Platforms

[D. Denton]

I used the search function for this but didn't found any topics about it...

So for which platforms is Deus Ex 3 coming?
I like to know because at a Dutch Game site you can create a club but you need to have a source for it... so a moderator should reply else it wouldn't count...
I also like to know so I can save some money for a new PC.... Although I preffer my 360... doubt it will only be PC

[René]

PC's the only certainty right now!

[GmanPro]

Yay!!

This game is sounding better all the time.

[D. Denton]

Yes it does except that I gotta swave some cash for a gaming PC :P
Yes that's right this will be the first time I will actually by a complete new system.. ( self build offcourse ) for only one game.
Most games I play on the 360 but this one is a must have for me

[René]

I can't remember the last wholesale system upgrade I did for just one game. I throw in new video cards and RAM all the time, but I can't remember my last major change for one title. Maybe it was EverQuest II.

[van_HellSing]

For me the last major upgrade was in anticipation for BioShock. Replaced pretty much all the innards of my PC. The game was disappointing, but hey - the hardware still runs all new games like a charm (Fallout 3!), so it wasn't all for waste. Should suffice for DX3 too.

[Jerion]

Yeah. DX 3 is going to be the first time I upgrade everything for a single specific game.

Because if you're going to do it for any game in the next half decade, this is it.

I upgraded my whole computer just before Oblivion was shipped. The last time was two months ago for all the games I had missed in 2007-2008 (studies), I was really shocked by how low prices were.

[Bloodwolf806]

Well, when DX3 was announced it was announced for PC and Next-generation consoles

So the 360's a given, and the PS3 is a strong possibility. But the only "official" platform right now is PC.

[foxberg]

Well, I don't have to upgrade anything. I just bought a brand new 17" MacBook Pro. I don't think they will have Mac release but someone will definitely port it.

[Kahlell]

360, please!

I hate having to use a PC, the controls are clunky, and I have to tweak my PC in all sorts of crazy ways, etc...

I jsut want to be able to plug and play, is there anything wrong with that? I don't think a "fun" game should require hardware "work."

[Radox Redux]

If this thing doesn't come out for the PS3 (as I was under the impression) then I won't be able to play it...

[GmanPro]

Sir, while I may not agree with what you say. I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

PC > Console. If you had an awesome PC to crank up the settings, then you would understand. Playing on a console is like having someone drive you everywhere as opposed to having your own super-fast sports car. The work you pour into it is what makes it so much more fun imo.

[K^2]

They have the engine already built for PC, 360, and PS3. I don't see any reason not to target all 3.

[Big Orange]

I've got an X-Box 360...

I don't care how I get there, I just want to without having to find a better car every couple of miles.

If you build a good enough PC, then it can and will last you longer than any console. And do much more for you.

Not without persistant and money-sucking upgrading it won't. It's all a moot point anyway. My console can and will run DX3 just fine... if it comes out that is.

[GmanPro]

I haven't spent any money upgrading my PC in almost two years and it is much more powerful than my Xbox and can still run new games at high settings. I could hold off on any upgrades for another three or four years and still be able to play most games (not at high settings sure, but neither can the xbox).

So will many PCs built before 360 was even released. You really don't have to upgrade anything if you don't want to. But you can if you do.

[GmanPro]

I don't know how easy it is (probably not very), but I remember hearing about some people who did some slight modifications to their Xbox's. It seems to me that an xbox is really nothing more than just a PC that uses a funky operating system, so it should be possible.

[K^2]

Original XBox was just a PC. New one runs on a PPC architecture. Same one used by older Macs. So does the PS3, interestingly enough. The difference is how they handle computations. 360 runs 3 full cores, while PS3 runs two somewhat lighter, but also complete, cores, plus the 7 SPU cores. Each SPU can, in principal, run its own OS, but they aren't very efficient at that sort of thing.

People have managed to do some upgrading on all 3 of these platforms.

[NK007]

My PC is now 5 years old, and the only time I'll be able to play DX 3 is Feb. 2012, but if that's the last thing I do, I'll get a new comp and finish that game at least 3 times.

[GmanPro]

A sound plan my friend . Three internets for you. I plan on doing the same.

[Necros]

My last big upgrade was about 2.5-3 years ago, since then I swapped the CPU, bought an extra GB of RAM and a couple of months ago I swapped the graphics card. None of these cost a lot but kept my PC to be good enough for gaming.
