@alex do you know if this has any chance at all for a PC/Steam release? I would want a PC release, even if it forced local and controller use

@hammondoftexas: My understanding is that PC/Mac/Linux version is coming sometime during the summer, but I don't think it has a set date yet.

I really wonder how all these couch co-op things are doing. It's a great idea, but leaves out a lot of the market. I rarely have an opportunity to bring together 4 people to game. Plus the problem of getting together four PS3 controllers or four move(!) controllers in one place when they're $50 or $25 a pop.

Although local multiplayer is probably a great way to experience, these games would look great on the Vita. It would need online multiplayer though. I guess there could be some sort of configuration of linking your Vita to the PS3/PS4 to enjoy it too.

How are people going to complain about the local only co-op when they make it clear thats entirely the point?

@mrfluke: Mee too buddy.

@leafhouse: Just because that's the idea, it doesn't mean it's a good one.

Anyone know if it would be feasible to use Wii remotes on the eventual PC version? I haven't a single move controller and they seem pricey, but I'd love to play Joust with friends. Even if I can't, the rest of the games seem just as awesome. I'll definitely pick this up.

@mrklorox: yes, but if they've put their full weight behind the idea, they obviously know what complains can come from it and have dismissed them. Then again, i might only be annoyed by all of this because i fully support their decision.

With all these couch multiplayer games coming out I wish Sony would off like a special 3 pack of PS4 controllers for $119.99 or something...like a buy two get one free special

Most people are going to buy at least one extra controller, but four is unlikely...if you were to offer a deal like that though most people would be like "well I'm already buying one for $60...but if I buy another one I'll get two more soooo fuck it"

But looks like I'll be going to a used game shop to buy a couple more move controllers for cheap because FINALLY I have something to use them with....this is the most recent game to support move controller since what? Puppeteer?

@cdub901: I think Rambo The Video Game was the most recent with move support.

What do the PC versions use instead of the Move? If the game is as crazy as the trailer makes it out to be, I can see this being pretty good.

@mrfluke: I don't, it's great to see games tailored to local play like this; it just wouldn't work as well online. But I feel your pain, I have no close friends who play games, so I can't enjoy these on my own. It won;t stop me from living vicariously through GB's sessions.

I'm happy this is out but I'm floored at how long this took to come out. Haven't these games been playable for months, even years in some cases?
