"Battlefield 3 is looking to be shooter of the year, and an all-time classic to set the precedent for what will be a very deciding decade of interactive entertainment.
"As a gamer who owns all of the consoles and who builds (and loves) the PC platform, I can’t help but feel pity for those who will be playing the title on a console.
"The PC version will run at true 1080p HD visuals, have support for 64-player multiplayer scenarios, and features unrestricted map size.
"The console versions, on the other hand, will run at sub-HD 720p, support a maximum of 24-player multiplayer, and have cut-down maps.
"Let’s face it: this is clear, blatant evidence that the current generation of consoles are horribly outdated, and are hindering what gaming can aspire to ascertain."

They can add all the fancy shaders, and lighting effects that can to console games, but resolution is arguably the most important thing when it comes to a visually pleasing game, in my opinion. I'd take BF2's graphics at 1080p and 60 FPS, than BF3's console graphics at <720p and <30 FPS.
The real reason why PS3 isnt doing all games in 1080p yet is because Sony doesnt want devs to be able to take full advantage of the PS3s hardware yet.
"We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that (developers) want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so then the question is, what do you do for the rest of the nine-and-a-half years?" explained Hirai.
I agree with Sonys strategy, how would we see progress if all the hardwares potential was available on the first year of launch.
Edit: i see PC and Xbox gamers disagreeing, sucks to be stuck with outdated hardware, No cell no bluray, no RSX hahaha.
Back on topic- Just because UC3 and Gears3 will look good on consoles doesn't mean that the consoles are not outdated. I don't think it a takes a genius realize that hardware that was lagging behind when it was launched is outdated all the more 6 years later.
The post-processing effects and lighting in that game are beautifully done, but as a compromise the significantly cut the resolution. So the game is blurry and edges are blocky.
Also its not like we wont be getting a 1080p option, i wouldnt be surprised if afew years from now a HD remake is announced on the PS4, at which time we will be getting the option to buy the game in 1080p, i say its a win win situation. We get to play the game in 720p today and get to play it in 1080p later, PC gamers are stuck in hi res land and have no options.
"Most of us PS3 gamers actually prefer the blurry look. 1080p is just too sharp for my eyes."
For the love of god don't say that too often, knowing this site it wouldn't take too long before people start repeating it and actually believing it.
On topic, despite consoles still knocking out some good looking games they're now getting a bit long in the tooth, 720p 30FPS has been the standard this gen but times change and hardware moves on, and the consoles need to as well.
"I'd take BF2's graphics at 1080p and 60 FPS, than BF3's console graphics at <720p and <30 FPS"
seriously dude...just for the sake of trolling or what?
see the video below and many more on YouTube and even a child can see that BF2 looks like shit compared to MANY MANY games on consoles this gen! even Conduits on the Wii looks miles better!
http://youtu.be/aaqztgYn-L8
When you line up a game running at 1080p on a 1080p monitor at 60+ FPS, then show a game that obviously has better graphics than it running at <720p on a 1080p screen at 30 FPS, one could argue that the older game at a higher res and FPS looks more visually pleasing because of how crisp and smooth the picture is.
Frame rate and all that stuff that makes the game look more pretty, doesn't make the game more enjoyable
It's still the same game.
How do I have less bubbles than powerofcell?
Please tell me that was sarcasm.
Frame-rate has a pretty big impact on how enjoyable a game is.
Oh, and guess what, I can also afford to buy all the games I want, plus tons of great indie titles on Steam.
+1 immature for all of your comments.
OXCGN is ready for a new console? Shocker. /s
If there's any site plenty ready to see another system rushed out and pushed on us with billion dollar marketing campaigns, it's OXCGN or PX360.
Clearly trolling, but I'll play along.
You're completely full of crap if you think no one cares about PC gaming.
/Done
Well good for you. Its obvious that developers are making more money by bring games that once were PC only to consoles now. You can have all the graphics you want, but the truth of the matter is all these FPS are selling way more on consoles than on PC.
Thats without 1080p and without 60fps.
But most of us don't have the time or the money to play EVERY good game out there. It's more about picking the platform, or platforms, that best suits your tastes and needs.
For me, most of the games I like tend to be multiplatform games. So whichever platform gives me the best experience with those games (in this case, the PC) is the platform I will tend to prefer.
The PC enhances my experience in quite a few ways: modding, better graphics & performance, better online options, etc.
I really have a problem with people who act like there is something wrong with caring about graphics or performance. They always insinuate that PC gamers care more about graphics than gameplay, which frankly is a load of crap.
Gameplay and story are of course the core of any game, and good graphics are never going to turn a bad game into a good one.
That said, once you have decided that a game IS worth your time, what is wrong with wanting to experience it in its most pristine and refined form?
It's like telling people they shouldn't care about getting that HDTV or Blu-ray player they are thinking about because it's "all about the movies". Well, duh, it's all about the movies, but that doesn't mean that you don't want to experience said movies in a more aesthetically pleasing way.
There is nothing abnormal about wanting to move from that 27" standard-def tube tv to a nice big-screen HDTV, nor is there anything wrong with wanting to experience the games you love with the best graphics and performance possible.
Have fun. I'd rather play the game on my comfy sofa than at my desk.
I can't believe you have only one bubble...have another.
BTW the blurry look most of the time doesnt come from low resolution but from quincux AA they blur the whole image to make jaggies disappear like in assassins creed that really looks ugly on PS3 so blurry its not even funny. I still have to decide whats worse. having no AA or having quincux AA. Infamous 2 would be pretty if not every edge would blink like a neon sign if you move. Resolution doesnt add that much to visual quality if you dont have a huge screen or sit 10 inches away. 32 inch 2 meters away and its hard very hard to tell if 1080p or 720p the further you sit away from your screen the smaller the screen is the less you are able to see the difference until its physically impossible to tell the difference at all. The blurry pictures in consoles have less to do with resolution and more with AA. Sometimes its even used at purpose like in Infamous where the picture is blurry until you start the electricity then it becomes clear. I can live with 720p what honestly bugs me is the size of maps getting cut and just1/3 of online players thats a reason to wait for a ps4 version or to buy it for pc. the ps3 comes to its limits mainly due to lack of Ram which cant be compensated by the Cell unlike a weak gpu.The Cell is the last part aside from bluray thats not totally outdated. Ofcourse 2xBluray and a chip with a mere 235 Million Transistors is also outdated but not as extreme as the rest of the Hardware.
OnTopic, We have had this article many times before(pretty much), I'm sure people know how old the consoles are, and they must know by now how nice a game looks at 1080p and at 60FPS.
I own a pretty beastly PC and I love playing most multi platform games on there, Its lovely having smooth motion and less jaggies. But playing the same games on console does not hinder my enjoyment of the game and I regularly find myself having some good old Uncharted and Killzone sessions. I am still very impressed with the graphics. Its all still pretty damn good If you ask me, and why some people feel the need to put consoles down constantly is beyond me. Yeah consoles are old, why are you advertising such a blatant fact to people that either already know, or are just going to deny it?
For all you non PC gamers out there I would say, don't let these articles get to you, Don't fret about the version of the game you get. Know that it's still damn good and the games are rarely on 'lowest settings' as some people would like you to believe. After playing extensively on a game the differences become meaningless.
I will get battlefield on my PS3 first because of the fact that all my immediate friends only have PS3's and I will want to enjoy this great game with them, and I will not be dissapoint.
Likewise for a game like Skyrim I will get it on my PC because of the stream of MOD's that is sure to follow (and the pain of installing them)
I love it all....
To all Console gamers, when the new consoles come out, I guarantee that the loud mouth PC gamers will go back to that shit hole they crawled out of.
Consoles F**K THE WORLD!
If you respond to a troll comment, the troll wins.
Pc is progressing too fast which isnt necessarily a good thing. people dont get to enjoy what is out, before they know it something better is out. this sort of sucks because u never know what best pc has to offer.
As a PS3 gamer i can safely say uncharted 2 is still one of the best looking games. this is so cool, its so predictable. i would feel so out of touch if something better was out all the time. All of this new stuff coming so soon must be hard on the pc gamers.
Pushing for 60fps in a shooter is a waste of processing power. On my PC, I always push for the most detail possible whilst staying above 25fps. If I'm at 60fps, it means there are detail sliders I need to crank up (or, it's just an old ass game).
O.o?
What games do you play?
30fps is horribly low, especially for multiplayer First-Person Shooters.
High frame-rate is essential for precise aiming, especially in engines where game-engine calculations depend on the frame-rate (such as CoD).
Its like a constant bullet time effect lol.
I enjoy both PC gaming and home console gaming, I dont have a high end PC tho so I dont play the games with top-notch settings :/ least I get to enjoy diversity.
Agree or Disagree if you Agree
I agree. Though I'm no expert it seems that they can always squeeze a bit more out of the systems if they try.
I don't like sitting at a PC to game, and so don't buy PC games.
They are homogenous platforms with 6 year old technology. They need to go.
Face it, most people aren't smart enough to build a PC, or master a PC game.
The problem is there is no way to do so with dignity.
What do you even mean by that? How can you not do it with dignity? Can you only hook a pc up when you're wearing your underpants or something?
Lol, you're a funny one frosty :P
I am getting owned at BF because I have my mouse on a notebook, and it's not super smooth, also the position is never good for precision....
Nowadays, 720p is a joke in PC standards, so no it's not really a high-definition resolution. And once you try a game in complete 1080p glory on HD TVs/monitors, trust me, you wont revert back to the outdated blurry excuse of an HD res, which is 720p.
That's like saying that since we have HD, sub-HD color TV is the same as black and white...
"And once you try a game in complete 1080p glory on HD TVs/monitors, trust me, you wont revert back to the outdated blurry excuse of an HD res, which is 720p."
wow, not even to play games not available on PCs such as PS3 or Wii exclusives? dude, you're not a gamer, you're just a graphic whore!
How many people are pc gaming on screens bigger than 47 inches? You can't even see the difference from 720p to 1080p on screens smaller than that. Or maybe 42 inches. not sure which one it is.
Point is... how many PC gamers are using screens that big to see a slight difference between 720p and 1080p? not many at all.
They don't look much different when compared to their predecessors.
We're definitely in need of new consoles from Sony and Microsoft. I want Gears of War 4 to look like Unreal Engine 3's "Samaritan Tech Demo."
Here we go again. The Samaritan Demo could have run on a cheaper Hardware it wasnt optimized at all so they went the brute force way. Id Tech Ceo is confident (google it) that aslong as the consoles provide an usual power boost in line with Moores law they will be able to ship games in that graphic (with significant improvments over the time). Pc can ALREADY make Samaritan Demo graphics if you could optimize it on one gtx 580 they said it in the interview following the samaritan demo.
Well thats way i took this article.
My response is speak for yourself. dont try to compare pc to consoles how many times have we got to say this.
there games that are made purely for 1 system. for consoles' called exclusives and its thanks to thoes games that uses the consoles power to make games that cant be compared to pc. because its there own game designed and made around the consoles hardware and limits. and some the stuff they have produced are amazing.
bf3 is multiplatform. its offerd console owners a chance to get involved with a awsome fps game with one of the best engines this year so far.
And still people have to find some BS to knock consoles. stop being a ASS.
now i feel much better.. :-)
Using your incompetence of picking the wrong part as a reason for sticking with consoles is idiotic. I have a 3870 and it plays everything on high. Meanwhile AMD is up to the 6000's. I'm 3 generations behind and doing just fine.
@phinch
You'll have a ps3 until the ps4 comes out then.... you have to upgrade to play new games. Upgrading a pc costs around $300 when you have all the other parts (drives, power supply).
GO HOME! before skyrim and battlefield 3 gutter stomp there stupid asses
Unfortunately for us, there is just not enough competition so we won't see a new powerful console for a while.
PC's has it's weaknesses, but nobody can argue that if a game is on PC and consoles, PC always wins in the performance department.
I love the convenience of my console (and will stick by it), but it is WHAT IT IS! Want the best looking game, get a PC!!!
i am perfectly happy with current consoles and i am in no hurry to spend 400-500 for a new consoles
maybe we can't get pc resolution but i still think games look above average
and just because game doesn't run 60fps doesn't mean its bad. insomniac went from 60 to 30fps for all their upcoming game because they said they could get better results
the only thing i dis like about pc gamers they act like they are the only ones supporting gaming when its the other way around
> Isn't it: couldn't care less?
"i still think games look above average"
> Above average compared to...?
"the only thing i dis like about pc gamers they act like they are the only ones supporting gaming when its the other way around"
> So pc gamers are the only ones that don't support gaming? O.o
They're complaining that the current-gen has hit a roadblock, both in visuals and performance... but you want to delay the next-gen because you don't want to spend the money of a new console.
Which one of these two groups do you think is the bigger supporter of gaming?
so if we do a poll of 1000 gamers more will say no to a new console now. What's all this noise about is whenever a new pc game comes out which will look better and play better on pc we start to see article of we want new consoles
BF series has always been a pc series so its no surprise it look better on pc its suppose to.
one thing i did not understand is when dice said on pc version each match can have more players and their reason for consoles not getting as many players believe it or not was because pc crowd asked for it much louder than console gamers
so really for a game that will do better on consoles sales wise just because we not lot asking for it doesn't mean we don't want it
end of the day you want a new console wait for wii which is suppose to be next next gen i guess i will wait for ps4 and next xbox in next 2-3 years since these consoles are still selling for 300 bucks and long away from selling for 99
I am sure most of ya'll saved money when ya'll were kids to get that must have toy, game, doll, etc... Well now you should do the same.
@PandaMobile
True to that.
@gaminoz
New consoles do not come out every 2 years. I am not saying focus your savings all on gaming.
@Omi25p
Gears 3 does not look better than Uncharted 2 so why did you list gears 3? Oh wait I know, it is so you dont seem like a fanboy and get marked as trolling.
If this worked financially for game console makers, then they'd have released Xbox 780 and PS4 by now. Not everyone can focus their entire savings on gaming. Some have families and living to pay for.
If you read carefully you would have noticed that I say they didn't come out every 2 years (and that it obviously didn't work financially for console makers to do so).
I probably wasn't clear enough: the idea that we should keep up with PCs means that we'd need upgraded consoles every few years...not on a long cycle like the moment. That is just not going to happen. Who wants a slightly more powerful same console?
I personally do not want to waste money buying consoles every 2-3 years just because the PC version is slightly better in graphics. that's why they are constantly upgrading there PC's and spending hundreds of dollars. power to them if they can, but some of us just cant spend hundreds of dollars upgrading our PC.
bubbles to you to for having common sense in this site.
You people need to spend less time studying the pixels, more time playing the dam game.
DICE are graphics whores?
DICE are graphics whores? "
yes a dev company is who I was referring to -_-
quit worrying about the dam resolution, enjoy the game.
"What studying of pixels. We humans are visual creatures. Games are a lot more immersive when you don't have blurry graphics with edging artifacts and low resolution textures. "
actually Silent hill was a lot more immersive due to its lack of onscreen Eye-candy; creating a actual sense of isolation and dread. If you complain about this gen as having blurry graphics, your beyond repair.
Shows what you know. Battlefield 1942 and 2 were pretty much the creme de la creme of multiplayer graphics in 2002 and 2005.
Every major installment has been groundbreaking.
'' this is their first game that has had its graphics so highly acclaimed''
No, did you saw the Graphics of BC2 on PC using DX11?
Are you serious, I have played the sh!t out of BFBC2 and I love it, but I certainly wouldn't boast about its graphics, there are plenty of better looking games.
Lol, sucks your all out of bubbles, I guess that's what happens when you don't know what your talking about.

1080p is full hd
640p is sub hd
Or higher... if you want.
A game being on consoles doesn't always mean much.
TF2 is on consoles, yet compared to the PC version, it plays very different.
The Battlefield series also play differently on PC due to increased player counts.
Games that support mods also can change a lot, such as the Wanderer's mod for Fallout3.
So there's a fair bit of experiences that can only be had through PC, even if the base game itself is found on other platforms.
Star wars the old republic to add a couple more
I'll stop there as I hate writing lists of games no one cares about.
but i have to admit when it comes to power and performance its all PC
no one can deny that
at least the 360 vs ps3 is interesting since they are both fixed platforms
with totally different architectures competing against each other in an all out war of
parallelism ps3
and tried and tested gpu framework xbox 360
.
I have a question...this is the PC version of Battlefield 3 running on high settings...um...what exactly is there to be jealous of...looks like a launch title on CONSOLES...
http://youtu.be/0MgQMoPwGwM
So you have all the consoles and then you drop this less than complimentary comment...
" Those boxes in your living room are pieces of crap "...
...Wow, but tells us how you really feel...lol...it gets better...
" Don’t get me wrong (although I know many will): I love my consoles to death "...O_o...
..oh sure you do, when they are not being crap RIGHT???
" I can’t help but feel pity for those who will be playing the title on a console "
Go right ahead and " feel pity " but I have a feeling that those gaming this fall on consoles could care less about the PC or a spasmatic like yourself.
Let me know when your PC can play Resistance 3, Gears Of war 3, Forza 4, Uncharted 3 and Halo Anniversary. ;)
There's no 2 PC's the same. EVERY PC player will experience a different version of Battlefield 3...hopefully, yours will look like the version in the beta being played RIGHT NOW.
PC...Wats dat. :/
@prophylactic... Couldn't wait huh...lol...
" stupidly critiquing "..I'm sorry, it's obvious you. The truth hurts, wait till the game launches. :)
Here we go again with the alpha footage. That game will look EXACTLY like that. The beta is for, bugs, glitches and other reasons peanut, NOT GRAPHICS 10 weeks out...0_o...new to gaming???
Nextdly ( O_o )...a good PC...what exactly is that???
The lighting, the clunky animations, the basic color palette, bugs and gliches...lol...it's all bad and nowhere near the fidelity of the pre-E3 fantasy PC footage...watch and see...only a couple more weeks now. It will launch with 2 or 3 patches not because it's running great.
First, that's ALPHA footage of MULTIPLAYER. Those graphics are FAR from final, and MULTIPLAYER visuals are always less than the campaign. Do some research.
Nextly, a good pc CAN play those, no problem. Watch your wording.
Lastly, a LAUNCH TITLE? HA! You're so silly. Know what a launch title looked like, most likely before you could use a computer? http://www.youtube.com/watc...
ah so you care some then ? dirty troll
I hate to bring this up.. but talk all u want about sub hd grafix, but there's a reason developers have shifted pc exclusivity towards the consoles and that's pretty simple more $$$.
There are far more consoles out there than there are up to date gaming Pc's.
Disagree all u want but console verions sales are going to dwarf the PC sales...
On another, related note, this is why console gamers don't like PC gamers.
Hell, I got plenty of disagrees, but the only person who said anything said something positive.
Quite a bold statement for a game that has yet to be released and who's campaign we know little to nothing about. I'd wait until it's actually released to call it an "all-time classic."
@ PIayStation below so true all PC elitist fanboys care about is graphics and perfomance. They dont care about story, gameplay, soundtracks, interesting characters, having fun... everything that makes games an art. You will notice that all they talk about is resolution, frames per second and how inferior consoles are compared to PCs ! I actually know elitist PC fanboys that spend more time tweaking their PCs than playing games.
I'm holding onto the fact that consoles are getting more and more expensive to buy, not to mention games, and the cost of living is also increasing. I, myself, am a gfx whore, but I can't afford to but spend 1k on a PC as much as i'd like to.
With that said, Battlefield 3, while not as good as PC in terms of gameplay and gfx, is and still will be a GREAT experience on any console; just look at BFBC2.
Maybe you should stop the techno babble and the specs chanting. I don't need R3 to look as good as BF3.I just want it to be good game. A few technical hiccups and slight graphical blurs are irrelevant.Tired of PC snobs.They are as annoying as trolls or fanboys.Consoles have disadvantages the same way PCs do. Why can't you just let us play them in peace?
What we call visually impressive is unimpressive to some..
But they also said this!
"I've always been a console player, but this game makes me want to be a PC gamer. What we play on is the PC build more often in the studio and it just looks amazing ... We try to develop them [360 and PS3] in parity, but the PC build has a life of its own."

99% of impressive console games are linear & use mlaa aa to stay at 30fps @ 720p..
lol, yeah right.
Please not that game.
Here's your evidence
http://www.youtube.com/watc...
http://www.youtube.com/watc...
The editor wrote a Flaimbait article that really has nothing news worthy to talk about. He must be desperate for web hits!!!
PC this console that blah blah blah.....are you serious? Everyone by now knows the dealio with Console vs. PC hardware so system bashing is a waist of time.
and actually the WIIU if it uses a modified version of AMD HD 4870 (so far as slated) will be a huge step up in graphics over the PS3/360 cause the HD4870 can do DX10.1 at 1080p with 2xMSAA very easily while maintaining 30fps with 1Gb Vram.
If that's too complex for you well I'll put it this way....The HD4870 can run Crysis maxed out in 1080p with 2xMSAA and that's a HUGE jump in console graphics from right now.
So the writers comment of "The WiiU being just a little more than current generation boxes" is TOTALLY wrong when you can go from doing barely 720p to now being able to do 1600p in which the HD4870 is capable of plus the HD4870 can do MSAA.
So that's just my two cent on Flaimbait article and I'm looking forward to the new consoles and hopefully the WIIU keeps the HD4870 cause that card was a Beast back in it's day.
please rise and enjoy your games....lol :)
"The PC version will run at true 1080p HD visuals, have support for 64-player multiplayer scenarios, and features unrestricted map size.
"The console versions, on the other hand, will run at sub-HD 720p, support a maximum of 24-player multiplayer, and have cut-down maps.
720p is HD. 1080p is not true HD it's full HD. Go tell all the TV makers that their 720p HD TV's are not HD. I'm not much of a Battlefield fan but I may give this version a try.
1080p is "FullHD", 1080i, 720p and 1080p are all recognized HD standards!
It's not that PC gaming isn't amazing. It's just that some people don't have money spilling out of their mattresses just for it.
At launch most console games are 10-20usd more costly then PC versions. most gamers buy 1-2games a month by the end of the year that difference alone is 200+usd, by the second year PC is already cheaper and giving you better quality of gameplay(plus its doing alot more then just playing games).
next factor in that PC games prices fall real quick, websites likes Steam and D2D give insane discounts, new games tend to cost between 10-15usd within 2-3 months of launch, something that just doesnt happen on console.
When you factor this in PC becomes cheaper much quicker. Also you dont need a 700usd PC to outperform console. 500usd PC will still play most games at 1080p, while the 350usd console will only play 5% of its games in 1080p with little to no AA.
Pc gaming being expensive is a myth, its actually the other way around.
And it is a way overblown statement, PC gaming doesn't cost a grand if you know what you're doing. But it still takes a $700 PC to start up. Although the flip side is you also have a damn good computer too, so it makes it hurt less to blow that.
And I dunno about you, but even though I want to get a new PC for BF3, I'm content with every game on my Xbox 360 playing on my 720p television, without any flatscreen lag from up scaling and that crap they do, it's awesome. I love the quality consoles still put out, actually.
Since you game on the Xbox 360 you forget to count you need to play 50-60usd every year, just to go online. That adds up too.
there are about 3.5million peopleonline on Steam alone during peak times, thats more people then XBL or PSN has at peak times. Just because you arent willing to buy games online doesnt mean the world isnt :)
I personally bought about 6 games on steam this summer, all of them put togehther cost me about 100usd and most of them were 2-3 months old. Had i bought the same games on console i would have ended up paying in excess of 300usd.
Sorry dude, but PC easily wins cost argument.
Another thing to consider, once your warranty runs out and something goes bad on your console, u need to replace the entire system. What happens on PC? you just replace the part that went bad, hence in the long run PC goes even cheaper.
Furthermore what happens when the next gen arrives, all those games you bought for thousands of usd this gen, may not be playable on the next console, with PC BC is pretty much a given.
Console games go on sale too!
Are those console sales anywhere as good as the sales on Steam or D2D?
Listen.. when u buy the game on steam , u give up your rights to resell the game. U may catch a sale on steam for those games but what about new releases??
Are u gonnna wait until the publishers decided to throw u abone with a pity sale months after its release..?
I buy the game week 1.. finish it and resell it $30-40 dollars online (via glyde or amazon)
That so called wallet raping game I bought only cost me $20-30 dollars in the long run.
Meanwhile every game u download has ZERO resell value because u cannot sell someone a download... :/
Consoles:
Cheap
Easy to Setup (no configuring)
Turn it on and go (quick boot)
No need to upgrade hardware to play latest games
I love controllers (my opinion here)
PC
More expensive
I feel the need to upgrade all the time to get the most out of the newest games
Keyboard and mice are uncomfortable (to me)
Mouse is too twitchy (to me)
I know you can use a controller on a PC, but I'm not going to want to use a controller against everyone else who's using a mouse online.
For me, my console is still going strong. I love not having to mess around with graphics settings and trying to get the highest framerate possible with the best graphics possible and constantly needing a better video card. Also, on a PC, you have an OS to deal with as well... with updates that sometimes break other games.
I'd rather just buy a game that I KNOW is made specifically for my PS3 and know it's going to work as good as the developers want it to.
ohhh look my game looks better. - pc gamer
ME - fuck off its the same fucking game.
http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Its stupid to even try comparing why dont people just get on and play there games and shut up ffs. I get some sick graphics on my PC but it don't stop me enjoying either my PS3 are xbox360.
To many petty kid fights up here. Why not enjoy where we are going in games and take it day by day. We all in on this ride together tbh and as far as i can see its a ride thats aint stoping anytime soon..
I think PC gaming is a shallow experience compared to consoles since PC's aren't dedicated gaming machines unlike consoles. Plus consoles are much more comfortable and hassle free compared to PC gaming.
I'll be just fine with my console version of BF3.
