here's what the ps3 uses so far, and some of the scary low resolutions used by todays consoles just to get a "playable framerate"
360 is even worse!
Alone in the Dark = 1120x630 (no AA)
Army of Two = 1280x720 (no AA)
Assassin's Creed = 1280x720 (QAA)
Battlefield: Bad Company = 1280x720 (no AA)
Beijing 2008 = 1024x768 (no AA)
Beowulf = 1280x720 (no AA)
Bioshock = 680p (no AA, blur filter)
...
his point was valid, pc sales are on the rise, starcraft 2, wow cata, and civ 5 all launched this year, steam just hit over 30 million subs, nvidia shipped its 1 BILLIONTH Gaming GPU ,( more hardwre than all of this and last gen's consoles combined) so yes consoles are declining, they are 5,6 years old now,ancient history by tech specs, the next iphone in september will be as powerful as the 360.
so
MS
Make a new console this year or GTFO
you ...
Wow....just...WOW
Mass Effect 2?
I peef more creativity directly into the ozone.
Starcraft 2 is GOTY
it's the only contender
1,000's of hours of gameplay
unlimited modding provided in a tasty package
I'm over 400 hours in and still learning daily
there is no other game that compares
I want new consoles, at least one, before 2011 ends. I am sick of 720p on everything but my PC. I want new, amazing, mind blowing graphics. I want 1920x1080p with 120 frames per second every fucking game, not just my pc!
I hate jaggies, messy, shit textures, and this slop spills over into PC on some lazy ports, so lame.
Please give us new consoles, for the betterment of gamers everywhere, five years is wayyy too long for a console cycle, let alone six.
not really.....
here;
Annual shipment volumes for the PC Gaming hardware market in 2009 were over two times larger than the combined Wii, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 console units shipped in the same period. This trend for the PC Gaming hardware market to outpace all console shipments combined is expected to continue through the forecasted period of the research. In addition, revenues from consumer PCs capable of gaming that shipped with a discr...
Stellar game on PC, loved it, I heard the 360 version was rubbish to play, horrid framerate and shitty graphics, I cannot say as I would never in my life buy a multiplat on this gen of consoles, always go PC whenever it is an option, true 1080p, 60-120 frames per second, I hate 720p and will only game at that res if I must, god of war 3 was EPIC and worth the slowframes and low res, same with killzone 2 to a smaller extent, crysis 1 was a far, far better game than any halo or killzone game. ...
honestly, to me, it IS just another mmo, it has nice graphics, nothing insane, but nice, I was in Beta4, it was no WoW killer that's for sure, maybe with another year or two of polish, honestly, they should have went with fully voiced quests, or something, nothing stood out to me.
Intro movie is pure shit, could not believe how low budget the production values were on it
those numbers are okay....this gen is almost over...you can feel the air slowly fizzing out of it, drifting there lifeless like a 3/4 full hellium balloon, bumping around in the dark, scared, frightened of what's to come.
PC gaming is where it's at
Nvidia just shipped it's 1 Billionth Geforce GPU
That is more than all the 360, wii, ps3, ps2, gamecube, n64 and ps1 consoles COMBINED out there.

those scans of tomb raider in game informer are most certainly PC scans, the actual game on consoles will not compete graphically with uncharted 2 or 3, pc will look better than console version for sure, but uncharted 2 graphics are a big mountain to climb...
so far, imo, the only games that beat uncharted 2 and god of war 3 are;
metro 2033 pc dx11
crysis dx10
warhead dx10

it's sad when a strategy game,(STARCRAFT 2), has a better story and deeper customization options than an "RPG"
ME2 is an RPG for the xbox360 generation(read: fps and platformer gamers)
Part 1 was pretty weak, "the reapers" (barf) but at least they tried.
Part 2 was b-movie lame, but sad too because it took itself seriously.
a $90 gpu will crap on the 360 or ps3 nowdays;
http://www.newegg.com/Produ...
literally
at 1440x900 (way higher than the ps3 or 360 produce 95% of the time)
this card will poop on the consoles
@lms
+bubbles.
so true
who would disagree?
$8 for mass effect 2 is a steal
i got it for $30 2 weeks after launch on amazon
pc version in 1600p with 32x sli anti aliasing @ 120 frames per second is so sexxxy
lol @ consoles
there will never, NEVER be a console game this gen that looks close to some of the scenes and vistas in crysis and warhead.
there will never, NEVER be a console game this gen that looks close to metro2033's particles and smoke and all around ambiance.
there will never, NEVER be a console game this gen that looks close to Dirt2 DirectX11
there will never, NEVER be a console game this gen that looks close...
it will not be out nov. 2011, unless the new consoles are, I only pray they will not release this game on current consoles.
Perhaps we will see the launch of a new console, we certainly need it.
I also believe RAGE will be a next gen game, How I hope so:)
wins by a giant margin......like always
thats why they don't include it, even game informer stopped the head to head shit...pc always wins, in performance(60 to 300 frames per second vs. the consoles at 20-30), in control, kbm shits on those clunky ass takes 20 seconds to do a 180 degree turn analog sticks, and most notably, pc DESTROYS console in graphics....the xbox and ps3 are the same, they both look like what they are, sub-hd, jaggies all over the screen blurry last ge...
at 90 frames per second on my rig, just like every other cod, it caps at 90 and uses like 20% of 2 of the 4 (plus the 4 virtual which are also idle, so it uses about 5% of the total available processing power on my i7, so no, not very cpu intensive at all , not sure what you heard, the servers are laggy as fuck, but it is the first few hours and like 2 million people have just flooded the game.....
SHITS on both console versions so bad it makes the ps3 and 360 look like wii graphics....seriously so...ya
barely get 30 frames per second right now in their sub-hd games with no anti-aliasing and crappy pop-in and horrible load times.
dear MS and Sony, lets try to hit 1080p for the next gen consoles this time and it will be a miricle
f'ing owned!!!
720p i.e. the frame has black borders
MLB09: The Show = 1280x720 (2xAA) or 1920x1080 (no AA)
Motorstorm = 1280x720 (2xAA)
MX vs ATV (demo) = 1024x576 (no AA)
NBA07 (demo) = 1920x1080 (no AA)
NBA08 (demo) = 1920x1080 (no AA)
NBA Live '08 = 1280x720 (no AA)
NBA Street Home court (screenshot) = 1920x1080 (no AA)
NFL Tour = 1280x720 (no AA, poor framerate)
NHL '09 = 1280x720 (4xAA)
