The Computer Gaming Evolution

With the next generation of consoles on the way, we are being promised new ways to be able to connect with others and more options when playing games, such as the built in share button in the PlayStation 4’s controller and the option to play games while they’re downloading. As gamers, we have to ask ourselves do consoles still provide an easier experience than computer gaming or does the flexibility and adaptive nature of computers ultimately make that experience superior?

of course consoles provide an easier experience...

for one, you don't have to fuss around with hardware/software compatibility, and it's not nearly as expensive/time consuming as building your own gaming PC. and let's be honest - no PC elitist would settle for bottom-of-the-barrel components.

Zha1tan4789d ago

And that is why you have sensible PC users who buy based on price/performance ratio.

And I have done the math behind it and long term with PC I ended up saving money due to the cheaper games, steam sales, games generally having a longer life span, not having to replace broken down consoles, pay for online (on xbox obviously).

It's initial cost is high but it becomes cheaper long term so long as you are a smart spender and not won over by shiny overpriced branded products *cough* Razer *cough*

Easy is defined by your technical knowledge as well because I found setting up a PC a breeze and I have never had a problem I could not fix nor have I had problems with games.

Consoles are more simple but there is no real need to compare, just enjoy what you have got first and foremost....or be greedy and buy them all like I did :D

gazgriff2k124789d ago

its no were near a tie i play both console and pc and even though consoles are not problem free its still day and night compared to pc plug and play. when have you ever purchased a console game and not been able to play it for example

blackyeti4789d ago

Computers dont evolve, they just get stronger. Now console on the other hand.. Oh shit look! They're evolving now!! OMG OMG OMG

CaulkSlap4788d ago

Well I'm just glad the last 5 years of consoles holding back game development will take a leap forward. PC games have had superior graphical fidelity all along but the core games are still designed to run on 2005 hardware with 512mb ram.

dcbronco4788d ago

I'm so tired of hearing that consoles are holding back PC gaming. Developers will make games where there is money to be made. If they made money pushing graphics as far as they could go on PC they would do it. But they don't because the money made on consoles is too good to pass up. If PC gamers really want developers to push the over-priced hardware they need to demand that they do it. There are plenty of PC exclusives, Push those to the limits.

console is a "console" and PC is a "PC" thats y they have different names...

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing5d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit5d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing5d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster925d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
