1 reason they do- OLD TECH. While PC get's 64 players on BF3 consoles don't.

agentxk4723d ago

That isn't really old hardware. Ever play MAG?

CrimsonEngage4723d ago (Edited 4723d ago )

Yes i have. MAG sacrifices graphics and destruction to allow for that many players and even then the game has a poor frame rate and lag's out the rear.

Your PS3 would explode if MAG looked as good as Crysis 2 or BF3 and had that many players. The PS3/360 lacks RAM and the GPU's are outdated. They don't even use direct X10. So yes, console tech is OLD by todays standards.

I don't understand this "old tech" argument, if we go by that then consoles would need upgrading every 6 months. Consoles are ment to be "un upgradable" and not like a pc, they are ment to Cater main stream and sell cheaply compared to a pc and be pick up and play. Now if we argued that devs have used up all the resources available to them and thus gameplay ect has stagnated that's one thing, but to use an "old tech" argument when things actually become "old tech" almost the day after release I find odd.

DA_SHREDDER4723d ago (Edited 4723d ago )

thats the thing tdog. Gameplay has been getting held back for the fact that if we just had more RAM, there would be more variety in our games. Games like Killzone 3 and MAG all held back because they just didn't have enough memory to add more. So we're stuck with the (seemingly) few guns, cameos, and customization options. I consider that part of gameplay, and to me games feel unfinished. For another example, you can use a cover system in single player of KZ3 but you cant in multiplayer.

Its okay though. Us console gamers still have hope. The Wii 2 might be a technical mess still, but if they released a machine that has at least 2 gigs of RAM, xbox 360 architecture, and xbox live type of online, it will be the end of the ps3 and 360 as we know it. Well maybe not the end of them, but I know what im gonna be playing most of my games on, especially games like COD and Battlefield.

Let's see what project cafe offers, I guess

Hopefully it has enough horsepower to last us another 5-7 years.

Here's hoping I don't have to shell out any big bucks for consoles for a bit!

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
