I have not heard of this game.
Can anyone tell me why it stands out as a game you would want on a console?
Anyway,
funny comic. I like this build up style.

Welcome to the Escapist, you'll soon find out that consoles are still viewed that way here.Elois said:
OT: Great comic, I did see something of the sort coming, but still great. I have to agree though, touch screen controls work for a lot of games, but some games all but require mouse and keyboard, some games work great with controllers. Just the way thing goes. Now when it comes to RTS I think that touch screen controls could rival mouse controls.
Now do one where she gives a console FPS the highest award it can get: the "I WISH THIS WAS ON A PC WITH A PROPER FPS CONTROL SCHEME" award.
With good reason, I believe.Yopaz said:
I'm no FPS professional and nowhere near the "good" mark, even, but playing a game of that kind on a console has always alienated me.
I can't even begin to fathom how anyone could make a FPS on a mobile device without forcibly dumbing everything down to the point it becomes a rail shooter with frills.
If I wanted to be a troll here and I really wanted to annoy you, I still couldn't bring myself to say that console controllers EVER could live up to mouse and keyboard. I tried playing Halo Reach and while it could possibly be a good game the controls just don't do it for me. It's a shame that some games with shooter mechanics are console exclusives because even if they're great I wont be able to fully enjoy it without a mouse and keyboard. Both accuracy and speed is off, auto aim only makes me annoyed. I haven't tried any touch screen fps games, but I'd rather keep it that way too.Mokuren said:
Even Halo and Metroid are games I would've loved to purchase on PC because it's essentially where first person shooters belong, similar to how arcade fighters do best with d-pads/analog sticks. It would be nothing short of SCARY to see what a professional Halo player could do armed with a mouse and aim-assist disabled.Bindal said:
But as far as Microsoft is concerned Halo is an essential tool to get people to buy an XBox, similarly to how Mario/Zelda/etc games are essential tools to get people to buy Nintendo's sequential junk consoles.
Limitations aside, it still raises questions as to why things are exclusive to platforms where they don't belong. Imagine if an arcade fighter (say...Street Fighter XI) was PC exclusive. "It's still enjoyable!" people would claim, but would you not ask a whole bunch of questions as to why such a thing was done?BroJing said:
Enough with the devisive commentary folks. Mobile, console, or pc, it doesnt matter as long as they're playing. This need to feel superior to your neighbour only damages gaming culture as a whole. If you wanna play your FPS on a console so be it. Enjoy. I prefer PC if only because I've been using that control scheme for almost 15 years. However, some of my finest gaming memories involve Golden Eye. It's like watching an impressionist claim their approach is a truer artform than surealism.
tl:dr Same team people. Watch your friendly fire.

I disagree 100% with Metroid, mainly on the basis that it's not really a first person shooter. A game like that with locking on would not work well at all. They'd have to change up the entire control scheme and basically just turn it into an regular fps if they wanted it on the PCAaron Sylvester said:
OT(ish): There are amazing games on Android?! Where? I haven't even found anything I'd warrant calling "okay"
