No PC gameplay footage :(

[QUOTE=Salteh;287720]Taking ~10-20 xbox discs with you to an event is much easier than bringing 20 PC discs, installing the game, making sure there are enough computers that can run the game, updating drivers/software…

especially when the event itself lasts less than a day, I can see a reason for choosing console over PC this time :)[/QUOTE]

But in the mean time there stilll hasn’t been any PC footage played with a mouse and keyboard. Even at PC orientated events you show off the console version. Why is there a total lack of PC footage?

SD managed it at QuakeCon and Eurogamer :wink:

im sorry, but its not “this time” , its more like “all the time”

(Diablo85) #4

Exactly. And now a big part of the SD fanbase feels left in the dark.

there is no PC footage due to the disparity in min and recommended spec. Show low res, everyone screams console, show hi res and everyone moans their 4350 can’t run it

You keep saying this but never show any confirmed PC footage, for the love of God why? It just does not make sense with less than a week to go before release not letting people see the game they are wanting to buy???

Also why does Splash Damage call out other games for using a different game engine for single player and multi player when it looks as though you use two engines yourself - one for cut scenes and customisation and one for the actual game?

I dont understand what the big M+Kb deal is?

What do you want people to say exactly? Yes when I pressed A the character on screen straffed left?

Its a week until launch, the PC version will be what it will be. If it has massive flaws SD will fix them. They have and still do support the PC gaming community extensively.

You would not buy a car without knowing the handling of it… Just saying it’s a ‘Ford’ and should be like this other ‘Ford’ model would not do, would it?

We want to see mouse+keyboard footage to give us an idea what the gameplay on the PC will be like. That’s the least SD could do, since they are not going to release a beta or demo either.

Ah yes because the two are the same. Indeed your right I wouldnt buy any car without test driving it. But before I got in the car I would know that the acceleration pedal makes it go and the brake makes it stop, to use your anology.

If your concerned about the PC version, dont pre order/buy it until you are convinced otherwise. Simple as that

Journalists have already played the game on PC using a controller and had nothing but praise… Showing Mouse and keyboard makes no difference.

They have also said you will be able to customize the keys, so again what is the benefit?

Sorry champ, I don’t mean to be rude but you’ve got no idea.

(tokamak) #13

What kind of bogus argument is that? Seriously. We’re not even here for the graphics, we want to see mouse+KB gameplay since Christmas 2009.

It’s all the difference in the world.

What if SD makes a big prank on PC gamers and only puts garbage on the installation disc to make the setup longer than 4 hours, and at the end we will only get a ‘buy yourself a console’ screen with two buttons. Buy and Buy now.

(Diablo85) #15

Why did this thread get split in two ?

(Shackahn) #16

Sorry champ, I don’t mean to be rude but you’ve got no idea.

Care to enlighten me? I dont see how it would change the dynamics of the game?

It’s all the difference in the world.

How so? your not suggesting that it simply wont work with a keyboard and mouse? Otherwise what is the benefit of seeing the footage?

Like all analogies it is not supposed to be taken too literally. I was just saying that the reason we would like some mouse & kb feedback is that an FPS lives or dies on it’s ‘feel’ and as we are not being given the chance to try the game before launch the least we can have is someone else telling us what they think. Not much to ask now is it?

I agree, but what does this have to do with keyboard and mouse?
