Games for Windows Vista: how the new brand & OS will change PC gaming [update 1]

Dec 18th 2006 1:51PM (Joystiq)
Not crazy about *requiring* controller support -- the great thing about the PC is that it supports games that you just couldn't do right on a console. Consider some MMOs that have 90% of a 105-key keyboard mapped to an important function -- how would you replicate this on a ~12-button controller? Do you really want to use a gamepad to run Command and Conquer? What about games that require frequent text input -- will they *have* to support an onscreen keyboard? Ugh! I hope they were exagerating when they said it was a "requirement" to support the controller -- I would hate to see such a thing keep an otherwise-excellent game out of MS's new walled garden.

New games this week (or not so new games this week)

You guys don't get it -- in that picture, Bub and Bob *are* dinosaurs, and in their mouths you see the tortured faces of some poor bastards that are in the process of being swallowed whole. At least, that's my assumption... uh, right?
