It all depends on what you use it for, my 5 year old comp and 4 year old graphics card is still more powerful than the gpu in the XboxOne. Consoles can boast better optimization but i'm not sure how much longer for.. (With Mantle around the corner)

I like to spend about £1,000 every 4-5 years on a complete upgrade, for hardware that does so much that is actually a good price. Plus you can sell your hardware later to help pay for upgrades, i know you can't sell mo...

Banning players for exploiting unfixed areas of the game is poor imo..

That would be as dumb as an anticheat system banning someone for going out of a map or something, the developers fault for leaving it in!

I remember a console command left in Soldier of Fortune 2 which would allow you to see players behind walls, yes they actually left a cheat in the unpatched version which even works online. And i remember there was a part of a map you could run up a hill...

Anyone notice that when it was announced for PC before, that the console crowd would say.. "Meh, already played it don't care if it comes to PC because it will be old"

Now they all say "bring it to next gen consoles also"

Gotta love that, in any case, i am hopeful for 64-128 player online on PC.. just hope the multiplayer is a TON better than IV's because IV's was nowhere near as fun as the SA-MP mod on PC.

Have to agree, not seeing anything of much interest either.. TBH all i'd buy a PS4 for would be a new mgs, uncharted and possibly a new crash bandicoot.. it will likely be a while till the good games come, Wii U has only just started getting it's games worth getting ( mario 3D world )

Well, considering the desktop 7850 is less powerful than my 4 year old 5870, i guess the PS4 is less powerful than that..

Btw my 5870 is worth about £80 now, so yeah.. paid about £300 for it @ launch, cracking card to last all this time though.

Where are those that kept saying they wouldn't care by the time it hits PC again?..

Will get the PC version anyway for a hopeful 64-128 player online.

No need to be so defensive man, and obviously there is little/nothing of interest on PS4.. there rarely ever is at the start of a console launch.

Wii U has only just started getting it's good games.

If you want a system that already has tons of games, with backwards compatibility.. build yourself a decent PC.

How can this thing smoke? Seriously, it's not like it's mega powerful putting out serious heat, this thing is less powerful than my 5 year old gaming PC.. :/

Something must've been amiss inside, like a heatsink not making complete contact with a chip.

I think the Anime style characters looked better imo.. still, not bad.

Wonder how good a next gen game would look, surprised they havent made another Doa Xtreme yet.

This one was more fun than LCS in my opinion, more stuff to do. Even though i guess Vice City is a bit smaller, it's more fun than LCS.. Vice City has more colour to it, Liberty City is mostly all (boring imo) city.

Haven't played V yet but my favorites would have to be based on the setting and how fun the games were.. and those would easily be San Andreas, Vice City and then Vice City stories. I never really got into GTA 3, all the vehicles seemed to hit top speed as...

@ Blacktar, Halo is so stale man.. i was bored of the first game, played like 15 mins of the third game and never played again. How many titles does Halo have already?.. Sorry but Half Life is a way better series, quality > quantity. And when Source 2 is announced with HL3/L4D3/Portal 3 etc.. it will blow all console games out of the water.

I played PC games in 2002 that were more fun and better visually.. online multiplayer was way better on PC's back then. And it'...

Even that scene sucked, i watched it on YouTube.. no heart went into it, just killed him off within like less than 2 minutes and it was over.

Writing of Futurama is much better imo.

Unless the multiplayer is 64-128 players, and we can make our own game modes.. i won't really be interested.

I've heard a few people say the multiplayer is boring, but i'm not so sure about that. Can't be worse than GTA IV's MP surely.

the SA multiplayer mod on PC is way better and more fun than the multiplayer in IV, so it would really suck if V's multiplayer isn't even up to SA-MP mod standards.

That's always the best way to do it, you do get to a point with deminishing returns once you get so far.. but i find spending around £900-£1200 is the sweet spot if doing a complete system from scratch. The good thing about that is the core system lasts you years and you can always upgrade the video card in between.

I usually give 4-5 years for a complete new system build.. it's not THAT much for an all around entertainment system, maybe £200 a year or ...

You could easily spend 2x the cost of a PS4 on a PC, even though it's difficult to build a gaming PC at the same performance of a PS4 while being the same cost, you can build one 2x the cost but it will give you 2-3x the performance of a PS4 and you will get a lot higher fps in games.

So basically you get what you pay for.

Or you could just buy a cheapy case, get a controller (if you don't want a KB & Mouse) and plug the PC into your TV, then get and install the free Steam OS.

4438d ago 5 agree3 disagreeView comment

It's free? If you have OEM Windows and you change hardware it bugs you about activation (i always buy Retail)

So basically you could install this and play any Steam game you want without having anything to do with windows.

Why not say r9 290, its practically the same power, much cheaper..

Besides, playable could mean only 20-30fps.. give me 1080p and 60/120fps any day, 4k is far from butter smooth.
