Oh, piss off Haj! :p Black is like Burnout for First Person Shooters. :)

The Xbox and PS2 versions has been released, but I never read anything about a PC version coming.

slightly off topic, but more on topic than the previous post.

I love console games, they feel very playable, and are always excellent fun. pC's have awesome games, but they just feel different to consoles. Like soulcalibre (best game ever), fighting games never feel the same on PC.
My question is this : would a console game that has been brought to a pc feel the same?
Sounds like a stupid question, but I am sure those that have consoles know what I mean

Haj,

It all depends on the developer IMO. Lionhead took a great deal of time to perfect the Windows control scheme for Fable, and it didn't suffer from consolitis while introducing an innovative control scheme at the same time. This is by far the best console port from a "feel" and "control" viewpoint.

Bioware's interface for KOTOR was a bit consoley, but once again they did a great job to bring normal Windows controls to the game.

The real problem comes in with First Person shooters, and regardless of the WASD key layout they bring over, it still suffers from consolitis. Deus Ex : Invisible War is most probably the worst culprit. It just "felt" like a console game from the get go.


So, in a nutshell it is not so much the platform as the developer IMO. I also think that certain genres are just more suitable, like fighting games on consoles and FPS games on PC.

No arguements here however Chronicles Of Riddick is a port and that was probably one of the best games for 2004/2005 by quite a margin.

Yeah, Riddick was another great example of it "done right".

There are games that work best in each environment (PC/Console) - so I'm afraid that you'll just have to buy both. Sorry - thats just the way it's going to be :p

True, the only problem with that is they way things are going at the moment your going to wind up having to own three consoles just so you can play all the good games :( I wish SONY would have just continued dominating.
