been very runnable on older machines. The original UT didn' t even require a 3D accelerater, and UT2k4 can be scaled way down to almost run like quake 3. Epic simply spoke the truth about PS3 and sony. Get over it.

Sony' s past two consoles achieved their massive success' s on the backs of exclusives. That' s why its a huge deal that Microsoft have picked up so many games that at one time were a Playstation only or Playstation first games. You sound like a complete idiot, ...second guessing an industry figure and trying to sound objective. Sony hurt their knee, dropped the ball and Microsoft have come out, picked it up and are running the fuck away with it while Sony limp along trying to catch up.

The cost comment is obviously relative to 360. I mean, what can PS3 do that 360 can' t except play HD movies straight out of the box?! Is it really worth it if you only want to play games and have zero interest in Blu-Ray?! Does it match Xbox 360 pound for pound for value?! No.

Now stop it.

And Nintendo does what? Oh, I see they don' t play ball at all. Instead they go for a swim in their Blue Ocean.

Stop picking apart tiny parts of my posts.

I don' t give a shit if you can scale down their games to run on an older PC. Then the games look like shit and in an FPS deathmatch game, whats the point in that?

I said dissing a brand new console for lack of exclusives is stupid. If the ps3 was a year old and he was comparing it to the xbox I would understand, but as I said, its stupid to judge a brand new console. If we did that, then the xbox 360 would still be considered a poorly made, unimpressive console with a serious lack of good games. Oh wait, that was a year ago, when it first came out, and now those issues seem to be gone.

No, it doesnt. Atm the Xbox is still better value, but to claim that you won' t support a system the way he does is just stupid. They never used to do shit like that, now he pretends to be completely objective, when MS obviously payed him and his company off to keep GoW as an exclusive.

If he mentioned at the end that he had a deal with MS, then I would say ok, thats his opinion. But for a major figure in the industry to stand there and try and choose favorites in an un-biassed way when its obviously in his interest to hype up and support the xbox is just lame.

It' s a year fucking late arriving. Even KK admitted that he fumbled some exclusive deals because he didn' t have time to talk to the developers and negotiate the deals.

And that' s why he' s sitting in some far off corner of the gaming world twiddling his thumbs & playing um... whatever it is that Kenny K plays nowadays.

False posts? He said this shit for christs sake. You guys are fools if you don' t think its wrong for a person with an interest in a specific console to go and bash other consoles and act objective.

I didn' t bash epic, I talked about Cliff B, because he was the one that said that, nobody else in his company.

I said " 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. "

And it is true for the most sense, Epic still does free content, and are supporting PC, Xbox, and PS3 with UT2007, but Cliff is the one guy in it that has started to blatantly favor the xbox over other platforms.

Microsoft paid Gears of War' s development costs. Epic didn' t have to spend a penny more than it cost them to develop the engine which they' ve been licensing to company after company. Microsoft have a multi-game deal with Epic in which Epic will see lump sums on a per game basis as well as a comfortable percentage-of-profits made deal.

That is all public knowledge. It' s not something that has been secret until just now, ...Microsoft paid for Gear of War and everybody knows about it.

UT2007 will be exclusive to PS3, or at least that' s how it stands right now. Unreal Championship/2 were exclusive to Xbox. What' s changed exactly?!

EDIT: and stop fucking making multiple posts one after another when you think of something else.

Because the 360 handles it well, where as it would require a PC that is a beast to run. And yes, MS gave them cash for a game, whats the deal? With the new " Games For Windows" initiative, we' ll start to see MS a lot more in PC gaming, and I for one am glad that they are trying to turn the PC into a simple and viable platform to develope for and much easier to use. Are you going to be mad when PC devs start praising the PC LIVE functionality?

He said the 360 is the superior console. He' s entitled to his opinion, and being that he developes for both systems(and PC) he' s allowed his opinion. Does getting paid by MS make the console better? I doubt it. Does ease to program for and high-end hardware at an affordable price make it better in his opinion? Probably.

At least SCE published games wont go anywhere outside PlayStation consoles, in the other hand you can bet your dumb-ass that games like Halo 3, GoW, Mass Effect and such will come sooner or later to the PC[:' (]

BTW, there are also some thirt party titles like Tekken, DMC, MGS4 that wont be ported either.

Because SCE is such a great developer. Way to be a moron.

And you cant compare console to PC gaming dumb ass(note there is not a hyphen illiterate peice of shit). A PC to run those games will be over $1000 at least, where as a 360 is $400 for the same gaming experience.

sure but it does a hole lot more stuff and if by some weird bizzare reason u happend to already have a good PC then the game costs from 10-20 bucks less


BTW, only if u have the time please take a look at a work in progress from one of those " not so great" SCE developers, but only if u have the time.
