Please Stop with the "This Game Cannot be Ported" Nonsense!

posted 16 November 2007, Friday

Being on the internet requires truckloads of patience, but I've just about had it with idiot gamers who quickly dismiss the idea of a game being ported. Naturally this stupid mentality comes from bullshit fanboyism, but it's out of control. Seriously people.

The fact is, and yes it is an absolute fact, that if a developer wants to port their game they will port it. It doesn't matter what you say or what you think. They are going to do whatever the hell they want to do with their game and there is nothing you say that will change that. Capcom wanted to put Resident Evil 4 on cellphones, and guess what? They did just that. So please stop with the incredibly stupid argument that game X cannot possibly be ported to system Y. No it may not look the same, no it may not play the same, but a port is a port and the little bit of knowledge that you think you have about hardware capabilities doesn't mean shit to a developer who wants to do something with their game. 

I don't know why gamers feel the need to tell developers what they can or cannot do with software that they created, but it's stupid. So just stop.

I know what people do this, they think that just because a game looks good, that it can't be ported to a certain console, in other words, they think they know everything just because of looks.

They don't even research of the technical aspect of Sega's arcade systems and the next gen consoles that are out.

They're just fanboys that know everything about nothing.
