They probably had a focus group research study, where it became apparent that the marget segment for the PC users was to small to cover the overall marketing campaign.

Im surprised the whole game hasnt been canned yet, it's essentially vaporware as far as the general public is concerned.

DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself.

 

Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture.

I'm pretty sure the production time for Max Payne was at least as long.

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Wasn't it even longer...

 

Edit: According to wikipedia from late -96 to July 2001.

SUCKS! wasn't this supposed to be THE DX10 GAME?

 

It was supposed to be PC only with QuadCore as minimun requirement and complete DX10 utilization. How the times change.

No, it was supposed to be the poster child for (Intel) quad core utilization, not that it was supposed to be the minimum requirement. It would run on two cores too (minimum requirement).

I for one welcome the day when we are forced to play our games on console that we will be issued with by our beneficent overlords. Consoles containing games we never actually own, full of adverts and behaviour monitoring. No doubt the cause will be 'financial issues'. After all, the marketing team need their massive yachts.

Aww, corporations are people too!*

Or should I call it scotus? It's almost a homonym of the word I'm thinking. :*

Bleh, that was just to fool the non-QuadCore crowd that they could play it too :lol:
