The Wii is a fad...I traded mine after it sad unused for a very long period of time, I have owned every nintendo console...the Wii is the only one that sucked...4 years on...still no rogue squadron...
The others are just joining in the fad because it makes money.
EDIT:
You know how Nintendo are these days, they will make you pay for the traditional controller as an extra, it would be worth it though, playing paper mario with a wii mote was r...
Shh you're going against the grain...'there are no downsides to 3D, it's all thanks to teh cell that we can play beyond (TM) the tradition dimensions of gaming' Remember the chant, now go my son, spread hate across the land like a plague of...hateful locusts.... :S
I've been thinking about buying this but i'll have to wait and see the reviews, a bad port is a game breaker. I've bought 3 Capcom games in the last week for PC, RE5, SFIV, and DMC4...alll were extremely well optimised and customised for PC, 2 of them had DX10 lighting and all 3 supported ambient occlusion which was a nice visual bonus. Other publishers/developers could learn from them. THQ have been good to PC gamers but they don't develop a lot of their own stuff these days,...
Bobby Digital is the man...if I misinterpreted your username, disregard my insane comment.
You got a disagree, apparently 3D adoption is higher than everyone ( including those that make the TV's ) had thought, shame on you. Next time just write "3D is the future!, PS3 4 life, play beyond!", and you'll get 50 or 60 agrees and we can see what the collective I.Q of n4g is going by the number of agrees, I think it is about 60...
*crickets*...yep this is sure going to sell well on PC gathering from the warm reception this articles has received.
No. What an insane article. They aren't stupid, just like all the FAD effects: Motion blur, Depth of Field, 3D...they are all in game options.
also as Kingdom Come said...they announced it was a trilogy since the first Crysis, warhead was a bonus...
why don't you read those benchmarks you posted, they used analytical AA, aka no AA, and physx off, physx on the lowest setting takes 25% of your frames away, on full it halves frame rates, metro is unplayable with AA as well, combine those two things and you have an unplayable game, even with 480 SLI

Read that. I know what i'm talking about.
Metro with no AA and physx off= 31 frame average and 25 frame min at 1920x1200, with any AA and physx on low you can basically halve that again, so when you SLI it ( the 400 series has 100% scaling in metro ) then you will see it performs exactly like I said.
It...
Don't get your hopes up...it will be peripheral related.
I don't own a GTX480, I own a GTX280 and it is 3 years old, those visuals and that bench, are on 3 year old PC hardware...
I think you are overstating the cost of PC gaming.
Tessellation can also be done under DX9 at a software level, but not with hardware acceleration and I doubt openGL would offer the same kind of HW acceleration as DX...there is a good reason why openGL is no longer a primary format, DX overtook it years ago, and believe me when I say ...
From my comment:
"but a game that has min frames in the 20's with gtx480 sli with no AA.... "
I can understand why you would think I was talking about resolutions above 1080p...but that sad thing is, that is at 1080p...the game is so unoptimised that maxed out @1080p ( with no AA, I suppose the phrase maxed out doesn't really apply then ) the game gets about 40 frame average, 24 frame min with SLI 480's.
Actually RE5 of PC has better textures, better effects, better draw distances, 0 pop up, 0 texture streaming, 64bit HDR... the list goes on.
and yes it does look better than UC2, I have seen both, maybe you should open the screenshot and take a look. The lighting and effects in that game are some of the best I've ever seen.
I know you bluntly refuse to admit that anything looks better than PS3... but it is a fact, anyone that owns both a PS3 and gaming PC...
I'm Australian too, but on behalf of 99% of the population of which none of those words you mentioned are used by; can you please shut the F*** up. No one cares about your grammar, no one cares about your idiom. You brought up the the grammar issue, and failed miserably. Good day.
That Alpha Protocol screenshot looks pretty awesome, maybe it's worth a look...
"Tell me a game that look like GT5 on PC please. "
GRID Racing and Dirt 2, both look far better.

Resident Evil 5 on PC looks better than uncharted 2 does on PS3

Metro2033 supported 3D right out of the box...oh they mean on console's, got it. ;)
I refuse to buy said game though, I'm all for future proofing your games, but a game that has min frames in the 20's with gtx480 sli with no AA....
mind you that's with every on ultra high @ 1080p with advanced depth of field, motion blur and physx
I don't care how good looking a game is it's unoptimized as hell. I'm playing Devil May Cry 4 ...
Quick time event deaths, in RE5 i nearly torn a F-ing tendon in my arm thrashing the god damn buttons. over and over and over again....why do people still use quick time events again...at the start of the game I thought they were well done...towards the end of the game if was almost disk snapping time.
How is X3, nostalgia aside, would it be a good game to pick up now having never played it?.
I say this because often games from a few years back also have dated gameplay. It's one of the ones I've heard a lot about but haven't made the plunge.
I've noticed that every time Sony puts out something, even motion control which has been done for years on the Wii...people always cry "It's a Revolution!!!!!!!!"
Funny how insane people can look from the outside of the circle jerk...
