Monday Night Combat Just Got Super-er

Meh, why? There are plenty of real shooters out there that are also free.

I'm getting the impression from Alex's wording that he doesn't realize Monday Night Combat came out on PC sometime after the XBLA version.  I.E., this isn't the first the PC will have seen of the MNC franchise, as this article seems to imply.

You expect a tiny indie developer to pay for bandwidth costs that their publisher/platform holder charges them?

Well, it would be nice if developers prepared for the finances required to support their titles. Wouldn't it? Anyways, here's to Uber, I hope they keep going strong because they seem like a good team. Maybe they'll come back to consoles, or maybe I'll find myself with a decent gaming PC someday in the future.

THOSE FINANCES SHOULDN'T BE REQUIRED, THAT IS HIS ARGUMENT Also you don't need a gaming PC to play MNC... A decent PC these days is cheaper than a current console and you don't have to pay a subscription fee to play online.

Show me a decent PC that cost what i paid for my PS3, $250, you can't.

I am not shelling out $600+ for a gaming PC just to play some games in my living room, it's why i HAVE my consoles, i have a beast of a gaming rig in my home office, which i play SC2 on, will play D3 on and maybe BF3, i prefer console gaming it's cheap, you can't build a $250-300 PC from scratch and play high end games.

5v5, So is everything becoming DOTA all of a sudden?

This looks amazing!!

They should put this version on PSN now. It could join the lone other F2P offering on PS3 currently, Free Realms. Sony's console can do it; why don't more F2P games come to the PS3?

@Styl3s: "you can't build a $250-300 PC from scratch and play high end games." You can do that easily, it may be lacking an optical drive but then again that's why we have Steam. And why exactly do we have to do it from scratch? The best part about gaming PC's is the components are so delightfully interchangeable. Surely you own an average PC too right? So lets add this all up PC - (Estimated $300), PS3 - ($300), And that's only one console and one very weak OEM(If it was custom built you could easily assemble a $300 PC that could perform like a console plus provide a usable PC for general use) PC. OR you can have a $600 gaming and productivity powerhouse which you can easily output to your TV and use it like a console, albeit at a higher resolution with Anti-aliasing and as many control options as you want. Exclusives really aren't worth having a considerably worse third party videogame experience. Seriously I can't think of a single reason to purchase a console.

And i can't think of a single reason to buy a PC. I own a high end gaming PC and the only game i play is SC2.

I prefer console gaming, i prefer the console exclusives over PC exclusives

LBP, Infamous, Uncharted, MGS, Gears, Halo, KZ, Demons souls, dark souls, heavy rain, ratchet series, yakuza series etc. i can keep going, past 5 years the only 2 PC exclusives i have cared about were SC2 and Witcher 2, Witcher 2 is coming to consoles. I am not wasting $600+ to put a half ass pc in my living room when i can just put a disc in my ps3 or 360, i don't CARE about graphics, i don't CARE about keyboard/mouse, i CARE about gameplay, sorry i don't give a shit about seeing a tree 3000 feet away, worse experience? how so? i absolutely fucking love third party games on consoles, im not a jaded shallow pc elitist, i don't need super eyeball exploding graphics and the ability to see a goddamn cockroach from 8 miles away, just because graphics matter to you doesnt mean console gamers have a horrible experience, my experience with deus ex and every other third platform is just as good as yours on a maxed out PC because it has the EXACT same gameplay.

Theres a reason i own 4 pc games and over 150 PS3/360 games combined, don't tell me your experiences are superior or im having a worse experience because thats fucking bullshit and makes you sound like an asshole.

To be honest, I don't like it. I wish that there was updates for the 360 version. That is where the real money is.

@Styl3s: Playing a game on a console is like playing with both of your hands chained together. Playing on a PC is like breaking those chains. PC gaming is unhinged gaming, the ultimate in choice and flexibility. Whether or not you care, you cannot deny that it is better.

How so? it's MY preference.

It doesn't matter what your preference is, the experience can always be better on a PC. Better fidelity, better controls (You can use literally any controller you want, including a Wii remote if you're crazy.), better framerate, can play it on a monitor or a TV, any way you want. What you prefer is to live in your own little bubble. That's fine. No one's gonna pop it for you, don't worry.

But we don't care that you prefer consoles. I prefer not to spend a "small" amount of cash on the actual system and then pay out my ass for games unless I feel like waiting for a year after release. Oh, and those lovely proprietary peripherals, man, a 250GB hard drive for only $50! What a deal! I can get 2TB for $100 and use it for all my games, not just my 360 ones. You don't have to like reality, though. Lord forbid you "lug around" a PC rather than set up your living room properly, like someone who lives in the fucking 21st century.

Yes it does matter, experience is based on preference and the person, just because your experience is better on the PC doesn't make it so for other people, just because YOU think keyboard/mouse is better at controls doesn't make it a fact, that control option is based purely on preference and opinion, it's stupid pc elitist like you that give gamers a bad name, get off your high fucking horse and just enjoy games, i live in the 21st century, i PREFER console gaming, i have a BETTER experience on consoles, if you think otherwise well then i don't give a shit because you are a random person on the internet who means nothing to me, doesn't effect me and you don't have a right or the ability to tell me what my experience is, you can't tell me i will have a better experience on PC when i have a high end gaming PC and PREFER my gaming on consoles ].

It's all PERSONAL PREFERENCE and OPINIONS, i am sick and tired of you high horse pc elitist nerds, it's people like you that make me want to stay away from all video game forums period because you people you are all superior and that if it isn't PC gaming its complete garbage and the only way to play is on a PC, bullshit. BULL-SHIT.

My reality is called real life, i have a life, i don't get a lot of time to play video games and when i do i enjoy my console gaming more, if you can't comprehend the definition of personal preference or opinions then i feel sorry for you, one day you will grow up.

Hmm, I wonder what this means for the old version.

Loved MNC because it is a great game but hopefully I get a special hat (lol) for helping them by buying it on both XBLA and Steam. Excited to see the changes.

I own both the pc and xbox versions so will be interested in this.   We can always use a larger player base.  

Any word when this is out?

I'm getting the impression from Alex's wording that he doesn't realize Monday Night Combat came out on PC sometime after the XBLA version.  I.E., this isn't the first the PC will have seen of the MNC franchise, as this article seems to imply.

Did anyone else have to reread FTP as free-to-play, or is it just me?

Oh good. Glad I paid 10 dollars for this two months ago.

any news on if it'll get a mac version?

F2P = Free to play.

FTP = File transfer protocol.

Come on guys, standardize this before the genre gets out of hand.

Ugh, I bought this game kinda recently on PC, I hope owners of the game get some kinda bonus. At least the ability to play 6v6, what the hell is with that?

I guess this is explains the apparent abandonment of the fans that kicked started MNC.  They're too busy making a f2p game for pc gamers to be bothered with updating the original xbox version.  
 
Thanks Uber.

I was always interested in this game but never actually got around to trying it out. This seems like a perfect opportunity to do so.

Still wish they'd patch the 360 version, as that's where my friends all play.

I got completely sick of the Xbox version after playing it for about a week.
