Zeno Clash is easily one of the most bizarre games in recent memory. Who better to talk about the state of weirdness in gaming than its developer? Speaking with Eurogamer, ACE Team had some concern to voice on the matter.
“I don’t know whether it was because most people had already played Zeno Clash on PC, or that the console game launched a year later, but we definitely had much stronger sales on PC than on Xbox 360,” says Carlos Bordeu.
“PC players are maybe more open to trying weird games — games that aren’t so mass market. But I don’t know that I’d put it as harshly as PC gamers are smart and console gamers are stupid.”
In this specific case, I think it’s a little of column A and a little of column B. Price is definitely a factor too, as is promotion, which has been good on PC (Steam sales). At any rate, I applaud ACE Team for making unusual games — clearly not enough studios are. (Have you seen Rock of Ages!?).
