”About two or three years ago we realised that we really wouldn’t survive if we only made PC games, since purely making PC games was incompatible with our goal of making triple-A games,” said Wedgwood while demoing Brink at the EG Expo in Leeds.
”You just can’t get the publisher budget to ever use an orchestra in London, and then go and record at Abbey Road and get the best voice actors if you’re only going to release on the PC, where there isn’t the sales to justify that kind of work.”
Wedgwood has since started playing console games, as he was a hardcore PC gamer before, and has a history with the PC mod scene. ”Because we needed to make that transition, I started playing console games, and spent a lot more time playing console stuff.” he said.
There are still a few companies that will develop exclusive releases for the PC, Blizzard is one of them with Diablo III and Starcraft II upcoming. Are you a PC gamer that started playing console games more?
