id can't ignore the console market if they want to survive and still innovate.

innovate my ass.

The console doesn't support any innovation, mainly because its processors are designed for executing commands that deal with rendering things, not with rendering AI, meaning AI is harder to program. But that's ok, because all the n00b xbox 360 whores don't care--as long as the game has good graphics, it's good in their eyes, no matter how simplified it is.

id sucks, and John Carrmack is a bitch. The game design does look nice though.

Innovate, as in make enough money from console sales (PC sales aren't as large as they used to be) to support innovative future games. Or so that's what I heard... think I read it in an interview with id's president.

Selling a PC with integrated graphics or an FX 5200 doesn't count, though. The number of PCs with 8000-series GPUs is relatively small compared to next-gen console users.

Edit: Not sure whether you were referring to PC Games sales. If you were, then it's the same argument - best-selling games like WoW, Starcraft: Battle Chest, and The Sims 2 are not very demanding games. Although there are advanced PC releases, like HL2, Doom3, and FarCry, you can bet your bottom dollar that developers are covering their rear ends by releasing consoles versions of those titles.

I think that the complaints are more about giant fonts, simplistic GUIs, and overall less sophisticated, in-depth gameplay. Deus Ex: Invisible War would be a prime example of these faults. DE:IW is a double whammy, though, because it is also a bastardized sequel to a beloved PC title.

Edit: Try navigating Windows with a gamepad.

I sure hope that it does. If it doesn't, chances are I won't bother buying it. Game like this should have multi-player. Vehicles with weapons = tons of fun.

You're the terrorist of game development. Go away! :|
 
Heh looks like Doom 3 engine still.

Considering my hatred for that...yeah, not too excited.

The game aside, what was wrong with the engine?

I thought it was fantastic.
 
Looks good from the vids and the engine looks nice. Now will the game be good? As hyped as the doom 3 engine was it wasn't exactly used for a lot of pc games unlike the venerable Quake 3 engine which powered quite a bit of pc games years ago.


Even though this is a multi platform engine/game there is no reason not to think the pc versions of the game will be the superior versions.
 
From the looks of the trailer, I'm still fighting creatures in steam tunnels and crap? Mmmmm...no thanks. That part of the game just looks like more of the same old Q4 and D3 from that brief glimpse. There are already enough combat racing games IMO too. Just don't know what this is going to bring to the table, that isn't leftovers.
 
What I was thinking. Seriously, wtf? Why can't I have some firefights with human fcking beings, not mutated cliche pieces of human waste, which try to hack me with some tree axe?

Which brings up the point of how bad the A.I. is in those games. I hope it is better than the trailer made it look, or the MP is amazing, because I'm not feeling it right now.

 
Id is going in the opposite direction than I'd wish they'd go. Their recent FPS games have been slow and cludgy. Then when they finally make a new IP, it is just as dark and gloomy as the rest of their IPs. They had the chance to finally show some color and opted for this?

It's like they hate me 🙁. Needless to say, I'll buy it, and I hope the mod tools really help revitalize the mod scene.
