Games for Windows is for the PC so there is no competition against Home. As for the article Vavle's Steam slayed this beast before it was even born. The lack of dedicated servers and other hardcore features doomed this service from the start. Crap like achievements and useless features like cross game invites means nothing to PC gamers. There are plenty of free internet apps that does the same thing.
In other words whenever MS try to offer any internet service in a competitive ...
This is the reason I have a PS3. Well that and KZ2. By the time these two games come around nobody will care about FF13...because we'll be playing GoW 3, KZ2, AND FF 13 LOL!
This game is best played on the PC where even a $200 video card can plow pass 60 FPS @ 1080p with full 4X AA, something that can't be done on the consoles. But I suppose PS3 fanboys need something to cheer them up, not like losing the FF 13 exclusivity really changes anything for real gamers.
Looks good but there isn't any real news since this is basically the same tech demo they intro last year. Considering the snail like progress they're making this game will be lucky to hit the PC by the end of 2009, after that they'll hand over the port duties to EA to farm the cash.
Crappy port for the console for the lose. If id is really serious about the consoles then they need to work on the console versions instead of farming it out.
Umm, no. According to the announcement they'll develop the 360 version after the PS3 is localized. In other words, Japan PS3 first, American PS3 second, 360 development BEGINS.
As an added bonus 360's definitive version of FF 13 will include a disk swaping mini game, yay!
Breakfast seems to have his brains fried by the RROD. There is no cross game invites in Bioshock.
This is a shock to you why? This card came out roughly the same time as the 4850. One would think the 4870 would be better considering it's price. Its not like the 4870 just hit the streets today.
Personally I still prefer the 280 GTX. The 4870 is a nice value but the performance is still second best.
Can't they come up with a better name for this other than the father of the evolutionary theory? Why not Archimedes while we're at it, at least that would make more sense. What a total marketing failure.
This is what seperate the PC from the consoles. Extremely high resolution textures and crystal clear graphics. In fact the texture resolution of this game is higher than the native resolution of most console games.
News flash!!
iD already stop making PC exclusives years ago with Doom 3 and Quake 4. Welcome to 2006. Duh!!
He never said iD will stop making PC games, he merely said "the focus just has to be on the consoles" in terms of suitability for his multiplat Tech 5 engine. Of course the best version of any iD games will be on the PC be it Rage or Doom 4...but those games are so far down the pipe they'll probably end up on the next, nextgen like Xbox 760.
And people still want to work in the gaming industry, suckers. Too bad Flagship choosed to crash and burn rather than take money from Korean investors, I wonder what that was all about? I wonder if that means Mythos will end up as a Korean MMORPG?
Its like a Russian version of Fallout FPS.
This post wins!!
You need a price war in the GPU industry to realize that? Drop that gamepad and get a job you bum.
Read speed of 95 mb is nice but the read speed of 70 mb is quite average.
Isn't that a poor choice? I dunno that like making a game based in Fresno. Its a city nobody cares about.
Get it for the PC, its the best version anyways because of mods. Then buy the digital download. Play.
Are you seriously recommending people use a Mac? Thats dumb beyond on comprehension, Vista hate is understandable, but using anything Mac smack of ignorance.
The Mac has been, and still is, the most overpriced and expensive computing platform on the market. EVERYTHING about the Mac is a ripoff. Just because it suck less than Vista does not make it a viable alternative. Thats crazy talk.
Using the Intel CPU cost a freaking fortune at first but CPU prices fall very quickly. What can be very expensive one year can be dirt cheap the next. Compared to the cost of owning and operating a Cell manufacturing plant like what Sony did, the Intel CPU is a massive saving.
And no, ATI is not owned by Intel, its owned by AMD.
The PC already touched this in 2002 in a Sony game called Planetside. Welcome to 2002.
