Very nice article here. (http://blogs.rockymountainnews.com/denver/freePlay/2006/02/sleeping_giant_the_revival_of.html#more)
Snippet :
"Epic Game's Rein says Vista will make it much easier for developers to squeeze every bit of power out of a computer.
"It will get us much closer to the hardware," he said. "Right now you can get a lot more work out of an Xbox than you could get out of a PC."
Rein, whose Epic Games is developing titles for both consoles and PCs, says that in many ways the two markets compliment one another.
"The good thing about next-gen consoles is that they are such powerful machines and that will translate into better games on the PC," he said.
That's because many developers create games that can play on all platforms, PC and console, and often they have to limit their titles to the lowest common denominator - usually the console. As the consoles elevate their power, the games can catch up."
And a quit true statement :
""Publishers need to take more chances," said Robert "Apache" Howarth, editor of gaming site Voodoo Extreme. "PC gamers are sick and tired of color-by-numbers designed World War II games, generic real-time strategy titles and massively multiplayer tripe."
You listening EA? Are you?
