PC Version of New Deus Ex Developed by "Partner" Studio
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Let the record show that not only did I call first on Bane being in the next Batman film, I also called that this fake Deus Ex would be terrible and even specified why almost two years ago.
This will not be a Deus Ex game how fans understand the term.

Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Darksiders: Wrath of War, Prototype, Transformers:Void(null) said:
War for Cybertron, Dead Space, Dead Space 2 etc.
Also, I remember some of the Nixxes' ports - LoK: BO2 & SR2 were good; Defiance - terrible. It's gonna be just a port. Nothing special, as the guy from the article said.
id Software's RAGE is developed in tandem for all three platforms. It runs at 60fps on the 360, PS3 and more on the PC. The game looks better than Red Dead Redemption did at its best too.valkeminator said:
OT: I'm only mildly worried. I feel that their best move now is to release some sort of short trailer showcasing some of the PC exclusive features, maybe the inventory system, configuration menus, etc...
To the best of my knowledge Bioshock was not a Console to PC port. It was simultaneously developed for Windows and the 360 using a modified version of Unreal Engine 3. The "Port" was the PS3 version of the game.ZeppMan217 said:
Darksiders suffers from control issues, little to no graphic options and those that do exist like vsync are broken. You cant use the keyboard if a gamepad is plugged in, and you cant remap the gamepad buttons. Control pads other than the 360 pad have problems being detected.
Transformers: War for Cybertron. Keyboard keys can not be remapped and the game does not allow you to edit your controls. When you plug in your controller, the game will automatically map the buttons, which can result into horrible controls. The game has X-axis and Y-axis sensitivity differences, Y-axis seem to be more sensitive then X-axis.
Dead Space I did not play but I saw a ton of complaints that the smoothness of the console controls was replaced with a clunky and awkward feel.
I'm not saying any of these were bad games. I am saying they are bad ports. The greatness of the games themselves shines through how wretched the ports themselves are.
Unoptimized code, terrible controls, lack of settings, bad UI and the general lack of consideration or care for the Mouse & Keyboard, or the power of the PC.
lol I never managed to repress it, it gave me a nervous twitch it both elbows though!Raiyan 1.0 said:
i may be wrong but arnt most PC gamers really looking forward to this game and for their copy of deus ex on PC?Skorpyo said:
and looking at the game title im worried.
Console ports to a PC SUCK because of the interface. Borderlands is the perfect example. ME 2 was better. Fallout and Oblivion were unplayable on a PC without mods.
A PC interface is a mouse and keyboard and 18 inches from the screen. A console interface is a controller at 10 feet. You can't possibly have the same interface and expect it to work at all.

Well thats it then, I was already seriously considering giving this a miss from the trailers and previews... but now we know its a dodgy port I'll definitely not buy it, at least perhaps until its £4 on steam in a few years.
As strange as it sounds, it might be a good thing.
Talented PC programmers are somewhat lacking at the moment in Montreal with Ubisoft and Bioware hiring massively all the time.If Eidos were bright enough to use external talented people instead of "whatever they could find" locally, it's a good choice imo.
Also, there's already a good deal of people working on the game right now, look at the picture ;

All these people are there just for creative content and console playability, there's more people doing the "grunt work", he did say all creative direction came from Eidos, isn't that a good thing ?

Why is there all this animosity between PC and Console gamers? * speaking as a dirty peseant console gamer here, but i do occasionally game on my PC*
I don't much get it either. I think people telling PC gamers that "PC gaming is dying" does not help. Might be the source of the hate. I personally prefer PC gaming with the only console I own being the wii. To each their own I say. More people playing games is good.Ben Hussong said:
Consoles tend to lose very little except graphic fidelity when a PC game is ported to consoles and even then, the quality of the end result will at least be as good as any console-native game. On the other hand PC loses a hell of a lot when a game is console-native and then ported to PC because the system spec budget curbs development ambitions. Had Grand Theft Auto been made for consoles first, there would have been no Grand Theft Auto even if the series won it's major fan-base on Playstation. Real-Time Strategy games are the only genre where PC-to-console ports have been complete failures recognised by most people. As first-person shooter migrated to consoles, only PC players noticed the drop in quality; the expanding console player-base didn't, they were just glad to be able to sit on a sofa and play deathmatches with friends.Ben Hussong said:
The animosity from PC players is that we don't all have high-end machines. We go through cycles where our brand new comp is in the mid to high range and then after a few years it isn't, it's playing older or more simpler games and they are still good. These are games which can be made with smaller development teams, smaller budgets and smaller specs; we know good games should not be hardware limited and yet that is precisely what console-ported games represent. They have been limited by hardware and have suffered for it, compromises have been made that didn't have to be.
So if hardware isn't the problem, what does that leave? Only the consumer. Console players do not demand better; when they eventually get benefits that PC players have enjoyed for years such as online play or updated content, price-tags are attached to these things which were previously free and then they are re-branded as propriety services or 'DLC'. Console players are happy to pay for something they didn't have before, PC players are pissed to have to start paying for something that we know we've already paid for in the asking price on the box. This isn't a step forward for us, it's like history has reversed and we're now going down the alternate route it could have taken in the 90s if only it hadn't had to compete with the technical expertise of the user-base.
We had LAN and we could configure this to work over the internet, so no propriety online service or forced peer-to-peer. Now games are increasingly taking those things away from us as well as mod tools, dedicated servers and everything else that meant when we didn't like what publishers were forcing on us, we changed it ourselves.
All because console players don't demand more.
Well thats my preorder cancelled, can't be arsed to make the PC version yourself then you aint getting my money.
