Dead Space 3 on PC will be a Straight Port from Consoles

Dead-Space-3-On-PC-Will-Be-A-Straight-Port-From-ConsolesIf, like me, you prefer to play games on PC if the option is available to you, then you may be waiting with bated breath for the PC version of Dead Space 3, which is due to be released simultaneously with its console counterparts. Surely the PC version is going to be better right? Right?

Apparently not.

According to an interview conducted with Visceral Games by the guys over at Games.On.Net it seems as if the PC version of the upcoming Dead Space 3 is going to be a straight port of the console versions, no extra features, not even any in-depth graphical options, nor any support for Direct X 11. The PC version may have some small graphical options but nothing that will make it look significantly better than its console brethren.

What do you think about this news? Does it bother you or do you think that all formats should maintain the same level of detail, etc? Let us know in the comments below.

Dead Space 3 is due to be released on February 8 in Europe, February 5 in North America and February 7 in Australia on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC.

    Awful news. I wasn’t that interested in this because of the change to co-op but hearing this is the nail in the coffin. A shame.

    I’m a little bit disappointed personally, but I suppose that’s the era we’re living in. Consoles come first; simple as.

    Not necessarily; there are still many PC friendly developers and publishers out there. Bioshock Infinite is meant to be much better on the PC than Bioshock 1 was – FOV options and proper Hor+ in widescreen. Square Enix’s recent games have included Direct X 11 support and high res textures for the PC.

    A game series as gorgeous as the Dead Space one deserves a ultra-high quality visual affair on PC :-(

    There are a couple out there, yeah, but they’re still in the minority. Let’s hope PC gaming makes a proper comeback in the next few years!

    I know a few people are hoping it will make a big resurgence now that Microsoft and Sony are preparing their next consoles. I don’t mind, I just want to play well-optimised and customisable games on my PC
