Video Games ****Official Pc vs Console thread**** - Page 13

**hometeam** · 05:32 PM

Well, with the way some threads get going in here, and not wanting to poop in other peoples threads, I figured this is a good way to pass some time.

I wouldn't be mad if a mod went through the last PC V Console posts in the next gen thread and moved them over

I'll start -

I would like to point out the above image that currently the revenue for consoles is currently higher. This is because console games, on average, are nearly twice the price of PC titles.

DISCUSS

edit: I would like to bring conversation in other threads to this thread as they appear, to avoid hijacking legit console or other media threads~

It is pre-rendered in the game engine, just like every cut scene/trailer of most games. They created the effect by making the textures that are normally animated, out of real life photos. So in effect, they get more realistic looking textures because they are literally using real life imaging. The game will actually be coming to consoles as well. But, like all games, it will have be dumbed down in order to run on them.

In the words of the guy videoing the 4x4k display powered by NVidia - SUCK IT CONSOLES

I guess its a good thing that graphics dont mean much to me. As long as it looks decent and is fun, bring on my consoles.

Except Madden, MLB The show. Grand theft auto 5(for now)and other games that arent on the PC or are delayed due to pirating. Ooh and the fact that thepeople i know that game game on xbox mostly. When i wanna get my street fighter on the pc lobby is as dead as they come.

my pc is strictly media streaming and general internet surfing. I know a good gaming rig is better then a console, has been since forever. Im not a graphics freak. As long as it looks decent and i can have fun in the game im playing, im good with it.

Meh, a couple exclusives mean nothing compared hundreds and hundreds of PC exclusives~

Also, when has a game ever been delayed due to pirating?

console is stealing your money!

You have a very good point. With Steam, amazon, gamefly and humble sales, you can have an incredible prices for great games. I see these console game sales, BIOSHOCK INFINITE FOR $30!!!!!!! I just bought the entire bioshock series last month for less than $15. Yeah, I cannot sell them, but the last time I sold console games, I was embarrassed with how little they gave me. Getting $12 for a 3 month old $60 game blew my mind. If you wait for the sales, you can get a pretty awesome experience without spending a boatload.

The achilles' heel of PC gaming is ports from consoles take too long or never eventually arrive.

When they are your favorite kind of games its a pretty big deal. Also alot of games that come out 2 weeks a month or a year down the road after a console release is because of pirates. I've talked to developers/pr/marketing guys from gaming companies about this.

They maximize on the consoles cause thats where the money is, then release it on PC later to make free dollars and if they pirate so what.
