Just for clarification these are the PC versions.

Anyone else extremal pissed that they are delayed as far back as they are. It wouldn't be as bad if they we rent delayed before. Assassins Creed for PC was suppose to come out next Monday now its set for the end of March. Mercinaries 2: World in Flames was supposed to come out late February now its back to fucking April. My question is what do you guys think about that. I mean I've been waiting for since I heard they were coming out for PC.

I guess there are still only 5 nerds with computers powerful enough to play them... same reason why the new Star Wars game isn't coming to PC (although they made an INCREDIBLY dumbed down Wii version which removes the insane pixel shaders just so people can swing the wiimote around like a lightsaber).

IMO it shouldn't take so long to make the PC version since they make the games on PCs. It should be released at the same time, they're probably doing it console only first to milk it as much as possible before the PC release.

angry black man, thats very sad to hear... yet I almost saw it coming. What next gen games WON'T have to be graphically toned down to fit the wii (that aren't coming out on just the wii)?

Which is the reason why I don't really care for the Wii except to play games made by... well, Nintendo.  But let's not turn this into a Wii discussion.

They actually make games on software development kits which emulates the software (sort of) of the system they're developing a game for.  They design it on PC's but the contents are created only for the system in question.  Making computer games is stupidly difficult because you have to predict what hardware EVERYONE is using and it's really resource intensive.  With a console, all you need is a controller and you can play the game.  With a PC you have to factor in the 30 million different graphics cards and differences in processors and stuff.

I'll be honest, I'm surprised PC games have survived this long.  Consoles have reached that point where they significantly outdo affordable PC components for at least 2-3 years (I put affordable in bold because PC's always outdo consoles but until a few years pass you're looking at several thousand dollars just to play VIDYA GAYMS).  With consoles becoming more like PC's with their ability to network and without the need of extra parts, I fear the PC gaming industry will fade away...

...but people were saying that 10 years ago and that didn't change shit.

To be fair to Mercs 2 it still doesn't have an official release date (on any format) so wherever you heard February and April are both likely wrong.

Is that why all the decent PC games are shooters because PC gamers are psychos

Oh and sim games because they have a god complex

Edit: My plan is just to play all the PC games 10 years later when everyone's grandma's PC can run it and I'll be like "this Crysis game isn't so great". But then again they'll probably all have console ports in 2 years

I spent $1000 on a computer capable of running pretty much anything, and it sucks how we're always last in line for games like these.  I'm pretty fucking sick of playing FPS games, no matter how innovative they act like they are.  Lately I've been playing older Star Wars games because there's nothing new worth buying for the PC. 

And why isn't The Force Unleashed being released for the PC?

True but I thought that I read feb. come where. IGN says April.... don't remember the date off hand. Assassin's Creed was supposed to come out in a week now its back a month.

And why isn't The Force Unleashed being released for the PC? 

According to the developers, they built a custom pixel shader engine that specifically takes full power of the 360 and PS3 and if they tried to build it for PC then only 2 or 3 cards on the entire market would actually support it.  They said they would make a PC version once the market has better access to DirectX10 cards that can handle their pixel shader.

Which makes sense to me.  If you're making a PC breaking game that only 10 people in America can play then why waste the money?  Crysis actually sold TERRIBLY and I read on Kotaku or something that the developers regret canceling the 360 release.

Didn't know that. Seemed like it did pain you to say that, though.

Its suposee to be like a single player MMORPG.
