The release of rtcw in 2001, et in 2003 is nothing compared to release of any recent game? I am only talking about pc gaming and only talking about fps.
If you look at CB, ESL or any other competitive site (dunno) there is little activity compared to 10 years ago...
It doesnt matter for developers if their most users are consoleplayers, they only want to see there game to be played and bought, I cannot blame them
What if ET was released in 2011 instead of 2003. It would never had the success it has now..
Ever played a fps on console? This is never meant to be played like this
The beginning of the end is already started. Every fps game released is first developed for consoleplayers. I hope nobody is hoping for ET:2 because if it would be ever released this would be such a disappointment. Forget about MW3 forget about BF3, their aim is to keep the consoleplayers happy
f*ck you man

I think PC has a long way to go to regain popular appeal and might never do, but for hardcore gamers and for FPS players I think it will make a solid come back.
BlackOps had dedicated servers on Xbox paid for by microsoft so there you go :p
For MW2 I can see why IW dropped dedicated servers, it keeps the game a bit more consistent and you don't miss the start/ends of games but they could have just wrapped dedicated servers in their match making system and things would have been just as as good.
Much has changed in gaming, consoles have become a bigger market BUT I don't feel that PC gaming has decreased - just look at Steam, CSS, TF2, CoD4 etc... but consoles have grown faster
You are talking about older games. I dont know anything about stats but its just a general feeling. Sticky this journal and look back at it within 5 years. I predict an even worse scenario. You get a crate of beer if you're right! But I need 2 of them if I am right :))
I know some developers were looking into true P2P servers which will be interesting to see how they perform
what do you mean by that?
The GAME that i played with love are: QUAKE III and rtcw (cracked) and ET
But you are right that consoles will certainly succeed whereas the PC game niche will die a slow death I guess. I think no FPS engine besides for BattleField3 is being made for the PC - they just make it for consoles and make poor adjustments for the PC. If some developer decided to make a blockbuster game like ModernWarfare exclusivly for the PC they most certainly go bankrupt.
counts :P
Dunno if you've seen this yet but it's honestly mindblowing imo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zw8SmsovJc
Even the sound is awesome.
edit: wow just saw the new gameplay trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UwOrl036_A
sick shit ;o
RAGE is being developed primarily on PC
anyway if a game is made well then the platform/hardware shouldn't really matter too much
The only good competitive fps-games ever have all been produced on the Q3 engine.
In before Slajdan's "OMG CS AND COD YOU RETARD"-reply, and no they suck compared to the games I mentioned.
u b trolling man.
