Counter Strike: Global Offensive Superior on PC?

PC gamers, it seems, have had a fair number of problems as of late concerning console versions of classic PC games. With Blizzard flirting over the idea of a console Diablo III over the past few months and with the brand new Counter Strike seemingly making the console its primary focus many hardware junkies have questioned these less-PC devoted strategies. Fortunately, Valve’s leading man Chet Faliszek doesn’t see the console versions of CS: GO stopping the PC version being great, even claiming this version to be ‘a whole different beast’. Read on for a full look at what he had to say.

How is this even a question? It's a FPS and VALVE, LOL!

OMG really all this time i thought it was dry :P

Fireseed5353d ago

Seriously these sites are just going for measley hits, with titles like this, Im sure it's pretty evident that any multi-platform game, made by a PC developer, is going to be far superior on PC. Not that theirs evidence or anything...

Battlefield 3
TF2
Crysis 2

I can only think of a handful of games not better on pc. Saints Row 2, resident evil 4, and arguably gta iv (although with a quad core its better on pc).

RGDfleet5353d ago

what happens if you don't have a good PC? Is it still superior?

capcock5353d ago (Edited 5353d ago )

Like you need a good pc for the source engine? ;)
The pc version is superior even in 480p on lowest settings.

It's CS, I doubt it's going to be that intensive. Besides, what's that got to do with it anyway? You compare to a pc playing the game that is capable of playing the game, not to a pc that isn't.

Chnswdchldrn5353d ago

Valve games, although multiplatform, are given the MOST love on PC and are always the best on said platform.

kevnb5353d ago

of course, there is this little thing called steam which makes them heavily pc invested.

4 or 5 players in a game is not players frantically dusting it off

Jin_Sakai970d ago

We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.

Vits970d ago

I mean it is a 1000% growth in the player-base. /s

mandf970d ago

Enough to write an article though. N4g new owners are insulting us for click revenue

Vits970d ago

@mandf

Nothing to do with new owners. N4G has always been the trashcan for game news and discussion.

northpaws970d ago

I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)

mandf970d ago

It's an exaggeration to the extreme. A way making an exclusive seen grander than it is.

Profchaos970d ago

Some people do I know someone who only ever plays dune 2000 which is rarely but still

RedDevils970d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno970d ago

Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.

Players Spent Over $100 Million On CS:GO Cases Last Month, A New Record

About 39.5 million loot boxes were opened throughout March 2023, right after Valve announced Counter-Strike 2. It goes without saying that gamers love gambling, especially those who play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

I have about 260 hours on csgo and have not spent a single penny on any of the microtransactions. You can still enjoy it since it's not pay to win.

‘Counter-Strike 2’ Release Date Nears As Devs Test Source 2

The rumours are heating up and it looks like Counter-Strike 2, the move onto the Source 2 engine for CS:GO, is coming very soon based on testing files found on Steam.

ZycoFox1169d ago

S&box devs already have access to Source 2 and have done for a while.

DOTA 2 was Source 2 but hardly anyone noticed/cared because it wasn't one of the Valve games most wanted. L4D3 was scrapped because Source 2 wasn't ready and buggy.

Half Life Alyx has been the only official Source 2 game that people notice so far.. The engine still looks pretty good graphically, but it looked far more impressive back in 2014 when the leaked plantation level that was rebuilt on Source 2 (for L4D2) was shown. Too bad it took this long for Valve to do anything with the engine.. with all the money they have I have to wonder what happened. Even a smaller dev studio could've produced stuff within a couple of years.

Richhard11167d ago

Not sure why this hyped tbh, it’s only in updated engine. Same maps, same game. So long as it’s top of steam listings, it’ll be here for evermore.
