PC Gamers get another slap in the chops , no mention of PC demo for Bulletstorm

[Spoon E11]

OMG it's just a demo. So your missing out on a demo. big deal. Read a review and see how much it costs ect when the game comes out.

Plenty of games dont get released on consoles when they should. Don't make a "ZOMG hate bulletstorm" post just because you dont get a demo.

Name one major release in the past five years that fits

On PS3:
Left 4 Dead 1&2
Dead Rising
Mass Effect 1

Does that help?

Were released on a console. They're basically the same platform.

Not exactly, given the amount of bile developers get when they ignore the PC on this site when the same people barely bat an eyelid when a console game is made 360 exclusive.

 

[Ninjamedic]

It's just a penis measurement competition between Sony and Microsoft

And I suppose all that boasting people make on this site about how PC's are far more advanced along with Crytek's bitching about consoles holding back the glorious PC master race isn't?

This isn't an issue of platform these are just lazy developers plain and simple.

A number of sites have started reporting on the exciting news, a demo will be available soon for Bulletstorm, a eagerly anticipated title from Epic / People Can Fly published by EA.
This news is extremely exciting for 360 and PS3 players who will be able...

... wait, you heard right. 360 and PS3 players, but the game is appearing on 360 , PS3 and PC so why is the PC once again blatantly singled out for sub par treatment ?

I have no idea.

So play the demo on your 360, then buy the PC version

*makes negative comment about platform not owned*

*gets lots of quotes telling me what a jerk i am*

OT: should look into this "bulletstorm", havent heard of it.

So play the demo on your 360, then buy the PC version

And pray the PC version isn't a shitty port?

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

Maybe they figure PC players will buy it simply because it comes from a good legacy.

I didn't realize bullet storm was a Kennedy.

Kennedys have more good will amongst PC gamers these days than Epic does.

Name one major release in the past five years that fits, while I do the same with PCs and only very recent/to be released games.

Red Dead Redemption, Heavy Rain, Uncharted series, LA Noire, Infamous series, Halo series, Killzone series, Gears of War series. Off the top of my head.

How many RTS dont get released on console? Not many. Halo Wars made an example and said RTS can work on a console. Many RPGs could be released on console as well. I mean come on.

I CBA with this flame fest* anymore any way

I was flaming too

And once again, the PC gaming crowds sense of entitlement is kicking right in. Seriously, you didn't hear all the console gamers up in arms when the PC got that MoH beta.

Simple explanation there. Beta. Beta's are generally for PC, I've actually never heard of a beta for a console that wasn't already a console exclusive. The difference here is demo, which has always been cross-platform.

So, we've gone from a discussion about how other platforms can be ignored, to how consoles are holding PC's back?
Look, I'm fed up of this discussion, All I'm trying to say is that other platforms get excluded as well. You're not an exception to this rule. The amount of people who said It was wrong to ask for Mass Effect to appear on PS3 as it was Biowares choice of what platform to develop for, then have a hissy fit the very instant a developer decides to not release a PC demo, not because it is a silly idea, but because PC elitists see it a birthright that all games appear on that platform.

Sorry if you think I'm wrong, but just having a keyboard doesn't allow double standards.

 

[Ninjamedic]

And you don't even give me an example of an RPG that should've been released on a console.

Vagrant story and Deus Ex would like to have a word with you.

And you don't even give me an example of an RPG that should've been released on a console.

Maybe you could list a dozen or so RPGs that should have gotten a PC release to fill in the time.
