Battlefield 1943 PC delayed until 2010

Battlefield started on the pc and yet EA won't even release a simple REMAKE at the same time as the console version. Are we really supposed to believe that they need more time for the pc version? If the ps3 version of a game is more difficult to program, why then is the pc version always delayed? They need over 4 more months to finish the pc version? For a remake that uses an older 3d engine? Are we really supposed to believe that?

This was probably a move by EA to encourage more people to ditch pc gaming and switch to consoles. There is no way this delay is due to technical reasons. Of course they will say it is but they're not going to flat out state that they delayed it encourage people to buy the console version.

How can people who are pc-only put up with this type of crap? Delays, excuses, treated like suckers...don't you get sick of it?

The arrogance of pc-only gamers on this board needs to be taken down a notch. It isn't the 90's when the pc was a priority for big gaming companies. Outside of rts and mmorpg the pc has become a delayed console port machine. Bragging about your sli machine is a joke when you have to wait 5 months to play a console port in a slightly higher resolution. It's an even bigger joke when that game is a remake that started on the pc.

So what you're saying is that you only like mainstream games from big companies. Too bad. PC has lots of support from smaller and indie companies, especially in Europe. Which make IMO better games than the mainstream developers and publishers do. PC gaming is fine, we don't need your console ports. Especially since 1942 is in every way superior and was released 7 years before.

It has more to do with pc gamers being treated as alow priority.

I just don't see how people can be pc-only when this type of crap happens so often.

1943 is just a noobified version of 1942 so who the hell cares.

It tends to only happen with few console-to-PC port jobs. Considering the PC has the largest amount of high scoring exclusives to entertain the userbase, it's very easy to be a PC-only gamer

lol, trying to make pc look back using 1943, when there was better game on pc long time back --- sometimes I wonder if people even think a little before bashing PCnaval

Since the PC has the highest amount of AA+ exclusives for 2009 alone, no I won't be playing old games.

[QUOTE="dc337"] So you deal with it by mostly playing old pc games? dc337

It includes the Sims 3 (which was pretty damn good) but no Nancy Drew games. Are you a fan or something?

Oh look someone with a Dragon Age avatar. Wasn't that originally a pc exclusive? You know, spirtual successor to Baldur's Gate? To be a pc-only gamer these days must require some thick skin to handle all that disappointment.dc337

Mass Effect was originally 360 exclusive, so I'd say that's a fair trade-off. Given the option of playing either version of both those games, I'll always choose he superior PC one.

If they scored AA or higher they would have to quality games regardless of genre. And no, there is a diversity in the exclusives I mentioned. Ranging from Combat Sims, Shooters, RTS, Managers, RTT, Adventure and strategy.

Oh my god! Warner Brothers is trying to get people to switch away from the Wii, DS, PS2 and PSP, they recently delayed Aragon's Quest!

Oh noes! Splinter Cell has been delayed! Ubisoft must want people to switch away from the 360 and Wii!

Gadzooks! MAG has been delayed! Sony Computer Entertainment must want people to switch away from the PS3....err wait, what?

Or, it could just be that games get delayed. It's kind of a common occurence in this industry.

Seriously, this is like saying the government is trying to murder people through the Department of Transportation after a car accident.

You continue to be one of the primary sources of trite on these forums dc337, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Wow.

You sure like to lash out desperately to try and 'own' someone, huh?

Meanwhile, PC gamers are very dissapointed they're still receiving the most high quality exclusive games, as well as their immense back catalogue. Ah, but I'm sure several of those games shouldn't count for some arbitrary reason.

It probably is, but I doubt it's to kill sales on their second most profitable system.

The fact dc337 told us in the first post his goal is to take Hermits down a peg demonstrates how objective his reading of this situation is.

Wait, I thought pc gamers didn't care about this remake.

I still don't see why PC gamers are arrogant. IF it's anyone, it's the console elitists like you who try to bring it down with pointless threads. I've never heard a PC gamers say "console sucks!", but the opposite has happened quite often. Please stop being a hypocrite.

You just keep repeating the same crap over and over again. This is like the 23907589th time we heard you say that no games are coming out for PC. I know it's hard to understand, but if people still like their PC for games, then your little opinion probably won't change that, no matter how hard you try to troll.

I tried the 1942 demo from PSN and it's just a arcade game that really needs no real skill to master. I have 1943 and there is a lot more to this game than 1942 has. The planes require some skill to dart, climb, dive attack, and overall just keep it in the air to begin with. The vehicles also require some skills of when and where to use them.jimm895

Some of the titles may be questionable (the same goes with all consoles), but the PC also has a ton of great indie games that never get reviewed, so it's a fair trade.

Oh yes, I think that was supposed to be an epic PC exclusive, before they dumbed it down for the console crowd (it used to be advertised with in-depth online gamemaster options, but all that was cut since the multiplat announcement, and now they only advertise it with excessive sex, gore and metal music). :roll:

Then again, it's still coming out on the PC...not that it really matters, since Bioware haven't made any RPGs in the past decade that have compared to the depth and originality of other old or recent PC-exclusive RPGs (like The Witcher, Mask of the Betrayer, etc).

Hm, anyway, back on topic...it's not a huge loss for the PC, which is already inundated with great online shooters. Besides, it has only been delayed on the PC, while the consoles won't see two of the other new Battlefield games - BF Heroes and BF 3 - so I don't really think this counts as "ownage", or whatever the TC is trying to claim.

rumor mill is saying that bf 43 took ea by suprise with it's sales success since it was just supposed to be basically a beta for bad company 2 mp

expect new maps before the end of the year

i'm thinking pc got put on the backburner as they scramble to cobble together more console content
