That's true for the common pc user, but when you can create GPU farms like this, it makes more sense then buying 23 PS3's.
Just a little stat to those disagrees
ProcessorTFLOPS/CPU
GPU~~~~~~~~~~~~0.0594
Cell (PS3)~~~~~~~~0.0159
CPU (Windows)~~~~0.00095
You can still make a decent setup that's more powerful then current Gen consoles for around 500$.
If you look at folding @ home stats, GPUs are WELL above PS3's in folding power. The industry underestimates GP-GPU power. The average pc gamer gpu by it's self is much more powerful than a PS3.
Some monitors get up to 2560x1600, there's quite a bit to play around with. As well as your hardware point, I think I addressed that pretty well when I said Crytek had to make a game that scales between so many systems rather then one standard piece of hardware. As for the rest, well that's the beauty of the PC platform. Even if the original Crysis AI isn't good enough, people made better. If people want higher resolution textures, they make them. Also, even Cryengine 2 as it is has better ph...
If anything the goal is to run at a higher resolution, so if you can, why not? You also seem to disregard the fact that the Cryengine 2/3 are full fledged engines that are the most complex and advanced in the industry thus far. Not every game is going to look at polished as Killzone 2 in the end when you are making a game to scale from running on a 6600GT to a GTX 295 rather then making a game for one set piece of hardware. Also, what the modding community has done with the Cryengine 2 has be...
I'm pretty sure they made a little game called Crysis: Warhead on PC a while back. And that's still on top.
Wtf is this game even about? Tentacles? Demonic creatures? GTA? WHAT?
Ever venture to think that a PC runs a full OS, you can even play games windowed and do multiple things at once? And actually run Crysis at 1200P? Hmm....
But I hope Nvidia's GP-GPU goes some where, my GTX 280 is a monster when it comes to General Processing. It encodes videos 100x faster then my 3.9GHZ E8400.
I have a feeling the CryEngine 3 is just a step down from the CryEngine 2 behemoth for consoles. If you notice, there is a gigantic lack in distant vegetation in the video.
I never really liked my PS1 all that much,but I absolutely loved my N64 because of Super Mario and Zelda. For me it was N64 then PS2 that was amazing.
It really isn't that terrible. If you want to just play, you say create local gamertag and you enter in a name, and wollah, you're playing. If you want to play multiplayer, there are always hamachi lan overrides you can use ;)!
I was going to say, where was Black on the list? That definitley was a breathtaking 6 hour run when I first played it! Plus it was for both PS2 and Xbox, they have room to at least mention it somewhere...
My bad, sorry I forgot that it only takes 600$ to build a PC able to run Crysis(as well as the largest library of games) on high settings.
Crysis Warhead ring a bell? Everyone forgets PC's still actually have games.
Lester Speight play Cole Train? That's the way Lester Speight normally acts...
oomgmggg, CRACKDOWN 2!!! I really hope that is confirmed soon, the first was such a fun coop game~~
I was going to say, there were a bunch of zelda games up high, but no mention to Oot while even Twilight Princess is on there. I can assure you, twilight princess does not outpace Ocarina of Time!
Don't know about you, but I max out Farcry 2 at 1920x1200 with 8xAA with over 60 fps, it's not a hardware eater. Crysis and GTA IV are a totally different story.
While the 9600GSO is a good budget card for 60~70$, it's absolutely pointless to have 1.5GB of memory on such a weak card, especially for 200$ when you can get a GTX 260 or 4870 for sub 200$.
This is a MEDIA pc, it's cool because it runs 1080P movies flawlessly on such low profile hardware, which isn't really meant to play games. 1.6ghz Atom + integrated 9400M? Not going to run much.
