This link should clear things up for you.

Most of those are just rehashes or will be ported to the PS3 or 360. There are a few solid PC only games but nothing that will make it the defining platform of the year. Such a concept is actually pretty archaic these days actually.

" Alot of the games on there are multiplatform, but yeah, lot's of cool looking games coming out next year on PC. "

Question. How am I suppose to play any of those games if I don't have $2,000 to spend on a new PC every year?

  @PeasantAbuse:
Agreed, but the overall experience of these games will be vastly superior on PC, especially with 2011's big releases like Rage and Crysis 2. Don't get me wrong this gen's consoles have served me well, but I think they are becoming quite stale now and with no new consoles for another 3 - 5 years. I'd say to former PC gamers who couldn't previously justify gaming on a PC when X360/PS3 were more than good enough, now is an excellent time to revisit PC gaming. 
 
I think that list is missing Battlefield 3 hehe.

Most of the ones they were showing were RTS's. And if memory serves correct, RTS's don't work very well on console. "

I didn't really find many of them interesting, but if you really like the PC I bet there is a lot to be excited about. But not all of them will be good, like with all yearly game line-ups.

Guild Wars 2 alone will make PC gaming worthwhile. Alone I say!

There was like one maybe two exclusive PC games on there that looked interesting...

I don't like RTS.
 
Unless devs start making the PC as the lead platform for FPS,  PC gaming will never be mainstream ever again.... Which is a shame but the reality  

" There was like one maybe two exclusive PC games on there that looked interesting... "

PC is always the platform of choice. better graphics, controls, online, mods etc. Consoles aren't bad, just not as good.

Diablo 3, dungeon siege 3 and torchlight 2. NUFF SAID. Even though I'm a bit skeptic about a 2011 release for Diablo 3. Well the devs have said that you can play trough the game, so maybe q4 next year?

I actually have to agree, nothing much exciting in the way of exclusives. Although, from the whole list I'm only looking forward to Dead Space and Portal anyway. I would definitely be excited about SWToR though - if I did MMOs...

I do not do MMOs

oh a link thats nice *moves on*

There are two exclusives on that list that interest me. Two. And one of them is an expansion pack.

The PC is the lead platform for FPS, the console versions are inferior. 720p  and less than 30 fps stuttering jagfests lol.  Bad Company 2 has more players on PC than 360 or PS3. Anyone considering buying the 2011 fps releases will be much better off on PC than console.  "

You're right. No other console will have any good games at all. Time to reinvest.

Dead State, Jagged Alliance 2/3, Shogun, and of course Subversion. I think those are the only games I'm looking forward to, really. Nothing better on consoles either. But man, Subversion. It's like Uplink, except instead of hacking into computers you're breaking into buildings. Just from the devlogs alone it looks incredible.

I was going to click the link, then I realized how much I didn't care.

More good games coming to the PC is always a good thing. And you don't need to spend $2000 for a decent gaming rig that can play most games at high settings.

too bad im a PC gamer who doesnt like RTS games.. cuz thats the only thing that list is showing off

Why have I not heard of Dead State before? I'm certainly interested.

Lol I know adrian werner, always into indie european games like adventure games over multiplatforms. We both don't like the mac. It's nice his blogs are important to pc gamers everywhere.
 
Anyways, about 2011 and pc gaming, right now the console world is a caricature of itself with motion controls and that's their way of squeesing every last life out of the console. Since most of us probally doesn't care about kinect, I suggest maybe you ppl start to build a gaming pc to make up the difference in graphics because now your going have casusal gamers that's the all singing, all dancing crap of the world as their next direction in gaming.

LOL at DIablo 3 coming out next year.

It's always a good time being a PC gamer.

The reason I don't play PC games is that my 360 cost me $199, and a decent gaming PC would cost at least 5 times that. Until PC gaming gets a bit cheaper, it will never be my platform of choice.

They make a list like that pretty much every year.

The only exclusive game on that list that I care about is Diablo 3.

The fact that The Witcher 2 is coming out next year is reason enough to call the PC the platform of choice for 2011, for me at least. I couldn't give a fuck about any of the "lead platform" FPSes, to be honest, and even if I did, most of them have superior versions heading to the PC anyway. 

RTS, The Sims, Diablo like hack and slash, MMO's and some shooters.
 
The only thing that interests me on that list is the Witcher 2, now that they're not even sure if it will make it to the consoles.
If you like the genre's, its a great list, but my platform of choice will still be the gamecube/wii/xbox360.

" Alot of the games on there are multiplatform, but yeah, lot's of cool looking games coming out next year on PC. "

Bunch of screenshots aside, I hope it's a good year for the PC.

Talk about a depressing list.
 
The Lest Guardian alone demolishes all of those... and then you have Infamous 2, Little Big Planet 2 and Killzone 3. Maybe GT5... I guess you can add Journey for the artsy-fartsy guys.
 
The only game that honestly can compete is Diablo 3 , but we all know that's not coming out next year (and maybe Shogun 2 but who the hell even cares about RTS games anymore).

PC has ALWAYS been the platform of choice, but the barrier for entry is far greater, but some would say it is worth the risk.

It's basically a list of deep RPGs, RTSes, and MMORPGs. Not really a surprise. The interface and screen resolution makes for a superior experience. 
 
Then there are a few FPS possibilities. Not a lot, but they exist. I've grown up and come to realize that as much as I was weened on WASD+MOUSE for my entire life, that isn't always the de-facto place to experience it. If you can wrap your head around a console controller (which took me some time and I thought I would never be able to do), then a lot of games just seem like a better experience on console. 
 
For example, I wouldn't even think of playing Counter-Strike or Battlefield 3 on a console. I'd only play it on my computer, where I can have a mouse and keyboard and my pair of 30" screens running in 2560x1600 each. 
 
But COD, MW, and and Bad Company? I wouldn't dream of playing those on the PC anymore. First, the design priority is centered around making it a great console experience. Second, the balancing is all centered around making it a great console experience. Third, I can enjoy my 65" screen and my $25,000 B&W audio system while playing from the comfort of a giant 8' bean bag, instead of hunching over a mouse and keyboard for 10-30 hours a week outside of the 50-80hrs per week I already have to hunch over a mouse and keyboard to make a living. 
 
I've come to accept that my preferred platform is no longer the apple of anyone's eye. I resent it, but . . . I can't do a whole lot about it. What I *can* do is play the games that will be the greatest experience for it and for which it is absolutely superior for on it (MMORPS, deep RPGs, RTS, the occasional FPS) and I can power on the PS3 or 360 for the other stuff.

The Witcher 2 looks so fucking good.  Guild Wars 2 looks like it might be worth paying attention to. 
 
2011 is shaping up to be a great year for gaming regardless of platform.

You just reminded me how many awesome games are coming out this year.

And that I have a PC that supports most of them.Yay!

PC gaming is too damn expensive and too complex. Most people just want to insert the game and play it.

PC gaming expensive? Sure, can be if you want it to be, but you can play on PC's that are cheaper than consoles.
 
PC gaming too complex? No way, ever used steam? It's about the easiest way to play games, you only have to double click on the game to install and play. You don't even have to change any settings, games today adjust according to your hardware.
 
PC gaming dying? No way, see list.

For most, it would be because of Diablo III. I myself think it's a matter of personal preference, not particular year. The PC has been my platform of choice for years.

Do you guys really think these games are exciting?  
 
Really?
