Epic to Focus on Console Gaming
Epics Cliff Bleszinski has said that the studio is focusing on producing console titles for the time being, claiming PC gaming is currently in "disarray".
"I think people would rather make a game that sells 4.5 million copies than a million and Gears is at 4.5 million right now on the 360," he told MTV Multiplayer.
"I think the PC is just in disarray... Whats driving the PC right now is Sims-type games and WOW and a lot of stuff thats in a web-based interface. You just click on it and play it. Thats the direction PC is evolving into."
"For me, the PC is kind of the secondary part of what were doing," confirmed Bleszinski. "Its important for us, but right now making AAA games on consoles is where were at."
Bleszinski declined to name said games, refusing to be drawn on a much-rumoured sequel to the multi-million selling global hit Gears of War. However, he did say Epic is sticking to making games for the demographic its familiar with.
