Well on the official forums they seem to be rather adamant about it coming to PC. Or they could be bullshitting.

And Why Gears of War 2 is not on PC. And Halo 3 and Fable 2. It's a sad fact that if you see the words "Microsoft Game Studios" then there is a very good chance you will never see that game on the PC.

I am not sure, but I would assume that people at forums are Remedy guys - the developers. They already said that decision about whether the PC version is released or not is in publisher's (Microsoft's) hands. The MS's decision is in my previous post.

Having loved the Max Payne series (done by Remedy prior to AW) and only owning a PS3, I was sad to see this go exclusive to the 360 - not sure the point of exclusives anymore with the prevalence of all consoles, but since Microsoft has the cash to back anything I'm not surprised they snatched AW away from Sony

Eh. I miss the old days when everything was exclusive. PS had own games, so did N64 as well as PC. Sometimes a console game came to PC but it was rare and looked down upon. :)

I don't have a couch in front of a larger TV screen. I've got a chair, and a small old TV that pretty much never gets used.
No xbox360 either, but if I did, I could hook it up to my PC monitor.
To be honest, I had forgotten about this game, but I remember being interested at some point.

I actually see the reasoning behind these decisions. XBox is in a desperate need for exclusives. But they could at least be honest about it instead of "supporting PC as a gaming platform by being an active member of PC Gaming Alliance".

Although I´m not affected by this, as I have a 360, but there are great games comming for every system. See it this way instead: now you have a lot more time to play all the great GOG until somthing new for PC is released;)

Fun to see Microsoft making a statement I would expect from an uninformed console fanboy on a bad message forum.
1) PCs work on TVs, crazy I know.
2) Spooky shooters don't work well on a monitor? Strange so many have succeeded on PC then, i.e. System Shock 2 and BioShock.
The real reason we all know is that MS wants everyone to buy a 360, and even though you would think at some point they would realize I never will and make money off me from Fable 2, Halo 3 and other such titles, they don't seem willing to give in.

I'd forgotten that period of time existed. How sad is that.

Why, as a consumer, would you wish for exclusives? It just bars you from being able to play certain games unless you go out an buy more hardware that you don't technically need. If I was given a choic to be able to play 20 games on one system or play the same 20 games spread across 3 systems, I don't know why I would opt for the latter option.

Hahaha this shit never gets old!
"don't worry I won't tell you are a Heavy Rain fangirl."
hehehe
Also, fuck MS.Lost sale from me.

Don't forget Penumbra. Not a shooter, but a real FP-horror

They're right... a spooky scary horror game certainly isn't right for the intimate PC platform, it should be enjoyed on the couch with a beer and friends!

simple: console games are dumbed down. yeah. it is offensive but it is true.
bioshock for example. simple game.
deus ex 2 is a good game. even a great one (for some people). Yet it is NOT Deus Ex 1. one is exclusive PC game one is both on pc and console.
Modern War 2...
there is also problem with controls. Games made for both platforms often (not always if dev. cares) from crappy control system. custom key association is not even helpful as the core of how the game is played is not compatible with mouse and keyboard.
and finally graphics... not that important but one of the problems.
as much people deny it consoles are weaker than modern pc. when they were released they were more powerful. year later, top end PC could match them. three years after release basic average gaming box is more powerful than PS3 not to mention xbox. that causes few problems both for programmers and for marketing guys who have to explain why console game doesn't look as good as PC port. Crysis 2 should be fun.
ideally i would prefer a situation where all four systems get shitloads of new games with few multiplatform games. like in a good ol' times.
