rekrul 7 Posted February 17, 2010 Eventually I think that retail PC games will be phased out entirely, it is undeniably a dieing market, eventually gaming companies will not see the point in producing PC games anymore.Yeah that will happen around the time when linux install base is higher on desktop PCs than Windows...There's no doubt that the console market is bigger, especially for the big titles but the PC market isn't used to selling less than consoles. Ridiculous DRMs is biting back and actually giving paying customers a worse product than the free and illegal ones. Services like Steam (and Sprocket I guess) will be dominant and you'll see more pure online games with servers hosted by developers/publishers and probably a small monthly fee. Think small-scale WoW... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricbar89 0 Posted February 17, 2010 my thoughts exactly.whats even more depressing is ofpdr drops support, and they flood over to arma2 begging for a console version. im sure theyll make it, they wont argue to taking your money and i could care less, just as long as PC support and development doesnt lose priority. if that happens ill be royally pissed Hope you've been lurking a long time to say that, and if you have you'd know that theres an even older and bigger 360 thread so i guess not. :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arma-2-Guru 55 Posted February 18, 2010 Found this on the IGN PS3 section, it says it's also on Xbox 360 and PC, but the release date it TBA. http://uk.ps3.ign.com/objects/958/958403.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pulverizer 1 Posted February 19, 2010 I wonder why they don't mention the fact that it's also TBA for Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation Computer Entertainment Systems 1 & 2. Rumor has it, even the Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 ports are TBA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This means there is nothing to get excited for or hold your breath for. But for the price of 2 ps3s you can get a decent rig to play this game with the full editor and all the mods that wouldn't be in a console version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They used to say "PC and next-gen console" on www.arma2.com and www.bistudio.com but both of those mentions were removed in silence quite some time ago.

Darkside6 10 Posted July 27, 2010 does anyone know when arma 2 will be released for the ps3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted July 27, 2010 does anyone know when arma 2 will be released for the ps3? If people knew anything, don't you think they would be talking about it? Anyway, it's more a question of "if", rather than "when", and so far it seems unlikely that it will happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkside6 10 Posted July 27, 2010 ya i was figuring as much. just seems a shame that they would pass up a oppertunity to make a ton of cash off ps3 owners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimRiceSE 10 Posted July 27, 2010 but honestly, in all seriousness..is anything but a massively castrated version of arma2 going to run on todays consoles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamic Echo 10 Posted July 27, 2010 but honestly, in all seriousness..is anything but a massively castrated version of arma2 going to run on todays consoles? Oh they might get it working decently...given years of development time spent purely on optimisation, but by then the next generation of consoles would be out. So waiting for the PS4/Xbox 720 would probably be the best bet for them. Also would give them time to figure out a viable control scheme, which would be extremely painful.

AnimalMother92 10 Posted July 27, 2010 As much as I love my PS3, I don't think Arma would work out too well on a console. There are some games that should stay PC exclusive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PuFu 4600 Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) How would BI fit 100 or so keybinds on a joypad? How would BI manage to get content that has problems loading from a normal/fast HDD drive from a DVD disk real-time? This reminds me that most of todays games don't have a fire selector, or lean keys on PC, mainly because the consoles don't have enough buttons..

liquidpinky 11 Posted July 27, 2010 How would BI fit 100 or so keybinds on a joypad?How would BI manage to get content that has problems loading from a normal/fast HDD drive from a DVD disk real-time? This reminds me that most of todays games don't have a fire selector, or lean keys on PC, mainly because the consoles don't have enough buttons.. I currently use a Joypad and mouse, I can play with no mouse whatsoever if I preferred dumbed down aiming as all my keys are between the controller and mouse itself. I only ever need the keyboard for messages, PS3 can use a USB keyboard no problem also BTW. PS3 has a HDD and blu ray, DVD need never fit the equation unless you are Xboxing it. Lean, could be done with the PS3 pads tilt sensors. So the only limitations are really the actual PS3 hardware, the CPU itself can hold it's own but the GFX card is lacking. Sony's biggest mistake was in fact not using a better GFX card as if they did there would be no Xbox360 today. I mainly game on my PC but I also have a PS3, you may have guessed, but it only gets dusted off for rare occasions of games of MGS. The real reason to not want any of the consoles getting their foot in the door is usually when one of the console producers give the publishing company a bung, the next thing you know they are taking the M$ shilling and PC will be getting shitty ports.
