Tinkering with your rig is all optional. There are many that just setup once then play games at max settings.

Console games are a money pit too imo. You buy them at a premium price specially when compared to the deals at Steam or D2D, later after spending all those thousands on console games, you have no assurity if the same games will work on the next box.

Infact for the average gamer who buys 1-2 games a month the price difference between console and PC ga...

@datruth

Are those console sales anywhere as good as the sales on Steam or D2D?

This is awesome news. Played Risen 1 it was a nice game, cant wait for the sequel.

@powerofcell

So basically from what you are saying, you dont want developers to be able to take advantage of the PS3's full power day one? and would rather wait 10 years for that to happen.

Sorry but that would be kinda retarded, why would you not want hardware that you paid for to not be taken advantage of from day one?

@crytek

Its ok i dont feel the need to buy your games either :) If Crysis 2 sales were any indication for them should have learned a lesson.

Crysis 2 turned out to be a COD clone with nano suit. Sorry Crytec but people who want to play COD will buy COD and your sales numbers proved just that. No one plays Crysis 2 anymore. The people who bought Crysis 2 were thinking they will get PC like graphics on console it didnt happen. Next time around if they decide to...

My costs on games have dropped dratically, i dont buy most games at launch anymore.

I personally buy most games on Steam or D2D discounts. Hence my cycle of buying games is 3-4 months late. However i tend to get at a priceof 10-15usd, which can be a lot of saving over the course of the year imo.

Only games that i bought this year at full price were witcher 2, shogun 2 and portal 2. Everything else is purchased when they are on discount.

Those arent emulators mate, That is dedicated hardware to use Mouse kb with console. PC wont need any of that. PC will do it Emulated through software.

So while Console gamers may think before giving out cash for additional hardware, PC gamers will have it for free.

Lol its not hard getting a controlpad emulator, make the game think you are using a Xbox controller, while you really are using mouse kb.

5301d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

Problem with that is, PC is a very versatile platform. We already have emulators which can be used to emulate a Xbox controller via Mouse keyboard. Hence Xbox 360 gamers will end up facing PC gamers with their mouse keybaord, which imo will be very disbalanced.

It probably will be a cloud based service and probably will be coming to other iterations of windows as well. This is just Microsofts marketing ploy to market windows 8.

I do not think it will be an emulator that can run Xbox 360 games, niether do i think they will port the Xbox games to PC.

Anyways most Xbox games are already on the PC. The ones that arent generally dont matter to the PC gamers.

Do you get a display with a Console too at 300usd?

a good 24inch monitor can be had for 200usd. 300-400usd is 3D monitor territory.

Lol please stop talking about stuff you dont know.

Consoles never did top PCs at launch. If so then why doesnt the PS3 have a single first person shooter that runs in 1080p 60fps?

8800gtx which launched few weeks before PS3 did easily plays many first person shooters in 1080p 60fps. While even PS3s own exclusives run in 720p.

Now dont refer me to some racing game with hardly anthing going on which runs at 1080p. When it comes to games that st...

Lol and its sensible to spend more on every game bought.

Lesson number 1: hardware is bought once and is used for 4-5 years. Games are bought every now and then, If the games are costly its going to end up being more costly in the long run.

Lesson number 2: Consoles require patches too, if the console maker is lazy you cant do anything about it. On PC you can try to do work arounds. Games crash on console too. Lol @ not having enough ram, any entry level PC t...

Lol you dont have to optimise PC games any mid range hardware will play 1080p 60fps. Now you if you do wan to optimise you do have the choice for that.

With console most games run at 720 @30fps. You dont have a choice to optimise, if a game is running at 25fps... well you will just have to live with it.

@Js2kings

here is a link to a 500usd PC, it plays all games in 1080p. Mean while PS3 and Xbox barely play 5% of their games in 1080p (even which are not graphics intesive games).

Only console gamers see it that way. Loosing an exclusive lol. Imo all games should be multiplat. However they should catter to every platforms strength.

Unfortunately the platform that suffers the most is the PC. If more devs worked like CDproject or what Dice is currently doing things would be good.

Lol they mention it looks like medium settings on PC, which again they may be saying to make the console fans happy, developers usually do this. Later on the game may be Sub hd running at low settings.
