How is this being "Narrow minded"?
Just because a PC dev doesn't want to make a game for 360 using new and untried hardware doesn't make them narrow minded.
GPU's since Nvidia's 8xxx series have started to move towards being GPGPU's (General purpose graphic processing units). They're good for almost anything now. AI, video encoding, physics calculations, raw calculations for things like Folding @ Home.
A $150 PC graphics card has more power than the PS3 itself. It's hard for console guys to comprehend, but it's true.
Edit: Damn, ninja'd by Sukru :P
It beats on the i7 in video encoding.
The cell is a hybrid between CPU and GPU. It's paralleled like a GPU, but threaded like a CPU.
That's why takes a lot of time to develop efficient applications for the cell. My uncle works for HP in Toronto and he's a programmer for their blade server department. He said the cell is such a radical change from the standard CPUs that it's like learning how to program from scratch.
But I stand by what I said about mu...
Sony should have designed the PS3 better to cope with multiplatform games. Sure, the PS3 exclusives look a lot better than the 360 exclusives, but like 95% of the multiplatform games (the games that make up most of the industry) look and run worse on the PS3 because it's so hard to program for 7 SPUs and SPEs and whatever else the cell has inside of it.
Microsoft had the right idea by putting a tried and tested 3 core PC CPU in the 360.
I've been on a LOT of gaming sites and N4G is the only one with a Sony population that's this retarded.
(I'm not saying all Sony fanboys are retarded. Or Xbox for that matter but there's just a group of them here that defy reason)
This gen's RenderWare is Unreal 3. Works great on all platforms.
Microsoft has never been a huge player in PC gaming. The only good thing they've given us (besides the PC architecture) is Flight Simulator.
The 64 bit version of XP had a lot of driver compatibility issues.
It never ran stable for me even after I tried reinstalling it a couple times. Then I switched to x64 Vista and everything was well.
The consoles have GPUs from 2004 or 2005. You can't honestly expect a port from PC to go well when they're trying to develop for high res, high performing PCs, can you?
Pretty much.
PC version officially supports 2560 x 1600.
And if you've got a TripleHead2Go, you can play at 5040 x 1050.
Just a heads up:
This is a fake. The Facepunch and Steampowered forums got their hands on this days ago and everyone collectively agreed that it's fake.
There's a lot of subtle differences like the font type and stuff.
It's not the leaked soldier info.
Christ, this question has been answered like 10 times already.
CONSOLE GAMES COST $10 MORE BECAUSE IT'S ESSENTIALLY A TAX TO MICROSOFT AND SONY. That $10 covers the cost of simply developing the game for their system.
The L4D DLC Pack came out on the same day for PC and Xbox 360. And both for free.
But in terms of TF2 DLC, that's a whole different ball park.
Better not be Activision.
Valve said they have more L4D DLC in the works. How does announcing a new game make them greedy?
He means that Valve's priority is the PC platform. Always has been, always will be.
One word. HipHopGamer.
There's like 50 COD4 and COD:WAW servers that require no CD key to play. So it's not like those who pirate MW2 will lose much of the experience.
Took the words right out of my mouth, Shbzshar.
