Title: The Release of XBLA/PSN games on PC an the Future of "Arcade" Titles
Post by: KaZudra on August 16, 2011, 04:42:04 PM
When I logged on to Steam and Checked the Top-Sellers to my surprise they were the Summer of Arcade titles on XBLA.
I remember saying this about HD on PC to be a killer in Sales, turns out I might be right afterall.

Games from PC to Console and at last Console to PC can be Killer in Sales for Games, I hope Konami would Release HD for Steam since I would love to see a slew of Fan made content including some good Soma Colors.

This will be a bright future for Gamers no matter what Platform since Console Devs are finally getting smart and reaching out to the PC/Mac community as PC Devs are the same towards Consoles.

Now, Konami should observe and release some heavy hitters to PC for some unified play.

The only drawback, and Crapcum has seen this first hand, is that the games become even easier to pirate.

LOL @ Pirate Excuse

no offense, but the Pirate biz has been around for every platform since they existed, The PC gaming industry has yet to be majorly affected.

Plus People who wanted SSFIV AE had to buy it Anyway to play online and get Proper Updates, much like ALL PC games today.

The Pirate Scare is for complete morons to just Develop for the "Hackless" Consoles.

And when I mean "hackless" I mean Completely Exploitable once you buy a $20 kit that allows you to not only get Free DLC and Download Games from the official Servers before they are listed, you can also Ban-loop your console making it untouchable.

Agreed. I was just playing devil's advocate. Not unfamiliar with the ways of the download. ;)

ah, I like PC gaming, mostky how you can adjust every aspect of the game to fit your liking. (sound, Graphics, Controls)
PC games may suffer from Pirating, but at least they also offer something worth buying.
