This bundle really should have been included.
It doesn't take that much to render in 3D, especially with the 3DS' low resolution 400x240 display. Also, you won't see "near HD graphics caps" as the GPU in this system is still far behind the G71 based RSX in the PS3 and R500 based Xenos in the 360.
Well, my $800 laptop right now has 1GB of video memory and 4GB of system memory. 2GB of RAM is already considered low end on the PC, so I imagine by the time the PS4 and Xbox 720 come it'll be even less impressive. Hell, we already have smart phones with as much RAM as the PS3 and 360.
Also, 3.2GHz doesn't mean anything unless you're comparing two CPUs of the same architecture. A Core i5, or i7 does a lot more per clock cycle than the 360 and PS3 CPUs.
Except the 360 and PS3 versions of the Orange Box were never updated. The PC version has seen dozens of title updates adding maps, costumes, character tweaks, achievements, etc.
I'm not sure, I'll have to wait for the game releases to find out!
Modern Warfare 2? Fallout 3? The Orange Box? Hell, most of the list is multi-platforms that looking the worst on the PS3. Little Big Planet, Infamous, God of War 3, and Flower should have been included instead.
Who decided that the PS3 and 360 are the two best gaming consoles? Not the 73 million Wii owners I take it? Don't get me wrong, I actually prefer the PS3 and 360 to Wii, but to claim one is objectively better than the other is pretty silly.
Also, I like how they list "total system bandwidth" for the 360 as being 278.4GB/s thanks to the 10MB of eDRAM. It's only 256GB/s for that 10MB, not the 522MB total inside the 360. Why don't we list L1 and L2 cache ba...
They did demo it on the iPhone 4, which has a screen resolution of 960x640, which is higher than what Alan Wake is rendered at...
Joking aside, as powerful as the iPhone 4 is, it's still a far behind the capabilities of the PS3 and 360. An ARM CortexA8 and a PowerVR SGX535 can only take you so far.
Yeah, I own the Eye as well so I might get 1 Move controller, but it's going to have to be damn amazing before I drop $180 on a complete set.
I still plan on buying a virtual boy eventually for my collection. It'll sit right next to my Atari Jaguar collection.
For awhile I usedTVersity, PS3 Media server, and PlayOn, but recently stopped. I now just plug my laptop into my HDTV via HDMI and play everything through that. It would nice if Sony decided to add MKV support to the PS3 though.
You wouldn't buy a PC to play games on if all games were exclusive to the PS3? Such a big fucking surprise. I wouldn't own a PS3 and 360 if there were no games for those platforms either.
The truth is that the PS3 and 360 are starting to show their age. The 360's GPU is better suited for lots of transparencies as seen in Mafia II. The PS3's GPU is better in some other circumstances but those do not apply here. Sure developers can work around the RSX's disadvantages as seen in beautiful looking games like Uncharted 2 and God of War 3, but that takes time and money.
You can try to diss them all you want as a PC developer, but their game runs and look...
Quake 3 Arena for the SEGA Dreamcast.
The game looks great on the max settings, and I've been happy to see both my laptop and desktop are capable of playing it better than the 360/PS3. My desktop is a Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.6GHz with 8GB of RAM and a Radeon 5870. My laptop has an Intel Core i5 430m with 4GB of RAM and a Mobility Radeon 5650, and surprisingly manages to run the game at max settings without anti-aliasing at 1366x768.
If Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo are working on the PS4/Xbox720/Wii2 (which they should be) first party studios will be the only ones to see them this early.
DirectX 11 support please!
They were talking about trying to pass Epic for licenses sold to other studios. This was never a discussion on technical prowess, but your PS3 fanboy sensibilities decided to make it so.
Who gives a shit about another Call of Duty cash-in? This franchise will be dead in 5 years.
I really want to see Alan Wake on the PC with DirectX 11 support!
