GÇ£Hold on a second, we havenGÇÖt confirmed that ValkyrieGÇÖs on PC,GÇ¥ he interjected

GÇ£Well, I mean, PC is definitely in the cards. Is it definitely something thatGÇÖs there in 2014 on commercial launch day? I couldnGÇÖt answer that for you yet. We certainly could do it, but itGÇÖs still a question of whether we will.GÇ¥

GÇ£No, weGÇÖre not necessarily [basing our launch on when Oculus comes out],GÇ¥ he clarified. GÇ£While we canGÇÖt get into details here, there are other platforms that are available. It is technically possible to run this game without a Rift. ThereGÇÖs a whole bunch of different things out on the market right now.GÇ¥

seems pretty normal for designers to avoid the question of what platforms the game's being released on early on. i think they have to figure things out with the publisher and console manufacturers first. so don't panic, eh

In the general press (CNN, blah blah blah, etc.) I keep reading all this stuff about the Death of the PC.

Sounds like it, if this is how game developers are thinking already.

I remember when the first rumours of Dust being a console exclusive started to float about. Everyone was pretty much on the same page, "nah thats never gonna happen" It happened.

Only CCP would even think of taking something thats caught the worlds attention and then saying Nah, we are going PS4 exclusive and it will only work with this new PS4 VR headset.

yeah i'll just leave you to rage about it then, i'll be over here chillaxing and drinking chocolate milk

Confirmed


Press tells truth

and i'm all outta milk

Someone has Hilmars ear. He has been brainwashed that the future is F2P and microtransactions. Everything you hear him say points in this direction.

To CCP devs lurking here: Guys, I understand that you're holding off before you commit to a platform. Totally get it. I'm a dev, I understand the implications.
However, please look at the feedback from the PS3-only Dust. We EvE players want an accessible Valkyrie release. Dust is not very accessible to some of us, as an additional gaming system in the house is not always possible.
Just, please get the feedback where it needs to be, and voice that Valkyrie would be very, very (very), welcome on PC.

Noted. Oh damn, I'm decloaked.

UPDATE: Taken from Reddit

What Is Heresy?

The reliable sources keep piling up

So at least we know he is listening, is he hearing though? thats a totally different question.

I think you've got your expression reversed: you can hear something without listening, but you can't listen unless you can hear. Least-ways, that's how I've always heard that.

* Waves newspaper at me* See?! The Prime Minister SAID it was so!

Valkyrie, if it is being designed like I think it is, then it belongs on the console machine.

PC games are for big boys. The kiddy pool is that way>>>console machines.

WTF ARE YOU DOING


PUT THAT THING AWAY BEFORE YOU GET US ALL KILLED


BETWEEN HIS HOWLING AND YOUR BLASTING ITS A WONDER THE WHOLE STATION DOESNT KNOW WE'RE HERE

Yes

FLIGHT SIMS

do not belong on PCs

Not really rage, just frustration.

When all the stuff with Incarna was building the player base kept saying no. CCP kept saying yes. Eveyone knew that releasing an expansion that pretty much consisted of one room that couldn't be modified was daft.

When CCP announced Aurum players were pretty much Meh, as long as its just vanity we don't care. Then CCP went ahead and confirmed (via newsletters and emails) that they were pretty much planning on releasing ships for Aurum. Players went nuts.

When CCP said they wanted to release their new game on a console right at the end of its life the players were unanimous "WTF" CCP did it anyway.

When CCP decided to give trillions of isk to one person because of er....we want to. Players pretty much just slapped their foreheads.

I just don't understand how they think sometimes. Remember this guys job is to get positive press for CCP. Think about it, what positive press has CCP had in the last couple of years that wasn't player done? What bad press have they had that was CCP done? Is he doing his job?

Don't believe what CCP says.

worth plexing my account just to watch CCP continue to shoot themselves in the foot

If Valkyrie isn't released on PC, I wont be a happy bunny

I can't see it not being released on PC though. Hillmar backed the Oculus rift kickstarter and they had the Oculus guys come to fanfest and demo Valkyrie on the rift. So to suddenly turn round after that and say "sorry we got a better offer" would not be very nice...

well, let them make it for console only. Going to be the same fail like Dust 514. What CCP always seems to forget is, that its Us pc players who pay for the developement of those games and then they release it F2P as a console exclusive game.

Good job CCP.

We PC players pay for access to this game.

What CCP does with the money after that is their business, not yours.

They could just as easily take their profits and invest them in an Icelandic fishing fleet if they preferred, and people would complain that they weren't consulted on the type of nets being used.

Its less about being mad how CCP spend the money and more about watching CCP waste potential.

Look at the growth rates of Eve. The game grew rapidly until around Apocrypha expansion. It also happens to be around that time they pulled a lot of focus away from Eve and started spending large amounts of cash on Dust and World of darkness. As more and more focus was pumped into these new projects eve got less and less resources given to it and things started to fall apart. As new content steadily decreased the player numbers stopped growing. the players naturally (rightly or wrongly) believe that if CCP had pumped all that money into Eve we would have continued to see the population grow.

One things a fact, no way has Dust been a great investment so far. Now we see their new game heading down a bad path too.

The funny thing is an old corpmate of mine who I can never tell is joking made a rather interesting point that CCP very well may be looking to sell themselves off to another company. The slim down in devs, the slow down in production, and the overall stagnation that seems to be dwelling within CCP seems to kind of point to such a thing especially with all the rumors going around.

That's awesome... having a great idea, getting a nice piece of hardware that actually can be used and then screw it all up by "not confirming it on pc" (already!). Yes, please CCP, get this on Console done, port it then on PC like every good game is screwed up these days, and then hold up a white piece of cloth to measure the shitstorm that will come at you.
Are Developer these days trying to achieve the "worst Company"-Award?
