Piracy and Polish May Delay Bionic Commando PC; New Screenshots Celebrate TGS

PC Gamers are refined, they are the gamers that have "Been there done that".
If you can't wait for a later release or absolutely have to get the game first then just buy a console!

How about you go work for free and see how well you do!
Developers actually have to consider money decissions, this is their job, not yours. No sales, no pay!

At least they are actually releasing games on the PC, especially when all the other so call "PC Exclusive" companies have abandoned the PC platform.

Its up to the gamers support whether the PC will rise or fall as a good gaming platform.
Things won't happen instantly but if the sales are good on the PC then slowly it will gain ground on consoles.
If you don't think console games should come out on PC then it doesn't really affect you since you won't be getting it anyway.

Having a later release also has its advantages, new content, lower price!
Who knows, this may be a big test before the release of Resident Evil 5!

Wait, so they're blaming piracy before the game is even released now?

Just release it on Steam, dumbshits.

Why can't people accept that piracy is seriours problem? I guess people just dont like to hear bad things about thier platform.

Someone should start making a list of the BS developers who use piracy as a excuse for delays / low sales / whatever.

Something tells me that it would be quicker to make a list of developers that don't, though. And in a totally casual coincidence, those developers consistently make good games. Whoa!

Everybody on the piracy delay bandwagon....we're running out of room!

Capcom's favorite scape goat. By the way, does anyone have the numbers on Bionic Commando Rearmed PC? I wonder how much jilting Steam cost them in the long run.

I'm happy they're delaying it, the game probably could use some more polishing and there are way too many good games coming out this fall/winter.

I wonder if they're supporting mouse and keyboard for this. When I last played it, you could literally only play the PC version by plugging in a gamepad. I asked them like three times to be sure I understood properly, and very strongly suggested they reconsider that design decision.

Newsflash for developers:

No matter what you do, your game will be pirated by someone. The only true defense is making it subscription-based (like MMOs), and even those are hacked to run on private servers.

Either release it or don't, but stop spending so much time trying to outsmart the pirates. They're smarter than you and your game will be pirated within 24 hours. Everyone always thinks they're going to be the first to make their game unbreakable. You have a better chance curing cancer.

Why not wait a month or two until the PC release is polished and do a simultaneous release? They obviously waited until both the PS3 and 360 versions were readyto ship. And from a marketing standpoint it makes sense to take advantage of release day hype for all three systems. Then if the PC version doesn't sell well blame it on piracy all you want.

I love English. I read that as Polish, as in Poland...

I'd say they have a good reason after DMC4 was massively pirated despite lackluster sales.

"Piracy" is the new missed deadline excuse.

Why even bother...
