PC or Console?

I want it just for the PC, but we all noticed the adverts on the Tripwire website for a next gen programmer with experience on "next gen" platforms.

I want it for both so Tripwire can make more money and keep expanding.
You will only get the best version on PC though with the free maps and mods.

There is a reason I don't have a console, and that is the games that I like to play work much better on a PC. So why pay more money out for a console and for its dumbed-down (*my opinion) games when I can either save it or buy a better piece of hardware for my PC?
Bottom line is, I would prefer PC only, or at the very least that the game was designed so that PC gamers can fully take advantage of all the options a PC will allow a game.
*~~~by dumbed down, I mean less movement/firing options, weapon reload, key binding, free aim, etc etc that result from design being based on a keypad. I like options and more options such as RO offers now. I come from a background of playing (the boardgame) Advanced Squad Leader and like games where the instructions came in a binder 2 inches thick
, so the more difficult with more options the better!

I hope they fully concentrate on perfecting the game to work on PC. Adding a console version is time consuming, and could compromise certain gameplay features to fit both platforms. Just my 2 cents.

PC only - because the PC version always suffers if the game is released on console (seems to be more console orientated, i.e simplified for the masses of gamers)

I agree with whats being said, and I think it would be hard to make a realistic WWII game like ROHOS on a console. I think they should just focus on making the best pc version possible, without having to deal with the consoles.

I think RO would completely lose the realism factor if it gets ported to console, but that's just me.

for me the issue with consoles aint the buttons. even in ro you can do pretty much everything with a few buttons.
For me the major issue is the lack of powerfull hardware and memory. Meaning maps must be smaller with far more visualblocks usually removing the ability to clearly look over an entire square or street.

PC only. Why? Mods. Games that are multi-platform (at least at launch) always have less mods. If the audience on the PC version is reduced, less people would make mods for it.
And the amount of online players would probably die off quicker. For example, many people might stop playing if there are only a few servers and a small number of players. Since the audience would be split three ways, it will be smaller to beign with,
There are acceptions, such as big sellers like CoD4, but no matter how successful RO:HoS is, I doubt it will come even close to CoD4 in terms of sales.
I really hope it is PC only. At least PC only for the first year or so.

PC only if it's up to me, but i can see they want the extra income from consoles.
If that happens, then it should be made as a PC game, and then port it over to consoles when the PC version is done, so nothing has to be compromised for us PC gamers.
I would cry if another good tactical shooter bites the dust and sells out to consoles and the mainstream crowd.
R6, GR, OFP, all true and instant classics, i couldnt endure any more. Don't make me go on a highschool shootout!

Developed for PC, released, then re-released for consoles. That's probably the best way to attract an audience, even if the core gameplay *might* suffer. But the attention and sales might generate another game, and that's always nice to have.

Console only. It's hard for me to aim with a gamepad, and I don't want PC owners to be able to kill me easily.
But seriously, PC only. I don't even understand why someone would want to play an FPS on a console. Aiming ought to be a *****.

Voted PC only because experience shows that single platform games are better than multiplatform. Plus I seriously doubt that RO kind of game would find many customers among console casual crowd.

Wow, the majority who voted for PC only is overwhelming. I hope TWI understands this and leaves RO out of the console business.

PC all the way!!!
If TWI wants to make a RO console game it should not be identical but separate to the PC version.
