So why did Sony opt for the RSX if it was so bad? Why not just implement 2 Cells?
It was their own production, would have been cheaper in the long run. Why get a RSX from Nvidia if it was so bad?
Sony must have known something you dont to have taken the RSX from Nvidia despite Nvidia being so costly.

But PC has COD :P 50% games on console are COD clones anyways.
@Hicken
With that reasoning almost anything on discount can be considered free lol.
If on Christmas holidays i bought a suit that normally costs 1000usd for 500usd since it was on discount? would i consider the suit free?
Of course not. I can consider it at a discounted rate but not free.
@outside_ofthe_box
Funny to what level some of you will go just to label the games free rofl.
You need t...
"the wii u is a quick fix for now but in the long run will be a costly mistake for Nintendo"
Not really, Wii was by far the most profitable console this gen. Both MS and Sony struggled. MS might have come out of the red barely, Sony is still probably in the red in this gen. Hence if the Wii U is a repeat for Nintendo just like the Wii, its no way going to be a "Costly Mistake".
Get a dolphin emulator, it will look even better in native 1080p :P
PS: try using something asides your grammas laptop.
They should have just given an Android phone complementary, that would have switched apps faster :P not to mention better browser lol.
No surprise, its not intended to be a MP game anyways. Farcry series never was.
Plus its a console ports, console games arent known to have dedicated servers, the standards just are low.
Cell phones have the best efficiency of any device then, so will u instead plug a cell phone to the TV and play?
No u wont.
Its quite obvious the lower the specs the lower the power requirement, doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. Question is are you willing to play at those downgraded levels?
We will know how much the game has been held back due to consoles once the PC mods are out ;-)
GTA4 already looks better than GTA5 with mods. So yea there is no question both the kid boxes will be holding the game back.
"I dont plan to throw my ps3 away"
That is a pretty retarded thing to say. You still hanging on to your PS2 as well?
When PS3 was half way into its cycle people kept saying I have a PS2 so dont need BC (Sony defence force).
So question is are they going to keep rebuying the PS2 and PS3. Also are they going to have 3 consoles sitting on their TV sets just so they can have all the BC.
Also what happens when 4K tvs are...
No point buying multiplats for any console. No BC later on.
PC the ultimate gaming machine.
Besides console gaming is just to expensive and limiting.
@NathanExplosion
Lol, why not link a game like BF3, Witcher 2 or Metro 2033 maybe?
Maybe show BF3 running in eyefinity and still managing over 60fps. The difference clearly is beyond a generation, as i dont think even the next consoles will be able to manage BF3 @ 5760 * 1080p over 60fps.
Lol forget my desktop PC, My 3 year old laptop with the following specs:
2.4ghz dual core cpu (I5)
HD 5870M GPU
4 gigs ram
Takes PS3 or the Xbox 360 to the cleaners lol. Mind you laptop graphics are much weaker than the desktop counterpart.
When i am traveling i have all my games on my laptop (thx Steam, no need to carry around disks). Just plug the laptop onto any HDMI TV and it transforms into a supercharged console, play wi...
Negative, consoles versions are the inferior versions. As a 500usd gaming PC will play this at 1080p.
Lol we have multiplayer in Just cause 2 as well. Just was on the PC though. Was a community mod.
"Battlefield isn't a bad game but I certainly prefer the Black Ops speed"
Cant count that as an advantage unless you game on consoles. Both games easily run above 60fps on PC.
Hes not generalizing.
He said "consoles and their restrictions". That doesn't have to specifically mean region locked or not.
How is the OtherOS treating you? or how is the BC working?
Its a restricted platform, you get what the platform owner wants you to, nothing more nothing less.
I think PC gaming is making a strong comeback, specially with consoles being so old. Most of my friends who used to play on consoles are now back on PC.
I think this time they probably will stick to PC its because most console games getting released are already on the PC. Most of them have been gaming on PC since the last 2-3 years. They have built good libraries with all the Steam discounts. Great part is the libraries only tend to get bigger had they bought those games on ...
lol not really. console gamers used to enjoy pop in and play with the current gen many games need patches and if the dev fails then the console gamer has no hope of being able to play. lets not even get into firm ware updates.
at least on pc when a problem does happen there are several ways to get a solution. on console u r stuck.
"Console gamers are inferior to PC gamers because they ALSO sacrifice quality for simplicity/affordability." ;
Well i wouldnt say consoles are necessarily more affordable than a PC. Most people already have a PC, all it costs to make it a gaming PC is just the graphics card, after that all of us know games on PC are much cheaper.
Even if you were to build a PC for 500-700usd you can make an amazing one, which can play games in 1080p. That price isnt ...
