UT3 and Gears of War to attack the Mac
Great news to all you Mac twitch gamers! Two marquee shooters are being developed for your platform of choice. First is Unreal Tournament 3, which as you know is coming out for the PC this coming November. According to Macworld, this news shouldn’t surprise Mac fans because it has been mentioned in Epic Games’ forums, and has been said to be suitable for the Mac.
The other shooter might come as a surprise though. Epic VP Mark Rein told GameTrailers that Gears of War is also coming to the platform.
Notice anything interesting about the two shooters?
They’re both using the Unreal Engine 3, and apparently, porting games that use this core software component to the Mac won’t be that big of a problem.
Still, one can’t help but wonder if bringing these shooters to the Mac would be worth the effort, particularly because of the platform’s small user base. Sure, the PC market may be smaller than the sheer bulk of people owning consoles, but it’s relatively bigger than the Mac market.
A BusinessWeek commentary on Mac gaming revealed that a “successful” title might sell 50,000 units. How many units do you suppose would these two shooters sell?
