Personal Computer, is there even any other way_ Unreal 4 is supposed to be too powerful for any current console to run anyway.They need to either make better consoles or make the engine worse, and I'm not willing to sacrifice the quality of PC gaming so that people silly enough to believe that consoles are superior can be catered to.

[MechMechanic]

Completely agreed.

To be honest, the same old motherfucking consoles (PuSS 3, 360,  WiiU) can simply FU.CK OFF.

Prefer Mac. Otherwise PC. Played really well with a keyboard and mouse at PAX.

Yes indeed. This game is the door for the next generation. It is fair on graphics doing a great job artistically. It is amazing in the game play and it should be polished on PC alone. Once the game creates the fan base only then the game will be ready to make the jump on the new consoles.

The current ones are old, has no sufficient ram, the graphic card inside the 360 is extremely weak and old. Developers will end up cutting corners of their game. Hawken will loose a lot of grace if it is ported on the current consoles and the WiiU. It should stay on PC and evolve there.

Once the game is tested and proved, then the game should jump to the next generation. It's inevitable to see it on the new consoles. I would love to see it having a great success on the new hardware. Hawken should enjoy the wealth of being a sounding franchise like Halo for PC.

I think Hawken and Planet Side II gave a good vibe for PC gaming. It was deeply needed during these years of scarcity.

KUDOS to Adhesive.

As many people have said already, PC's tend to be better than consoles when it comes down to details, like depth of field or motion blur, and because this game showcases such features, I think it should come out for PC first to ensure quality, then to consoles. My only gripe with PC multiplayer gaming is that so much of a player's game depends on the quality of the equipment he or she has. You could have the best player in the world, give him or her a regular 800dpi mouse, and a machine that support only the lowest setting of graphics and no headset, and suddenly, where did all that skill go_

One of my favorite things about consoles is that there is, for the most part, standardized hardware across all 360's or PS3's. Also, since this game is a mech-based shooter, not a human-based shooter, people shouldn't be able to turn around in a quarter of a second like they can in other games, seeing at how realistic of an approach the game is taking. I could see a mech's controls very akin to a gamepad. Also, consoles do not get the problem of hardware compatibility. If it plays on one PS3, it should work on all PS3 consoles, unlike PC where devs have to make certain that it will work across a broad range of graphics cards and the like.

I would like to see the game come out for all platforms, but would like a PC release first, just to ensure that the most extreme graphics get toned down instead of having decent graphics get turned up. Even better would be waiting on the console to release and packaging it with the next generation of consoles, instead of toning it down for older ones.

You obviously don't believe on the words contained in that bait. I'm sure of that.

People with crappy machines and low res are amazing players. It depends on your skill despite the hardware configuration. If you have a bad provider then you are on a disadvantage. It's the skill you provide to the game not the hardware in it.

"One of my favorite things about consoles is that there is, for the most part, standardized hardware across all 360's or PS3's."

Equal SKU always are for those who are cheap unable to purchase better hardware. The problem with the standard is the impairment of having progress, modifications, improvements and increments of details. Current consoles suck since the ram is 512 Mb and 256 for the PS3 and the 360. The connectivity is awful and there's no option for dedicated servers. This game should be available for the next set of consoles not the current antiques.  

"I could see a mech's controls very akin to a gamepad. Also, consoles do not get the problem of hardware compatibility."

Disagree.

The disadvantage against a PS3 stick is way too obvious.

"If it plays on one PS3, it should work on all PS3 consoles, unlike PC where devs have to make certain that it will work across a broad range of graphics cards and the like."

PS3 and 360 is a reminiscent technology. It's actually eight years old. You may bait with a better argument. This one is hard to believe. Besides why I should spend energies formatting a game for eight years into the past when I have current tools that makes cheaper the development. Adhesive is a small team. They don't have time to gimp and optimize the game for eight years old hardware.

I choose not to take sides, really, since I game where I can with what I can. I follow games, not platforms.

The instant you pick a keyboard/mouse and a PC you inevitable take a side. Simple as that.

[Wargod]

I would have to say PS3 or PC.

PC.

If you put the game on a PS3 you have to gimp it. Then the whole game suffers in content, graphics and game play.

Sidenote:
I love bait accounts. <3.

PC for me, since it's what I have to work with.

Who dug this topic up and why has it not been locked yet_ Nothing good ever comes out of these, just flamewars.

PC, preferrably Linux. fuzzy bunny the outdated consoles, they held gaming back for long enough.

Indeed. Plus, I figured some people were going to come out and say things the way I did, going "I really don't care, I follow games if I can" but it doesn't look like that kind of thread, does it_

[QuanZen]

I have the Nostromo, and the Naga on my PC so that pretty much sums it up for me. But my PS3, and 360 are in the bedroom so you never know when I may want to kick back in my bed and kick some fuzzy bunny. So I may go multi platform eventually.

PC all the way!
