Did anyone ever consider that ALL console games are developed on PC's? Why? Because a PC can handle whatever a console can play and then some as well as being a far better tool for doing the work (obviously). Could you imagine developers being hamstrung by only being allowed to develop using the console only?

DUH!
Doesn't mean a game can't be developed for a console..
You noticed here never said he wasn't developing for the PS4. Star Citizen will PRIMARILY be a PC game (Implying other platforms, including PS4, are still possible.)
He said: "As for the next gen consoles, PS4 and Xbox One, we have NO CURRENT PLANS, but my stance remains open and is consistent with the many interviews I’ve given."
It's great that the game stays on PC and everything, but... GTX Titan SLI and 4 R290x ? Is that what is necessary to play the game at max settings lol... ? This is a millionaire's game -_- I didn't get 25 million dollars or whatever in funding like he did to get these computers...
Like breadm1x said above me... He sounds like a douche talking about his computers about 0,001% of the gamers could actually afford...
The OP deserves an upvote for using the word "kerfuffle" or at least lunch on the boss.
I would love to see more console games ported over to PC, and I would be more inclined to buy PC games if they worked on the console. This is the appeal of the Steam box to me, if they end up really pulling it off.
HEY BILL MURPHY! SEE THAT? LUUUUUUNCH!
But it's such a great and evocative word. How could I pass it up.
Don't get stuck on the gfx aspect of this. He mentioned some other reasons why consoles suck. Namely the interface, the multiplayer aspect, the peripherals, the ability to update and distribute content.
I think they are looking into developing the game for the PS4 and XBOX. Why spend all the backers money just for the PC when they can try to get the game to work on a console and make millions more. They dont have to spend millions of thier money to try and make it work so why not give it a try.
wow am I glad I wasn't one of the suckers who paid money for this guy's intellect.
"Star Citizen IS a PC game. It will NEVER be dumbed down for a lesser platform."
really bro? Lesser? Believe it or not, many of your customers are going to be on rigs inferior to the ps4. Getting very tired of these devs and gamers who only care about graphics power over good gameplay.
A lot of wishing going on in this thread. Sorry console folks, your inferiority complex has the best of you again.
What Chris said about MS and Sony being open in content I think was meant to imply the game would need to be cross platform playable. As in PS4 and Xbone players in the same world. Sure Sony has ps3 and 4 users with pc gamers in FF14 but don't hold your breath if you think Sony and MS would make an alliance for this game only..
It is silly to think it will be primarily on anything but PC.
The controls for that game on a console would be horrendous... so many quick keys you need to use and there is no way you can scroll console menus fast enough.
Can you imagine playing X series on console? It will be such a headache...
Also Star Citizen will be a hardcore space sim... it wouldn't be a casual game like most of the console titles. I can't imagine it would appeal to many console owners anyways.

Let's party like it is 1863!
Cool nice PC upgrades, bet the his home PC is even more spec'd. Along with his new bathroom, kitchen, car . . .
And thus the cult of Roberts once again was chanting and swaying their merry way.
Honest to Bob, the SC community is and will most likley be 10x as fun as the game.
This have been a good conversation
DUH!

Star Citizen will be Space Sim game! With FPS on ground and stations.
Both gameplay types port easily to the consoles without having to dumb Down anything at all!
This game won´t be a button mashing, 4 row of shortcut bars type of game / MMO !
So again! It will be Space sim and FPS game, which you don´t have to dumb Down to port to console.
So I don´t see what the fuzz is all about.

No wonder what else would he be saying.
Most of they CASH they collected are from PC gamers witch have a console for the girlfriend so they stop nagging him.
And about the setup he is talking about..
Sounds like "omg look i am a pc gamer with 4 x 290X and a 4k screen"
says says nothing to me since he prolly got it for free and did not pay for it himself like the "normal" gamers do..
Most gamers still use a Full HD with or without 120+ Mhz.
And a 7970 / gtx 770 videocard.
And they still game their asses off.

As one of those backers i wasn't never in any doubt, over reacting is the norm these days.
As for the Titan's SLi, lol a man after my own heart.
