Anyway like some have said give PC's a couple years and they will pass Xbox 360 and PS3 up no problem yet again(gfx wise and hardware). Even now Xbox 360 doesn't look any better(if not worse in some games).
Also reason we ain't seen alot of sports,adventure,ect is because they don't do so well on the PC and probably never did. MMORPG's,FPS'ers,some racing and a couple others will live for a long long time if not forever because theres millions playing and I think will continue to play.
Furniture is a silly thing to bring into this arguement but i do agree. Also, kbs for gaming will soon be obsolete(analog/heat sensing/gyration) controls will soon be on the way and i think will soon replace kbs in the next 5+ years.
Pc will catch up in terms of graphics, but food for thought: the ps2 has been out for 5+ years now and look at the graphics it can produce here and that looks just as good as any pc game that just came out. So it may be another 5-6 years before the pc can catch up with 360/ps3.
Funny thing is that the games that really sell and keep pc gaming alive are the ones that require the least ammount of hardware upgrades(the sims, warcraft/starcraft, mmorpgs, and rts)
I like this discussion...to me it it all comes down to this: Video card: $300 Console: $399(not to mention the consoles will have the latest in technology, while the video card is just one of the upgrades required)
This guy knows what he's talking about.
no he does not.
Black is a Criterion Games production. It was originally slated to be a pc game. The graphics from the previews a year and a half ago(for pc) are pratically the same as the ones on this xbox360 version. The graphics are moderately good at best.
look at the models. low poly count everywhere. the gun is low poly, the enviroment is low poly, the textures are low resolution(look carefully at the gun and at the the walls and that car, it's very reminiscent of Red Faction, the original one.) The smoke is nice, but call of duty 2 does better smoke. The bump mapping is used to cgreat effect, but every game since 2002 has used bump maps to death. Particle effects are below average in number and detail.
ok well i was wrong...if we disect it like this pc games running on med-high settings will look beter, my point was that a 5 yr old $150 console can produce graphics that good...that is all, and to me and the casual gamer there is not much of a difference between this game and far cry or something.
You must be blind or something. My buddy who never plays games and doesn't really care for them except for Tiger Woods Golf suddenly commented when he saw me playing Far Cry. You are either blind or have never seen Far Cry. You don't have any place to compare anything to Far Cry if you have never seen it and obviously you haven't.
