... isnt close to dying. Its the biggest plattform.
No other console can stand up against the PC in sales. The problem is that they always compare the PC to CONSOLES, which is like one plattform vs 10.
Here in Sweden pcgames stand for 51% of the overall gamesales, so here the PC is bigger than all consoles combined. Several other countries in europe got about the same statistics.
And COME ON! The PC graphics are always one step ahead. Hig res, better textures, AA+AF and S...
Wrong. The PC market is bigger than any console.
The problem with the "comparisons" you read is that it takes ALL consoles vs PC, which isnt fair.
The PC market is way bigger than any console. Here in sweden the pcgames stand for more than 50% of all sales. more than all consoles combined. Its the same in many european countries. A little different in america but still, pcgaming is bigger.
And most of you misses the point.
What hes sayin...
Ill post the same thing here as i did on the blog.
No no no no...
This is such a generalization so i dont even know where to begin.
First of, no one buys a 7k PC. Thats retarded from a gaming perspective.
Secondly, Exclusivity isnt an issue on the PC. PCgamers dont CARE about exclusivity as long as their games dont get consolized (useless UI, menues etc. think oblivion).
And you do the same damn mistake every semi gamejournalists does. You make it PC vs ...
You dont have to stay "cutting edge" You could stay in "High end" with an upgrade every ~1½ year.
In many countries its the truth. In sweden for example. The PC game sales outnumber all the console games sold COMBINED.
The number quouting a "decline" in pcgame sales are just counted in a retarded way. Not counting digital sales and other stuff can make it look like the console sales have the biggest piece of tha cake but thats not quite true.
There is only really one downside to release games on the PC platform and thats piracy. Other than that you dont nee...
Belive me. Its like a shallow copy of Max payne. Its nice with destructible enviroments but it just feel a little too crazy and some of the "missions" you have to do is pure crap. In "stilt city" you have to shoot "drug labs" (tables) in 3 places and 10-15 tables each time.
The standoff thing is fun though.
... Sharper textures! This looks better than the 360 version. Hope itll be as much fun on Pc as on 360.
I really enjoyed Auto assault, although it had a serious lack of endgame content.
Im quite confident that this will good as well. And its free so its a win/win situatioN!
Games seldom require more than 2 gb today true, but try editing 1080 HD material on your comp and youll notice a definitive difference between 4 and 2 gb :)
the 360 have NO dx10 functionality. It does have unified shaders but thats not DX10. And it DOESNT support SM4.0
Nice interview, really nice. Valve is really one of the good guys of developers. They know what most of us want.
And Doug didnt say anything that could be misinterpreted/used/abused by console fanboys on either side of the war, and thats refreshing in these days of comment wars....
Dude...
Far from every review have been positive.
Many have commented on the low quality slapstick humor, oblivionesque characters(they all look the same etc) etc etc.
This is a really good preview. none of the other has this much detail and they have the guts to question stuff, which is good. Im pretty intrested in how they explain the crater in Megaton. As they say, how does and unexploded nuke create a huuuuge crater?
Also since bethesda is constantly reminding ...
Looks nothing like the original locorocco gameplay.
Several have tried it on the 2k forums and after two installs. It doenst work anymore.
EVEN if you uninstall it first.
Broken....
Why wouldnt it be? That gfx would probably hang around for 1½-2 years without having to put settings at low on any game coming out.
And by then we have a new generation of gfx cards and the PC graphics takes another lite skip ahead...
I think youre kinda off. Sure the killzone trailer is cool, but it isnt THAT spectacular. Im kind of dissapointed that its VERY grey and the lightning isnt really that nice.
There is no other graphics engine at this moment that can handle shadows, Transparency and all the other lightning goodies like the Cryengine2.
I mean theres a rediculous amount of detail. The Palm leafs actually lets trough light. Put it between you and a lightsource and you will se that it isnt just a stat...
That guy said nothing using a whole lot of words...
The price argument has been countered again and again.
The only thing i bought in my current computer for gaming only, is the 8800gtx. cost me around 450€, cheaper than an Ps3.
My whole compuiter cost around 2000€, but im not only using it for gaming.
My X360 cost 350€, but my LCD cost ~1700€ so thats actually more expensive than my computer. But same thing here, i dont only use the tv for gaming.
...
EA is just the distributor for this game. They dont have anything to say about the development at this moment. When it was announced they made it very clear that this is a crytek game, NOT an EA game...
Couldnt agree more.
Most of you are talking about graphics when its not really the main point.
What hes talking about is game speed, precision, aiming, gameplay, GUI, story and more.
Just look at Oblivion. It has the one of the worst menu systems ever on PC. Why? Because it was made to fit consoles.
Deus Ex 2 is another fine example. Instead of the interaction of the first game we are left with a semi linear shooter, where all problems are either SHOOT IT, Hack the...
